Our family loves the service you provide. My father who was very mechanically inclined and a pretty tough nut always raved about your service. You installed an engine for him in a Ford Taurus and it’s still running great 15+ years later. Although he’s no longer with us, whenever I see the car I think of how happy he was with the job you performed. Bless You! Scot Schroeder
