You got it!
I'm down in Forest City, an hour away, for a couple weeks a year. It's very clear to me that nobody there has any idea what they're doing with a car (in fact, most "custom" jobs are lifted 24" chrome rim donks) - plus, most people would rather put money into their trucks (who doesn't have a truck down there?), so if Hickory is anything like that, you're pretty set.
