Did a great job on my 94 convertible Sunbird motor for the top to go up and down. Also good job on the seat on my van matched it great wish that purchased it earlier than the covid crisis prices were a little cheaper

I needed the headliner replaced on my '07 VW Rabbit. M & A got me in quick, for a very competitive price, did quick work, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the job they did! It looks brand new and you can tell they really focused on even the minor details of the install and getting things perfect. Owner seems very friendly, definitely a small shop, but does quality work! The next time I have any issues with my interior, I'll certainly be calling M & A!

Thrilled with the results of my leather repair. I tore the seat of my car and Mickey was so helpful, kind, fair and fast. Highly recommended!
