            If you look for ARS reviews elsewhere on the Web you will see that they are overwhelmingly excellent. Please dont let the currently (1 star) sour grape taint your decision. ARS is awesome and hundreds of reviews outside of BBB attest to it. We had a very complicated and very expensive journey getting our epic tar covered car that was salvaged by the insurance company back to road worthy. ARS (*** and ***** especially) were unbelievably professional and helpful with specific advice to help us save time and money navigating the process to get our beloved car back on the road. Nothing but good things to say about ARS! Don't just take my word...check out ****** and Yelp and other reviews for ARS...they are excellent!
