Tom Hansen, Mercedes Classic Center, is retiring after 49 years in the MB parts business.

He was always VERY knowledgeable, friendly, and can still be reached at 949-598-4842. (At least until March 31)

We are glad he survived Covid and appreciate his service to our 500Eboard members over the years.

Happy Retirement Tom!

Thank you Trae for the info ... now who would be the "go to" guy for our future needs? Did Tom suggest anyone?

Let’s hope we get the same discount that Tom offered.

Tom is a great guy. He introduced me to David Poole in 2003 after I had a run in with an unscrupulous mechanic here in Dallas and David became one of my closest friends until he passed away in 2012. I wish him well.

CONGRATS to Tom on his RETIREMENT 49 YEARS is a LONG TIME to be w/ one company, Whew!

Geez, being in construction most of my life the longest I’ve spent with one company is eight (8) years and I never even got a gold watch.

Tom you’ve worked long enough and deserve to spend some time in a rocking chair or to do whatever you want to fulfill your life’s dreams. It’s time to enjoy life while you still can.

I only found out about Tom’s bout with Covid when I stopped by the Classic Center last September and found the CC closed to the public. A gal came to the door and told me Tom was working from home so I called him for the part and he told me at that time he was fighting Covid and it was giving him a hard time. I glad to hear he made it thru the ordeal.

I met Tom when he worked for Caliber Mercedes in Anaheim, CA. At the time I didn’t realize that Ted Reich / Transmeister was his brother-in-law. Ted married Tom’s sister. Ted retired a couple years ago and closed his business in Orange, CA.

Tom,

Good Luck to you and all your future endeavors.
