Paul was the only mechanic willing & excited to service my Lancia in 1978 and continued to be the most patient, honest, trustworthy mechanic...and most importantly, gracious friend. He would always put you at ease while making time to answer what might have been mundane questions. I am sure many patrons remember Paul always ending a conversation with "very good" whether in person or on the phone. What could be a better comment to hear! Fortunately Paul Jr. continues in his father's footsteps. I will miss Paul while fondly remembering the nuances that made him such a special man.

Paul was my car mechanic for many many years and became a friend. I applaud his caring and honesty when the bill arrived. When I started bringing my car there he was teamed with Hubert who was also a great guy. He will be greatly missed.
