We’re sorry your visit began with such a frustrating experience and that you felt overlooked when you arrived for service. Having to wait while others who arrived after you were helped first is understandably discouraging, especially when you were already waiting for assistance. We also regret that your vehicle was kept for 10 days without a proactive update and that you had to make every effort to find out what was happening. Finding trash left inside the vehicle and grease on the license plate and exterior only added to the frustration. Your feedback regarding the customer service, communication, service time, and condition of the vehicle at pickup has been shared with our management team for review.

Put repairs needed for someone else's car on my invoice. All services supposedly performed on my vehicle still show as needed services.I am obviously not a happy customer and do not recommend them. More

We’re sorry for the confusion and frustration caused by the services listed on your invoice. We understand how concerning it would be to see repairs you believe were intended for another vehicle, while services you understood to have been completed are still showing as needed. We also understand why this would leave you questioning the accuracy of the work performed and the information provided on your invoice. Your concerns regarding the invoice, service recommendations, and accuracy of the records have been shared with our management team for review. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
