Do NOT take care your car here for auto repairs. Not trustworthy or reliable and I had one of the worst customer experiences with the General Manager, Kevin. Isn't the General Manager of any store supposed to value good service? Not this place!!
I took my car in because I was having issues with the air conditioner not working properly. After a $200 diagnostic fee, they determined that I was in need of a new IDPM module. They quoted me over $1,000 for the part alone, plus an additional $265 fee for them to work on it. (after the $200 I had already spent to diagnose the issue). I did some research, called the dealership and they said the part was around $750 new. So when I went in to speak with the manager to ask if that was typical that they mark up that much % higher, he said he wasn't sure why the quote for the part was off and he went into the office to "research".
He left me out there waiting in line, and I watched about 6 people go through the line and pay. For at least 3-4 people who were paying, I overheard them complain that the price on their ticket seemed off. Apparently, they said they asked for services that they did not receive. The attendant was honest and just said they overlooked getting the services done, and didn't charge but They were frustrated because they said their car was there for many hours and now would have to bring it back.
After about 20 minutes of Kevin, "researching", he didn't come out and I just paid and decided to call back. The next morning I called him back and he told me he was really busy with a line of customers!! And said since it was Sunday, there was nothing he could do, which I understand but when I asked him what he was able to find out when he left me waiting the day prior, he said that by that time I went in, he could do much because the dealership was already closed. So why he had me wait, I'm not sure. He promised to call me back, and of course he didn't. I called the Cinco Auto 1 to complain, and talked to a really nice guy named Jim. He said that he would bring it to Kevin's attention and apologized and said he would have him call me back. Kevin, the "stand up" general manager, never did. Keep in mind I paid for $200 diagnostic fee and just wanted answers, and still needed my car fixed. I gave up and took it to the dealership. Turns out the guy at the dealership said in his 20 years working on My model car, he has never had to replace that part. Turns out it was something entirely different. I was SO thankful to not waste additional time and money at a place that does not have qualified people to work on auto repairs. I will also say that a few weeks prior to this issue happening, I took my car in there and they did an oil change and upsold my husband on something else, and they forgot to replace something correctly, so I heard this knocking in my engine the next day. We took it back and they apologized and said it was an overlook, but really?? I will never take my car back there obviously and I hope people research prior to taking here. And maybe Kevin will get a lesson in customer service. He needs to learn how to follow up with paying customers!! Do NOT let the convenience of their location fool you. Save your money and time and Take it to a place that knows what they are doing!! read more
