Hi Tom -- Thank you for the great instruction. We had to use the chains, and I impressed the heck out of my wife by whipping those things on in under 5 minutes!

It was great to meet you, and I will be passing along your information to other similarly mechanically challanged people.

Hey Tom,

I was smiling all the way back to Oceanside after meeting you.

Thank you so much for the enlightening and fun experience buying snow chains. I'm not hesitant about encountering snowy conditions in the mountains now.

What a valuable service you provide - reminds me of olden days when people took time with each other instead of now where everything is about mass selling and store employees don't have a clue about the products.

You are definitely unique and I always appreciate meeting another "alien." :) Makes the world more interesting.

Keep on doing what you're doing! Whooooo.......haaaaa!

Many blessings.

Hi there,

Thank you for your fun and humorous instruction, it’s an awesome service you provide!  I know I didn’t quite get the hayaaaaaa down very good last night on that last clip but I was laughing and that kind of zaps the strength.  I’m sure I’ll get it down and that last clip on quickly if needed as I’ll be out in the cold and snow and most likely will not be laughing and having the giggles J

The best to you, your wife and of course Shela.  I hope you have a very Merry Christmas a grand New Year!

Thanks again,

Jennifer

Thanks Tom, I used the chains for Many Miles this weekend. Lots of ice.
Worked great. Storage bag, gloves and tarp all came in handy. I did loose the blocks as they shot off into the san bernadino forest while driving off of them....at least they are bidegradable!
Couldn't help laughing at myself as I remembered your specific instructions and steps putting them on and taking them off.
Even caught myself grunting as I put on the rubber band!
You provide a great service to So. Cal drivers. Keep up the great work.

Happy New Year Tom,
Just wanted to let you know that I sucessfully put on and took off my new chains two times on the way to Portland last week. The onlookers were so impressed with my speed (and kong-fu yelling technique) that I was asked to help them put their chains on.
Thank you again& I will recommend you to anyone in need of chains!
Take care,
Amanda

Dear Thomas,
I am so happy I decided to call you for my snowchain needs a few weeks ago. I watched a lot of people struggling in the slush as I quickly put mine on trouble free. Your attention to detail is unsurpassed!
Thanks,
Mike

Tom,
The trip to your house was well worth it; the chains went on easily and worked like a charm. We stopped to chain up about three miles before the CalTrans roadblock. in those three miles there were three wrecks, two were 4WD SUVs, one a roll-over and another that slammed into a big rig that was chaining up.

Also, there were a lot of people stopping to adjust or deal with ill-fitting chains.

The ones you sold us went on and stayed on all weekend until I-80 was dry. My wife, who is really not familar with treacherous winter driving conditions, felt safe the whole time. I like to think it was due to my driving but I think the chains played a large part.
Thanks again and I'll be glad to send people your way for chains.
Chris

I've only posted a couple of times, but have seen numerous comments regarding The Highwayman and his chain service.
Since the b/f and I will be heading up next week, I thought I'd pay him a visit to hook up my Explorer. I had memories of growing up, my dad in the freezing snow, yelling "these stupid f****ing chains". I wanted to avoid reliving these memories as much as possible.
I have to say The Highwayman is one of the kindest, most generous, and seemingly genuine people I have ever met. First off, he invites you to his house for a chain fitting. He takes the time to explain how things work, then gets you down with the tires to make sure you know what you're doing. He wants his customers to feel confidant that they can install chains themselves.
I am so fortunate that I found The Highwayman on the forum and that I live down the freeway from him. I will definately recomend his services any chance I get. I wanted to publicly say "Thank You" for all the help.

**The b/f says if Sheila needs a babysitter or home, she's welcome anytime.

Thomas,
Thank YOU for delivering exactly what I needed. I always like to deal with a pro and I am convinced that no one knows more about chains [ and cables ] than you do. I enjoyed meeting you and I enjoyed the visit and I am really happy with what you sold me.

I just hope that if my wife and son are stranded on a road somewhere, someone like you is the one who stops to help. [ my greatest compliment ]
Thanks again,
Tom Sweeney

Hey Highwayman,
I hope all is well and I just wanted to let you know how my trip to Mammoth went last weekend. We arrived without incident and with no snow on the ground Friday, but by the time we woke up there was a steady snowfall. When the storm finally passed on Sunday, 25 inches of snow had fallen and my small 2WD Ranger was buried. However, with the help of your cables and the sandbags you gave me, I was able to pull out of that snow drift with little trouble. Thanks again for your help and good luck to you in the future.
Cheers,
Jeremiah

Hi Thomas,
I spent one full week on the internet calling around to get snow cables for my car. Out of 100s of websites and phones calls, you were the most nicest and educated person I encountered. Since I had a 10" lift and 38" tires, I thought I would never find cables for my car. I drove out 31/2 hours each way to your facility and found it worth while because not only you had the cables for my tires but you gave me so many tips, tricks, and supplies to make my job easier on the snow. This type of business and customer service is very hard to find. I wanted to Thank you for your service and will highly recommend you to all my friends and family.
Sincerely,
Brian Safdari

Thomas,
I have to say the experience was outstanding. You made it pleasurable,educational, and interesting. It definitely shows that you enjoy what your doing and you give us, the novice all of the information we may need to make chains an enjoyable and benefical experience, or at least as enjoyable as it can be to put chains on in the snow and cold.

I also want to compliment your web site, communication, ect... It gives just about all of the information.

Thanks for everything and I will definitely recommend your services to everyone that will listen.
Thanks
Mike

Thank you very much for everything...everything went fine... we appreciate what you did for us...my brother-in-law bought his own chains and had a miserable time with a flat tire and loosened brake lines that had to be fixed...so we saw how awful it could have been...once again we appreciate your great customer service we will be happy to send anyone we know who needs chains to you :-)

SnowChains101 - Special Thanks to The Highwayman

As a longtime "lurker" on this forum, I firstly would like to say a kind hello to everyone. I've very much enjoyed reading so many of the posts over the past year or so as they've proven most helpful and educational.

But, I really would like to extend a special thanks to The Highwayman. After having read the advice of so many here on the Forum, I met with him over the weekend for SnowChains101. It was the best decision I could possibly make to ensure being safe and secure as the winter driving season approaches. He is as professional, courteous, friendly and genuine as they come. I had no snow chain experience whatsoever, and needed to learn installation/removal from scratch. Thus, it was really a pleasure to gain some of his insights and skill, and to be finally confident in handling chains from start to finish.

I continue to second the notion(s) expressed here previously that anyone who is either a) unsure on chains for their vehicle b) unsure on installation/removal c) just interested in tips of the trade to make the trip to visit The Highwayman. You will not be disappointed.

Thanks so much, Highwayman. I am forever grateful.

Best to all.

My family and I will have to second that thanks:-)) The Highwayman set up my truck and RV with cables this past week and we are ready! Great products, great experience, and you leave knowing exactly what to do---highly recommend him.

It was great learning about The Highwayman through this forum. Who says forums aren't useful? And to think we were just 10 minutes from where he lives. Doh!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Took Saturday morning and went down to El Cajon to see the Highwayman. It was a beautiful drive down the five, past Trails where the waves were firing and I was without my stick It was all better though when I got to meet Highwayman and his lovely wife, his great dog. After a full tour of the rescue rig and a bit of coffee, he got me my Z-cables, showed me how to put 'em on and some tips that make it a much less painful chore. Spent a bit of time shooting the breeze and then had to return for a dinner for my mission.

Anyhow, it was worth every mile and dollar to see you Highway and I look forward to seeing you again! Give Shelia a pat on the head for me.
