Vara was a referral from another shop, knowing I had a difficult project. I was first impressed by the cleanliness of the shop and friendliness of the employees. This gave me a sense that this would be a good place to take my upholstery project on my boat.
Alan and his crew took great time and patience and helped my wife pick new material, ordered it, and told me that he was out about 3 weeks, but that on a certain date he would be here at noon to start the project. On that date and at 11:45 he and his crew showed up as promised and went right to work. He told me that the project would be done
