We took it to Advanced Transmission, and were quoted $3000 as an estimate. When it was done, the bill came to $850. They said the job wasn't as complicated as everyone thought.

Had to have the windshield using my auto insurance on my 2020 Mercedes C 300 replaced. Called and…read moreJF was great and told me all the ins and outs of changing a windshield. Made appointment and he received the insurance company OK while we were on the phone. Set up appointment for a few days later. Arrived on time and all went according to plan. The front windshield was replaced in less than two hours, the car was spotless and had been washed in the shop by them. "Bugs on the windshield - just replace it" We went down to Mc Donald's to kill the waiting time and in two hours it was done and a very nice young man came from the shop to take us back up to the shop. Paid our deductible to JF, he explained the guarantee and we were off on the road with a nice clean car- both inside and out We would totally recommend this shop to anyone needing their service. Great folks, fast work and a great friendly atmosphere. John Kelly

However, they often have better prices than the other gas stations around and closer to home - even of the same brand, so we stop in here when we need to fill up.

Needed a tow, arranged through CAA and sent an update saying call would be 1hr and another saying…read more"en route". When the first ETA came up I was sent another ETA changing the time adding another 90mins. When that ETA came up I received another ETA updated adding an additional hour. Then when that ETA came up I was given another one adding 2 more hours to my call. I called to inquire why I can't be given an accurate ETA, and can't spend my day like this, and told the last ETA would be the accurate one. I waited. ETA came and went. I gave an additional 45mins to the ETA as I had received no other updates. Finally I called and was told my call was cleared by Rose, and that they are no longer coming. After 6 hours of waiting in the winter cold and not receiving a clear time frame, they decided my call was done. Leaving me stranded. In the winter. They picked up the call again and I had to wait an additional 2hrs for the tow. Placed the call at noon, didn't show up until after 1900. I've been in the winter cold this entire time. The driver who finally showed up, was the most reckless and dangerous tow operator I've ever had the misfortune of encountering. I've never witnessed someone display this level of incompetence. Named "Bungalow" cause there isn't anything upstairs? This place will never get my business again and only got 1 star from me so I could leave a review, they don't deserve it. EDIT; after lengthy respose from company - was not misinformed I was going based on what I was told and what I saw. Yea your driver is in the cold but that was a career choice no? The four of us who witness the driver would beg to differ. On your video did see how fast he was going back and forth in the uneven snow causing his massive truck to slide everywhere uncontrolled around people and other vehicles? Did you see on the video him almost hit a van two times? Did you see us offer to move other vehicles or the vehicle to be towed to make it easier for him to just quickly load and him decline us and continue to go back and forth like he was running over his mortal enemy? This was a very lengthy response to this complaint loaded with excuses. I did call, I was informed. You need to work on your customer service skills. Sometimes customers have bad experiences, saying others didn't doesn't rectify the situation. You're overly defensive for no reason and lacking as well.
