I am currently at college in Tucson, but I will give my parents house in Phoenix. Not too much in the way of tools, but food aplenty, probably a room to stay (might need a call to me to straighten out) small garage, a volvo station wagon. Not too much towing, but can haul parts, water, and know a decent all around mechanic and a british guy too, both pretty close. I will probably use the list more than they use me, but at least I am someone in AZ you can call.
