Oakland/Berkeley
Customer Feedback:
Oakland Auto Works
“The best service I’ve ever had at an auto repair shop! I had a problem with the locks, and they fixed it like an old school mechanic would, instead of just ordering new parts. Because they did that, the actual cost came in way lower than the bid they gave me!”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Architectural Molding
I would most definitely recommend him, without any question. He does excellent work. Moldings, doors, cabinetry – he’s just a GREAT finish carpenter. He’s very neat, and very punctual. I have no complaints, and have referred them to other people already.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
ABC Windows
“They did a wonderful job— very professional. What I liked is that ABC made the windows themselves, and that they are family-owned. They don’t just treat you like another number; they take an interest in you as a person. Their customer service was excellent, and they had the best price of the three companies I checked with.“
