HELP needed in Salt Lake

These guys fixed the hub. 5 miles out the brand new belt broke and tore the nipple off the radiator. They towed it back and said the alternator was bad (if you spin it it makes a noise, no binding), then I noticed the tensioner was sticking out from the engine.
Anyone live near Richard and Freemont in Downtown SL mind if I use their driveway for 30 minutes?

I got a tensioner and a radiator and another new belt, I just need someone to help me get my truck out of their lot so I can put them on, They're just off Main and Richard in Salt Lake. I'd let them do it, but I'm concerned, I've had the tensioner trick pulled on me before by a shop and I'd rather do it myself, I have the tools etc.

I'm just about to head out to a family get together. I'm on the outskirts of Salt Lake. I really couldn't help wrench but is there anything else I could help with.

It would be Tuesday also, since I have to wait for the radiator and drive the 650 miles back in my rental, anyone who can help I put my cell number on my profile.

Can't really help you with the tow truck. I'm going to be heading out soon. If you have no other alternative you could have it towed to my house and work on it there. I'm guessing it's 20 miles from your location.

I usually call AAA. I know Kearns towing has been good in the past. Let me dig up there #.

Local SLC, UT 801-886-9202 - or - 1-800-241-4491 Toll Free. I think they still have a regular tow service.

Oh boy! You and me both. I'm still in the doghouse for the chip, intercooler, turbo, clutch. Not to mention the audio system I plan on installing next month (she doesn't know about that one yet).
