Great member and mechanic, TomsSVX
Just yesterday i had the opportunity to meet Tom down in Philly. We were doing two rear wheel bearings on my 96 red svx i just bought. My bearings were completely toast in the rear and are now completely quiet.
The work Tom did is second to none, and his attention to detail was impeccable. Tom's a straight up, honest, and an all around great guy. I couldn't be more satisfied. Thanks again!

I second that.
Though I have never met Tom in person, I have spoken to him on the phone, and exchanged emails with him. I paid him to inspect and install a MAF sensor in my 96 Polo I bought in May down in Pennsauken, NJ. From everything I've read and heard about Tom from Philly, he truly sounds like hes second to none. Great to have your expertise and SVX knowledge Tom, its very assuring and comforting to say the least. Hope to meet you one day soon.

Agreed. After YT finished Chris's car, he replaced my timing belt center cover, and then welded up some cracks in my exhaust pipe that arose during my recent offroad explorations at Pocono. Thanks, Tom. Sounds sweet again. See you after my next track day, I'm sure.
Dan
