Quick Response to Email request
Marcus Muller at Discover Cars responded within 1 hour to my request for correcting an email address I'd entered in error. Not only making the correction, he replied to me to say that he had fulfilled my request! Honestly, I was surprised to even hear back, but it was reassuring to know that it had been done.
