Subtle mechanic in Butte?
My brother is at the side of the road 20 min west of Butte with no oil. Waiting for a tow. Any recs on where to take the car?

kevin delapp in bozeman at deeter automotive. What kind of car is it?
No oil, as in it needs a new motor? Or he caught it before things went really wrong.

The jury is still out. If he ran it out of oil he should just take what he needs and start hitching, leave the car. Originally Posted by wooley12

Theres a subie dealer in butte, might be the best bet if you aren't willing to tow to a more liberal town
If its a blown motor, definitely worth taking it to an indie mechanic as opposed to the dealer. Don's subaru in bozeman is pretty good.
If its fubar and he wants to ditch it, I would be willing to take a pass at it before it sells to a mechanic.

2) Kent Bros. automotive in Missoula. Next door to Kettlehouse Brew Pub.

Just be thankful you don't need a brake job in Maryland.

^^^ It's in the lot now with the keys in the ignition.
OR
174000 miles. Clean. Non smoker. Free 1/2 tank of gas. Trailer hitch included. Install the engine of your choice. Must sell today. Make offer.
Thanks all for your support. The kids hung out with folks in a broke down 5th wheel and were excited about getting to ride in a State Trooper car and a tow truck. 12 hour drive to rescue kicked my ass.Last edited by wooley12; 06-09-2016 at 01:25 AM.
