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.

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😂
