“My teenager needed his breaks done and we took it to Les Schwab for an estimate. He could not afford the $1400 bill so we took the car to Brad at Shell Station. I heard good things about him and I thought I'd see how much he would charge. The whole thing cost $600 out of the door and it was done the same day. Thank you for not charging an arm and a leg just because you can.”

“There's a hero who work at this Walgreens, and he is in the photo department! Sir, I can't remember your name, but when we needed late night last minute photos for passports taken, we called and Walgreens answered on a random Tuesday evening! Upon arrival, the photo backdrop was ready and not even 12 minutes later we walked out with printed passport ready photos when we'd arrived 15 minutes before the store closed, you made our night and our trip! Thank you, Walgreens. You get my gold star!”
