I think they get forum business because forum members who went there

are too polite to be truthful. I dont have an honest opinion of

their service because so far any thing I cant fix RobR and CurtS did

the repair for beer. I did notice that the whole organization is set

up in mini corporate names and they make it a point to let you know

that. Therefor you dont benifit from the great resource the Custom

Coach builders (what ever name they use) have.



I will be around on Monday after an early demolition job if you need

help running parts or the like. (I dont drink beer, just diet pepsi)

DeAnza will steer you local and right.
