Hey all,

I'm considering buying a truck out of Madison, but don't live locally. I'm hoping to find a mechanic in the area that will do a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Anyone have a recommendation?

On a related note, my biggest concern is frame rust due to salt on the roads. Can anyone speak to how common a problem this is here, or specific areas on the vehicle to look out for? I live in the dessert, so I've never really had to consider this issue.

Cheers,
