On the Earl Mann shop in OK...GREAT folks...I had
motor trouble comin' back from Wilson's Salvage a few
years ago...Got their number from a friend, got towed
to their shop. They were busy as hell, but stopped
what they were doin' and got me back on the road fast.
Quality work, quality people. I HIGHLY recommend
them.
