This place is the best. I brought my ford focus in because it made noises, needed an oil change, and I wanted to get a damage report. I specifically came here because I had a free oil change from a goodie bag I was given. I did research before I came in and was excited to find out it was women run. But still, I was kind of expecting a typical mechanic experience complete with me being scared everything was going to fall apart on the way home. Not the case.First of all, as many have mentioned, it's beautiful. You feel welcome from the moment you step foot in the shop. There were comfortable couches, artwork for sale and to look at, decent coffee and snacks, clean bathrooms, etc. It was a good first impression!Secondly, I was greeted by a really awesome lady. I am terrible with names so I apologize but she had amazing curly red hair. I was a jerk and was totally late because I got lost but she was so nice about it. Took my keys and gave me directions to an awesome coffee shop to get breakfast at while I waited.When I came back the damage was assessed. Not shockingly the car I got at the bad credit lot with the upholstery coming up off the floor had not had a lot of upkeep. It needed about 2k worth of work. I was making a hefty payment for it and certainly did not have that much money. They were kind enough to tell me what was for convenience (aka to make the shaking stop and noises stop) and what was well on its way to killing my car (brown transmission fluid to start). I ended up not doing the work because I decided to trade it in for a new fiat so that I would not have to put money into a worthless car.Finally, I urge you all to go to 180! I would be sending them all of my business if my car was not totally covered by warranty right now. I tell everyone I know to go. I tell my co-workers, friends, boss, etc. I doubt they listen to me because it's a treck for them but I am working on my cen pho people I promise! Thanks for being so awesome!
