Only started using Steve recently since my move, but I know that he cares for a large collection owned by a very particular collector.

All semantics to the OP. You can’t go wrong either way.
Both great. I agree. I think Steve's beyond brilliant and consider him a friend. I've had a permanent spot on his shop floor for my cars for a long time. If you've been there in the past several years, you've seen at least one of my cars.

When I said I wouldn't "compare him to Jones" I wasn't implying anything negative. I just meant that they both have their specialties. I use both Steve and Bob regularly for jobs I don't want to tackle myself and, like all mechanics, they have their likes/dislikes. Steve, as a random example, doesn't particularly like to mess with early carbs. Bob, on the other hand, will spend hours adjusting your Solexes. It pays to get to know your mechanics.

Just different guys but two of the very best in Texas. We're lucky to have them.
