Yep, I'd say break-in service to be pretty important...

Don't forget to "beat the hell out of it" on the way home, otherwise it won't respect you in the morning.

For trekking, the guys down in Richmond VA have great reviews, ...to far for me though. Around here, it's a crapshoot, all about the same if you walk in cold. For me it's been best to work with and build a relationship with one service writer & tech, and stay with them, rather than jumping around and getting whoever is available at the time. Takes some effort in planning/timing service calls but worth the efforts.
