At Farm Boy Garage we strive to provide the best customer service, as well as a finished product that exceeds customer expectation. In order to do that, we've learned that we have to have partners that are just as dedicated and good at what they do as we are. That's why we are very selective of the products, tools, and equipment we use in our shop. This week, we want to give a shout out to two very awesome vendors that we work with regularly and are proud to be partners with: Snap-On Tools and Fast Shafts! Snap-On Tools When it comes to tool selection, Snap-On is the best choice for any job - big or small. Anyone who's worked on cars over the years knows that you can rely on their tools to get the job done without worrying about replacing them nearly as often as you would a cheaper, less reliable brand. From toolboxes to wrenches to scan tools, these quality made tools are worth every penny spent. Snap-on serves the ever-changing needs of a wide range of automot...
