 Joe
Wilson - A Certified Master Service Technician, we here at the Q Shop
believe that there are few, if any, more qualified to service your
equipment, whatever brand it is - he's only been at it for 22 years
though. Joe, his wife Pam, and his faithful
sidekick Kai love to sail every chance they get. We suspect that Kai
is secretly learning how to sail the boat himself. |
