Default Rumor: Toms Diff shutting down
Toms son Zues that was 50% of running the buisness was killed in a motorcycle accident last month

The rumor is that Tom is closing up shop soon and moving to Idaho.

that's a shame that Zues was killed.

I hope Tom doesn't shutter the business because of that.

What I heard was that Tom actually came back to CA from Idaho after Zeus was killed. We'll have to see what happens.

I dealt with Zeus a number of times. Very sad. They are a stand up company.

I dealt with him too quite a number of times. I always enjoyed hearing him call me "dude". I didn't know that he died and am saddened by that.

I have recently replaced all my u-joints thru these guys, and will miss their quick knowledgeable service.
