I had been searching for a reliable European car mechanic for some time and was left disappointed after trying a few options. Then I came across Cox Auto through their marketing, and I couldn’t be happier with their service. Their customer care and quality of work have been excellent, and their pricing is very reasonable.
I’ve taken my car to Audi Richmond in the past, but their focus seemed more on selling new cars than providing good service, and their customer service left a lot to be desired.
Cox Auto, on the other hand, have been genuine, professional, and trustworthy. I’d definitely recommend giving them a try.
