My Problems all began at Firestone located at: 1553 S Crismon Rd Mesa, AZ 85208. This happened pre lockdown, pre Covid 19 and lasted through Covid and Firestone didn't even fix the issue.
I brought my BMW to them because the Service Engine Light was on, and they gave me a laundry list of problems they "claimed it had". I paid a couple thousand dollars and kept leaving, and the light would pop back on immediately, one repair was a Valve Cover Gasket, that leaked without even 1000 miles on the car since the repair. Robert ordered an AFTERMARKET gasket, then another Firestone where Josh is the Service Manager pulled it off and put a BMW gasket in for the repair.
Every time they would find a new engine issue and say that was why the light was on and NEVER got me to pass emissions or turn that light off.
Then they would find a new problem each time. I had cancer and was visibly bald and a cancer- patient, so I turned into their ATM. There was some young kid on my car, I saw him and his buddy even acknowledge seeing him in class. He was not even graduated. Another guy Michael Franklin who was terminated also worked on my car and the light never went out. I paid and nothing.
So, I went to Motor vehicles like 10 times which can be verified by the State of Arizona too, and it wouldn't pass, after all that work. Then, Robert said it needed to "cycle" and had me doing tricks that never, ever worked. I think Jason is the only honest guy in that shop. Then, all the emissions closed due to Covid.
I waited for Covid to be over so I could even get it in to the closed check stations. Work done in 2019 and when I went to go get emissions right before we locked down, It wouldn't pass. Fast forward a year and Wilkomms Repair Serviced repaired the issue and that cost 400.00 dollars and my car passed. Firestone reimbursed me for that. Then, here it is and most of the miles were me trying to get it to cycle, I drove out to Goodyear and noticed smoke. . I called HQ Firestone and then Paul the District guy called me and said to bring it to Higley location where Jacob could fix it. Josh and Jacob did, and also noticed the AFTERMARKET GARBAGE GASKET Robert had his guys put on my BMW. Jacob replaced it, I picked my car up Saturday, drove to Goodyear and home, then today went to go get gas and the Service Engine light popped on AGAIN. Every single time Firestone touches my car, even to repair a screw up they created, the Service light pops on. All of the sudden I Josh expects me to pay for a diagnoses "after" they had me car AGAIN, and no service engine lights were on. Josh who I thought was a good guy, tells me to bring it in and he's gonna charge me 100 dollars for a diagnoses. Really, and you guys still haven't fixed the ORIGINAL REASON I BROUGHT THE CAR IN WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON. Then he says, it's electrical because the service engine light only comes on for electrical. Interesting, I never in my life heard that before, yet it's a taped conversation. He said that on a recorded call 11/08/2021 3:15 through 3:30 PM AZ . You would think since Paul told me to deal with the HEAD GUY there, Pete Monahager, they would have done just that, taken my key and left it for Pete to give direction. Nope I got shafted yet again, because they wanted to put it on the rack even in spite of the directive Paul gave Pete and myself. The original reason my car was brought in was for a Service Engine Light and the miles on it show I haven't been driving it, we had a pandemic, and this guy essentially says, bring it in for a hundred bucks I will figure it out. My car is still messed up and was NEVER REPAIRED PROPERLY.
I had cancer and they took total advantage of me and still haven't properly repaired my car. read more
