Hands down, Charlie is a magician. My little car has had an electrical short for five years that multiple mechanics couldnt find. Ive spent more time and money on this short than sense and it made it impossible to drive at night as it took out my rear lights. By sheer dumb luck, we found C and C on here and took a chance on a last ditch effort to maybe get it finally fixed.
Charlie found the short in just a few hours. Knowing how much the car had already been combed over, I can say with absolute confidence that Charlie is extremely thorough and an excellent diagnostican. He was honest
