Customer feedback
Reviews mention fast service, fair pricing, and straightforward transactions:

- Diane Zipley: “Honestly, I was surprised how fast Mike got back to me—showed up in an hour and a half. No hassle, no upselling, just a straight deal.”

- Kenzie Vasquez: “Mike earned it. The second he walked in, I could tell he actually gave a damn. No pushy sales pitch, no fake niceness—just someone who treated me like a person.”
