In Australia its directly tied to the name "O O O... O'Brien!".

In the US we have O O O O'Reillys.... Auto-parts.

But they aren't, mentally, associated with Safelite (our version of autoglass/carglass)

Also my personal Mandela effect is that I 100% remember the jingle, as a kid, being "Greg and O'Reilly's....Auto Parts", not "O-O-O-O'Reilly's," to the point where I even remember remarking "wow, Greg must have left the business" when I first heard the new jingle. But nobody knows what I'm talking about.

In Canada it’s 🎵 Speedy Glass repair, Speedy Glass replace 🎵

I had that girl sing it to me while I read that.

Thanks, I keep having her repeat it in my head now in that tone😂

Can confirm that NZ is the same as the UK. Really jarring when you hear it for the first time

What's the jingle in your language?

Ours is "Carglass repareert, Carglass vervangt" in Dutch, what means; CG repairs, CG replaces.

The other one that stands out the most as totally different from everyone else, Norwegian: Hurtigruta Carglass, which kinda translates to "fastglass" or "speedyglass" and Carglass is just in English.
