Coalinga shop??

Anyone know of a repair shop in Coalinga that Subie drivers can trust?

I have a customer who has two broken wheel studs, and is stuck in Coalinga. Not too safe to drive on back to the Bay Area.

Any shop can repair broken wheel studs. All you need is a hammer to bang them out and install the replacement studs

Precisely the reason I don't just trust anyone. With that sort of eye for the job, I'd be very adverse to having YOU work on my car. There's a tone ring (ABS sensor) which goes around there, and a miss from a hammer will damage/break it...then where am I?

The other problems:

1. Kid who's stuck doesn't have a BFH with him.
2. Kid who's stuck doesn't have replacement studs with him.
3. Parent (my customer) doesn't want to drive all the way down there to take care of it if he can spend the money getting a local shop down there to do it.

I don't blame him.
