“Omid arrived on time, explained exactly what was needed, and potential problems with the job at all hand. He took the car and arrived back well within the expected time, job complete. I had antifreeze leaking into the passenger footwell, Omid also cleaned the antifreeze from the footwell. I struggled with local garages to get this job done for more than 3 weeks and failed, Omid took care of it in a few hours. Based on my experience with Omid I would not hesitate to recommend him. Extremely happy with the service he provided.”
