    To answer the OP
    Big Dummies CB shop near Horse Cave/ Park City Ky has done work for me over the years. He used to be across the interstate from the Loves but moved somewhere nearby. He is on channel 19 when working. Steel Rods in Northern Indiana somewhere north of Lafayette does good work. I haven’t been by there in years. Deputy Electronics at mm 50 in Seymour has a nice shop about a mile east of the TA with truck and trailer parking but I haven’t used them.

    Maybe the CB shops should carry a wide variety of replacement smartphone touchscreens, along with proper training on how to do the replacement.

    Why in the early 2000's we had discussions about the cozmo's and light travel theory. Regularly we would discuss quantum physics.

    Nowadays all people want to talk about is string theory.... Pfft, theoricical mombo jumbo...

    More than likely you’ll need to send it off not many radio shops left. Some are just complete hack jobs

    Clays can go to hell with their mask Nazi bs. Bexar County has a mandate and as a private business they can either require a mask or not. But when they have a sign on their door and start spouting off that its a State law to wear a mask, then they can F right off.

    Ask me politely and I might do you the courtesy. Walk up to me and demand it while lying about a fake law? Eat a bowl of ####s. I took my business elsewhere.

    Steel Rods use to be in Remington, IN next door to the Petro. They have been gone a couple years now.

    I haven't been by there in a long time. My company doesn't ever run up an down 65 in the hoosier. But anyway it sucks that he's not there. Steel rod was always a decent fella. His shop started out up at the 215 or the 230 before moving to the 201.
