2013 Fiat 500

Small car with big heart.

By New Car Test Drive

Overview

Like the Mini Cooper and Volkswagen Beetle, the Fiat 500 is a modern recreation of a

classic. The current-generation Fiat 500 was introduced in Italy five years ago on the 50th

anniversary of the 1957 original. More than half a million Fiat 500s of the current

generation have been sold in Europe, spurred by 60 international awards, including

European Car of the Year in 2008. Now, as a Chrysler product, the Fiat 500 is being made in

Mexico for the North American market.

In Italian, the Fiat 500 is known as the Cinquecento (chin-kweh-chento). Out of the box, it's

a contender for fun-to-drive champ and as a four-seat A-class commuter car. We found it to

be more fun than its competition, including Mini, Fit, Fiesta, Yaris, and Mazda2, though

power is not its strong suit.

The Fiat 500 is about 6 inches shorter than a Mini Cooper, costs about $4000 less, and offers

safety with a 5-star crash rating, sporty performance, fuel economy, technology, cool style

and good looks. It features seven airbags, a 1.4-liter engine with MultiAir valve technology,

Blue&Me hands-free technology, a Bose sound system standard in many models, and a 5-

speed gearbox or optional 6-speed automatic transmission that's also fun.

The Fiat 500 is available as a two-door hatchback (or three-door, if you prefer) or a two-

door convertible. A stretched, four-door version called the Fiat 500L is coming out early in

2013. Fiat 500 hatchbacks come in a range of trim levels: Pop, Lounge, Gucci, Sport, Turbo,

and Abarth. Convertible 500c Cabrio models come in Pop and Lounge trim levels. An

Abarth Cabrio is being introduced as a 2014 model.

The Fiat 500 Pop is both the lowest cost and most all-around practical model. For $2000 less

than the Fiat 500 Sport, the Pop is less aggressive with a better ride. The Pop makes the

most sense to us, but the extra equipment in the Sport is a great value, so you're a winner

either way, as long as you know what you want. You can also get the automatic

transmission in the Pop. You lose some Italian flavor with the automatic, but not having to

constantly work your left leg in the city, or freeway traffic jams, may be a relief. The

Lounge is for those who want their Cinquecento to feel more like a mainstream car, with the

automatic transmission, softened ride and steering, added chrome, more amenities, and

optional leather.

Unlike most convertibles, the Fiat 500c uses a retracting fabric center section of the roof,

with the door frames, roof pillars and side windows exactly the same as on the Coupe

models. It can be opened at speeds up to 60 mph.

For enthusiasts a new Fiat 500 Turbo has been added for 2013. This slots in between a Sport

and the Abarth, with many Abarth upgrades to a lesser degree: 135 horsepower, upgraded

gearbox, more aggressive bodywork, bigger front brakes.

The Fiat 500 Abarth model, a 500 with as much sting as the scorpion badges suggest, has

been a sellout since its introduction as a 2012 model. A wholesale mechanical upgrade on

the Sport, Abarth is $4500 more than a Sport and we submit worth every cent. It's the only

Cinquento that has no Fiat badge anywhere and a price that does not end in 500.

All the models are aptly named. It would be best to take a test ride of at least two, preferably

three flavors before you buy to feel the differences.

Model Lineup

The 2013 Fiat 500 comes

with a 1.4-liter engine, and

it's turbocharged on the

Turbo and Abarth.

Fiat 500 Pop ($15,500)

offers 14 colors and comes standard with air conditioning,

AM/FM/CD/MP3 radio with auxiliary input, power windows, power door locks, power

heated mirrors, cruise control, vehicle information display, fabric seats and 15-inch steel

wheels. A 5-speed manual gearbox is standard; a 6-speed automatic ($1250) with manual

shifting is optional. Pop options include a smoker's pack, engine block heater for cold

climates, compact spare tire, premium or Beats audio system upgrades and sunroof ($850).

Fiat 500 Sport ($17,500) comes with firmer suspension settings, tighter steering calibration,

and a sharpened exhaust note. It comes with the 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic

($1250). It's distinctively styled, with front and rear fascias with black mesh openings,

slightly flared fenders, rocker panel cladding, roof spoiler over the liftgate, and 16-inch

aluminum wheels. Smaller touches include chrome exhaust tip and fog lamps. Inside, the

Sport features seats in what Fiat calls a Gray/Black interior environment, six-speaker sound

system, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, and Blue&Me hands-free

communication technology with USB port and iPod control. Sport options include the

sunroof, TomTom navigation linked with Blue&Me ($400), leather ($1000), XM radio,

Beats Audio, spare tire, and automatic climate control.

