Volvo S60

It is sad that we let our cars "go" like we sometimes let our health "go" because we don't trust mechanics or doctors! I would like to say my mechanic mentality has CHANGED! When my Volvo put-putted into my driveway I thought, Oh Lord, this is going to cost a fortune. I used Your Mechanic a month ago on another car and had pretty good service with Chris V. I decided to take the plunge again to at least get the $70 diagnostic testing. When Ben arrived I was pretty scared that I was going to be out thousands of dollars, but to my surprise, I was back on the road under $175!!!!! Ben was fabulous, sweet, kind, honest, fast, thorough and an ex-marine! I made a new friend in him and feel stress-free knowing I can count on him in the future if needed!
