Jim, Judy, and the crew are amazing people. They answered all my questions beforehand and gave me the assurance that they would do a great job. The guys worked so hard and the finished garage floor looks incredible. (yes, good enough to eat off of) It's been 3 weeks since they completed the job and even after more than 36 cars in the repair shop, it still looks new! Auto Source Service has never looked so great.

I don't have enough amazing things to say about Jim, Valentin and their entire crew. They were extremely friendly, professional and accommodating with our schedules to come in such short notice to do our garage floors before we moved into our house. They created a special blend of the chips per our request and it turned out perfect! Floors were done 8 months ago and have dealt with everything from hot sticky tires to brake cleaner and other fluids to the salts from Chicago's wonderful winter and I have no doubt that they will hold up. We highly we recommend and will definitely use them again if we have any other project like this in the future!

As a customer I could not be more pleased with the Garage-Store. From my initial conversation with Jim at the Chicago Auto Show, to scheduling an estimate with Judy, to speaking with salesman Josh and then ultimately working with Roy and his crew during the installation, my experience couldn't have been better. The Garage-Store uses top notch products and combines them with professional application and awesome customer service! A+
