Funniest sense of humor allowed in a car repair shop... Tom is the best diagnostics guy I have met. Can handle almost all makes of cars from the family Ford to the family Ferrarri (and does). I have sent many people to him who have failed to get help other places and he has helped them out. He has a strong team of mechanics (4) and each has a specialization and the training to back it up. From the first day I met him, he has always offered a 2 tier approach to fixing problems: when a $25 dollar part will fix the problem for a while, he'll tell you. And if I wanted to spend the $2,500 necessary to completely take care of the problem, I could. Tom has taken care of cars for my family for 16 years, always the best service and care. (Ford, BMW, Acura, Volvo, Audi, etc...) We trust him completely.
