We did find someone and he was great. Being strangers in town, we were just worried that we would get taken advantage of. We really lucked out. The camp host here at Storrie said her brother was a mechanic. He came here, towed our Jeep to his place, replaced the water pump and did an oil change and lube job and replaced a fan belt and only charged us 140 dollars. Did all this and had it back to us in less than 24 hours. We were very pleased.

I really appreciate your help though. As fulltime travelers, the only downside is when something like this comes up and we don't know anyone in the area to tip us off to the good guys. I usually just rely on Internet reviews but there was very little info about services in this town.

I'll save that website for future use. Thanks again!
