Mr. Naughton, I apologize that you feel this way. Your original concern was that you were not going to pay for the oil change because you did not authorize one to be performed. In listening to your request at the time of the appointment this was the reason you made your appointment. Leah was very thorough with you in stating that the oil change was part of your service which you confirmed with her. Part of our repair process is to perform a complimentary multi point inspection. We have tire experts we hire from an outside vendor to assist our customers to find the best tire for their needs. It would not be good business practice to recommend services that are not needed. That is not how we have built our business. I am happy to speak with you personally if you would like to further discuss. Kind Regards, Paige Carlson

The concern was simply that I was told, when I dropped the car off, that there would be no charge for the service because it was part of a pre-paid plan. Sometime between then and when the oil change was completed it must have been discovered that there were no more pre-paid oil changes despite what I was told. And, no one came to tell me this before performing the work. So the charge was a shock to me - as was the in which it was handled considering that the service manager told me that to resolve the issue he would put the used oil back in my car and that he could charge me $100 just because I left the car with them. Mistakes can be made. It is the way in which we handle them that counts - this was not handled correctly.

Hello, Adam, I have met with Ryan and reviewed most of the email communication. I want to address both issues you raise in your review. First, the plates/title. We have confirmed via the tracking system that the out of state DMV received the title application on 1/25. Have you still not received your plates? I will be sending you a follow up email to communicate with you offline. Second, the issue raised on the gas gauge. We were all set to come get the vehicle from you, provide you with a loaner and repair the issue. However, it appears you are mechanically inclined and repaired the issue yourself. I am sorry you had to do it yourself as we would have been happy to fix the issue. I will be reaching out to you on Monday to discuss further. Thank you for your time. I do hope you have a nice weekend. Kind Regards, Paige Carlson

I have finally received plates last week. That is news to me what you were willing to do with the gas gauge.
