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:
Arachne’s Thimble
“I used to work at Kaiser in Walnut Creek. I now live in Berkeley but still take things to Arachne’s Thimble because I’ve never found anywhere better. I only have positive things to say. They’ve done things for me in a rish when I needed them, and I’ve never had any mishaps.”

Customer Feedback:
Associated Window Cleaning
“We called AWC 4 days before a big holiday party, and they were happy to fit us in to their schedule. They were prompt and did great work. Our windows were sparkling, with no streaks. The quote was accurate, and there were no surprises when we got the bill. They are the only window service I would have back!”
