Joseph A. from TOWNSEND, DE on 6/1/2020 for an auto repair of their BMW and their testimonial is:

"They conduct business from a humane perspective, assuming themselves to be at the receiving end of their services. When my BMW X5 broke down on a major high way, a place far away from home, and after multiple outrageous quotes and frustrations as a result delays from my insurance company and other shops, a few minutes phone call to them was a relief. I couldn't thank Google enough for letting them show up in my search. They dispatched a tow truck to rescue I and my vehicle to their shop without long wait. Prior to their tow arrival, they had already performed a tentative diagnostics over the phone by asking what I think might be wrong. I shared that my serpentine/timing belt had come off. They asked me to hold on while they performed a parts availvailability check to get things ready before the vehicle arrive at the shop. Upon arrival, far less than two hours, the had my vehicle back on the road with diagnostics for future repairs. I made it safe and happy to my family. To think of the fact that such a prompt and excellent service was rendered in the middle of dealing with COVID19 was amazing. To be a man of extremely darker complexion, the respected manner they transacted with me was telling of their openness and highest level of appreciation for the racially diverse clients they serve."
