This place is awesome. Someone in the Zion visitors center parking lot pointed out I had a flat. Oh no! My day of hiking ruined. I wait an hour for a tow truck to come out and put the donut on-- "$200, please." That seems excessive but I'm hostage, what can I say. So then I ask Claude/ChatGPT where I should drive to to actually get the tire replaced or repaired. They both recommend this place. (I love when they agree.) I get there maybe around 11am. I'm desperate for quick service because I don't want to lose a day hiking on my vacation. (Had a permit for the Subway.) Long story short, not only do they patch the tire within 30 minutes, but when they call me back up to the counter, they're like, "Oh, yeah, no charge. We do patches as a courtesy." The audible "Whaaaaaaaaaaat?" that escaped me... This is a shop that must deal pretty exclusively with vacationers that they will never see again. That they would treat a one-off customer with such respect-- compare that to the $200 fee from that morning-- really touched me. (They could've charged me anything; what was I gonna do?) When I am back in Zion, if anything happens to my car, these dudes have my undying loyalty.
