I'm a huge fan of Heaton Tire. We just moved out of the Basin, but for the entire 12 years we lived…read morein Vernal, Heaton was the only place we took our vehicles for tires and tire-related service. They are competent technicians and their tire and service prices are fair and reasonable. They did not charge for tire rotations and often not for simply flat repairs. They completed work in a timely manner and were honest, pleasant, and informative when discussing the issues. I prefer to support family-owned business when possible, so I appreciated it was a father-sons enterprise. I highly recommend them and wouldn't take my tire-related business anywhere else in Vernal.

Over the last few years I've taken my truck and my wife's Jeep to Heaton for snow tires, and just…read moretoday got new brake pads all around for my truck and it was $650 cheaper than I was quoted from Downtown Auto for the same OEM pads. They did a great job. Giving credit where it's due. Heaton is just a good move.

Can't say anything about the food didn't get any. Anyway the coffee at my hotel was undrinkable so…read moreI hit Black Sheep on my way to work. First I loved the vibe. Kind of industrial and blue collar like the town itself. The barista was very friendly. And the service was quick. The coffee was good and also tried a chai. It could have used a tiny bit more spice but still good nonetheless. If you are in town stop by and get a brew or two. Next time I will try some food

I mean, when they bill themselves as a "lunch counter soda fountain gift shop" you just have to go…read more Because that's exactly what they are. Soda fountain. Lunch counter. Gift shop. All of those things mixed together and twisted and pulled into a sweet singular strand of small town taffy. We bellied up to the bar later than we had hoped, in mid-afternoon. We met the current manager who explained the history of the spot, and while it's a little spotty, they've been around a long time in one form or another. She was related somehow to the original owner and it's passed through generations of families. There are strange gifts, new gifts, a lunch counter, booths, and a small menu board. We came in post-hike and got burgers because of course you get burgers. I can sum up the vibe of the food and the whole experience thusly: ME: "Wow, this tomato looks like it came from the garden." HER: "Ya, we get them from a guy who grows them for us. He's actually my old history teacher." Local, small, quirky, but very very delicious. Simple. I'm off shakes but by dining partner got one and it filled the cavity well. You have to stop in here when in Roosevelt. It's small town history teacher tomato good.

Grateful for Gunner's help. Our UHaul broke down outside Vernal. We had to be towed to Heber City…read moreto pick up the replacement UHaul--more than 100 miles. Gunner knows his stuff, was kind, considerate, got the job done, and was fun to talk to for the 2 hours or so we were all jammed into his cab. He even helped us transfer our stuff to the new UHaul, getting us on our way that much sooner. Super nice guy, deserves a shout out!

Janice, Guy and Gunner were great to work with. I was stranded in the middle of no where and they…read morewere able to tow me within the hour of the request. It was also a holiday and they stayed after their opening hours for me. With that said, they knew I was distressed about money and were able to recycle parts. My car was ready within 3 days, we shook hands, we shared stories and they were incredibly personable. I hope people keep in mind how rare it is to have a family owned business and to still be graceful in stressful situations. Lastly, it is in the middle of nature and limited resources, it is hard to get things in a timely fashion. Honestly, I was excited to get cold water in this town. Thank you folks for being warm in a hard times and getting me back home safely.
