From watching this list for the ~ last fifteen years, MoMa has gone
through a few changes. Until about 2004-5, they had a great reputation
for quick service and good work for all, and after 2004-5, there were a
number of people who had tried to engage their services and found that
they were put off by MoMa because the owners said they were going to
strictly concentrate on high-end (read Jag) customers. Dave's
experience suggests that the high-end business has dropped off, and all
are welcome once again.
Bad experiences in the recent past might deter people, but, it seems
MoMa is now back to its usual universally good service. I wouldn't kick
`em in the ass for a temporary belief that the Hollywood elite were
going to carry them. There are too few enough good gauge rebuilders
around these days (now that Nisonger seems to be crap on wheels) that I
would want to piss on one more because it made a marketing mistake....
Cheers.
