Excellent service with good pricing. Ken swapped out my sodastream cylinders with filled ones and took my larger paintball canisters back to fill them at his place.
Easy and fast to communicate with him, he's prompt and like the service. Will definitely use again, and would recommend to anyone looking to either refill their sodamod canisters or refill their sodastream ones.

Thank you Erik for your review of my services! Most consumers don’t post reviews and whenever they do I really appreciate it! Thank you for trusting me and I hope I never disappoint. Thx. Ken
I love Lakeview Montessori. My son attended for a year, from age 3 to age 4. The teachers and staff are exceptionally caring and work hard to accommodate, the facilities are very nice, and the overall philosophy is both structured yet relaxed.
We discovered Lakeview at a preschool fair, and liked that it was Montessori-based, open until 5:30 PM, and clicked with the director, Sheila (she's great). We toured the school and were quite surprised at how big, nice and new the facilities were. It is located at the end of a dead-end street that is all industrial, but as you pull into its long driveway, it opens to show a nice, new building with a large, nicely maintained playground.
We came to like Lakeview even more after our son started. He was exceptionally shy, and took time for him to acclimate. But his teachers (kudos to Nalinee, Alicia and staff) worked with him to help bring him out of his shell.
Lakeview did an exceptional job preparing my son for kindergarten. Before he turned four, he could write all the letters, write his name, count to 100 (with a little help), and know the alphabet. I was impressed with some of the jobs the kids would do - tracing, letters, art projects, etc.
We moved and left the bay area, but my son still asks to go back to Lakeview. Moreover, now that he has started at his new Montessori school, I have come to appreciate Lakeview even more. My son's new school is more rigid and perhaps a bit too dogmatic with both Montessori principles and other rules (e.g., no celebrating birthdays with sweet snacks). Lakeview felt "just right" with its balance of Montessori principles (jobs, materials, teaching) and structure while still feeling relaxed.
I would recommend any parent considering preschool to consider and tour Lakeview. It's excellent.
I believe this business is closed, but unfortunately, the website and its systems are still running. I was able to go to the website, schedule an appointment, get an automated text message about my appointment, and have it added to Google calendar.
However, nobody showed today, and when calling the phone (area code 279), no answer and no outgoing message.
In summary, this company is just not ready for primetime. I used their service three times, and had good experience with the first two mechanics, and the third never showed up.
While this was frustrating, their customer service was not only unhelpful, but also made the situation worse. I had a repair scheduled for Sunday, but the mechanic didn't show. When I called customer support, they were unable to get a hold of the mechanic, get a hold of another mechanic, or schedule a follow up appointment (it was Sunday).
Instead, they scheduled a follow up phone call for the following morning at 8:30 AM. That appointment was missed as well. It took me trying to call them multiple times before I finally was able to get a hold of someone. Once I did, I then took hours (yes, well over 2 hours!) to get the issue resolved and a new appointment scheduled (IT issues on their end and having to speak to multiple people).
I would not recommend this service to anyone. Their customer service team lacks desire to understand and has little customer empathy. If they were a brand new company, I could understand their their lack of training and poor IT systems. But this company has been around for years now. If they are not ready primetime yet, they never will be. Stay away.

I agree with the other reviewer. This is infinitely better than the other liquor store in town. Knowledgeable, friendly staff with very good pricing. Not the biggest space, but for the size of the store, they manage to have a very good selection. And the prices are very good (much lower than elsewhere in town).
