adhered to in the workshop. For problem-solving,

for tuning carbs. he's the best there is. Flies behind a 5-cyl
radial and drives an old Range Rover.
- Dylan Polinger:
- Dylan is our star mechanic. Thoughtful and patient, he values
the fine points of perfectionism. He's been with us some years now
and does brilliantly at the art. He enjoys restoring vintage
turntables in his free time. Drives a Range Rover L322; they also
have an XK8 and a P38a.
- Josh
Custer:
- Mechanic, Josh is doing wonderfully in practicing the trade.
Interested, helpful considerate and concerned, his workmanship is
always in your best interest. This doesn't mean he doesn't have a
sense of humor, as almost always he does. He drives a Disco 1, and
is working on his new XFR; he also has a nice spare D1, and Range
Rover Classic project as well.
Brett

... everything. She offers wonderful customer experience and has an
enthusiasm rare to find in the auto-parts world. She's an excellent
part of our team. Drives a ... reliable, responsible ... Toyota.
As a team we bring the machinist, mechanic, metallurgist, engineer,
parts specialist and management together to fix each thing right. To
help make each repair absolutely correct, we have an array of
European-car tools and hardware to draw from, one which only 40 years in
the business could have grown. We put all our heads together on your
project, with a cooperative spirit not typical in car repair shops. As
a team we bring all of Tucson the highest standard of repair for
entirely reasonable rates. But please, don't come to us looking for for
a cheaper product ...
