From El Calafate to Rio Gallegos there are 262 kilometers, your best bet by far. If you can't find help there, I have a mecanic already contacted in Punta Arenas who said he should be able to fix your car of refer you locally to somebody who can.
For the just curious, the picture is a Map of where John Reid was yesterday and where he wants to go. If you want the big picture, thats the southermost portion of South America, about 2000 kilometers South of where I am...
