The gentlemen were knowledgeable, professional and courteous. They took my concerns seriously and communicated clearly. My cabin air filter was embarrassingly filthy. The Technician put my at ease by sharing a story about his Mom having the same problem. They worked quickly and methodically on that very hot and humid day.
