Sheridan Towing
I was in Sheridan this December visiting the family for Christmas and New Year's...
Anyway I was leaving on Saturday morning and threw the idler pulley off my explorer just past the Ranchester cutoff (exit 9) heading north... well I call my dad to have him call me a tow truck... He called Ted's Towing and when Ted himself gets out to me he starts calling around to see if a shop is open... well apparently on Saturday there isn't a shop open in Sheridan (even Freemont Ford service and parts was closed... WTF??) Not wanting to stay until Monday I asked Ted if he knew of anyone that could fix it for me.. he then offered to tow it back to his shop/house to get me down the road... Great!
Next we need the new pulley Valley Motor Supply... wrong one in stock; O'Rileys... out of stock; NAPA... they have the grooved one but I need the smmoth one ...
So we buy just the bearing for my pulley and go to put it one... after pressing the new bearing in Ted goes to install it only to find that by bolt is striped... and of course its metric
I call around no one has it... but the NAPA can get it on Tuesday from Billings... 
Ted then goes and pulls the bolt out one of HIS truck's 302 so that i can get going...
This took almost 5 hrs but i got to leave on saturday and i was only charged $144... 114 for the tow and 30 for the repair!!
Sorry this was a little on the long side... but if you are in Sheridan or passing through and need a tow i highly recommend Ted's Towing.
Of course, we see more of that here in Wyoming than anywhere else!
And yep, Sheridan runs on really old people time, almost every store closes when you get off of work... I'm not sure when they plan on people to shop that work, lol.
