I am an older lady who was in desperate need of car repair. Had never used this company before, so I had no idea what to expect. From the onset, they were friendly, kind and professional. Honest am completely transparent throughout the process.. The quality of workmanship done on my car, in replacing rear struts and sway link bars, ...was outstanding. I'm so happy I took the chance to get my car repaired by them. What a great bunch of people. I am a customer for life!
