I don't recommend Contract Auto because I've had bad experiences with them.
I do recommend Vee Dub Service in Ogden. Ed Rogers is the owner. 880 W. 2100
S. and 801-392-0212. Also right in Salt Lake is Millcreek Garage on 4384 S.
900 E., 801-262-7077. For a wide assortment of parts and very good advice
contact Aircooled.net Inc., John, 362 W. 6100 S., 801-453-1906, also in Salt
Lake.
If I can be of any help while you're here give me a shout. And you're right
about our temps here that time of year. Likely be in the high 90's, low
100's and A/C sure is more comfortable than 2/60.

I live in the Avenues area, near downtown.
