would not recommend this place if you have to do business with the Service Manager, Henry. I called Blackburn a few days before I was planning on coming in to get my car serviced because I knew I needed a belt replaced and I wanted to make sure that the part was in stock before I arrived so my car would not be in the shop for several days. I asked to make an appointment but was told it was not necessary. I talked to Henry the Service Parts Manager and he informed me that the belt for my Nissan was in stock and it would be no problem to come the first of next week and they would get everything taken care of. I brought my car to the shop in the morning and in the afternoon I got a call saying the did not have a belt for my car and the part would need to be ordered. I asked what happened to the belt and Palmer (i think that was his name) said he had no idea so I asked for the manager to see if maybe he knew. The manager (Henry) told me he had no idea where the part was because he worked in service and not inventory or parts. I told the manager I called and talked to someone who said the belt was in stock and the manager asked who I talked to...it was him...Henry in the Service Department. He had absolutely no recollection of talking to me and confirming the part was in stock. He told me I don't know what happened to the part but the best we can do is order another one to come in tomorrow. I told him the whole reason I called ahead was so that my car would not have to sit in the shop and asked if he could tell me what happened to the belt that was previously in stock. He said he has to go to a managers meeting and he would ask the parts manager. The parts manager forgot he put the belt aside for my car. I also asked for a quote on my car for work documentation where the guard rail had come down on the drivers side and scratched the paint as well as leaving paint scuffs. I was not given a quote. I was told that they just buffed it out, however I was not asked before hand if that was okay. There are still scratches in my car, deeper than just paint, from the guard rail and I cannot get another quote because the damage is only partially taken off and the work was not even completely finished. I would definitely not recommend this place to get your car repaired as they do not keep an inventory of what they have and the communication between departments is non-existent according to Henry.
