928 Emergency Road Help List - 928roadhelp@charter.net
In mid August, we discussed the idea of a emergency road help list for 928 owners.
I am maintaining and distributing a email list at 928roadhelp@charter.net
This list has the contact information of those people willing to lend assistance to 928 owners who may have roadside emergencies, especially away from home. The list is growing daily. To get a copy of the list, you must be willing to add your information to the list. Bear in mind that willingness to help may be as simple as receiving a phone call from a stranded 928 owner and providing local yellow-pages assistance and making a few local calls on their behalf. You may know a local shop or towing company who can be called, or you my be willing to go out and help the stranded owner. On the flip side, if you are a driver who breaks down away from home, having someone local you can call for help can be a valuable tool. Requiring people to be on the list to get the list is only fair. You are as likely to be called as you are likely to have to call someone else. I doubt the phone will be ringing off the hook.
The list has name, location and contact information along with a resources/comments section. The resources/comments section is where you can list how you can help, along with instructions, like "no calls after 10PM", "have tools" "can point you to a good local mechanic" or "social calls OK", etc.
The contact information of the "big three" vendors will appear if they choose to participate and send their information, although they will not receive a copy of the list
This list is updated regularly and sent via email in a .pdf format for easy printing and is to be left in the car.
To participate, send:
name, city, state, (street address not needed).
contact phone numbers
your general proximity to major interstates or large cities.
coments/resources/restricitons on when to call, etc.
Your information will be added and a copy of the list will be sent to you. Updated lists will arrive as new contacts are added. If you need to update your information, send the changes and it will be done.
Thanks to those who have participated. I hope your list is printed and in your car for that unexpected roadside emergency.
