Came down in January via auto train with my 14 year old VW Beetle. We were lucky to have made it.

I kept putting the car on the back burner what with buying a home and all the rest that was going on.

Well we broke down with a boat load of groceries one day just after moving in.

Some very good Villagers took the groceries and my wife home while I got a tow to Tire Choice (Tri-County was not answering the phone...this was Friday before Memorial Day).

They took it right in gave me a ride home. Had blown the generator.

Three weeks later I broke the starter tumbler and they took me right in again.

Billy Wheeler there at Colony is my mechanic from now on...that's my experience.
