Can anyone recommend a towing service and/or auto repair shop in Terre Haute?

My daughter lost the brakes on her car one stoplight shy of getting back to campus. She says it has almost no brakes at all and she is afraid to drive it, and I agree that she shouldn't try to.

I need to get it to a garage and get it fixed. I am 200 miles away and I was hoping an INGOer could recommend a decent place to take care of it.

Sir Thomas Automotive is my favorite mechanic. Owner is a good guy, fair rates for outstanding work and he warranties all repairs he does. He has a towing service also. 812 234 6900. Plus, he likes skeet.

Glad I stumbled on this thread. My niece is at ISU and having car issues as well.

Don's service center. 15+ years of work for me, always excellent. Not the cheapest in town, but honest, does solid work, and backs up his work.

McCord Tire/Goodyear in front of the mall! Owner is a good guy, a little weird, but a good guy!

+1 to this. This is the first place I check when it's maintenance I can't (or don't want) to do myself.

Another plus is work done there is backed by a nationwide warranty at all Goodyear auto service centers!

Thanks for the suggestions. I will start making calls when she gets out of class.

For towing, Absolute Towing. They do $40 in town tows. 8122437374

As for garages, I like Wilguess Service Center at 19th and Hulman.

I worked for Finzel's Mastertech when I went to ISU 10 years ago. There were a couple good techs there. A couple moved on to Don's.

There was a shop 2 blocks south of ISU campus. I think it was mostly tires Anderson, Adderson, something like that.

Atterson's is the one you are thinking of and I have heard good things about them. It is 4th and Popular.

McDonalds towing (like mentioned). Good guy, and personal friend. I'm also friends with Durrs towing.

I would say Finzel's or Don's for a good place to go.

If she really needs help and is in a pinch I might be able to help get it somewhere or look at it.
