I have had a several year history with this company. One year ago I needed servicing with my Zero turn mower which I have brought to this establishment multiple times with a complaint that it was struggling to cut thicker higher grass. This was new as I have used this mower all over my 10 acres since purchased about 5 years ago. They were unable to find out why this problem exists and sent the mower back to me the same after the service. I just lived with it. This year the pulley broke while mowing and almost one week after calling they picked my mower up (o.k. busy season) and serviced my mower appeared to repair it in several days. Dave called to tell me the mower was repaired and would be returned that day. I asked about the tires since the small tires in front often lose air and wanted to make sure the tires were fine. He told me the tires are in good shape and they aired up. They returned the mower that afternoon when I was not home and when I went to mow our very tall grass fields and yard, I found the mower with the right front tire off the rim! I was unable to mow. The only way the tire comes off the rim is if you drive the mower when the tire was flat. We did not send the mower to repair that way and certainly after the direct discussion regarding the tires, did not expect to receive the mower with a flat tire off the rim. This is a big deal since the tire has to be taken off and brought to tire place to be put back on. I have to hire someone to take off and put it back on. I contacted Dave the next morning and asked that they take care of it. He told me to take the wheel off and bring it to them and they would fix it. This is not acceptable since I have to pay someone to remove the tire, I was going out of town for the day to work so this task after they had my mower for two and half days is unacceptable. Dave said on the phone that I was and have been rude and they would fix the tire if I brought it in and to never return. He said that his staff agreed that I was rude to them. I have had no contact with his employees as I was not home when the mower was picked up or returned. Worst yet, he insisted the they did not return my mower with the wheel and tire off the rim! I had not touched the mower and the last person(s) to drive,touch, work on the mower is General Auto Parts.
I suspect that this was a mistake as I suggested and they need to take care of it. Dave's handling and insisting that they did not return the mower in that condition is outrageous and very poor customer service to be polite.
Steer clear of this shop as they appear not to be truthful and their handling of my mower issues is not likely an isolated incident or the first or last time. I was not rude and yes I was irritated after being expressively told they aired up my tires. Apparently they did not and mistakes can be made, just handle this as an adult instead of hanging up on me then calling me back to tell me to never come back. Very unprofessional and very customer unfriendly.
I don't recommend this company. read more
