We first went to Purrfect Auto on Eastern in Henderson and they quoted $700 to repair. I then went on Angieslist to find a shop. Found Sun auto then went there. They quoted $200 and repaired the car. Works great and saved $500. I think we found our auto center for future repairs.

Service went very well. They showed up on time, brought in their equipment and started with the job. He noticed some traces of past fired in the chimney but said they weren't bad and there was no need for a deeper cleaning. He got the job done and had me ready to burn some wood!
