Honest and reliable.
It was worth hiring the service, the PAT team was very kind to us and explained every detail to us, they resolved all my doubts.
On one of the outings, mobility left some accessories forgotten, but they knew how to store them and then give them to me with the greatest kindness.
Pleasant experience.
