Yes, I would travel 300 miles to get that sort of service.

It's good to know the work has been approached professionally, done properly and your car has been assessed by somebody who knows what he is doing, and would spot any possible upcoming problems.

I'd travel a long way for peace of mind.

Or for beer.

I have been known to drive 100 miles for dinner... 300 for excellent service at a bargain price by a person who cares for the cars and doesnt just see them as a paycheck?
I would have no issues driving down from Mass to have Tom lay a wrench on my car.
And when its time for the 5 speed Swap... I do believe I shall.
I should probrably schedule some time next summer

We need to find a way to clone Tom (both of them in fact) so we can have them all over the place!
