	Very satisifed
Lauretta A.	I am extremely pleased with the quality and speed of service provided by Essential Auto Service. Every effort was made to accommodate my schedule, while recognizing the need to look after a critical problem with my car. John provided me a quote, and estimated the time it would take to repair the car. Rich gave me a ride home and picked me up when the car was ready (even the conversation was superb!) The bill came in as quoted, and the job finished up on time. The car sounds and feels great. I'm a happy camper - happy to know my car is safe to drive, happy that it cost no more than I expected, and delighted that the whole process was such a pleasant experience.