Fiat 500 Lounge ($18,500) is the upscale model, with standard 6-speed automatic, automatic

climate control, fixed glass roof, premium fabric seats, Sirius satellite radio, 15-inch

aluminum wheels with wagon-wheel spokes, and more trim and chrome on the outside. It

has the same softer suspension, steering, and body panels as the Pop. Lounge upgrades

include luxury leather ($1500), sunroof, spare, TomTom, Beats Audio, smoker and

convenience packs.

A special Fiat 500 Gucci model ($23,750) is essentially a limited-edition Lounge. It uses the

automatic, color-keyed wheels, green brake calipers, unique door sill plates, Gucci striping

inside and out, embossed leather and plenty of chrome. Options are TomTom, smoker pack,

spare and sunroof-delete.

Fiat 500c Pop ($19,500) is the convertible version of the 500 Pop and equipped similarly.

The 500c convertible is available in Lounge ($22,500) and Gucci ($27,750) versions.

Convertible option lists match coupes, with the addition of a windscreen ($200).

The Fiat 500 Turbo ($19,500) comes with a 135-hp turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, revised 5-

speed manual, larger front brakes with red calipers, 120-amp alternator, 16-inch wheels,

sport suspension, more aggressive bodywork and big single exhaust, black exterior light

trim, and contrast-stitched sport steering wheel, seats, and shifter. Turbo options echo those

for Sport.

The Abarth ($22,000) has a 160-hp turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, dual exhaust outlets,

faster steering, Koni FSD shocks, rear antiroll bar, 16-inch wheels, three-mode stability

control, a day of professional instruction with the Abarth Driving Experience and the

Turbo's 5-speed manual, alternator, bodywork, seats, brakes and so on. Abarth options are

similar to Sport and Turbo, though the Abarth also offers 17-inch forged aluminum wheels

with 205/40R17 tires.

Safety equipment includes seven air bags, reactive head restraints, electronic stability

control, and ABS with brake-force distribution, brake assist, and brake override.

Walkaround

The Fiat 500 is the epitome

of tidy design. Granted, it's

easier to be tidy when

there's less to deal with, and

the Fiat is so small there

isn't much. There's a

chrome strip on the nose, like a pencil-thin moustache, that

the Cinquecento's designer added because without it, he said, the car's styling was too

perfect. Rarely does any manufacturer understand what clean really means, but Italians do.

For that reason alone we need them back in America, as a good influence.

The face of the Fiat 500, with round halogen projector headlamps and parking lights,

combines the family resemblance of other Fiat models sold in Italy, with a modern

interpretation of the original Cinquecento, imported to the U.S. as a 600cc model back in the

1960s. No one in North America remembers, of course; but no matter. It's a winning

European design that's been brought to America after a gentle massage to meet U.S. lighting

and bumper standards.

Simplicity and strength are conveyed thanks to very short overhangs and muscular fenders,

with the front fascia tapering outward to larger wheel arches on the Sport. On the Sport

there's a horizontal cooling duct of black mesh that adds racy character, while the lower

mesh grille integrates fog lamps. The hatch spoiler is a must for aesthetics and helpful for

economy, rear-seat shade and Italian-speed stability.

The distinctiveness of the Fiat 500's shape appears from the profile view, more than front or

rear. The black window outline on the Sport enhances the good looks of the all-business

roofline, while the chrome on the Lounge, especially those chrome mirrors and door

handles, detracts from or makes it pop depending on your view. The Sport also has rocker-

panel cladding that isn't bad, as rocker-panel cladding goes.

The rear view is stylized by a chrome license-plate brow, common in cars today, but true to

the original Cinquecento that was inspired by a bicycle seat, believe it or not. The rear tail

lamps are located between the edges of the liftgate and follow the door's vertical cutline. For

a contemporary look, the rear glass spans the width of the liftgate and meets cleanly at the

pillar. The Lounge has a chrome rear bumper that adds a touch from the '50s.

