I went in to speak my concern with brake work that had been done and what I was charged for. They took pictures and stated that I would hear from someone on Monday (this was early Friday). I took my 3500 truck in to have a vibration looked at. Told them to inspect the suspension and brakes. They called and told me the front rotors were warped and the rears were glazed. They recommended to replace front and rear pads/rotors. I asked if the calipers were fine, Alexis stated they were fine. This is the first time I spoke with her, I started with Philip the manager. I agreed to have them do the front and rear pads/rotors. First thing the next morning I get another call from Alexis stating that all 4 calipers need to be replaced. I asked what changed since the inspection the previous day where I was told they were fine. She stated that they were all seized. They stated an additional almost $1800 for the calipers only. I declined and stated to just put it back together and I will pick it up early afternoon. Shortly after hanging up I received another call back from Alexis. She stated she was still going to have to charge me for the front and rear pads/rotors since I authorized this the previous day and that the work had already been performed. I acknowledged and was ok with this since I did approve the work. I arrived at the shop at 1:05, early afternoon like I stated. My truck is on the lift with rear and front tires off. I go in to ask for my truck, she stated that I said early afternoon for pick up. 1:05 is early afternoon to me. I asked why there is still old rotors on the back when I was told on the phone that the front and rear pad/rotors were already replaced. Alexis told me that they took the new stuff back off and put the old back on. I inquired about the logic behind this. The manager, Philip stepped over. I said to put it back together and I will pay for the work that had been done. I ended up paying for front pads/rotors. She stated they were having a hard time getting the calipers back on the front since there is new pads. I went to Art's auto and picked up all four calipers to change them out the next morning. When I took the front calipers off, I was shocked to see the lack of work performed. On the invoice I was charged 269.98 for pads/rotors which "includes cleaning and lubrication of brake components." They put brand new pads on, did not replace the shims with the new ones, nor did they clean or lubricant the old existing. They did not clean the slide pins at all. I went in and spoke to Alexis about this. Philip was off that day. I brought the old calipers in to show this lack of work that I was charged for. When I came in, I was polite, asked to speak about my bill and a concern I have to work that was done. I asked to speak in private so the waiting room people would not hear about the kind of work that was done. I was told that I would hear back from either Philip or his boss Dan. I did not hear back from either about my concerns of doing honest, good faith work. I 100% will not trust this place to do work again, nor would I recommend anyone else use them unless it's just putting tires on. I attempted to allow them to make it right and hear my concerns, which they chose not to do either. Disappointed to say the least. I wish this would let me post the pictures of how nasty the shims and slide pins were.

I was told they don't provide quotes unless the vehicle is in the shop by appointment. When I explained that my Jeep was already there, I was still met with a dismissive response. I also asked for a rough estimate on the cost of the parts and was told they couldn't provide any information, only that labor was around $150 per hour. I completely understand that every repair is different and that an exact quote may require an inspection. My disappointment wasn't with their policy, it was with the way I was treated. The interaction felt abrupt, unfriendly, and lacking the customer service I would expect from a business trying to earn a new customer's trust. A little kindness and professionalism go a long way. Even if the answer couldn't change, a more courteous approach would have left a much better impression.

On Tuesday night, we noticed the car making a noise and had a low tire we had to fill with air. I looked on Yelp, and contacted Marathon Automotive early the next morning and they told us to come in. Once we got there, we waited for approximately a half hour while they assessed our car. They could not find anything wrong with the tire, but did find two other issues (one which was not a safety issue and could wait if we wanted, but the other would probably cause us to break down on the way home). While they were fixing everything, their driver took us in to town so that we could shop around and eat some lunch. Our car was then ready much more quickly than anticipated, and the driver returned to pick us up. Overall, our experience with Marathon Automotive was excellent. The reason I gave them a 4 instead of a 5 was because on our way home Thursday, we did have another issue with the tire and had to have a hole patched at a gas station. I feel that this was something that had to have missed when inspecting the tire since we already had to fill it and were concerned with a hole.

New Garfield Auto performed a complete brake job on our van…read more1.5 years ago (21,000 miles). They replaced calipers with rebuilt ones (why not replace with new calipers??)in which one caliper failed and caused premature wear on the pads and rotors. The pads were worn down to the metal forcing us to need another complete brake job on the rear brakes again (in 21,000 miles). They also did not properly run the brake lines or bleed them correctly. We attempted to work with Garfield Auto to come to a resolution but they were not interested in helping us. Very poor customer service and poor workmanship. I highly advise avoiding this Auto service center.

My wife took our Jeep Commander in for some front end work recently. They did do a good job on the…read morerepairs and it was relatively inexpensive, but it was their putting everything back together that has me extremely t'd off right now. When the tires were put back on the lug nuts were tightened down so tight that they were nearly impossible to get off. Actually, one is so stripped I'm going to have to take it to A DIFFERENT SHOP to get removed. They obviously used the air ratchet to torque the bolts down. How do I know this, because I'm a 215lb adult male who had to stand on the freaking lug wrench and bounce to get them to turn ever so slightly. I shouldn't have to stand on the freaking lug wrench and bounce to get them to turn, I should simply be able to use arm muscle and body weight alone to remove the lug nut. What if my wife were had a flat in the middle of a no-cell reception area and had to remove the tire herself? She wouldn't have been able to that's for damned sure, and she should be able. Over tightening lug nuts can strip bolts, weaken the threads which can cause the wheel to come loose or off, or warp the brake rotor causing brake failure. All of which I'm sure Garfield Auto Center knows, but I mean we were a customer right, maybe what they do know they think that we don't know, maybe they think we will take our vehicle in for them to fix when this happens. I won't. My wife won't, again. And I'm hoping this review will cause you to think before you go to them. Maybe I should give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was a new guy working on the Jeep, maybe they were in a hurry to get to lunch or end their day and just used the air gun. Well, maybe my wife was taking my children to Grand Rapids for the day and lost a tire on US131 doing 75MPH. My families safety is more important than their excuse. I won't be back, and I won't recommend them to my friends, family, coworkers, or even my worst enemies.
