Broken down on side of HWH 71 in Ohio

I was heading home from a trip out west with my wife and 10 year old GS and just got off rt 30 and started to enter hwy71 when I hit a bump in the road and my left front end let go. Called progressive and they are towing me to a safe place for tonight. Does anyone know of a chassis shop in Mansfield Ohio that can repair a P-30 front end? It is almost 7 pm so I know that the shops will be closed now, but hoping one to be open tomorrow.

    I seem to remember Bear's being north of you a bit, but I believe they did some work on my Kenworth some years ago. Seemed like a good shop. There is a site, that while mostly heavy truck related, can help in these situations. WWW.truckdown.com. Excellent for finding repairs when you have a class A.

    Thanks midnight it is a Chevy chassis. A retired trucker stopped to see if we were ok and mentioned Bears not sure of spelling. Tow truck showed up with too small of a truck after Progressive asked the size and the wt of the MH. A little unnerving for my wife with trucks whizzing by.
