Default a class act

I spent two days at the RPM Transmission shop in Nowhere, Indiana last week having the A4 transmission, rear differential and torque converter replaced in my car.
Rodney and his crew - Todd and Wes - are a definite class act.
These guys know their stuff and are very conscientious, they even repaired several things wrong with my car that were the aftereffects of work done previously by other less competent shops. This was time consuming and cost them money in parts but I was not charged, Rodney's philosophy is a car wouldn't leave his shop less than perfect regardless of how it came in there.
Everyone needs to eat lunch at least once at the Dog House bar and grill.
Can't wait until the local dragstrip opens this spring to see what e.t. difference the new parts will produce.
