Mechanic/Tow

AdamSelene · Aug 27, 2012

I know its a hopeless quest.

Does anyone know a reliable mechanic that does house calls, a reliable tow truck, or both together? Escazu.

Relatively new SUV won't start after being left for two months with dead battery won't start after replacing battery (although it sounds like it wants to). Ought to be pretty simple, a tow seems overkill, but I know about as much about motors as you know about programming.

Jorge, 2288-1682 has been my mechanic for years and always good and fair. His small shop is up the mountain from Bello Horizante Country Club.

On occasion he has come to my house when my car wouldn't start due to a battery or other problem. Once rescued me from under Los Anonos bridge area! Tell him John gave you his number. I am confident he can solve your problem and fairly. Doesn't speak English but I believe you speak Spanish, right?

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the referral. Car started fine this morning, but it's good to have such references handy.
