J Sid
had this to say:
I work here but that's not why I have both of my vehicles serviced at Maxwell Auto. These guys know VWAG vehicles better than anyone. The parts they use are not the cheapest, they are the highest quality. And vehicles don't leave the shop until the service and repairs are done correctly. And unlike other shops I have worked at, repairs done here stay fixed.

So I actually didn’t go into the shop itself but I ran into the owner after my tire popped on my way home. I was so stressed about paying a ton just to tow my car to my storage lot but out of the generosity of his heart Max helped put on my spare and gave me advice as well driving home and getting a replacement. I was almost on the verge of tears because I’m not financially well off but that was truly just so amazing! If I ever have a car problem I will be coming here and I recommend others just based off the customer service! Thank you so much again! ( my tire was pretty bad)
