A Cheap Detour
Yesterday we headed to Danny's in Copala for lunch and of course, their Famous Coconut Banana Cream Pie. However, we encountered a detour first, luckily it was A Cheap Detour~
But before we headed into the mountains (thank goodness) the front brake started smoking. Alright..... let me clarify...thank goodness it happened before we got into the mountains as after Copala - we were headed down, down, down to Panuco~
I will share more on Panuco in my next blogs - as this blog is about the great customer service and skilled mechanic in Villa Union!
You never really know what is going to happen at ANY mechanics..ANY where in the world - But it just happen to be the most knowledgeable mechanic I think I have dealt with here in Mexico and inexpensive!
His name is Beto, his family has been mechanic "ing" for generations - he rents out "Sanchez's shop" on the south side of the main road through Villa Union. The building is two story and is two toned blue.
He will also come to the isla to do work...not that we do not have a great mechanic here...I think Beto, may have a bit more experience though.
It took a few hours of work, and the parts - al for a grand total of 400 pesos! Yes, under $40.00!! A Cheap Detour indeed ~
Here the family is chilling (or trying to..it is still warm here!)

Good deal and even better to have another mechanico nearby. So glad it happened before you left the main road. How was the pie?
