Another Five star review for HB Auto & AC. Thank you Judy for the great 5 star customer review! "Excellent customer service. I have brought my car here for almost 2 years. They always explain what I need to have done. I had them fix my AC and an oil leak. Had my oli changed. ... They brought me home when I needed to leave my car for the day, and even offered to pick me up if I needed a ride when it was done. Every one is very friendly and makes me feel that that they care about their customers.

He said if I needed help to do that to bring it in and he would do it for me!
