We left there knowing we wouldn’t spend our money there and racking our brains on who to go to instead.  Thank goodness we found Haynes.  We can’t praise them enough!  Every single person we encountered, whether it was on the phone, doing the finance, in the Parts shop, was really really nice.  They made it special, which is how it should be”.
