| "Who do you go to for...?" It's a question that I'm asked frequently at area car-events. Knowing that I've dealt with people in just about any auto-related field imaginable, folks ask me to recommend area individuals and businesses to help them with their automotive needs. On this page, you'll find some of the products and services around Southern New England which I've found to deliver everything promised...and then some. I have offered a few personal thoughts on each, along with a link directly to the web-site available. Assume that any business on this page is one I both recommend and make use of myself...and remember to let 'em know you found them with Cruisinbruce.Com ! -CruisinBruce |

| Protecting your collector vehicle takes more than wax and a clean rag. Real protection means being sure that all the time & money you've spent will never been in vain. The Sacchetti Agency has covered all 7 of my classic vehicles for quite awhile (you can even check out several of them on Sacchetti's virtual car-cruise section). I was so impressed by the ease of his services, I've since had Richard insure my home and daily drivers--after all, he is a Full Service insurance agency. The Sacchetti Family is a long-time supporter of the local car-event scene, where frequently, you'll see one of Richard's classic Oldsmobiles or his son Peter's Corvette. Supporting the business ventures of my fellow hobbyists? It's always been a main goal for me ! Contact Richard Sacchetti at Sacchetti Insurance |

| Some folks just have a passion for what they do…and when it comes to the automotive business, there’s no one that fits that description like the Tasca Automotive Group. Bob, Sr. began working with the Ford Motor Company back in 1943. Just about a decade later, he opened his first Ford showroom. Now, another 50+ years and 3 generations later..the Tasca family serves southern New England better than ever with the best-stocked parts department in the region, service hours available til midnight on most nights, an on-site performance center..and always at least 1000 new and used vehicles in inventory. You know I’ve been a Ford-lover all my life..and whether you look on the back of my beloved ‘69 Torino GT fastback..or my daily-driver 2002 Explorer, you’ll see the same name. Tasca. Like to know more about Tasca ? Just ask me at any show or cruise night. I know from experience that the Tascas mean it when they say “You Will Be Satisfied.” |

| *Transmissions |
| When you've got transmission problems, you're going nowhere. Literally. As far as I'm concerned, the transmission is one of the most-complicated components in your car. Hey, I've disassembled many vehicles out in my garage over the years..but the one thing I always leave to the professionals is the transmission. Now..as I've said before, I would rather do business with someone "inside" the hobby. That's why I'm glad I met up with Steve Peluso and his crew at the Lee Myles shop a few miles off I-95 in Dedham, MA. Steve is a long-time Pontiac fan..and active member of the Yankee chapter of the Pontiac-Oakland Club Int'l. Transmissions ? There isn't one he doesn't know ! And after 22 years at the helm of his Lee Myles shop..that comes as no surprise. Get in gear and give him a call: 617-327-2120 5201 Washington St, Dedham-W. Roxbury line. |

| Just check out his (good weather) daily driver: a '65 Bonneville convertible. Shifts nice, too ! |