Also, we might add that the coefficient of drag is 0.35, which is darn good for a little box of

a car.

The original Fiat 500 had a canvas roof that's legendary, and today's Fiat 500 features an

optional dark glass roof that copies the style. The optional sunroof is available as fixed or

powered; in either case the shade is a semi-opaque fabric affair so check it in bright sun if

you're not solar-powered.

There are five separate wheel designs of 15 or 16 inches, with at least three of them good-

looking and eye-catching, and many vivid colors to choose from.

Fiat 500 Turbo and Abarth models look like a Sport on steroids, with deeper airflow-shaping

devices at both ends making the car a couple of inches longer. Larger wheels are punctuated

by big front brakes but the bigger, forged 17s really should be standard on Abarth, and the

big exhaust barrels wouldn't be out of place on a hot rod. Brightly colored mirrors and

Abarth racing stripes are available. Only four colors are offered for Abarth, while Turbos

offer seven colors and no wallpaper. Abarth carries plenty of scorpion badges (Carlo Abarth

was a scorpio), some with Italian-colors lightning bolts behind them, but the Abarth does

not say Fiat anywhere on it.

Interior Features

If the exterior is the epitome

of tidy, the interior is the

epitome of neat. As Roberto

Giolito, the head of Fiat

Style says, it delivers

absolutely everything that is required and nothing more.

Unlike, say, an overly cute Mini and too-boring Yaris.

The Fiat 500 instrument panel gives the Fiat the visual feel of a sports car, except for its one

flaw: a three-ring circus for instrumentation. The tachometer and speedometer are

concentric and this takes some fun out of driving and shifting through the gears, in particular

with the Sport, because it ought to have a tach of its own. The tachometer ring is inside the

speedo ring, and almost all of the space inside the ring is taken up by LCD information. So

all that's left is the tip of a tach needle moving around a chrome ring against small white

numbers that are hard to read, especially past 6000 where the numbers are red. And the stub

of the speedometer needle, with all its numbers to 140 mph, moves around outside that. It's

almost as confusing to the eye as it is to the brain to read about here.

Also, if the Fiat were as simple as they say it is, the radio would have dials for volume and

tuning, not buttons that you have to hold your finger on and take your eye off the road to

watch the digital number tick along.

Everything else is real good, especially the metal instrument panel painted the same color as

the car. And the seats, all four upholsteries, are really great. Standard cloth, premium cloth,

sport cloth. It may be referred to as cloth, but it doesn't look like cloth. They're all different

fabrics, all satisfying, as much like leather as cloth can feel. There's also optional premium

leather, but the other seats are so sharp that leather isn't missed.

And the fit is mostly right, although other reviews have complained that there's not enough

bolstering in the Sport seats; the Abarth is better in this respect and where 500 seats mightn't

be as heavily bolstered as some they do have generous padding others don't.

The steering wheel tilts to adjust but does not telescope, a feature many wish for and one the

arch-enemy Mini does better because it has both. We found front legroom adequate: One 6-

foot, 6-inch driver said he fit okay in the 500, but your inside knee will be nestled against

the relatively hard console side.

The top of the dash is vinyl and its design as simple as it gets: it's just there, and doesn't try

to be anything, like for example the new Focus that tries to be a cockpit surrounding the

driver. There are good armrests for both of the driver's elbows when holding the perfectly

sized leather-wrapped steering wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock. The Sport shift knob is about as big

and round and chrome as you can get away with. Doors cleverly lock with an inward push

of the handles. And it's a little car with big long deep door pockets, how about that.

The climate and audio systems and vents are in the center over the console, but it's not

exactly a center stack, it's less than that, while still being complete. The shift lever, whether

manual stick or automatic, rises from the bottom of the dash, a forward place where it's a

more natural reach and less-often fouled by passenger limbs.

Legroom in the rear is 31.7 inches, which is not much; we barely squeezed our briefcase

behind the driver's seat. However, with the front seats slid forward, the rear legroom is not

half-bad, but that's because the rear seat is a bench, so passengers sit upright. Fiat says it's

roomy for two adults, and we wonder what species they mean, certainly not two adult

humans. Young people running around town might not mind the squeeze, nor the climb into

or out of the rear seat. With the rear seats up, you might be able to get a pair of soft-side

carry-on bags in the back. Drop the seats and it's a little hatchback with lots of room to

throw small stuff in, through the liftgate.

