All I wanted was a wash, thorough vacuuming and Armor All on all four's of course. I was charged almost forty bucks-which is pretty steep in my opinion but the car cleaner's really handled my baby with care. At the end of the wash, there was an attendant at every angle of my car, wiping, shining and drying it down inside and out. They didn't forget to vacuum inside my cup holders either. I need to check the car wash menu more thoroughly next time. I'm pretty sure I could've gotten the same type of car wash for slightly less.

Within a couple of minutes, the horn was working, but they explained to me that a new one was still needed as there was an internal problem with the component and so, although it was currently working, it would most likely stop working again soon. They made some phone calls to see if they could get the part, but they couldn't. They advised me to get the part from Ford and bring it to them so they could instal it. Best of all, they didn't charge me anything for getting it to work. I know that's a small thing because, realistically, they really didn't do much, but it's that kind of honesty and integrity that I appreciate.

The mechanic (I believe it's Ming) told me that they still had another half year to a year left on them considering that this is my daily driver. He told me just check it again next time I'm in for an oil change. Most recently, I went in for an oil change and had him check my brake fluid because it was within the timeframe of replacement. Ming turned down the work again because the brake fluid was still clean. If you know what you need, this is exactly the place to go for honest work.
