I've been going to this Merlin's for some time now, wanting to find a consistent place to bring my…read morecar to get repaired without worrying about paying for service I don't need. I've found while they suggest things during an oil change, they don't pressure me into anything or make me feel like an idiot for not doing whatever it is at that time. They seem to have a clear understanding of my budget and respect my decisions. Unfortunately (for me), I've had several unanticipated repairs for both my cars this summer; but it wasn't until this last one where the Cary Merlin's proved their worth. I'll spare you all the details and make a long story short. My rebuilt transmission gave out just a few months outside the warrantee and at the owner's expense he made things right. There were extenuating circumstances from the original repair, so I'm not saying they will do this as a matter of practice, but the bottom line is Jeff worked with me because he wanted my business. I have found customer service is a lost art these days and pride in one's work is just as nonexistent. It may have taken more tries than I would have liked, but this shop did the right thing by me and they will get my return business every time. There surely are cheaper places out there, but in the end you always get what you pay for ... For me, the peace of mind that I have an owner willing to stand by his work is worth way more than the few bucks I could possibly save elsewhere.

I had a simple oil leak coming from the valve cover (it was torqued down incorrectly from the…read moredealership and they used the wrong gasket sealant) and from the plastic oil pan on my 2015 Volkswagen GTI. The Firestone Conplete Auto Care in Round Lake Beach had been my goto place for maintenance and auto repairs since 2010 and for my parents since 2005. They had good quality and reliable service for a fair price. They were a service provider I trusted. If three repeated return trips, they didn't torque down valve covet and couldn't find why the leak was persistent and insisted that the leak was coming from the oil sensor on the oil pan. I agreed to having the sensor replaced and took the car home, only to find a large puddle of fresh, clean oil on my garage floor. I took the car back and they said it must be coming from the oil pan, since plastic pans have been a known source of oil leaks. Talking it over with one of the managers, we decided that a metal replacement oil pan should solve the problem once and for all. The repair was completed that day and I took the car home. The next morning an even larger oil puddle was found under my car. Frustrated, I took my vehicle to a much more expensive Eruopean car specialist. They did what the technicians at Firestone failed to do: Find the source of the leak. You pour fluorescent dye in the oil. Run the vehicle for a few minutes. Take a black light and look where the oil is escaping from. They found the head gasket / valve cover issue and the oil pan were not properly sealed. On top of that, Firestone had not replaced the plastic oil pan with a metal one! I had this garage replace the plastic pan with a metal pan (since the engines are the same, the Mk 8 GTI metal oil pan will fit on a Mk 7. There are also aftermarket metal pans available from a variety of vendors.). They torqued and sealed everything down properly and I paid foe the service, glad that the problem was finally resolved, but disappointed that Firestone had failed miserably. I went to confront the Firestone store manager (after he was unavailable for a few days), and showed him the service bill that the other garage did and asked why they replaced the plastic oil pan with another plastic one after we both decided that a metal one would be a better solution. He told me that Volkswagen did not make a metal oil pan and that plastic ones were the only available oil pans for my car. That was a flat out lie that could easily be fact checked on any smart phone. I as I still had the website for ECS Tuning screenshot on my phone, I showed it to him with at least three different aftermarket, metal oil pans for the Volkswagen EA888 2.0 TDI engine. I then showed him another website for UroTuning for another alternate metal oil pan. He eventually reimbursed for the work on the oil pan, refunded the part. I told him that he didn't have to refund the oil sensor or the labor for that as that was my fault for not doing my due diligence in overseeing their work. I also expressed by disappointment and frustration with their poor service. But, I held back. I was angry and felt betrayed for being lied to. I understand that they had young, inexperienced technicians, but you don't cover for their mistakes by lying to your customers, especially loyal ones that have been returning for over 15 years. While we kept the conversation polite and professional, I was seething beneath it all. Not because of the service failure, although that was frustrating. That could be forgiven by resolving the car problem and owning up to their shortcomings. Lying straight to my face... that was disrespectful. I'm no automotive genius. But, I know a few things about cars and I conduct myself accordingly. I drive an enthusiast's car with some light modifications. I enjoy talking about car performance and driving. That should have been evident. Don't tell me what part isn't available for my car and expect me to just blindly accept that as truth. That was never going to be a winning strategy. If I can't trust a service shop to be honest with me with major repairs, how could I trust them with simple items like brakes, tires, or oil changes, let alone more serious things like diagnostics? Your experience with Round Lake Beach Firestone Auto Care may differ, but I wouldn't take any vehicle that I cared about there or reward them with my business. Violated trust cannot be easily regained and I just don't trust them anymore.