The glass roof in the Lounge not only makes the interior feel more airy, it raises the ceiling,

over the headliner or optional sunroof; the sunshades have been darkened for 2013. There

are three cupholders in front and two in back, and the glovebox is ample. Navigation is

optional, a plug-in-dash unit you can take with you for security. It works with the Blue&Me

hands-free communication that's standard on all but Pop.

Driving Impressions

Each of the Fiat 500 models is quite different in the way it

drives. And the Turbo and Abarth are different breeds

altogether.

Let's start with the Fiat 500 Sport, which is truly sporty, with

a firm ride, thanks to stiffer springs and shock tuning, firmer

brakes, and quicker steering. It all adds up to a wonderfully responsive car, although the ride

isn't as relaxing as the Pop or Lounge models, especially over bumpy roads or in the city.

But if play is what you like, you'll have a blast in the Sport.

The 5-speed gearbox uses a cable linkage between shifter and transmission, which gives it a

ropey feel reminiscent of Volkswagens. We found it a bit clunky, not that much fun to shift.

The clutch is light, with a long throw. It works, however. We never missed, never fumbled,

and always got the heel-and-toe downshifts.

The Sport's red brake calipers can be seen through the 16-inch wheels in a color called

Carbide and team with firmer suspension and larger, stickier tires for good brake

performance. Brakes are the same size but stopping in the Sport is significantly more

responsive than in the Pop and Lounge (due to tires and suspension), which is good when

you're driving in a sporty manner, but it requires a soft touch around town. The Pop and

Lounge do that soft touch for you. With 10.1-inch front and 9.4-inch rear rotors, and so little

weight to bring down, getting stopped in time is never a worry in any of the models.

The 6-speed automatic transmission is available even on the Sport, and it is a transmission

you can play with. The lever location is the same in the automatic as it is in the manual

(although the knob isn't), so it feels like a stick shift. The Lounge comes standard with the

automatic, and the Pop works well with it, as a compromise. There's a Sport mode for the

automatic transmission that sharpens and delays the shifts nicely, without too much

override, so you'll still have a sporty little car. While the automatic exacts a 10 percent

penalty in EPA ratings, the real-world difference isn't that great, and acceleration

performance isn't seriously hampered because the automatic has shorter gearing than the

manual.

In the Lounge, the first thing you notice is how much looser and easier the steering is, then

the same with the ride, and the brakes. In the city, this is good. The more relaxed steering

makes the whole car feel a bit bigger, but the fixed glass roof in the Lounge has something

to do with that, too.

The Fiat 500's 1.4-liter engine features a reinvention of the cylinder head called MultiAir

technology, which results in an impressive 101 horsepower and 98 foot-pounds of torque.

MultiAir is a complex system that drives the intake valves by oil pressure actuators,

triggered by electronic control: It's truly continuously variable valve timing. One big

downside is that Premium fuel is recommended but 87-octane Regular unleaded is

acceptable, according to Fiat.

EPA estimates 31/40 mpg City/Highway with the manual, but it might be better than that;

we got 34.2 miles per gallon, revving it high and running it hard. On level highway cruising

the numbers typically ran in the low 40s. Automatics are government-rated 27/34 mpg, and

turbos are 28/34 mpg.

We've driven all the 500s, including Abarth and convertibles over winding California

mountain roads, closed courses and crowded urban centers.

We found enough acceleration to work with when passing on two-lane roads in Sport mode.

Manually shifting gears to stay in the powerband makes it fun on winding roads. It's a

momentum machine. There is little torque at low rpm. (Torque is that force that propels you

from intersections and up hills.) The power comes on at a relatively high 4000 rpm and

redlines at 6800, a point that's unfortunately hard to judge because of the difficulty of

reading the tachometer, especially the red numbers and lines over 6000 rpm. At least the rev

limiter cuts fuel gently; the engine just flattens at 6800, it doesn't nose-dive. Even at this

point, there isn't a lot of horsepower. The second- and third-gear ratios are far apart, so in

some situations you're either revving high in second gear or lugging in third gear.

