He was competent, he was kind, he was helpful, and he was funny ... he took a bad situation and made it as good as we could've hoped for. This is a great and honest and kind man! You can feel confident about placing your trust in him! I drove from Rockford to visit my daughter and thanks to Matt, we still made it to line dancing!!

I still have never heard from service even after leaving my number both times. My car is a 2024 Nissan Kicks.

I have changed the oil both time I have tried to connect with them. DO NOT EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER GET A HOLD OF THEM TO GET SOMETHING FIXED EVEN UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. and yes I have went out there, still never had any service done.

Big A Auto told me the entire under area of car had been messed up from someone who didn't know what they were doing. He said it'd be $2,000 to fix it. At the time I thought maybe the college driver had let someone work on it so I paid it. My mistake as I didn't take time to think it thru. I know the folks I bought it from were honest and long time friends. Big A lied.

Since I am an older woman needing the service I think they felt they could lie to me about the car.
