Korean War vet recalls horrific battle

BY LAURA NEWELL

NOVEMBER 2013
KNOW AND GO
eterans Day is celebrated every year on Nov. 11, to honor Americas veterans for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. In Folsom, this honor is celebrated with a parade and remembrance ceremony. This years parade theme is Remembering our Korean War Veterans, said Ron Hawn, past commander of Folsom American Legion Post 362. The grand marshal will be 80-year-old retired Army Sgt. Major Charles Linden who has lived in Folsom since the early 1980s. Linden, past commander of the Department of California Military Order of the Purple Heart, has devoted much of his life to serving his country and helping those who were injured while serving. Lindens military career began in December 1948, at the age of 15, when he entered the service with the 101st Airborne Division. He then served with GHQ Guard Company in Tokyo, Japan, from 1949-1952. From 1952-1953, he served with the 40th Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division in Korea. While Linden went on to serve a 26-year career in the military, including serving in Viet Nam and Okinawa, Korea was also where he earned his Purple Heart. Linden said he is honored to be chosen as this years grand marshal in Folsom because the Korean War needs to be remembered. The Korean War is a forgotten war, because no one pays attention to it, Linden said. There are so few WWII veterans still living, so it is important to remember what they have done and give them respect for their service. WWII veterans
What: Folsom Veterans Day Parade Theme: Remembering our Korean War Veterans Start time: 9 a.m., all entries must be in the staging area no later than 8:30 a.m. Start location: Folsom Home Goods parking lot, Blue Ravine Road, Folsom Finish location: Folsom Community Center, 52 Natoma St., Folsom Approximate length of parade: 2 hours, 1.5 miles Veterans Memorial Ceremony: A brief ceremony will be held at the Veterans Memorial in Folsom City Lions Park, immediately following the parade.

Retired Army Sgt. Major Charles Lindens Purple Heart.
The Purple Heart is not a sympathy medal; it is a commemorative medal to that soldier. That soldier is being honored for what happened to him, what he went through and the fact that he then has to live with what he saw everyday from then on.

were very instrumental in the Korean War, but that is frequently not mentioned or remembered. This year Linden will be the only grand marshal at the parade ceremony. I didnt think I would ever be eligible for an honor like this, Linden said. This is a very commemorative honor. When I was wounded, this is still hard to talk about even now, but when I went into battle and was hit, it was the last year of the war. Out of 187 men that went into the battle the day I was wounded, I was one of 11 that survived that day, Linden said. The Purple Heart is not a sympathy medal; it is a commemorative medal to that soldier. That soldier is being honored for what happened to him, what he went through and the fact that he then has to live with what he saw everyday from then on. During that battle, I was hit in the throat. But, after I was hit, I remember sitting off to the side and looking around to see how I could help. We were just getting slaughtered. I was watching some of the other guys; bodies were being thrown around everywhere. I was young, but these guys I was watching were high school age. A jeep came through eventually to get us, and the few of us still alive jumped in and got the hell out of there. I went through the M.A.S.H. hospital, like on the television show. But, the point
of my story is some of these guys looked like they were the same age as me when I entered. Had I been caught earlier for being 15, I would have been sent home and then probably sent back out when I was 18. I would have been in that group of inexperienced guys, and I could have been killed. But I wasnt, they never caught my age. Hawn said its through his dedication to his country and his continued work with the Military Order of the Purple Heart, he was chosen to be this years grand marshal. He represents the Korean War veterans in Folsom, Hawn said. He has bravery under fire, continued work with the Military Order of the Purple Heart and he retired with 26 years of service. He has taken his experiences and continued to honor all veterans from all wars.
After his years of experience, Linden said he wants to make sure todays younger veterans have support support every young solider needs to deal with what they saw and what they did in battle. Veterans of military services and their families should join a veterans organization, Linden said. Military Order of the Purple Heart is very secular in that you have to be wounded. But there are more groups out there. Ive listened to a lot of service men directly out of service, and they often repeat the same stories and thoughts we said years ago directly out of service. Its important to have support. So I would suggest talking to a service officer to find support.

