My Father, a mechanic, recommended Tom's Automotive to me in 1972 and I've taken a series of cars there ever since. Professional. Thorough. Work done right and guaranteed. I now live on an island. It takes me nearly a whole day to take the ferry, leave the car at Tom's, pick it up later in the day and return on the ferry...and it's worth it. Oh, I've had brief affairs with closer shops but they really haven't meant a thing. Tom's (now owned by Kandy - trust her! ) has been the shop of my life.
