I didn't know what to expect when I first walked into this business but after filling out the application and immediately being greeted by the awesome bosses who took me in to my interview on the spot I was treated as if I was family to them. They are very values based and will work with you on your schedule and helping you figure out where it's best that you help them. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone.

Report
Not sure if they irresponsibility stole my vehicle or not, as I do not think they are able to confiscate vehicles that do not belong to the criminal that was charged. I don't even know if they have the authority I act as law enforcement, but you can believe I will be filling a wrongful suit against them! I don't think you can just take property and criminally arrest ppl as a regular citizen!
