I was in Valdosta visiting family when my engine light came on. I took it to Auto zone to read the codes and it said I needed two sensors. I remembered Ben's auto from a previous visit with my daughter's car repair. When they diagnosed my car it was a simple air filter fix and cleaning. Ben's is an amazing service center. They are fair and trustworthy. Highly recommend
