My car suffered damage as a result of the service provided:
To the Corporate Team of Brake Masters,
I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning incident that occurred during a recent visit to Brake Masters on August 24, 2023. I entrusted my Kia K5, a recent model, to your facility for an oil change service, but unfortunately, this experience has left me deeply disappointed and concerned for both my vehicle's safety and my own.
A few days after the service, I noticed a significant issue when oil began leaking from my vehicle. This situation prompted me to immediately pull over and call a towing company to transport my car to the authorized Kia dealership for inspection and necessary repairs. To my shock, they discovered that the service drain plug had been completely removed and was missing. Furthermore, the leaked oil had caused damage to the engine undercover, necessitating its replacement. Regrettably, they could not guarantee that the car would not face future damage due to potential overheating of the vehicle's engine.
Upon encountering this alarming situation, I promptly contacted the front desk at Brake Masters #188, where Mr. Adrian kindly assured me that the company would cover the cost of the necessary repairs and expressed sincere apologies for the inconvenience. Subsequently, I sent an email containing all the supporting documents, including the total repair costs discussed during our conversation.
However, I have been met with disappointment and resistance from Brake Masters #188 in taking responsibility for this incident and reimbursing me for the expenses incurred due to the negligence during the service. Mr. Adrian, the representative I spoke to, conveyed that he is only a messenger and that the company has made a firm decision not to cover the full cost of the repairs, suggesting they could have fixed the car for less money. It's important to emphasize that my car is brand new, and I relied on Brake Masters due to their licensing and reputation for quality service.
I want to stress the gravity of this situation: the service provided by Brake Masters #188 was not only inadequate but also potentially endangered the integrity of my vehicle's engine and, most importantly, my safety. While no immediate engine damage has been observed, we are still conducting drive tests on the car to ensure its ongoing safety and performance.
Despite my attempts to contact Brake Masters through both messages and calls to corporate, I have received no response. I hold firm belief in the reputation and commitment to quality service that Brake Masters upholds, and I sincerely hope that this matter can be promptly and amicably resolved.
I kindly request that Brake Masters reach out to me to discuss this issue as soon as possible. My primary concern is the safety and well-being of my vehicle and, ultimately, my own safety while on the road. read more
