Thank you to Sylvia for this sterling review on Google!

"I've had several cars serviced at Mac Churchill and am consistently pleased with the quality and price. Most recently, I had tires rotated and balanced to remove a vibration at high speed. The wait is consistently 15 minutes longer than they estimate, but the work has been flawless and there's no vibration at high speed. I also appreciate the report of additional work that needs to be performed in the future. It helps me prioritize and budget better." - Sylvia Flachsbart

Yet another happy Mac Churchill Acura customer on Cars.com!

"Awesome service. I think that they are making every effort to satisfy customers. When I got to there to check my ACURA RDX 2011, customer service manager explained my car status. Especially, for checking engine noise, while I was driving, he rode in the passenger seat and checked whether or not the engine noise in my car and he also gave a detailed description to me. I would like to appreciate for his kind service." - Damp72
