Mike and his team took tremendous care of me....The price was expected for the work to be done. Severe coolant leak due to bad oil cooler and a couple other small items. When I arrived the parking lot was loaded with vehicles needing maintenance but they had me completed the next day. I hope I don't need vehicle work again but if I do I WILL be a repeat customer.
