ReliabilityThe shop was able to complete the job in 45 minutes.  They promised to get it done within an hour.TangibilityThe pull-in area was clean and uncluttered.  The waiting room has wifi, free coffee/tea, large screen TV, and even a play area for kids. ResponsivenessAs soon as I pulled in, a service rep came to greet me and ask for my needs. They also answered my concerns after the jobs were completed. AssuranceThey explain to me that I may need a new battery and explained to me why my battery seemed to be very short-lived given my daily short trips. EmpathyGiven the amount of works that is needed in my old car, they helped me prioritize the jobs and offered me discounts.
