Started using Green Light Garage when our mechanic (a family member of Ken's) joined forces under Green Light. Brought son's 2011 Tahoe in for 100K maintenance service. Ken and his staff communicated well, both at drop off and along the way. Work was efficiently completed and the Tahoe is a happy camper! Green Light Garage is now the garage of choice for my vehicles, including my classic Chevelle!