One treat is that the engine feels like it's ready to shift at 5000 rpm, and it certainly can be

shifted there and still maintain momentum, but it just keeps putting out for another 2000

rpm, pleasantly surprising you. Another pleasing aspect is that 80 mph in 5th gear is only

3300 rpm, and on level ground it glides fairly effortlessly at that speed. Ninety miles per

hour in 4th gear is still only 5000 rpm. Do the math and that's a theoretical top speed of 153

mph in 4th gear; fat chance, but the sweet engine fools you into thinking it might just be

capable. And it's reasonably quiet too, thanks to hydraulic engine mounts and extra sound

deadening material.

The Turbo and Abarth are different animals, as every mechanical component is upgraded:

engine, drivetrain, brakes, suspension, and electrics.

Fitted with a turbocharger, dual air-to-air intercoolers and pistons that enable a slightly

lower compression ratio, a Fiat 500 Turbo generates 135 hp and 150 pound-feet of torque, a

50-percent torque gain on the base car. That drops 0-60 mph acceleration time from the

lethargic 10-second range to mid-8s and makes it a much more flexible engine around town

that needn't be revved much. With the same brakes and bodywork you can think of this as a

light-pressure Abarth, a nice mid-point between a Sport and the lunatic Abarth.

The Abarth turbo pushes air into the engine at up to 18 psi. That allows 160 horsepower and

170 pound-feet of torque, both at much lower revs than the 500, so the Abarth is not only

substantially quicker it's also more relaxed, pushing full-steam by 3000 rpm rather than

6000. All that midrange torque means you play with the shifter as much for audio as for

propulsion.

The Abarth model is quick only compared to a Fiat 500, a Smart car or other slow

econoboxes. Still, 0-60 mph in about 7 seconds is plenty brisk and the Abarth can still do

25-35 mpg in daily driving. Alas, the blat and blare from the exhaust is loud like a piston-

engine airplane and intoxicating, enough that onlookers often turn looking for a motorcycle.

It's fun at times, but could wear for some owners.

The Abarth's 5-speed manual gearbox is stronger and has a tighter shifter than the standard

Fiat 500. It's an improvement, but it is not on par with the best. No automatic is offered for

Turbo or Abarth.

Front brakes are larger and do everything the Sport's do, only better. Sixteen-inch wheels are

standard but unless you have really bad roads, the Abarth's forged 17-inch alloy and Pirelli

combo should be factored in to your budget.

With an added rear antiroll bar and Koni FSD shocks not used on the Turbo, the Abarth

changes direction quickly, rotates nicely off-throttle (for sharper response when turning into

a tight corner) and offers good grip. It's very nimble, fun to drive and the relatively high

seating position and 12-foot length make child's play of urban traffic. Both downsides are

related to the relatively fat, low-profile tires: Those downsides are a busy ride on marginal

road surfaces and the need for 38 feet of road for a U-turn, a full 7 feet more than a standard

500 and comparable to that of a midsize sedan.

To ensure full Abarth thrills, the electronic stability control system offers three modes,

including full-off. An Abarth purchase includes a day of professional instruction with the

Abarth Driving Experience, and we highly recommend that because it's fun.

Summary

The Fiat 500 is a tiny, high-mileage, low-cost, four-seat car

that has the style and performance of an Italian car, with a

five-star crash rating from the government. It's 6 inches

shorter than a comparable Mini and about $4000 less

expensive, be it coupe, convertible, Turbo or Abarth, while

bringing a fun-factor that similar Asian cars can't match.

2013 Fiat 500 Consumer Review

Lotsa! FUN!

By bwbroo on 05/23/13 16:22 PM (PDT)

Vehicle

2013 FIAT 500 Pop 2dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

This is a good (great) driving car. A pleasure to drive. I have the basic model and still it has quite

abit extra's. I'am a driver and like the fun of driving a solid steering car. This one goes from a

regular driving car to a Ferrari when the sports button is engaged/push at the console. Great for

curvy roads and parking lots or anytime. On the hwy I leave it regular mode and just cruise. Did

I tell you it has cruise control too. Anyway don't push the OMG button unless - are you

experienced - (Hendrix) I have the auto transmission and this is great. I'am 60 and this shifts a lot

in the sports mode (OMG). There you have it.

Favorite Features

OMG button, Roomy front only, ease of all controls. I like the whole package. This is the wine

and coastal car.

