Broken Break Pad

*Long Post Alert* After purchasing my 2017 Hyundai Sonata Sport, I was advised to take it to this particular Firestone location, on Savannah Hwy. I've since then taken my vehicle there 4x total, twice for service. The other 2 times that I took my vehicle I wasn't able to have it serviced due to being short of technicians or the technician being off until a weekday. I was patient but became fed up with this location after they continuously went around my initial service request (wheel balance & wheel alignment). I figured this was the issue because my complaint was about the shaking of my steering wheel, floor base & seat! After having a Complete Auto Inspection at the 1st visit (4/26/2025), it was determined my wheel/hub bearing needed replacing, so it was replaced. I left thinking okay, maybe the wheel alignment & balance wasn't the issue. (It was never told to or confirmed w/ me, if it was or wasn't) So yes I'm thinking I'm good to go. Nope! The same issues occurred leaving me to take the car back with the same complaint on the MORNING of 4/29/2025. At this visit, another Complete Vehicle Inspection was performed & it was test driven, I was told it's the brake pads & rotors, but they didn't feel any vibrations/shaking. The parts needed to be ordered. Ok, cool let's get the order in, claim submitted to the warranty & fix it. Claim submitted, car was left over night (waiting on the parts) and picked up the following EVENING because the estimated time given (9:30am - 10am) didn't work out. Paid for the complete vehicle inspection, warranty covered everything else. I left with my car hoping this time the issue was fixed. Nope! We are now in May of 2025. I took my car back by to let them know the car is now squealing when I hit the breaks, louder than a school bus (which it wasn't doing before) & that the vibration is still there. Literally felt like a massage chair at the nail salon. That is when I was told they will take a look into it however I couldn't be seen for service that day because they were short staffed on technicians & busy. I took it back the next day, a Saturday & was told the technician wouldn't be in until Monday. At this point I'm irritated. After leaving there was a factory issue with the engine that needed serviced. That took a couple weeks. Got the car back, picked up where I left off with Firestone, I asked one of the technicians if he could at least come outside to look at & listen to the car. He did & said he didn't hear any of the squealing from the brakes. I asked him to verify what exactly was done when they last had my car, he told me that the rotors were replaced. Not the brake pads. I was completely confused because I was told they were replaced, with the rotors, I mean are they not suppose to be replaced with the rotors?? Apparently the warranty didn't cover the brake pads, only the rotors, but why wasn't I notified? I would've covered that on my end. I was offered a free brake inspection if I brought it back. THAT is when I left & decided to make an appointment with the Old Trolley Road location. Guess what! Another vehicle inspection only this time it was a Complete Vehicle Inspection PLUS. It was determined that my brake pads were cracked & rubbing against the new rotors. Ruining them & causing the squeaking sounds & vibrations due to uneven surfaces. Why would they place cracked brake pads on with new rotors? Anywho, new brake pads & rotors (Front & Rear) were needed and replaced. So there you have it. My 1 star review, what would you rate the services?

Took a car in to have a Pre-purchase inspection. I thought I could feel the clutch slipping, but…read morenaturally wanted to take it to the experts to be sure (clutch job's at least $2k on the car in question). The owner agreed. Charleston Wagon Worx plugged a computer in, and pulled codes off the car, missing various broken interior functions and a replaced windshield (I'd want to know why it was replaced - the car was a 2016). Didn't pull wheels off to look at the brakes and offered no measurements of remaining pad, etc. Icing on the cake was when they then said that they weren't able to check the clutch slippage without pulling it out of the car (I guess they're new at this or something), and wouldn't be able to do a highway drive. I called and asked for my money back now that I'm looking at a $2k clutch job. They said tough luck. So yeah, maybe shame on me for not trusting my gut, which is what I was told on the phone, but the purpose of a PPI is to check the mechanical functions of the car. I would very strongly recommend going elsewhere for vehicle inspections. A clutch should absolutely be checked in a manual transmission car, particularly when the job is this expensive. I really wondered what I paid for here - I can pull codes and do a Carfax myself. Two stars because I'm too kind to give one.

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!!!

When I arrived I was surprised it was no charge. I really wanted to tip the gentlemen that worked hard to get my car up to par in a safe and swift speed and learned they distribute the tips amongst the workers for that day. 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.

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. I'm officially a lifetime customer. Wish I'd have been going to them from the start!

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.

During this period, along with knowledge and experience with professional racing came aspirations for his own racing endeavors.
