Steven,

Thank you for the response and where can I find your fathers shop?  I have not
found a shop in CA. of this caliber. My standards of a technician are as high as
your fathers. Therefore I do my own work. But I have dealt with 4 dealers in
CA. from So. Cal. to S.F. and had problems with all 4. This is not how I run my
automotive specialty shop. You see, I don't advertise, and have not for  9 out 10
years of being in business. My shops reputation is my advisement. I'm booked 2
weeks out. That's also why people come from afar to see your father. But do you
really think all, or most other mechanics are as good as he is? I don't think so,
or people would not bother to travel to see him, they would just go to their local
shop.
Please tell me of a Triumph mechanic in my, semi close area, ( within 400mi. )
that is as good as your fathers. I will be there!

Thanks,
Robert, Orcutt CA. 93455 ( Central Coast )