Fundraiser shooting for miracles

BY LAURA NEWELL
ENTERTAINMENT
he 5th Annual Celebration of Miracles fundraiser event will return to Folsom this month to help raise money for families in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Mercy and Sutter hospitals. Elanie and Tim Purkis, of Folsom, founded Friends of NICU in 2007 after having twins who spent many weeks in the Mercy San Juan NICU the previous year. We felt so strongly about the highly skilled and loving care for our babies that we decided to give back and pass along the goodwill to other families, said Tim. Our goal for the Celebration of Miracles remains the same: to give gas cards to families in need so they can spend more time with their sick babies in Sacramento area NICUs. We also have a motor home available to families who need it. Elanie said she is happy to announce they added a second trailer this year. We have purchased a trailer to stay in the Mercy San Juan hospital grounds, Elanie said. The need for more than one trailer was there. So now that we can offer more than one trailer, we can allow more than one family the opportunity to stay near the hospital and spend more time with their babies staying in the NICU. According to Jennifer Harrison, publicity chair for Friends of NICU, the motorhome has been in continuous use at Mercy San Juan since it was placed

parents do much better in the NICU. The sooner and more often that mom and dad hold their babies, the sooner they go home and the healthier they are. It is a simple and effective mission. Along with the trailer, Friends of the NICU also provides gas cards to families with babies recovering in the NICU. When you have a baby in the hospital, it is nearly impossible to hold your life together. Friends of NICU helps those families who are in the most difficult of situations, they are financially strapped and facing the fear and uncertainty of having a baby in the NICU, said Harrison. We reach out to families in the most desperate situations and provide help to them immediately. The Celebration of Miracles is our primary fundraiser. The money we raise at the Celebration of Miracles goes directly toward helping mothers and fathers spend more time with their premature babies in the NICU. We give them gas cards if they can drive to the hospital. If they need a place to stay, we have a motorhome and a second trailer at the hospital where they can spend the night or weeks to come. My own daughter was in the NICU for 90 days. For families who live a long way away or have a critical baby like mine, it is a huge blessing to be right there all of the time. The fifth annual Celebration of Miracles will include musical entertainment, dinner, wine tasting from area wineries and a silent and live auction. For more information and tickets, call (916) 276-0373 or email purkis@friendsofnicu.org.

oin the Twin Lakes Food Bank for their 27th annual Light up the Night dinner auction to help raise money for locals in need. Lets come together as a community to celebrate 27 years of making a difference in our local communities, said Tammy Thompson, Twin Lakes Food Bank executive director. This will be a great evening of terrific food, fellowship and some outstanding bargains. The Twin Lakes Food Bank provides seven days worth of groceries to families in need, along with fresh produce and
fresh dairy. They also provide clothing and basic living necessities to those who use their services. The food bank supports families in need in the Folsom, Orangevale, El Dorado Hills and Granite Bay communities. This year the food bank served 46,440 people, compared to last year,
serving 42,325, Thompson said. I believe the rise in use is because the senior citizens in our communities are learning about our services and are using us more, she said. I think seniors are dealing with higher rent prices associated with their cost of living, as well as higher costs of prescription medicines. So, seniors are in need of more help for the basic necessities of everyday life. The dinner auction starts at 5:30 p.m., at Oak Hills Auditorium, 1100 Blue Ravine in Folsom.

Whether theyre rooting for your team or not, fun people are the heart of a good tailgate party

Tailgate party perfection

BY MATT LONG
DOUG GULER
y November, the NFL regular season is beginning to wind down as the postseason nears. College football inches closer to bowl games and the high school playoffs begin. Its the time of year football fans focus in on their favorite sport, celebrating everything it has to offer, including tailgate parties and enjoying the contest with friends and other fans. While the game is the main attraction, tailgate parties and watching the games with others adds to the festive atmosphere. For one Folsom family with season tickets the San Francisco 49er home games, tailgating parties are as much of the experience as the games. Jeret Arnaz and his family have had season tickets for 15 years and they make 49er home games an event. My dad lives in San Jose and he brings his motor home and the food and I bring the drinks, Arnaz said. To have a good tailgate party, you need good people, TVs, music and speakers, an easy up and chairs and good food and drink. The Arnaz family motor home is well-equipped to handle the tailgating duties. Arnaz also brings a trailer that includes a grill. There are several TVs both inside and outside the RV
Good food is a must at any tailgate party.

