Customer Feedback:
Cowden Automotive
“They have taken care of my cars for 3 years. I have older cars (all 75,000+ miles) , so I need a good mechanic. I trust them completely, and I know they won’t rip me off. They’re friendly and wonderful, and their shop is spotlessly clean.”

Customer Feedback:
Norcal Construction
“I own a grocery store in Oakland that needed repairs after a fire. My adjuster suggested Norcal, and I was really satisfied with them. They suggested what should be done, did it, and made sure it met inspection. They are reliable, and I will be using them again.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Brende & Lamb Tree & Shrub Care
“I’ve been using Brende & Lamb for 10 years. I have some trees that are very hard to control, and they care for them perfectly. I run a bed and breakfast, so it is important to me that they come when we do not have guests. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!”
