Hello all

The OTR Assist List has been a little outdated for a while; we've had some members pass, many members move, and a decent amount of new members. We are gonna try and fix this and keep it updated.
The existing list has been imported. We won’t be updating any information except by the person with the screen name, so if you know that someone moved and want to make sure their information is updated unfortunately we’re going to wait for them to touch base and then we’ll update their info.

If you see a red balloon, that's from the old table. Use that information at your own risk. If you see a green balloon that’s updated information and you’re good to use it.

If you want to reach out to me to get your info updated please email me at [email protected] with the title “GRM On The Road Assist List Update” so that I can find the email and I’ll check in with you later. Later on we’ll add a couple other people to update the member list, maybe moderator staff and admin, maybe someone else will volunteer. Who knows?


 

Info we need for updates:
Member name
Address (this can just be what city, GPS location, zipcode, etc)
Description of shop, abilities, etc.
Optional: contact info you’re comfortable sharing.

This is publicly available information, so please only pass on information you’re comfortable sharing.

I’d like to hear thoughts about whether we should add trusted shops to this list as well, as sometimes a member may not be able to help but may know a good local mechanic.

 

New Map

EDIT: I'm trying to post the map below, I don't know if its showing up.  If you can see it please holler.  

EDIT THE 2ND: If you have changed your username, please tell me what you would have been under previously. If you plan to change your username in the future, please remember and check in

EDIT THE 3RD:   I'm leaning towards adding local shops.  Likely will add a yellow marker (or some other color, as best decided by feedback)
Does anyone have objections to the below?

Info needed:
Type of shop
Name of shop
Address
Contact
Member(s) with experience with them, and how that experience went

I'd say yes to the trusted shop inclusion. 
 

if someone is stuck that could be beneficial

My info is the same, so you could turn my red balloon to green

Also, Id like to add that a local shop, the owner lives in my neighborhood and has done work on my daily, landcruiser and mr2. Great guy into cool cars - happy to help folks. Even on 'off days'

And there's a fox body enthusiast caddy-corner to me, too.
