This place is horrible. After calling yesterday and being told to bring the car in between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. I made arrangements to get a ride because I was told I would have to leave it. I went there today and dealt with Diego who looked like he was sitting there and answering the phones. If I could give no stars to this dump I would. Diego was such a smart aleck! He actually mimicked me, an elderly white woman, and the way I spoke as soon as I walked in. He snickered at the way that I tripped on his unstable rug and bar stools that blocked the doorway. He refused to accept the car for service, even though yesterday, someone answering the phones told me I could bring it before 1:00 and I did. Diego sent me on a wild goose chase looking around for another shop that he claimed was nearby that was also called Alvarez which I couldn't find. My car is barely drivable! And he knew that! Yet he still sends me out on this wild goose hunt for this other shop which I couldn't find. I don't even think it exists but I could be wrong. So, the point is, I go back to him and actually say " I'm begging you; please let me leave the car to look at tomorrow because it's very hard for me to get rides" especially at 8:00 a.m. . Because at this point he was demanding that it be dropped off exactly at 8:00 a.m. and that was the only way it could be serviced. But the entire time, it was really weird because I could see he's very subtly making fun of me, and the situation saying oh well, over and over and over again no matter what I said. He keeps shrugging his shoulders and saying oh well like he didn't have a care in the world. He even admitted that the phone number associated with their website is wrong and that he needed to update it when I showed him the website and the phone number that I called. I would think that fact alone, that Alvarez can't even keep their website updated, would have caused him to have some feeling of responsibility or mercy. But no. I felt like crying because it's so hard to get rides and the car is too dangerous to drive and yet he just was completely cold, stone-faced, and rude. Anyone considering going there should just know ahead of time that you may be lied to about drop off times, and the people they have doing customer service, as soon as you walk in, are rude and condescending. Would not trust any quote they gave me nor their opinion on what is wrong with my car based on their customer service alone. They come across as untrustworthy. Oh, and make sure you don't trip on their rug and bar stools. Who laughs at an elderly woman that almost falls on the floor because of a bad rug and chairs that block the door? Who does that? I have had four spine surgeries and a knee replacement in the last 3 years. They just don't deserve any business. That type of person and business is untrustworthy in my opinion. If they employ individuals with personalities like Diego, who was condescending and haughty God only knows what they may do to your car. These are my opinions and I'm leaving them here to warn you: I WOULD NOT GIVE THEM THE TIME OF DAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE. Whatever it was, they give you the runaround and they're rude. They obviously are making plenty of money so they don't need my business and maybe they don't need yours. Better yet, they don't DESERVE your business. read more
