Thanks to each of you who wrote of your personal experiences with Tom and Darla Griffith and their Airstream repair facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It is my opinion that a business owner can not buy, at any cost, advertising that is as persuasive as a few independent comments from satisfied customers. On the other hand, bad workmanship and a bad attitude can frequently kill the positive effect of large sums of money spent on advertising. I will call Tom tomorrow morning and make an appointment for my segment replacement. OK City is about 350 miles from home and an Airstream dealer is located less than five miles from my home. Tom should be proud when I tell him I checked out his business reputation on a continent-wide (probably international) list of Airstream enthusiasts and received several very positive statements about his character and workmanship. This experience also reinforces, once again, the tremendous power and benefit to us A/S owners of the two A/S lists. A question has only to be asked. Someone, frequently many, on the list have been there, done that, have personal knowledge and experience from which to answer every question posed.
