If you’re wanting to avoid the dealership, go to Cris at Nixa Automotive.

Yeah. Things like oil changes and tires and even brakes I'll do locally, but the 30k and up levels need a dealer to do the transmission and engine, and that's a pain in the ass to drive to Joplin for.

My ex has the Forester model with the shit transmission, and she's had to have it adjusted several times. She's just flat done with Reliable.

I am one of those people. Three sweet, egg laying red hens.

Ugh… we haven’t had anything that bad just incompetence and frustration and also they try to upsell every time eg cabin and engine air filters that aren’t needed and their price to replace them is absurd. Joplin is just so far 😞

I take my outback to A-1 Custom Car Care

Martial Arts USA does BJJ classes, but I don't know if they do no Gi; a Gi is standard for their regular classes and used to be standard for BJJ, but that was quite a while ago, and they have a new instructor since then.

However, they are just south of James River Freeway which is about as far from Bolivar as you can get in Springfield.

That place is in Springfield. I am not aware of any in Bolivar, not that there are for sure none.

Reliable flat out lied to my ex about her and my son's cars. Like an obvious lie (that she needed new brakes and rotors despite the fact she had them inspected and replaced when she got her tires changed just months previous).

She takes hers to Fletcher. I haven't needed anything done to mine yet, but I'll probably go to Fletcher when I do as well.

No worries! I’m glad you actually referred it since I haven’t been to Tong’s in a minute. I’m happy to support other local businesses, the rest of our meal was great just as I remembered.

Ever since Thai Pepper closed. I literally seek the world, every nook and cranny to find that damn Crispy Duck. I love it!! I even went to Ozark and had Orange Duck Breast at The Finley, lol. But Thai Station is closest I found. Nicola’s is a bit pricey but it’s not bad either

Vaancy (because the c fell off)

Dang it! I'm no expert, but when I went I felt Tong's crispy duck was more flavorful, tender and moist than others I've had. I'm bummed you didn't have the same positive experience, but you've inspired me to try some more options around town. I'll definitely put Thailand Station on the list.

I always took my old one to Bob's Automotive on Enterprise Ave.

Ask local restaurants

You could go to literally any mom-and-pop restaurant and they'll let you have them. The employees would be grateful they don't have to take out boxes.

"Boneless beds now available!"

Mama Jeans will hold boxes for you.

Ahoytel Matey!

“Closed. Thanks to the mega-motel chain you’re taking that picture from.”

All fun and games until the Snakes come back.

Fletcher Subaru in Joplin. Reliable is ass

I have vouchers and we've found the play room on 8 so she's having a blast right now.
