I'm very happy with my experience. Before choosing CARS, I called around to several places and decided to go with them based on our conversation, location and pricing. They are fair, well experienced and reasonable. No gimmicks or trying to convince me of other things. Service was great and fast.

Tried a few garages, but I just love these guys. Daniel is the most communicative gentleman - gives me all the info on what’s going on with my car - and Mauricio is just excellent. I trust these guys with my 89 Ranger, and I won’t be going anywhere else.
