Me and my fiancée were traveling from Snohomish, WA (Seattle Area) to Salt Lake City, UT in our Hyundai Kona. All of a sudden as we stopped in Boise to visit family, right after grabbing gas the engine light came on and my engine sounded clunkier all of a sudden. Let’s just say I went into a slight panic due to needing to drive another 4.5 hours to Salt Lake City that same day. After getting a scan to check, the spark plugs and coils needed to be replaced. Calling around desperately, Gills took us in immediately and even replaced every spark plug and coil like new and got us back on the road in less than 2 hours! Thank you so much for getting us to our convention in time! <3
