Hi Fred. Do you know Chip at the tire/alignment place on Main. Trying to
remember the name of the business on the east side of main about 2 blocks
before Center st.?? A block or so south of the Maverick station. I've dealt
with him and his guys and they know what they're doing. I had a Pathfinder
that they straightened out for me after a Big O here in Salt Lake screwed
up. I trust them.
