not familar with springfield, but i used a goodyhear store on the south side of town, right off the james river freeway... i think the cross streets were republic and national. used them last year in a bind.. seemed to be a good bunch of guys and were helpful..

GOOD LUCK!

Good for you! last time I broke down in springfield..... I had 300 bucks in Rental car....

not counting pulling trailer down to get my suburban and then fixing the dropped valve

Oh well

That was my fear. Fortunately it didn't come to that

glad all is back to normal okiebluegrass.

my wife & i always discuss what we would do if we broke down, could ya imagine calling a family member or friend & ask to be picked up 4-5 hours away from home??!!

i guess thats why we all save as much $$$$ as we can.

As a matter of fact, we were kinda wondering what we were gonna do. I have family in Joplin, but still that would not be fun. This car is going intothe shop to get a good bill of health before we head down in August.
