I stopped by their shop yesterday, and although I already knew from the reviews that these guys are highly regarded, I was still pleasantly surprised. From the (free) inspection, I have a clear understanding of the state of my car and my options to improve it. There's something about talking directly with an insightful expert that clarifies things and inspires confidence.
Over the years I've been around a lot of people who are very good at what they do, and I got that same vibe at Crawford's. I'm impressed, and expect to be bringing my car here, going forward.
