FAQ
Why are shops outside Petaluma listed here?
16 of the 24 shops on this page are in Petaluma; the others come from other towns within 20 mi and appear with their own city. A car with worn steering is still drivable, so a modest drive is reasonable here, though a clunk that has turned into a bang is not something to travel with. Distances are straight-line.