as well. When Arnaz isnt tailgating at a game, hes watching the games on television. Football is a priority at our house, Arnaz said. We call it Sunday Fun Day. If we dont have people over at our place, we will got to a buddys house or go to the Purple Place or somewhere else. Joe Duran of Folsom is a big football fan who makes watching football an event. Im one of those guys who look forward to Sunday, Duran said. I dont like to watch games by myself. I usually go to Folsom Lake Bowl. I like hanging out with friends who like the same team or even those who like another team because its fun to
give them a hard time too. Durans wife, Melanie, also enjoys the camaraderie that comes with watching football. Shes not into football as much, but its a good opportunity for the wives to get together and not talk football. Curt Crandall, who has a son on Folsom Highs varsity team, has brought tailgating to the high school games. In September, when the Bulldogs traveled to Danville to face San Ramon Valley, Crandall took his family to the game in his motor home and held a tailgate party prior to the game with other Folsom fans. We got there about three hours before the game and set up the barbecue and got the kielbasa, hot dogs and hamburgers and chicken and steak going, Crandall said. We also had some finger foods, salads and chips and dips. The last three years, Folsom Highs football team has reached the SacJoaquin Section championship game played at Sac State and its proved to be the biggest tailgating game of the season. There are three or four RVs there and we get there about five hours before the game, Crandall said. Weve got a TV to watch college football and we string lights and have our Bulldog flags out. Its a blast.

The wine served at Thanksgiving is just as much a part of the traditional feast as the food, but the struggle comes with finding the right libation to serve with the medley of flavors - a problem easily remedied by a quick trip to the Sierra Foothills. Thanksgiving poses lots of challenges for wine pairing, particularly because theres a lot going on with Thanksgiving, said Thomas Allan, of Taste Restaurant in Plymouth. Allan is a Level 2 Certified Sommelier from the Court of Masters Sommeliers, and co-manager of the wine and beer program at Taste. There are many components to a Thanksgiving meal, and its also not done in courses, Allan said. So youre not pairing something with the appetizer, something with the intermezzo course, something with the entre. It happens very much all at once. You

have very large plates and lots of things to put on it. You have to get an essence of what the whole meal is like. When the one course consists of turkey with gravy, stuffing with sage, yams with orange zest and other rich, fall flavors, Allan recommends something on the lighter, drier side. You want to have both white and red available for people, he said.
Chardonnays work nicely because they are full bodied and have that oak essence. In red wines, Pinot Noir is probably one of your better go-tos. As youre moving through the scale of lighter wines, Sangiovese comes to mind, and we have a lot of great Sangiovese out here. Vino Noceto is definitely top of the heap for Sangioveses. Vino Noceto was the pioneer for Sangiovese in the Shenandoah Valley, starting in the 1980s. What makes Sangiovese perfect for Thanksgiving is its high-acid content and floral bouquet. There has been a renaissance or resurgence of Sangiovese, particularly

The traditional turkey spends hours in an oven, heating up the kitchen in the process. For my family gatherings, the turkey is smoked, leaving the oven free for other uses. I have a small, easy-to-use Brinkmann Charcoal Smoke and Grill (usually around $50). There is also an electric version, but I am a diehard when it comes to my grilling. about 8-12 hours to smoke (35-45 minutes per pound). If you are only shooting for the smoke flavor, keep the bird in the smoker for three hours, then finish off in the kitchen oven. Do not put stuffing in the bird.

pounds peeled cubed sweet potatoes until tender; drain. Heat half-cup half-and-half and quarter-cup butter in a glass measuring cup in the microwave for one minute. Mash into potatoes. Stir in 2 ounces goat cheese. Toast half-cup pistachios with butter and salt in a skillet. Sprinkle pistachios, additional goat cheese and fresh sage over potatoes. ~ Joel Gordiejew
1. Get your choarcoal going and add to the pan in

the Brinkmann.
5. Keep the temperature to 230250 degrees.

