I discovered they had charged an additional $11,682 above what I signed on my receipt. The fuel charge was never mentioned, close to $200.

Dustin Shapero, Google

Called and cancelled on me at the last minute due to light rain, offered a date over a week away.

Madie Dunlap, Google

Owners were very rude, the workers were careless with our stuff. Will not be using them again.
