“I had such a great experience! Franco was super clear and patient, explained everything really well, and was incredibly honest and kind. As a woman it can be hard to find someone you truly trust, but he made me feel comfortable and confident.”
“I have a '68 VW Beetle and Franco has helped me out a few times. He rebuilt the rear drum brakes so they work perfectly now, and replaced the crankshaft pulley and fan belt. Easy to deal with and great quality work.”
