I have done my car and daughters cars for years. Brakes, Tune ups, Battery, window motors, but I can't do a rear main bearing seal. Neither can the master mechanic I use when I can't do a job. He said he would pass but said expect about a $2200 est. That's what the Dealer wanted! Well my car runs great and not ONE drop of oil has leaked in 6 weeks since I picked up my car from you! And at $1200 for a 10 hour 2 man job you did me a huge favor, thanks is an understatement. You restored my faith in people being decent to one another as well as fixed my car.quotes-image
