I've known both for years and I am always torn. I think both of these guys are super folk and they both do great work. In the end, it's up to your preference. Meet them both, ask them questions, then decide. It is all about confidence in your mechanic. In my experience, Colin has always been easier to ask questions of, without him messing with you too much. Although, Neal S. has become better at dealing with possible customers than before. Honestly, I take work to both of them, because I support the privateer, seriously! These guys are both really good at what they do. Hope this helps. -Neilspeed
