I came by a few weeks ago to get one of my work vehicles repaired. Had to get a new catalytic converter and they installed one for me. No issues since. Smooth idle and no more check engine light. The lady at the front desk is very friendly and professional. Knows how to communicate. Im coming back to get my brakes done!! Thanks guys !
