Thank you Harold for a job well done on my car. I just picked up my car yesterday and I want to say "Thank you" Harold for the excellent service that you give my car each and every time that I have left it with you. I am VERY particular about who and how my car is serviced and cared for. I feel that Harold gives my car the same good service and attention that he would give his own car. I am very comfortable with both the service and his price. It is good to have honest business people in our community.
