They made it a point to understand what type of speaker upgrade I was looking for and they performed a sound check to identify what was required. I was concerned about taking the dash apart (factory speakers) because of the age of the vehicle. Once they recommended replacement speakers, I let them know that I could schedule an appointment for later to come in for the installation, but they were able to get the speakers and install them while I waited. They were very knowledgeable about the replacement process and the speakers sound great. This was something that I had wanted to do for a very long time and this shop made it happen quickly. I am very happy with the results and I will to use them for other services in the future.

Bottom Line: the owner Dave West is a man of his word. My…read moreFIAT 500/Abarth convertible top was crunching, stuck would not close or do full travel. I was given a quote to repair and told that these were very complex, time consuming repairs. The price, while high, but only half of what dealers in Atlanta and Huntsville quoted. I was given the choice of using the top closed, or a complete redo. This was the only shop in Birmingham willing to attempt the repair. After replacing the rails, travellers, multiple parts (all of cheap OEM FIAT plastic), the top still had issues. It did not stop at the midposition detents, and the trunk would not open. Reviews of this top on the internet show that it is very complex and I feel cheaply made. That is why most shops won't touch them. After two further attempts at repair, I was told that there was nothing further they could do. However, they agreed to a third attempt, at their expense if I would bring the car back two months later. Although skeptical, I took Dave West's word that they would make it right. True to his word, Dave fixed the issues on his own dime! I knew that he lost money on the repair and offered to pay him additional monies. He refused and apologized for the delay in getting it fixed. I applaud Mr. West's honesty.
