- RGRene GarzaOct 3, 20255.0Awesome service n people
- JVJ VAug 29, 20251.0First time I went there a few months ago I caught a little glimpse of the attitude of the owner. He was arguing with an older man and he got up from his desk and he was in the guy's face. I just minded my own business and hoped that it wouldn't happen to me. Today I called cause.I had gotten my truck locked and needed to get it unlocked.And I asked them if I could take it anywhere else that was closer because I had to get it towed. He started saying how he didn't deal with other businesses and didn't know how much they would charge me. I told them I'm not asking you about other businesses or how much they charge.I'm asking if I can go anywhere else. I guess he didn't like that I was taking my business elsewhere. It wasn't because of the attitude at this point but it was because it was closer to get my truck towed and I don't want to pay six hundred dollars for a tow truck. I struggled to get a word in as he was talking over me. The guy does have an attitude problem.I don't think it was warranted but oh well he lost a customer. I ended up taking it to another place.In mission where there are actually open on saturdays a lot closer to my house. Just do your homework and remember you do have choices.He is not the only person working on this. Hopefully, you won't have any problems.But I did and I witnessed it where someone else also did. The technicians on the other hand working there are great.I've never had any trouble with them.

- MMMachuLifeJul 7, 20251.0Llevo dos meses con el aparato y es un dolor de cabeza que no respeten los precios iniciales y cada mes salga algo nuevo, intento comunicarme para resolver y nunca tienen respuesta o solo te contesta la operadora. No los recomiendo
