Plumber :  We found one plumber in Los Barriles who now owns an ELECTRIC
Auger.  This is the only way to cut through the roots that get in through tiny cracks in your pipes. Jose Carlos Lucero  624-129-6307  He  is prompt and competent.  We were his first customer to use his brand new auger.

 Driving to La Paz one morning, I stopped for Gas at the Pemex North of Todos Santos. I asked for a magna fill up, I then walked into the OXXO for a few waters leaving three people in the car. As I walked out I noticed the Attendant punching the key board on the pump (First odd move) then when I approached the car to pay him, I noticed the amount on the pump was rather large (we all know about what our cars take, come on guy) and the number was FLASHING! This was the topper of my suspicion as I have never paid a flashing amount on a pump before.
After going to the manager in the office and having him look on his computer for that pump on that day and time (Each attendant has his own pump for his shift and every transaction is recorded in the office) it was confirmed that this is what happened. After the attendant filled my tank he cleared the pump of the proper amount and then pressed in the amount he wanted. Which in this case was 100 peso's more than what he pumped. He then showed me the new amount on the pump which was flashing and said that was what I owed. The only time the pump flashes is when they put in the amount before they pump your gas, it will then flash until the attendant picks up the nozzle and starts pumping the gas. So bottom line never pay a flashing amount on the pump (unless you enjoy getting ripped off). - Identity Withheld By Request
