Customer Feedback:
Cowden Automotive
“They have taken care of my cars for 3 years. I have older cars (all 75,000+ miles) , so I need a good mechanic. I trust them completely, and I know they won’t rip me off. They’re friendly and wonderful, and their shop is spotlessly clean.”

Customer Feedback:
Five Star Housekeeping - A Referral Service
“We’re very pleased. We’ve had the same young woman at our home in Oakland for several months now. She knows what she’s doing and she has a nice attitude. If I ever want to make a change, or I want to ask questions, I can always get through.”

Customer Feedback:
Traverso Trees
“I’ve been using Traverso Tree for 10 years, and their work is excellent. They are reliable and neat. I have them clean and prune my 25 palm trees anually, as well as remove huge, 30-year-old trees. They’ve also done work for my church in Danville, and they’ve been very happy with them as well!”

Customer Feedback:
Ross M. Stangeland DDS
“I grind my teeth, and my teeth were deteriorating— so Dr. Stangeland had to cap every single tooth in my mouth. It was a huge job, but the quality of his work is absolutely superb. I now get compliments on my teeth all the time! Everyone in his office is pleasant, and fun to be around. They made a huge ordeal very easy.”
