    I don't know for sure but I was there in the middle of the night and the shop was open. Can't remember what day of the week it was though.

    i'll tell you NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER stop to get work done in Edwardsville. That is unless you want to take a little mini-vacation.

    other day i was there asking about an R/O that just popped up on my qualcomm....and another lease driver was in there asking about getting a b-service done. I waited till the shop foreman walked away from the counter, and said, "buddy, you dont want to have any work done here. When they guy told you "oh later tonight or in the morning", usually means it wont get in till late tomorrow night".

    manteno mechanics were great. I asked for a few odds and ends for a trailer emergency kit, and they gave me a clear bag full of goodies. couple springs to suspend your tandem air-lines, 2-3 trailer brake lights, 2-3 corner/DOT lights, about a 10' left over roll of DOT tape....u name it i got it. If they could have fit a spare dura-plate in there, i'm sure i'd have got that. LOL