If your smoker doesnt have degrees (mine doesnt), keep in high half of ideal. 6. The bird is done when the breast meat reaches 165 degrees and dark meat reaches 180 degrees. If your turkey comes with a pop-up timer, double check the temperature with a standard meat thermometer. ~ Don Chaddock
Directions: In a 4-quart sauce pan on medium heat cook sausage until browm breaking apart with a fork. Remove meat to medium bowl, pour off drippings returning cup to pan. In the drippings over medium heat cook the apples, onions, and celery until celery is tender (approx 10 min). Remove from heat, add sausage meat and remaining ingredients. Stir until well mixed. ~ Joel Gordiejew GRANDMAS PUMPKIN CHARLOTTE DESSERT Directions: In a 2-quart
pan, blend together 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin, 2/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup rum, 4 egg yolks, and cup firmly packed brown sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until mixture forms a soft custard; remove from heat. Stir in 1 can (1 pound) pumpkin; 1 teaspoons ground cin-
2. Fill the water pan with

water or add apple juice or another liquid youd like to use to help impart flavor. I dont fill mine with water, but instead use high quality sand. The water pans purpose is to regular temperature inside the smoker. If you use water, re-fill it every two hours while adding more charcoal.
3. Place the turkey in the smoker on the lightly
greased bottom grill grate (Brinkmann offers upper and lower grates). If you dont want to discolor the bird (from the smoke), cover with aluminum foil. 4. Keep the lid on during the smoking process. A 12-16 pound turkey should take

Sports theme pub and grill hits a homerun

BY LAURA NEWELL
new family-owned restaurant blends fresh flavors, ice-cold brews and sports paraphernalia, to make Folsoms Buck Shorts Dugout Sports Grill and Pub. Brent Neville, of Folsom, opened the sports grill and pub in May, with his long-time family friend Bill Moyer. Nevilles family helps run the location day-to-day. Twin brother and sister, Jennifer and Richard Neville, both 28, manage the kitchen and bar. Their younger brother, Beau Neville, 26, can be found helping serve Sunday breakfasts. Jennifer explained what makes their sports bar stand out.

Chops Steak, Seafood & Bar

250 Palladio Parkway, Suite 1339 Folsom 95630 Executive chef Christopher Mathew Headding knows the value of patience. When shipments of marbled Midwestern beef arrive at Chops Steak, Seafood & Bar, he doesnt trim them right away. Instead, he and his kitchen team hang the meat, pull up seats, and intently watch for the next 28 days as natural enzymes break down any toughness and flavor density builds. Once the beef hits the perfect color and firmness, Christopher gets up and trims the top sirloin, New York strips, and other cuts of steak by hand. Such attention to detail pervades Chops Steak, Seafood & Bar at both its Folsom and Sacramento locations. Besides the aged steakswhich also include fillets wet aged up to 21 daysChristophers team works with high-quality seafood, such as Chinook salmon, Australian lobster, and Alaskan King Crab. To complement these dishes, bartenders serve a selection of wines and signature cocktails, such as the Saint Bernard with Absolut Ruby Red vodka and freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. These mouth watering selections and more can be found for lunch Monday through Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., or dinner Monday through Sunday 4:00 p.m. to close. Featuring daily seasonal specials and Saturday and Sunday farm to fork menu selections you will always find the highest quality dining experience. Also, check out Happy Hour Monday through Friday 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. With a full happy hour menu featuring some fantastic drink specials, Chops is a great place to unwind.

ain or shine, the seventh annual Turkey Trot 5K walk/run and 10K run will take place on Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 28. The run drew more than 1,000 people the first year, and has been so popular, registration now has to be limited to 4,000 participants, said Todd Drybread, Folsom chiropractor and event organizer. Drybread and lawyer Felix Poggemann originally began the event as an outdoor activity for families to do together, also to assist local Twin Lakes Food Bank help those in need. People think its so prosperous (in Folsom), Drybread said. But you should just talk to the food bank and see how many families theyre helping over the last few years. Tammy Thompson, executive director of the Twin Lakes Food Bank, agreed. Whether its disadvantage, unexpected troubled times, or a family living day to day in need, we
just see all kinds of people coming through daily here at the food bank, Thompson said. The organization does more than simply food dispersal. Their Angels on Wheels program checks in on seniors and disabled and delivers groceries to those who are not able to get out of the house. The back-to-school program in July collects nearly 1,000 backpacks, and the organization provides a birthday party packet to children in need so they can have, among other things, a birthday cake.

mas basket program with the Folsom Police Department, Thompson said. The kids get toys, and for the parents we do a basket for a nice Christmas dinner celebration. Drybread is hoping to get more assistance from the community, companies and schools. Not just monetary, but getting the community more involved in trying to help raise money, food and clothing for the food bank, Drybread said. That would be the next step I would love to see. Jennifer Collins, of Folsom, has participated in all but the first year of the run. Her daughter, Lauren, 13, also joins in, and this year 9-year-old Maren will also run. Jennifers husband, Rick, and their other children, Camden, 11, and Britlyn, 7, will be the cheering section and the welcoming committee. So many people come, its a big event, Collins said. I love just seeing all the people of Folsom out there participating ... and doing it year after year. The Folsom Athletic Association Youth Assistance Fund is also a beneficiary of this years event.

