Thank you for sharing this candid feedback. We’re glad your vehicle was completed ahead of the promised time and that Nicole stayed responsive throughout the process, even when the answers weren’t necessarily the ones you were hoping for. We appreciate her commitment to keeping you informed. We also understand why the circumstances surrounding the fuel injection issue would be upsetting, especially after experiencing a breakdown on the 405.
