On top of that, they added an extra $50 charge on the invoice without clearly explaining what it was for. When I called to ask, the person told me it was "for materials they use in the shop like rugs and stuff." Honestly, that's the first time I've ever heard something like that. I had the same work done on the same car at another shop for almost half the price. Be careful and make sure to get a detailed estimate before agreeing to any work here.

They said it would be approximately an hour, and offered me a courtesy ride home. I decided to just wait. The waiting area was extremely clean. Very comfortable seating.

I was asked if I was ok & if I needed anything. They honored the coupon I received in the mail. Brought my vehicle up to the front door. Very nice experience. Highly recommend this business.

At a Mini mechanic claiming the same issue!RIP OFF! Went to my local mechanic and he said they were not being honest! since the owner wants to attack me, I was at this shop once before and it was a positive interaction however they said they cleared all my check, engine, lights and warning lights! Once I drove around for a few days, those lights all came back on and I purchased a scanner to figure out what was going on. Turns out that they could've easily figured out that all I needed was a Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid . So after two visits to the shop, not only did they not diagnose it, but it causes me to fail my inspection so then I had to purchase a reader and then fixed it myself! and they said that my warning lights for my headlights and my tail lights were short! So I bought headlights myself and put them in and the tail light was an easy fix, but they couldn't figure this out either! This shop is a farce. Don't trust them whatsoever the owners arguing with me over their failure to actually do a good job for their customers! This car runs great and I take care of it and have every maintenance done that I can as it's driven all across the country for over 107,000 miles so for you to question my upkeep of it is offensive!!!

After the checkup was done the seller said everything is…read morefine just a few maintanance things which was a weird comment to say for a car at almost 150k miles with a title that was dated years ago, so I called and asked about the car. Everyone I spoke to begrugedly told me they did the testing everything's fine. "That's not what the seller said". I got a response who are you then? Me? A random person calling like what kind of question is that. Eventually got transferred to the person who checked the car and actually knew which car I was talking about. Reluctantly he said there is nothing wrong with it just the brake fluid need to be changed and wheels. I asked him if any of it was serious I'm trying to buy the car he responded that he doesn't intend on having a van or to drive it so it doesn't matter to him What a smartass of a response! Anyway I went to another mechanic and paid him as well first thing he checked was antifreeze fluid which didn't hold pressure like what kind of fixerupper are you working at the Firestone that you took my money, refused to explain any issues of what you found and didn't even look under the hood to see a major issue staring right in your stupid face. What a joke.

I scheduled my car for an alignment after installing a new control arm. They called and were able…read moreto get me in earlier. There were two men on the clock, both of which were very nice and knew what they were doing. Overall I had a great experience. They were able to get me in and out quickly. Customer service was top tier. The alignment is a bit pricier than some places at $150. They were able to do this within an hour. Now, I understand this place was terrible before. The staff specifically. (I went through the last reviews and did some digging of my own.) To my understanding the entire staff was recently let go within the last month or so for how they treated clients and their vehicles. It looks like they're on the right track to correcting the issues and the two men I worked with, Tony and I can't recall the other fellow's name, were great. I'll be returning in the future and will keep you all posted on the experience when that time comes.

Picked up a nail driving down Folly Rd. Being out of town we stopped at the first place we happened…read moreto see for tires. Was quoted $600 for one tire. Insane but we are trapped and I don't want to spend vacation shopping so fine let's get this done now. There are no other customers so how long could it take? Well the guy just goes and disappears for 15 minutes then comes out to get my keys. Rather than moving my vehicle into a service bay he parks it sideways across their ramp so that it sits at an angle. The whole time is constantly texting on his phone, presumably to ask how to do all this I think. He disappears again before jacking the car up finally. We are now pushing an 40 mins and all he has done is move my car to the least level spot before jacking it up. He now tries to take the lug bolts off but has no idea how to use the air hammer and tries using it without the compressor turned on. Quickly texting again. He goes back and gets the compressor on and spins the air hammer. Tries to take the lug nuts off but is spinning it the wrong direction. Hour in and the wheel is not off and only this idiot is now staring at his phone trying to get someone to text him how to do literally everything. Should have fired him half an hour ago but pull the trigger and tell him to put it down as I have no confidence he is going to do any of that s right. Tore still has pressure I'll go put on the spare myself and find somewhere competent to do this. If you find yourself with 4 flat tires in the parking lot of this place for the love of God call a tow truck to take you anywhere else.

It's not expected but it is appreciated. The rose brightened up my day as well. Thank you to the folks at Gerald's - I'll always recommend you to friends and family. Sidenote - park along the grassy areas back around the neighborhood or if in the parking lot, look for the green pole posts. If not, car may get towed while waiting to be serviced. The parking lot in the back is mostly reserved for the shopping area patrons.

Can't say enough about my experience.

And they recommended a place that specializes in finding issues that no one else can. I did't end up going, because just like everywhere else they said it would be like $200 just to look at it. Pass. It ended up getting fixed so I'm good on that. But this review is about my current service for brakes and tires. I have an olllllddddd car so this won't be the same for everyone but I got out of there with new back brakes, rotors, etc. plus 4 new tires for under $900!! Dude - I have NEVER paid this amount ever for brakes and tires. I almost cried. They also told me that my shocks, that another dealer said I needed to get done, were absolutely FINE! That other place was gonna charge me like almost $3k!!! Anywho, dropped off the car at 7:30am and they were done shortly after 1pm. With the amount of work already lined up - I was shocked. I thought for sure it would be done the next day. Lastly, I got there at like 7:10am to wait and there was already a line but their procedures for this (which apparently they're used to) were so organized snd efficient and got everyone checked in and out the door in less than like 15 minutes. I've never seen that. They also clapped for us as we entered. That really caught me off guard, but I thought it was kinda cool and cute. Who does like an applause?? lol I am blown away right now.
