Route 36 Service & Repair — Local services in Patton

Picked up a boat in Patton, approximately 3 hours away from my home. Within the first couple of minutes towing, one of my brake hoses exploded and incapacitated my truck.

I will also tell other campers about this garage if anyone needs a repair at an...

In an area where there isn't a whole lot of businesses, this one is a life saver. On my way to camp at Prince Gallitzen State Park I got a screw in my tire. I called for roadside assistance but was going to be 2+ hours. So I put the spare in and asked the Park range if there was anything close by, as the next closest city is Altoona and isn't that close by. She suggested this garage and I'm glad she did. The mechanic was friendly and in a place where not much is around I thought he was going to charge way more. Out the door with a plug for less than $20 and he...
