Oil change appointment at 9:30. Checked in at 9:10. It’s 10:45 - they haven’t started on my car yet. They don’t let you know until you ask. They just expect you to wait. More

Derek was great, as usual. The service manager was dismal. I waited 2.5 hours for an oil change and tire rotation. That is unacceptable. More