Suggested Improvements

If it works don't fix it.

2013 FIAT 500 Pop 2dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Purchased my 2013 10 days ago. I'm impressed and very excited. The value of the Pop for the

money cannot be overstated. After researching many used cars and new I was thrilled to pay

$15,560 out-the-door for a new car with 4 year warranty, comfortable ride, fun ride, cruise

control, power windows, usb, bluetooth... It does great on freeways and curvy roads. The Sport

button is especially fun on the curvy roads. Parking and maneuvering is great. Excellent gas

mileage - exceeds the 31-40 mpg ratings. The car meets the needs and satisfies the wants. The

engine delivers. I pulled the rear headrests and keep the rear seat down and enjoy the open space

in the back.

Favorite Features

Value is outstanding. Overall - just great driving pleasure. I like manuals and shifting is good. .

Some smart things I like: The finger control audio buttons on the rear of the steering wheel. The

drivers side mirror is split so you eliminate the blind spot behind you. The location of the shifter

is superb. Rear window defroster and wiper.

Suggested Improvements

the eco-drive software is less than perfect. I put in a usb stick and it continuously says it

upgraded the software, but never moves on. So I just pulled the usb stick and have skipped

gathering driving metrics for now. Too bad as I was curious how I was doing.

CARFAX Price Adjustment™

Accidents, service records, number of owners and many other history factors can affect a vehicle's value. The CARFAX Price

Adjustment is a tool that analyzes millions of used car transactions to measure how the combination of all the information reported to

CARFAX affects the value of a particular vehicle. The vehicle's retail book value plus the CARFAX Price Adjustment will give you a

more accurate measure of the vehicle's value. Use this tool, along with a vehicle inspection and test drive, to make a better decision

about your next used car.

sometimes opt to take ownership of a vehicle and are required to in the following states: Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio,

Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and South Dakota. Please consider this as you review a vehicle's estimated ownership history.

Customer Testimonials

“I am a 1st time BMW owner. The attention and service I rec'd was 10 times more

than I expected. From the initial meeting with my service advisor, courtesy ride,

vehicle maintenance, the waiting area - EVERYONE was polite and attentive. I was

blown away by your services. A bond of trust was established and I have

committed myself to your facilities. Already, I have and will continue to share my

experience with co-workers. I look forward to doing business with BMW of

Sterling again. In short - you guys closed the deal...Thanks a million! ...”

“I was pleased that I could actually schedule a time for my appt. My service

advisor (Ben) was available at that time. He said 45 min to look over car - and

that's what it took. He explained what needed to be done and offered a rental car

for the day. The rental was a huge help. Car was ready when promised. Everyone -

from Ben to the Enterprise service (Kathleen I think) to people in the showroom

and those who brought my car - were all extremely helpful and polite.”

“BMW of Sterling is first class! I have serviced my BMWs and purchased my

current BMW from them and will continue to in the future. I always recommend

them to everyone. Shawn Peace (service advisor) is wonderful! The customer

comes first and this is true across the board at BMW of Sterling ... sales, service,

etc”

“Shawn's a great service advisor. Everyone was so friendly from the moment i

stepped out of my car until my car was done and picked up. The service is

exceptional, and i didn't meet a single person i interacted with without smile on

their face. Thank you so much, and I will definitely recommend everyone to get

their cars from BMW of Sterling!”

“Jim Eddy was absolutely terrific, as usual. He always makes us feel like we're his

top priority, and leaves no detail regarding the car to chance. He also always

follows up very promptly with any additional consultation by phone, and then

explains the entire service process upon picking up the car. We are grateful to

have him as our service advisor and commend BMW of Sterling for having him on

their staff.”

“This was my first service experience at BMW of Sterling. I purchased a previously

owned BMW from a private owner and I was treated no different from someone

who purchased a vehicle at BMW of Sterling. The service rendering was done in

the time frame promised and I was pleasantly surprised to get my car back clean

and washed. I will be back for all my service needs. Thank you.

“Shawn is my service rep and an OUTSTANDING representative of your business.

This is my first BMW and I couldn't be more elated with his willingness to educate

me on the processes and care. My satisfaction is always his paramount concern.

Thanks again for the service and HAPPY HOLIDAYS”
