Anthony was great, very friendly and helpful. Fixed the exhaust while we went for coffee, when we got back he told us he had found a few other faults, quoted us prices which were very reasonable which made me feel like I wasn't getting ripped off.
Would definitely recommend R & D Auto Services.
You are very welcome Chris. No doubt your car is running not only quieter but smoother without the broken exhaust and catalytic converter. As I have said to my customers, if I dont notify the customer of other issues I am not doing my job properly. As you saw yesterday I do like to take pics of the issues and explain them while I show them to you. With all that said we very much appreciate your review and kind words.
