George, Sept 2020

Pros:

Staff was friendly and helpful

Cons:

Maintenance on the vehicles are poor. The treads on both front wheels were way below what would be considered safe. The right front wheel also had a small air leak so i had to constantly fill it with air when available. They have a no smoking policy, however the vehicle had clear signs of smoking, from the headliner on the B pillar being discolored from smoke to obvious markings on the passenger seat and drivers side A pillar, as well as a slight smoke odor coming from the vents.
