I had Ayden grease/repack my wheel bearings on my horse trailer. He did all four wheels in a matter of 4-5 hours and cleaned up well afterwards. He charged a fair price that I couldn’t have beat anywhere else. Very kind and reasonable. Great work done!

Vendor was best on price, prompt, and eager to get my business. I wanted the removed trees to be chipped, and while they didn't have a chipper to do that, they went out of their way to deliver mulch the next week at no additional charge.
