I really wish I read the reviews about this place before anything. If you can afford to take a day off from work for an oil change, then Performance Tire/Integrity Tire is the one for you!
Last week (Tuesday) I purchased their Groupon deal (full synthetic oil change & tire rotation), and it said an appointment is required. Cool, no big deal. So I called them up, at around 3pm, mentioned the Groupon and asked if they had any openings for that day. They said they did not have any openings, BUT ALSO SAID that I can come in anyway and they'll take my car in. Perfect! I get ready and make my way over there. Got there at around 3:30pm and told them that I spoke with one of their employees about taking my car in without an appointment. The guy at the desk goes on his computer, looks through his binder and tells me that they can't today because there was a bunch of cars ahead of me. (I'm really understanding, but also hate having my time wasted, so I get that things happen. No big deal!). He apologized and said that I can book an appointment with him for the following week at 3pm. So I did. Booked and confirmed.
Which brings us to today. Ended up being ahead of my schedule for the day, so I decided to give them a call. I mention my appointment, and asked if they had any earlier openings. I get the same answer. No openings, but I can come in anyway, except it'll just take awhile. I declined and stuck with my 3pm appointment.
I get to Performance Tire approximately 10 minutes early before my scheduled appointment (3pm), and the guy at the front desk (a different one from last week) checks me in and does his thing. After he was done, he then tells me that my car would not be done until closing time (6pm). WHAT! I have to wait 3 hours??!! Appalled and confused I asked 'Why?'.
He vaguely explained, "There's a couple of cars in the garage that aren't moving."
Then I said, "Even with an appointment, it's gonna take that long? I scheduled it last week."
He exclaimed, "Yup! But if you want to leave, we can give you a call when it's ready."
... SMH. Yeah, I get there's unforeseen circumstances, but seriously??!! I was not prepared for a 3 hour wait and booked this appointment for a reason. What I don't get is, what kind of business does not honor appointments? Do they not respect their customers' time? Like everyone else, I have things to do and places to be. I figured at this point, if I rescheduled my appointment or come back another time, I'd have to wait another 3 hours maybe longer.
Luckily, I live relatively close and decided to take an Uber back home. About an hour and half later, I receive a call from one of their employees informing me that they JUST started on my car and telling me that I should change my brakes with them. I politely declined and told them I have a family mechanic for that. For some reason, this guy was too pushy and not taking no for an answer.
Then about an hour or so later, I get another call from them asking, "Hi Miss, it's about 45 minutes to closing. Are you looking to pick up your car today or do you wanna leave it over night?"
What in the world?! EXTREMELY ANNOYED at this point, I responded, "Wait what?! You guys said you would call me when it's ready to be picked up. How long has it been ready for?!"
His response, "Well yeah that's why I'm calling." Then I told him I'm on my way.
If I could, I'd give the communication, customer service, and reliability of this place -5 stars.
I'd rather pay more for better service elsewhere, than go back to this place.
Pro: I eventually got an oil change.
Con: It took (what felt like) a month. read more
