One of the biggest challenges of relocating to a new area is finding a good, reputable auto repair shop. Murphy’s Law almost always guarantees that whenever you move to a new area, your car will start to act up. There are few things worse in life than having your car breakdown in a new town and not have the slightest clue where to take it.

If you have recently relocated to the Kitsap Peninsula in scenic Washington State, then you are most fortunate. Not only is Kitsap County WA a great place to live, but we also have one of the best auto repair shops right in our own backyard!

Town & Country Auto Repair, located in Bremerton WA right off of Hwy. 3 on Chico Way, has  been a welcomed Godsend to our family. When we moved to Silverdale WA, our kids were much younger and we only had one car – the consumate Soccer Mom vehicle – the Dodge Caravan. Now, as our kids have grown older, we have added 4 other cars to our collection! Several of them are very basic junkers - ”Point-A to Point-B,” high miles used cars (Two of which were thankfully donated by friends or family). Of course, the more cars you own, the greater your chances of needing repairs, especially for the ones held together by rust.

Without reservation, I highly recommend the expert mechanics at Town & Country Auto Repair, and for the following important reasons:

These guys are like the “Boy Scouts of Auto Repair!”

They’re Trustworthy – they always do what they say they’re going to do and “when” they say they’ll do it!

They’re Helpful – each one of their technicians has been professionally trained and certified. Several of them are specialists for various systems or vehicle makes. They are able to troubleshoot even the most challenging problems quickly.

They’re Friendly - you feel like you’re one of the family. They actually make you feel like you’re the most important customer they have!

They’re Thrifty - here’s an amazing concept: they’ll only do the work that is needed or necessary! They’ll give you options, but they never sacrifice on safety related issues. They don’t gouge their customers, but provide excellent work at a very reasonable price!

Okay, so they’re not Clean, but what would you expect from guys who crawl under cars all day!

So if your car or truck needs work, from a major engine or transmission overhaul, to a simple oil change, check out the boys at:

One of the challenges of relocating to a new area is finding the best places for Christmas Trees. While some have elected to join the “Save the Trees!” bandwagon, and go the seemingly more convenient fake ‘Tree-in-a-Box’ route, I continue to refuse to buckle under such pressure. Living in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, surrounded by towering Cedars and Pines, my home will be graced by a ‘real’ tree, thank you very much!

For the past several years, we’ve heartily (and financially) supported Hubert’s Christmas Tree Farm on Seabeck Hwy. in rural Bremerton.

While somewhat pricey compared to other area tree farms, the quality & selection of trees is unsurpassed. Their kind, friendly staff make our yearly tradition a fun and enjoyable family experience.

For approx. $40 – $50, you can find the perfectly formed 6ft. to 8ft. tree to help adorn your abode with the festive Holiday spirit. After you’ve cut-down (they can provide a draw saw) your prized evergreen, you’ll want to stop by the ‘Noble House’ where you can use the ‘Tree Shaker’ or curl up to the warm stove, enjoy a cup of hot apple cider, and the panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains to the West.

Hubert’s Noble Ridge Christmas Tree Farm 4635 Seabeck Hwy NW Bremerton, WA 98312 Contact: 360-373-7044 Daily hours of operation: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Open November 28, 2008 thru December 21, 2008
