Ken and the folks at Green Light Garage are great! I realized last night I had a flat tire. I messaged Green Light and they had me call a service to come to my house and put on my spare tire, I called the number and an hour or so later a nice fellow appeared and put my spare tire on. Today I drove over to Green Light. My tire had a huge nail in it and the fellows repaired my tire and rotated the tires. Total cost a little over $22. It is a great place with good, honest workers! - Sue D.
