Shad2025-08-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have a 2017 BMW 440i that I bought from auction, the car had no issues whatsoever, I repaired the light damages it had, headlight, bumper and bonnet. Car was perfect. I took it to a Bodyshop they treated the car poorly, parked it in dirt and soil the car got stuck. They towed the car out and ever since then wires were cut, car started to malfunction, headlights not working, ground cables ripped in half. I tried everything, splicing the wires etc, tried other electricians no matter what my car was still in a limp mode. Shannon came down rewired everything and still no luck. He told me to leave it with him and he'll try his best to find what it is. When he left he texted me at midnight 'I can fix the car, I just need 1 hour'. Booked another hour with him, and my car was fixed, as if nothing ever happened. I appreciate Shannon so much, best person to sort out your vehicle. Robert Smith2025-08-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SP88 recently installed a Wolfbox G900 dashcam. From discussing my best option through to installation Shannon was excellent, courteous and professional. He did a quality job in the installation. Very happy and would highly recommend.
