I do NOT recommend this dealership for any car repairs. In March 2025, I had a TPMS sensor replaced there. I continued having issues afterward, so I brought my car to Firestone Complete Auto Care for a sec More

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We would like to clarify the timeline and findings related to your TPMS repairs. In October, we replaced the left front TPMS sensor battery. In March 2025, we replaced the left rear TPMS sensor. At that March visit, our diagnostic scan showed low voltage history codes present for all four sensors. This was documented on the invoice at that time, and we recommended replacement of all four sensors due to their age and low voltage readings. You elected to replace only the one failed sensor. When you returned recently stating the left front sensor should be covered under warranty, we performed a full diagnostic inspection. Our scan tool again showed history low-voltage codes on all four wheels. You had also recently had tires installed at another facility. We cleared the warning light, test drove the vehicle until the light returned, and then removed the left front wheel for inspection. At that time, we found the left front sensor reading low voltage and also found it loose and attached to an aftermarket valve stem that had been installed by the tire shop. Because the sensor was no longer mounted to the original Subaru valve stem assembly and had been altered during the tire installation, this condition falls outside of warranty coverage guidelines. Our dealership is fully transparent, and we did review and show you the issues we found during our inspection. While we did not charge you for the time spent diagnosing this matter, we do encourage you to return to the facility that installed your tires so they can address and correct the issues caused during that service.

@EmilyTaylor - we are surprised about this review - as, we assisted your mom with this vehicle last July. She was more than appreciative for the efforts we made. We have heard nothing since last July. You had also posted a negative review at the time - of which your mother was surprised about - a nd, indicated to us that she thought was unfair given our efforts to assist. We do have emails back and forth that confirm this - and, her acknowledgement of our efforts on your behalf. We will advise Dealerrater/Google and other review sites that you are continuing to engage in submitting duplicate reviews
