I have been a customer of Oliver's for many years. I have a 2002 Honda Civic that is close to 300,000 miles.......Thanks to Mike and his automotive knowledge. I'm always treated fairly, and his front office, run by Tammy , takes on the job of keeping me posted and informed about what is going on, with my car. They are great!
