“Dave was awesome! He towed our trailer, fixed us up at the shop, which was a VERY nice facility. So impressed! Considering it was 8pm, we assumed we would have to stay in a hotel, but nope! He had us all fixed up and back on the road in no time. Although I am from Illinois…I cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you for taking such good care of us Dave!! And thank you for taking such pride in your job! I appreciate you!”
