Poor level of English spoken at the facility. Car had 2 defects, rear wiper broken, tire low air pressure indicator would not cancel even after checking tire pressures. Upon return, for some unexplained reason, I had to pay any additional $31.98 and I still do not know why I was charged this amount. The rep could not explain the reason, just that his system said This amount was due.
They didn’t even sent my reservation to the local company. It made me lose time and money.
