"Just had some work done on my car here and needed a shop that worked on Euro cars. Was dreading having to make the long drive towards St. Louis and found Tom's in CoMo. I met four of the staff and everyone was personable and helpful. They kept me updated and got my car in and out in a reasonable time frame. 5 stars"
