CostCo Larry Has Big Trailer!!!
Larry Aarhus, Santa Rosalia, now has a humungous double axle trailer and can bring down large items he previously could not handle, like
refrigerators.
Larry usually goes up to San Diego around the first of every month so, If you have a need for such service, you can contact him at
costcolarry@yahoo.com.
Each item will be treated separately so just let him know what you need.
I forgot to put his phone number (615) 152-3130 at his store.

There is also a Costco in Cabo San Lucas that carries refrigerators and other large items. They have a tire shop from which I purchased a pair of
BFG's for my boat trailer last year for less than $50 each. Last week I took the tires in to have them reversed on the rims for uneven wear. I did
not have the receipt, but they reversed the tires for 61 pesos. My suggestion is to forget about "Costco Larry' and the San Diego Costco. Go on down
to Cabo and get your own refrigerator. The hotdogs alone make the trip worth while.

Thats kinda cruel to just say forget about "Costco Larry" don't you think. This man serves a very necessary function in this area. Not all of us are
close to CostCo in Los Cabos.
Enjoy your trip down!!

Larrys little store is just south of the Pemex station on the southern outskirts of Santa Rosalia. It also serves as a gymnasium because he has a TON
of workout equipment in there for people trying to work out.
I believe he will bring articles as far south as Santa Rosalia, it is then up to the person wanting the article to get it from
there to its final destination.
Larry also says that the trailer is big enough to bring a small car in if needed. So whatever fits I guess is the answer to what can he bring.

CostCo Larry provides a real service for the people of St. Rosalia and Muleg?. He makes a living and we get the products that we want.
Shop and buy local.

I was wondering what happened to him. When I went to his old shop I found an auto parts store. Glad he is still in business. Could someone be a
little more specific as to where he is now.

But does Larry have hotdogs?
The prices on tires at the Costco in Cabo were surprisingly good.
Costco was supposed to open an outlet in La Paz this year, but I haven't heard anything about it recently.

Judy, he is in the same set of buildings as before, just a little closer to the Pemex station. Look for the building that says 'Gimnasio' and you got
him!!

Talked to Larry today. Actually about the trailer. Apparently the trailer has Texas plates with expired tags. He got pulled over on his last trip
because whoever he bought the trailer from didn't give him the pink slip for it. I don't know who he bought it from, but if your out there, he would
like to talk to you. He didn't seem very happy.

More about CostcoLarry's services-
As a fulltime resident of Posada Conception, we depend on Larry to bring down our mail the first of every month. and we pay our bills from here online
now. We have a mailbox across the street from the Costco he goes to in Chula Vista, so he picks it up there. This way we get our eBay stuff we buy
as well. And he has picked up things from West Marine and Home Depot for us on a regular basis. He checks his email request list from my mail store
when he arrives (MailMax USA) so you can just send in your wants to -
Costcolarry@yahoo.com . In the two years we have used his services, Larry has not missed once.

For those who need Funiture , try a trip to Guadlahara[, and sourronding area for some excellent buys plus shipping is very cheap across to La Paz
and up to Loreto.
Stay at the La Tapitio.
