    Richard the manager was so rude after he did the work he tried to overcharge me acting as if forgot the original quote. He was so rude and hateful for no reason at all. Only came here for my rear brakes & I supplied the parts myself. He done cut my front brake line on the right side, pulled the coolant reservoir sticks up broke it. My brakes are now squeaking. He emptied the brake fluid, brake light still on and told me over there, so we went to auto store for brake fluid. We didn't deserve this bad treatment. I HAVE MORE WORK IN REPAIRS NOW because more was done.You NOT right in the head clearly. I had professional inspections on this car and will be reporting him. Richard will be refunding me and more. I wish I had saw these hidden bad reviews earlier believe these people. No lies told. He is putting people in danger.
