I always say you can tell a lot about someone based off of how they drive, when the risk of real accountability/confrontation is low (providing there’s no accident)…similar to social media. Reckless, inconsiderate, entitled drivers are exactly that as their character & at their core, and that was my …”
“One of there van drivers almost hit my 2025 Mustang GT backing out of a spot at SPINX. If they can’t use their eyes to see my bright red car I couldn’t imagine how low quality their work is. Plus they might hit your car backing out of your driveway.”
Positive
“John at Local Plumber did a great job replacing the gas line on my water heater. He was well-informed and straight foward about the price and what he was going to do. I also appreciated talking to Gabby(?) when I called (rather than an automated service) to set up the appointment. I would recommend Local Plumber for their promptness and quality of service.”
“John came by and cleared up my leaking water heater with quick and efficient service. He gave me a fair price and let me know everything that was going on before he got started. Friendly service and excellent speed.”
