Brock The store manager keeps on deleting, What does that tell you!!!
Do not use Firestone!!! Take the time to send a review when you have an issue!! We will get them to either change their ways or shut them down to Tires only!!!!
My drivable S10 blazer was in for rear noise and has lifetime wheel alignment.
They came back with rear differential needing service and that they do not do. Also you think they would note ( to cover themselves) on work order that they had to open the hood with pliers because the hood latch release was broke when I went to open the next time needed. Still had a slight noise on backing out of drive only after alignment.
Took to Car-X, my rear end noise was the wheel bearing not the rear differential as Castleton Firestone stated, replaced and is fine.
Called Corporate to talk to the regional rep, one issue is the lack of master mechanics!! So corp or supposedly corp wanted the store manager to deal with my issue or that what Brock the store manager stated when I said I will call corp back if I dont get a call from Reg, Rep. Wanted to address Westfield store that quoted over $1300,00 of alignment parts on 8/2021, took car too the Castleton Store, (still had Master Mech at the time, Aligned blazer with no parts needed. All suspension parts were replaced 12/2019 so I new quote was incorrect and when I called the Westfield store back, Tech that did the quote was no longer with the company.
Gave my concerns to Brock, all he could do is apologize as this was not his store. My concern on the alignment was the tech only spent 20 minutes doing the alignment and still had the minimal noise issue and brought up the hood release. When asking which Firestone (master mechanic) I should take my vehicle to he was all over the place! Suggesting other locations then came back to the Castleton store.
So again I brought my drivable Blazer back to them, They brought me out to the vehicle and pointed out the inner/outer tie rods with connection sleeve along with the steering bar that connects the front wheels together was bad along with I had a front differential problem. Had an issue with Brent as I called him out on the information he provided! Stated sounds like your talking out your ass when mentioning that he never told me I had a problem with my rear differential. Written on my invoice rear diff needs service! So they chose to refund my lifetime for my harsh words.
Driving back to work after they looked at it Blazer was severely pulling to the right and had to hold the steering hard left to drive straight.
Took back to Car-X, They found both tie intermediate sections loose! This piece holds the outer and inner tie rods together. So my harsh words this is what I get!!! Can you believe it! Car-X aligned with no parts needed!!!
They fall short as mechanics! Best to use only for tires only change! OH and make sure your hood opens, the trunk opens, etc spend 30mins before you leave!!!!
Keep the review coming, We need to shut them down!!! Or go to tires only!! I will be seeing if the news would like to cover it!! They way I stated it to Brock, How would you like for your mother to get that $1300.00 estimate!!!! Coming for you!! read more
