Takes a good person to admit when they have wronged someone. Nice of you to issue the apology.

Ed and Bill at Mongillo motors have been nothing but honest with me since day one. Taking the time to answer my calls after hours and spending a great deal of time discussing things with me about my car.

I wish to publicly, and personally apologize on here for bad mouthing your co. without giving you the chance to make good on it. After talking with you both today I really hope that we can re establish the business relationship that we once had. Again I m sorry for any bad or derogatory comments that were made by me. I still trust you guys and want to continue to have my work done at your shop.

Its sometimes Hard on the shop side (i do know) to take a PASSION,HOBBY, and Love for the Best Damn Sports car everbuilt and let it evolve into a Business.... It can darn sure take the FUN out of the love for these cars because of the business.. So when your cruising and everything is going right,just enjoy it!!! But when the SH$$ hits the fan , it always hits the shop owners as well!!! Nice Apology and i feel the sincerity in your words..!!! You can have the Vette keys back!!!!

Nice job! I'm not Italian, however I have an Italian wife so I feel the love.

I wish society in general could take this approach. Starting with the hot heads sitting down with the president today for a few beers.
