Description of Work: Oil and air filter change. It was great service as always. John and his crew are honest and helpful and I much prefer to go to them over the dealership or any other mechanic in the area. They don't have a fancy waiting area and big screen tv but then again I don't feel like I am paying additional for that!

Description of Work: At this point I don't remember what needed to be done, but I think it had to do with the oil filter PLUS related parts but beyond the usual simple oil filter replacement. It went perfectly within two hours. I have been going to PAW Service for all my auto needs since 2007 and wouldn't even think about going elsewhere. Their prices always beat the dealer's by $100's. AND they almost always do the work while I wait.

Description of Work: We used the coupon we bought on Angie's list to recharge Freon on air condition system. Then we came back for a return trip to have the front end alignment, oil change, blinker bulb replacement, rotate tires and they checked to see if we had a leak on our air conditioner. We wish we had found them years ago. Will definitely use again!!!!!!!!Excellent work!!!!
