I reached out the morning of December 24th after puncturing a tire. Despite being open only a few hours for Christmas Eve and already booked, Allan agreed to see me so we wouldn't be stranded over the holidays. He went above and beyond to fix my tire — an honest, helpful car expert who provides excellent service.
