Marla,
I had a feeling that was you at the gate as I was leaving. It was me who
recommended the Warren Ave. mechanic, not Doug. Not surprised you couldn't
find him, his garage isn't visible from the road. For future reference,
coming from Forest Ave, you'll see a Happy Wheels skating rink on your
right. About a hundred yards past that on the left is a small diner, painted
blue and yellow. Turn down the diner's driveway and Kevin is the 3rd
building on the right.
Hope you get your van straightened out OK.
John Flaherty
