“Brad from GM Mechanical is amazing. Very professional, personable and considerate. Called when he was 5 minutes away so I wasn’t wasting my time waiting. Diagnosed and fixed issue with my furnace in minutes. Also took away my old dirty filters that I had laying around, talk about service!!!! Thank you GM & thank you Brad. Highly recommend and will definitely use again.” — Joe W.

It’s these small but powerful actions that separate a good tech from a great one. Brad treats every home with respect, every customer with care, and every job with precision.
