From Customer Reviews
👨‍🔧 Ask for Matt when calling - customers highlight his honesty, clear communication, and willingness to explain services without talking down to customers 💰 Request a second opinion quote - multiple reviews confirm Harrell beats competitor pricing and maximizes warranty coverage on repairs 🔍 Verify diagnostics elsewhere if concerned - one customer caught an inflated engine replacement estimate, so getting second opinions on major work is wise
