What do recent reviews say?

Five-star reviews highlight prompt emergency response and efficient work; older testimonials praise friendly staff and no-show-up fees. One-star complaints span overpricing, missed appointments, recommending expensive replacements instead of fixes, poor diagnosis, and lack of cost transparency. Recent pattern is sparse, but positive reviews cluster around 9 years ago while negative ones span the full decade.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
