Brought my Jeep in today for an oil change and tire rotation. Waited an hour before an employee…read morecame to me to say there was a problem with the tire rotation. He pointed at two of the wheels lug studs on the same wheel next to each other had been stripped and the lugs cannot go on and the vehicle is unsafe to drive. Then he said word for word (this happens all the time). I pointed back at all the metal shaving proving they were the ones that caused it. Then got charged in full for them breaking the vehicle. No offer to cover damage, no lift home and vehicle had to be left in a lot overnight until I can find a shop that can fix the vehicle. Pending small claims lawsuit soon to follow. Please don't let this happen to you. Stripping one of the wheel lug studs was bad enough but to then strip the one right next to it? Avoid at your own peril.

The Valvoline listing online said this place was open until 6pm. I drove 10 minutes to get there…read moreand arrived between 5:25 & 5:30. When I pulled up one of the team members said they were closing. I asked if they could take care of me so I didn't have to drive 20 minutes down the road to the next Valvoline that was open until 7:00 and why did their website said they were open until 6:00. They told me it was because they were bought out by some other company. It seemed like a pretty easy customer sat deal especially since they were starting up under a "new company". However, the manager must have wanted to punch the clock more than take care of and impress a potential new customer. Sad as it is - kinda convenient location - I highly doubt I would get my oil changed there now and I am less likely to recommend these guys.

Had a flat on the way to Tyler and swapped to my spare. Took it to Bill Day Tire Service Saturday…read moremorning -- they had me fixed up fast!

Came in for noise coming from the tire and to have a new sensor replaced. Waited for 3hours to have…read moreit fixed. Told them I had to be out to pick up my child from school and they made it clear I would b out b4 then. End up being late to the school and left with the tire still making noise (which I didn't hear right away... was probably a few days later I noticed). I went to another tire place to get the tire replaced. Told them about the noise and they pulled out the old tpms sensor and showed me that a regular valve stem was used. Came back to Bill Day (which I've used for years and have throughly trusted with all of our cars up UNTIL NOW)... I showed them the sensor. They show in the computer that they did a "flat repair"... which is NOT what I asked for and didn't need a flat repaired. So if they did said repair?... why didn't they find the noise that I heard in the tire and pull that loose sensor out that was floating and then to put a regular valve stem in....? I got NO apology and not even compensation for my time or paying for something that I didn't ask for. I end up paying for the sensor I originally asked for the 1st time... I asked to at least get the amount off from what I was charged for the 3 HOUR wait for the "flat repair" that wasn't done... they denied to give me a minimum of that. .... IF you go here.... DOUBLE Check their work unless you want to have to pay to get it fixed AGAIN!!!!! Very disappointed and also quite pissed about the level of care and customer service has went down from the place our whole family trusted to take care of our vehicles. Would NO LONGER recommend!!!

Complete Fail!!  Valvoline, specifically the one at 2417 S Broadway Ave, Tyler TX, is horrible!  I…read moretook my car in for an oil change and the tech suggested it was time to do a radiator fluid flush.  I agreed and had them perform the extra service.  I did not even make it a half block from valvoline before my car started coding, warning engine temp too high; stop at a safe place.  Immediately I turned around and drove back to valvoline, where they had me wait for another 30-40 minutes for the car to cool down.  When asked, the technician said he did not know why the car was coding but that his manager advised for me to drive the car around for the rest of the afternoon and see if the error message resolved itself and to report back the next day.  I knew better than to "drive my car around" and went straight home. Next morning I called Toyota and asked their advice, which I ended up taking it to them.  At the same time I put in a claim with Valvoline. David, manager of the store -- who refuses to give his last name -- said he himself needed to perform an investigation on my car, and I told him it was at physically located at Toyota; he could go there if he needed.  The technician at Toyota is initially reporting that it could be the thermostat; they've ordered a replacement which may take a few days.  Further testing cannot be conducted until the thermostat is replaced as testing w/o thermostat may cause further damage.   The car is still at Toyota, still in the process of being "fixed."  Technician says thermostat damage is consistent w/t machines used at valvoline but can't be 100 percent certain; further investigation needs to occur.   Okay so far.  BUT now Valvoline has called to tell me they've denied my claim; case closed.  I requested they keep the claim open until we know more information, to which I was told, basically, no, we've denied the claim.    I will follow up on this if Toyota or I believe Valvoline is at fault -- which currently I 100 percent do.  In the meantime please share this story and give David a call at 903-592-5695 and request that they please open this claim back up, p&ty!!

By that afternoon they had diagnosed the issue with my car. Over the phone, they sent photos of the issue, and provided me with the fault codes they found, so I could look them up myself. This really inspired both confidence and trust, particularly because this was my first time here. It took forever to get the component I needed, but I do not fault the business for this, it is simply a reality of the parts shortage happening today. That was further evidenced by the business' parking lot being full of parked cars. I suspect more than a few were waiting on parts back order. I was able to pay the invoice from my phone, a big relief considering that I am away for weeks at a time. My car is now safe and sound in my garage, and works just fine. I believe I got an honest price for the services, the work was good, and most of all the process was transparent all the way through.

