This story is long, so, TL:DR Crowell Bros is a gift.
I'm a road comic based in Wisconsin. (You can check me out on Facebook @sean patrick moore is my favorite comedian.) I live in my van. I was traveling from the Hoh Rainforest to Ocean City to work and stuff, anyway, my brake light came on. I didn't notice any pull or loss of breaking ability, but I pulled over and looked underneath, but didn't see any break fluid leaking, and there was plenty of fluid in my brake fluid reservoir.
I thought, well, i aughta just have a mechanic have a little look see.
I was on my way to a different auto repair shop in the area, but I got into the wrong lane. I pulled into Crowell Bros. by mistake to turn around. I read the sign and figured I'd go in and see if they were busy. They were. Very busy, but the mechanic that took charge had just moved a vehicle out, and was about to bring in a new vehicle.
I told them my story about how I was a comic n stuff.
The wonderful woman working at the counter (Lisa) told one of the mechanics (Dary) that there was time to take a look at my van right between pulling in the next vehicle.
Dary turned out to be a part time overlander with a really sweet Nissan Xterra.
One of the owners (Kieth) worked hands on with Dary to squeeze me in with the other vehicles they were already working on in their already crowded shop to to fix the braking issue, the was potentially dangerous had I not gotten it repaired immediately, the shoes were paper thin on the rear drum breaks, it had just started to leak fluid, but the lines were rusted and brittle. All day they took turns paying what felt to be honest, caring and special attention to my situation.
I chose a lifestyle of living in my vehicle to chase a dream. Crowell Bros. is helping me to continue on that path safely.
I wish I could give them six stars. read more
