PWO receives genuinely strong praise from several customers for knowledgeable, patient, and helpful staff — particularly named employees like RJ, Gabriel, Andrew, and Carlos — which drives a moderate professionalism score. However, this is significantly offset by multiple negative reviews citing rude behavior, an owner who reportedly ejected a customer, and a rigid all-sales-final policy that left customers feeling mistreated.