Waddie Mitchell, who felt taken away to far off places by the cowboy stories and songs he heard growing up on a ranch in Jiggs, Nev., looks forward to sharing this oral tradition at the Cowpoke Fall Gathering.

ndian summer days give way to long fall evenings, when the cowboy poets ride into Loomis to share their poems, songs and heartwarming tales. Wanting to serve a slice of Americana to locals, Bert and Carol Braun, former owners of the Cowpoke feed store, cooked up the Cowpoke Fall Gathering, a modern-day, western variety show with equal parts storytelling, poetry and singing. This years star-studded performances on Nov. 8-10 benefit local charities. Some of the countrys best yarn-spinners share their ranching way of life
with a humbleness that makes audience members lean in a little closer at their performances. Saturdays 1 p.m. matinee features cowboy poets Waddie Mitchell and Chris Isaacs and singers Belinda Gail and J. Parson. The handlebar mustaches, weather-crinkled smiles and western drawls are the real deal. Mitchell, from Jiggs, Nev., organized the original cowboy poetry festival in Elko, Nev., which in turn sprouted hundreds of cowboy poetry events across the country. Mitchell, who calls Loomis charming said, I suppose Ive been writing what people call cowboy poetry since we started calling it that. I refused to call it poetry when I started writing
it, said Mitchell, whose rugged looks contrast with his ability to convey lifes sweetness, heartache and awe. We were fairly remote, said Mitchell of the ranch where he was born and raised. We were 62 miles from town 32 of those on a dirt road and 14 miles from the nearest neighbor. We didnt have power, said Mitchell, who was dubbed Waddie by the cowboys on his fathers ranch. It was a great way to grow up. My whole world was around the ranch and the horses and the cowboys and I was immersed in the whole thing. Isaacs is a mule packer from Eagar, Ariz., who turns 70 on his next birthday. He calls cowboy poetry an oral tradition that
goes as far back as there were cowboys. Isaacs rejects Hollywoods portrayal of cowboys as gun-slinging rabble-rousers. The cowboys Ive been around are honest, hardworking, patriotic and love their families, he said. Parson, from Bakersfield, said, My songs are life experiences things Ive done and stories other people have told me. Real life, current day stuff presented in an old time way. Parson, who recently performed with Isaacs at Silver Dollar City, Mo., was discovered and brought to the Loomis Cowpoke Fall Gathering by Bert Braun. I was on a trail ride out of Santa Ynez and I was

The traditional tree-lighting will take place at 6 p.m., across the street from the historic courthouse, and live entertainment and holiday activities will follow, said Lisa Crummett, Placerville Downtown Association marketing director. The annual event is always held the Friday after Thanksgiving, rain or shine, to help kick-off the holiday spirit, Crummett said. In conjunction with the big tree lighting, more than 75 trees, donated by El Dorado County Christmas Tree Growers, also come to light after the countdown.

Muralist Robert S. Lindsey transforms entire rooms

BY CHERISE HENRY
One stroke at a time

rtist Robert S. Lindsey, owner and designer of Better Murals, is widely recognized for his stunning custom artwork, murals, finishes and interior design projects that transform entire rooms into what he calls wholethemed environments, which fuse together various elements of a space including murals, art pieces, lighting and furniture. Roberts work is just fabulous. I have three of his art pieces at my home and he designed my entire office, said client Dr. Monica Crooks. I remember his first big art show and ever since then he is the premier muralist in town. People from all over are completely awe-

struck by his work. Growing up as a teenager in Granite Bay with a mother who worked as a high-end interior designer and a father occupied as a builder and designer, it was only natural for Lindsey to follow suit with the innate creative gene. I didnt realize it at the time how influential my parents creative work would be on my life and what Id end up doing for a living, Lindsey said. Lindsey, 34, recalls his first memory of learning to embrace his artistic

