Having been in Fond du Lac for a number of years before moving to Milwaukee last September I had forgotten how inconvenient moving is. Aside from the obvious hassle of finding a new place, packing and hauling everything, calling utilities, etc. I now realize the little things that I took for granted; a good barber, a favorite ice cream place, and a mechanic that I have known since grade school.
I just bought a 2000 VW Gulf and thought taking it to the dealer for service would be a good idea (ok stop laughing, it made sense for a minute.) I was given a ridiculously high quote for some minor suspension repairs. At this point I remembered Tony and Mobile Car Care. Tony repaired my car after someone attempted to steal it last fall. He gave me good service and a fair price. So I took the VW to Mobile. Tony put in 2 new struts, plates and a new axle for less than the dealer quoted for a strut plate and CV boot . He also gave me a ride home, picked me up and made sure I was on the road in time for work. So this is where I insert a plug for Tony and Mobile Car Care. If you live in or near Riverwest I highly recommend Mobile.
Finding a good mechanic makes me feel like I am starting to put down roots in Milwaukee. Now if I could just find a good barber I'll really be feeling at home.

I dislike barbers because the one time I went to one he was really rough on me and hurt my head. Like, really.
If you go to places like GreatClips and Cost Cutters then more often than not you get people who weren't good enough to get work at nicer places.
Nicer places are too expensive. So you have to find a friend who goes to beautician school or who works at some nice place and get them to do it for cheap or free. That's what I do anyway.
So go start making nice with the stylists.
