Testimonials
Mike Jengo
"Last spring I drove to Colorado, and then to Alaska
almost entirely on waste veggie oil I picked up on the road. This little
car perfomed, and continues to perform flawlessly after well over 20,000 Veg
miles. This includes multiple trips over Loveland and Berthoud Passes in
Colorado, the entire Alaska highway, and back to VT. Not to mention my
daily commute up the Appalacian gap road to Mad River Glen. I was also
loaded down at some points with over 40 gallons of veggie oil in the trunk,
as well as all my clothing, camping gear, and a Thule box on the roof
packed fulll of skis. Jason's veggie oil system is bulletproof,
and has not caused me a single problem, only thousands of miles of nearly
free, environmentally conscious travel.
"I've known Jason for about 8 years, and his competence as a mechanic is
amazing. He is extremely knowledgable, honest, and familiar with VW and
Mercedes vehicles. I am excited for him to convert my new vehiles, a 1981
Mercedes 300D. Jason's program of preventative maintenance made me confident
enough to drive the Jetta with over 200,000 miles on it on that huge
journey to Alaska. Not only does he know what's wrong with your vehicle, but he's seen
enough to know what will go wrong in the future, and will prevent problems
before they become costly. Aside from recycling the veg oil, I also believe
in "recycling" these older, reliable, efficient diesels by keeping them on
the road and well maintained, instead of being a victim of modern
automakers who continue to complicate automobiles, and making very little
headway in fuel efficiency, and reliability." |