abilities at the age of 7, when he would build his own Ninja Turtles out of coffee cans, bricks and other materials around the house. I was resourceful and would look at toys other kids had and always thought, I could build that, he said. Family and friends admired his natural artistic ability for years, but it wasnt until after a few semesters at Stanford University that Lindsey realized his professional calling as an artist. With a successful art show in Roseville under his belt, Lindsey packed up his college books and decided it was time to pursue the life of an artist and designer, full time. He hasnt turned back. I fully embrace the artist title now, said Lindsey. Im just Robert and I just make stuff. I like to create things and fix them and, yeah, I guess I am an artist. Based in Folsom with an additional studio in Roseville, Better Murals is going on its 10th year in business.

region through photos sent to me and then design and paint a canvas mural based on each store location. Talk about customization. In addition, Lindsey frequently collaborates with interior designers who bring him in for his furniture restoration projects, or to focus on color sculpting a technique of choosing a blend of colors to create a desired emotion or to make a room feel bigger and more open through his mural designs. Ill design a mural directly on a wall and make it look like (the wall) just disappears, he said. Better Murals art pieces typically cost between $1,200 and $3,200 per mural, with complete room transformation projects run in the tens of thousands of dollars. I always end up doing bulk projects, not just one mural, he said. You have to tie a mural into the room and thats where furniture restoration and other creative projects come in. With businesses across the United States and homes all over California reaching out for Lindseys creative talents in hopes of livening up their rooms, the artist spends his days deep in his work scouring through his ongoing creative ideas, sketching out new projects, painting murals and designing restoration projects. In the evenings, he enjoys spending time with his wife and three young children. Lindsey said its extremely important to pull himself out of the creative daily grind of business and spend quality time with his family. Lindsey confesses to having a deep connection with his art pieces and often finds it challenging to let them go after hes completed the project. I love seeing a whole project coming together, he said. The right elements come together around the mural to create this perfect wholethemed environment.

continued from 25 Over the years, Lindsey has worked alongside a business partner and hired several employees, but today is managing the operation as a oneman show. Lindsey hopes to hire an apprentice again when the time is right. All of Lindseys murals and interior design projects are unique and custom-created for each client. I visit the client to learn about them, what kind of art they like and what the goals are with the mural, he said. Whether using Italian plaster imported from Italy to boast an art pieces dramatic texture, or using special muslin fabric for his canvas murals, Lindsey uses his artistic freedom and tal-
ent to ensure each mural matches the client perfectly. For restaurants and business clients, Lindsey studies the niche or alcove in the space to create a perfect art piece based on its surroundings. Ive done a lot of Trader Joes murals in Seattle, Texas and Los Angeles, he said. I get to know the

WINE:
continued from page 12 in the Foothills, said Vino Noceto owner Jim Gullett. Its a fruity wine, at least the way we make it, so it will hold up to a wide range of foods. It clears your palate a little bit between each bite. A lot of conventional wines dont hold up to spicy food. I would say, holidays even through Hanukah or Christmas, you get lots of flavors in the foods, so you want wines that can accompany that but also stand out. More powerful wines - your typical Syrah or Cabernet - end up clashing too much, where Sangiovese accompanies, but also doesnt get lost in the process. Wine drinker Ghenelle Yancey tasted the Sangiovese and other wines

I do all the actual classics, except I tend to go very heavy on the seasonal spices - sage and nutmeg, Yancey said. I did like the Sangiovese - it was very well balanced, but Noceto did have a bright Pinot Grigio that would go well. Allan agrees that other dry whites such as Gewrztraminer and Riesling go well with Thanksgiving, so long as theyre not too sweet, as do sparkling whites. The most important thing to remember is bubbles go with everything, he added. They work great for any kind of holidays and with most kinds of foods, as long as theyre not overly sweet.

What people are saying about Performance Motor Works. . . . .

I took my BMW to Performance Motor Works for the first time recently, and they were great! The BMW dealership had quotes me $15,000 to fix a leak in the engine. Of course I wanted a second option. Performance Motor Works said that there was no leak in the engine, but that I did have a leak in my transmission. The cost to fix was substantially less than the $15K BMW quoted me. I will definitely use them again. I find them to be honest and easy to work with. ~ Sheri N, Roseville, CA
