Going up to the cabin on a Friday night and our Dodge Truck fuel lift pump decided to retire leaving my wife and I stranded in willow river Mn. A man stopped (Mn Nice) to see if he could help and we both knew it was a Fuel issue. He told us that his brother owned Barnum Auto and he would call him to see if there was an EZ fix (Fuze or Relay) to get the truck on the road.Turns out I needed a new Lift Pump and that was a part that would have to be found when the auto parts stores opened in the morning. Turned out that Barnum Auto also Tows & Repairs Autos, So I called my Insurance Company to see if Barnum Auto was on my road side towing plan and He was! Had the Truck towed to his repair shop and his brother gave us a ride with all of our belongings to a friends home 45 miles away to borrow his truck so we could spend the night at our cabin in Floodwood Mn. Called Barnum Auto the next morning and was told that the truck would be fixed soon! So we drove back 57 Miles to Barnum Auto and there they were under the hood finishing up the repair..I checked auto parts stores on the price of the lift pump to get an idea what the damage $$$ would be, and it was shocking what a plastic New pump cost for this truck.The owner of Barnum Auto (Terry) did the repair and I was ready to pay the bill.. I could not believe the price, It was a little more then auto parts store wanted for the pump its self.. These are some Great People and I would trust them for any Auto Repair or Towing job! I have heard stories for years about the Rip-Off repair shops that really like to give it to you when they can,,, Not Barnum Auto, They are as HONEST as they come! Thank You Terry!!
