It includes two desks with laptop stands, basic office supplies, and additional hardware like an external keyboard, mouse, headset, printer, and scannertruly everything a remote worker could need. The coffee bar was a standout, stocked with a dual-function coffee maker, snacks, and all the essentials to keep you energized.

We were so 'impressed' with the finished result that we scheduled the truck to be done. I have paid this amount or more, and only have gotten the interior and exterior cleaned. Never have I had them clean the bed or engine compartment. I cannot find a spot that wasn't touched. It took a couple of extra hours over the estimated 'day and a half' to complete the work but the final result is impressive. Olivia, [ the young lady that does the work ] has an exceptional work ethic. Her dedication to her job, her expertise and attention to 'detail' ( no pun intended ) is amazing. She is second to none. We will highly recommend Auto Solutions and return for more. Thank you Olivia, and Auto Solutions, not only for a job extremely well done but for the support of our Fire Department and First Responders.

The whole tomatoes and mushrooms in the sauce are delectable. The fresh bread is such a treat. Everything is made with care and they treat you kindly. I'm vegan and they'll make things without cheese for me or customize options. Their pizza (when I ate cheese still) was the best I've ever had in my life and reportedly still is. I've done cheese less and it's still just as good, their crust is pillowy soft and flavorful. I'm sad they are only carryout now but covid hurt a lot of family run businesses so I get it. Highly recommend! For vegans/lactose intolerant you can go to Family Fare and get dairy free cheese options. |
