Stranded in Indiana

My brother is stranded in Indiana and needs help with an alternator. He was on his way home from N.C. And headed back home to Chicago and the alternator just went out. If any insight on a mechanic in the area of Indianapolis would be great.

Thank you

Google MINI repair in the area will give you a better result.

He's about 30 miles east of Indpls. I talked to him and will help if he still needs it after 2:00. He has the alternator coming and thinks he has enough tools. I'm at work but can bring tools after 2:00.
