I brought my car and Bill the owner inspected the Xpel stealth paint protection film on my front bumper. There was damage, but the ppf shielded the paint from any scratches to my midnight silver paint. The price seemed fair and I quoted the price to the female who backed into me and she zelled me the money directly verses me filing a claim against her Automobile Club insurance and penalizing her with a higher premium. I made an appointment the following day and brought my vehicle in the following week. The car was ready the same day and the employee's at Transhine did a excellent job replacing my ppf on the right front bumper and I can't see any remnants of were the ppf was damage. Overall, I had a great experience with Transhine and I would definitely recommend them for a car wash, vehicle detail or a partial or complete paint protection film applied to your ride.

He did warn me that it could be a little wait due to high volume of clients. I ended up going with a muffler delete and replaced my suspension with coil overs. Yen took care of the muffler delete and Lee and two other very helpful gentlemen took care of my coil overs. I have to say I am very satisfied with the quality of work for the value. They quoted me way under anyone else that I had called prior to going with them. I will recommend A-1 Muffler Express to all of my friends and family. They all make you feel that you're part of the family. They offered me coffee and cold water while I waited for my car to be done. One thing to remember, they are experts in mufflers, exhaust systems, and not any other type of work. But it never hurts to ask if they can do it for you!

There wasn't one technician over 20 years old. Bunch of little kids that don't know what they're doing. Probably caused damage to my engine. From the time I got there until the time I left all of them kept staring at me and my wife. Either they are really smoked out or don't know about making people feel comfortable in an establishment.
