John and his mechanics are miracle workers. I had a suv that had locked up after a supposed radiator leak . The dealership said it was too old to fix even though they had just worked on it. John looked at it and told me to contact the service manager. Something about it didn't look right. The service manager got involved and said we will make it right. If you need a second opinion, go to Birch Automotive.
