Exceptional service and kindness! I couldn’t be more grateful for the recent help I received here. My car broke down unexpectedly during a road trip, and luckily I was nearby Ballenger Auto. Edwin immediately stepped in to assess the issue. Not only did he quickly diagnose and fix the problem, but he also stayed open hours after closing—going truly above and beyond—for someone he had never met. Thanks to him, I could get home safely. This kind of dedication and care is rare. Highly, highly recommend.
