“I didn't meet the mechanic. Car was picked up at 8am sharp and delivered back after the repair at around 430pm. Clutch definitely is much better now! Car is faster climbing hills while before you could pick flowers when on a hill. I was surprised that the amount was taken off my account the day before. I was worried that I was being scammed but it all went very professional. Price was best I could find. I like the pictures they sent via the app with the old clutch vs the new!”
