I was traveling across the country to a funeral when I stopped in Grand Island for the night. I woke up to a vehicle that would not start. I contacted Street Motive and they recommended a tow company and I had it towed to their shop. Mike told me he could have it done by the end of the day, Unfortunately I didn't have the time to stay and wait for the repair so I rented a car and continued on my trip. I told Mike that Id be passing though the following Sunday and if there was any way I could pick it up then. I hated asking for them to come in on a Sunday but I was in desperate need to get home. Mike said he'd make sure someone was around on Sunday to meet me. I met Mike at the agreed upon time and he handed me my keys on a Sunday morning. The work was complete and my car was back on the road. Huge shout out to these guys at Street Motive. The work performed was of high quality and the service was top notch. I've been to 4 and 5 star resorts and Mike's willingness to meet me and deliver my vehicle was second to none. Fantastic job to Street Motive and Mike. Thank you so much for getting my vehicle back to me when I needed it. Hopefully I never need a mechanic in Grand Island but if I do I know where I'm going. Thanks again so much Mike.
