I hope you're okay by now, but if not you might look at the place behind
McDonald's just south of Hwy. 203 on your way into Mammoth.  The guy's name
is Bob, but I can't remember the name of his place.  A-1 maybe?  He got me
on the road again after an alternator problem that required some
troubleshooting.  Sierra German Auto in Bishop is also good, but... they're
in Bishop.

Ahh, I found it.  It is A-1 Auto Repair.  760.934.7870
