Hi Stacy,Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with our auto repair shop. We are so glad you were pleased with our service and turnaround time. In our shop, we have a door that might appear to look like a restroom but it is a door to a staircase to access our office on the second floor. We do not have a restroom in our shop, we apologize for the inconvenience and hope you understand.
