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:
Kim’s Appliance Repair
“He’s very good. He has most of his parts on his truck, so he doesn’t have to run around. He’s done practically everything for me— repaired stoves (gas & electric), refrigerators, and washer and dryers. He knows his work, and he knows his business.”

Customer Feedback:
Live Oak Decks
“I was so impressed with their knowledge about decks and foundations. They caught something that the original designer of the house missed, and added some support beams under our deck that serve as part of the foundation. They were responsive, and I was very happy with them.”
