Since turnover of mechanics quality has gone down the drain. I have brought both vehicles here for several years. Last issue I had took 3 times to fix it properly. After bringing second vehicle back for service I had to return because things weren’t properly aligned causing severe shake in car. 4 strikes you’re out.
