Crownset pass towing or shop?

[GlowBugTDI]

Hey north of cold fellows,

My buddy snapped a control arm up near crownset pass on his way to calgary. Anyone know of shops or tow trucks out that way? He's tried calling alberta motor association numbers and they havent been going through. He has minimal service. Anyone recommend a shop anywhere near there for having it fixed?
Truck is a 2019 silverado.

Unfortunately not! In Calgary area I know a few. Maybe he could try someone in Lethbridge as it’s not too far from the pass.

@Alchemist is in Lethbridge, perhaps he may know someone?

Thank you both! He only had 1 bar of service and couldn't get calls to go through. (Which is why I was trying to help him out) He was thankfully able to locate a truck from nearby (I forget what town) and got it towed to a shop. He got it all fixed up and is on the road again in one day amazingly.

Apparently the upper control arm ball joint sheared/grenaded? Idk but it broke and this happened. New ball joint, alignment, and damage assessment performed and he's on the road.

Good golly that is not the kind of failure I'd like to think about on a mountain highway!
Glad he's got er on the road again.

Wow, a bit late to this one but that is impressive! Glad he got it sorted out.