https://youtu.be/KSXdwWeHJxU as (EVIDENCE)…read more FORMAL COMPLAINT AND COMPLETE ACCOUNT OF EVENTS Christian Brothers Automotive - Tyler, Texas ## CORPORATE PROMISE VS LOCAL EXPERIENCE Christian Brothers Automotive promotes a customer experience called "The Nice Difference," implying professionalism, communication, transparency, and respect. This location is independently owned and operated, meaning the responsibility to deliver that standard falls on local management. What I experienced was the opposite. --- ## ENTRY AND INITIAL INTERACTION Upon entering the Tyler location, I was not acknowledged. There was no greeting, no indication that assistance would be provided, and no basic customer engagement. I had to initiate interaction myself to be acknowledged. Phoebe, the service writer, eventually engaged and stated that I would receive updates throughout the process, including: * Text messages * Emails * Photos documenting the work This communication was never delivered. --- ## COMMUNICATION FAILURE The promised updates did not occur. What I did receive was not a valid diagnostic explanation. The communication provided: * Contained no clear diagnostic breakdown * Redirected me to call the shop * Displayed an estimate marked as "authorized," which I did not approve At this point, I had not paid for any services because I had not retrieved the vehicle and required clarification before proceeding. --- ## DIAGNOSTIC CONCERNS I asked a direct and reasonable question: "What exactly was completed during the $160 diagnostic?" I was told that multiple hours had been spent and that additional time would be required, potentially increasing the diagnostic cost to a much higher amount. I then asked why a scan tool or diagnostic computer was not used first to narrow down the issue before moving into a wiring-based diagnostic process. This is standard practice in modern diagnostics: * OBD2 scan tools * Live data monitoring * Fault code analysis * Circuit isolation prior to invasive work These questions were not answered clearly. The responses were vague, dismissive, and did not provide a technical explanation of what was actually performed. --- ## ESCALATION WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY Instead of addressing my questions or connecting me to the technician working on the vehicle, I was: * Placed on hold * Transferred to the service manager (Ryan) I was not informed this would be an escalation, nor was the situation clearly communicated to me prior to the transfer. --- ## PHONE INTERACTION - INTERRUPTION AND TONE When Ryan joined the call: * He did not establish context * He did not acknowledge the situation * He immediately adopted a condescending tone From the beginning of the call, I was repeatedly interrupted and not allowed to complete my explanations. --- ## STRUCTURED TRANSCRIPT EXCERPTS (WITH INTERRUPTION IDENTIFICATION) Speaker Key: YOU = Customer RYAN = Service Manager --- INTERRUPTION #1 YOU: "She didn't even try to--" RYAN: "So either you let me explain it to you or you can voluntarily come get your vehicle." --- INTERRUPTION #2 YOU: "She didn't even try to explain it to me, sir. She did not--" RYAN: "She has tried multiple times." --- INTERRUPTION #3 YOU: "You didn't even give me a chance to explain--" RYAN: "You have not given her the chance to explain, sir." --- INTERRUPTION #4 YOU: "I'm trying to talk to you, so don't interrupt me--" RYAN: "If you want me to treat you the same, you need to not interrupt me as well." --- INTERRUPTION #5 YOU: "Okay, so what I was trying to explain to you--" RYAN: "This conversation is over." --- INTERRUPTION #6 YOU: "You didn't even give me a chance to explain at all--" RYAN: "And how many chances have you given me and my advisor--" --- INTERRUPTION #7 YOU: "Well then we will go ahead and address that she never gave me the chance--" RYAN: "Once again--" --- INTERRUPTION #8 YOU: "And you yourself keep interrupting me like you're doing right now--" RYAN: "And you're not interrupting, sir?" --- INTERRUPTION #9 YOU: "If you would be quiet for a minute--" RYAN: "No sir." --- INTERRUPTION #10 YOU: "If you would be quiet for a minute you would be able to allow me to explain--" RYAN: "No sir." --- INTERRUPTION #11 YOU: "See you're interrupting me again--" RYAN: "I'm officially ending this conversation." --- ## INTERRUPTION SUMMARY Based on the transcript provided: * You were interrupted at least 11 times * Each interruption occurred while attempting to: * Explain lack of communication * Clarify unauthorized estimate * Understand diagnostic process At no point was a full explanation allowed to be completed. --- ## CONVERSATION TERMINATION Instead of resolving the issue: * The conversation was shut down * I was told to retrieve my vehicle * No clarification was provided --- ## REFUSAL TO ESCALATE I requested to speak with the owner. * I was told the owner was present * I was denied the opportunity to speak with him ---

Rebuttal to Firestation Service Center response to review dated 08July2026…read more I'm sorry I was unable to take your calls. It would have been nice if you had given me a little more than 16 hours to respond to you before posting your response- life does sometimes get busy. No worries - we'll just do this in writing. 1. Yes, I replaced one leaking hose and had you recharge the system. 2. Yes, my friend DID have his vehicle towed off your property due to it sitting untouched for a full week. 3. No, my AC system was not (and is not) cooling properly. 4. Yes, I did bring it back to you for evaluation, resulting in your personnel saying (very confidently) there were two additional leaks in the condenser and evaporator as "evidenced" by dye under black light. You also recommended the expansion valve be replaced for a total of $2050 (see picture). What are the chances of there being THREE simultaneous leaks in the system when it was working fine until the hose leak developed? Highly UNLIKELY and SUSPICIOUS! I took it to another garage and had a Toyota Master Tech inspect the system, giving them no background info other than the recharge and it not cooling well. They found ZERO leaks! However, they also discovered the system is not cooling well when vehicle is at idle, but works fine when moving, indicating most likely an airflow problem- perhaps a fan clutch or a dirty condenser/radiator. These are pretty easy fixes and certainly don't require $2050 of my hard-earned money. No, this very significant diagnostic failure and unsubstantiated estimate of repair is on Firestation Service. It would have been better had your people simply stated, "We can't identity a problem at this time". At least then your integrity would have been preserved, regardless of future findings. Strive for excellence! Integrity matters! Matt!
