Eddie is the best! Great customer service and listened to my explaining what my car had wrong. He was very thorough on explaining to me that I needed a new battery. I went in to get a second opinion, and he got the job done. While I was in there I also got a smog check done to my car. Very happy with the speedy service and overall experience! 5/5!
