I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration with the service I received at your Jackson Car Wash located at 2501 W Happy Valley Road in Phoenix on May 26, 2023, at approximately 5:00 PM. The experience I had with your assistant manager at the oil change section, James, was nothing short of appalling and completely unprofessional.
Upon arriving at your establishment, I approached James to request an oil change for my Jeep. I mentioned that I had the top off and inquired about a car wash, since it was included with the oil change. James informed me that there were no vouchers available, to which I responded that it was fine because I would be going off-roading the next day and was primarily concerned about the oil change. Despite this, James proceeded to take my Jeep into the bay.
However, shortly after, James called me over and informed me that he couldn't proceed with the oil change due to a significant oil leak from my vehicle. I was shocked by this revelation since my Jeep had never exhibited any signs of oil leakage in the past. James used a flashlight to point out supposed oil and wetness around the oil filter cover, but upon close inspection, I saw nothing out of the ordinary. To confirm my suspicion, I promptly checked the oil level with the dipstick, which indicated that the oil level was perfect.
I explained to James that the Jeep sits in my driveway, and I would certainly notice any oil leakage since there would be oil spots present. However, James dismissed my explanation and reiterated that they couldn't take the risk of an oil leak. Furthermore, he claimed that my vehicle was also leaking coolant, alleging that I should be able to smell it. Yet, I did not detect any odor of antifreeze, and there had never been any marks on my driveway where I park my Jeep.
Disheartened by the treatment I received, I decided to seek service elsewhere and went to Grease Monkey for the oil change. The staff at Grease Monkey promptly attended to my Jeep, and approximately twenty minutes later, the oil change was successfully completed. I took the opportunity to inquire about any oil or coolant leaks, and the employee assured me that there were no leaks and that my Jeep was in good condition. To my dismay, this confirmed that the issue at Jackson Car Wash was not genuine.
In my frustration, I returned to Jackson Car Wash to address the situation with a manager. A white male with a beard, who I later learned was a manager, came forward, and I explained the events that had transpired. He confirmed that James was, in fact, the assistant manager of the oil change section. I was astounded that such a deceitful individual could hold a position of authority within your establishment. I can only imagine how many customers may have fallen victim to similar deceptive practices in the past, potentially resulting in unnecessary expenses at other fraudulent auto shops.
It is with great disappointment that I inform you that you have not only lost me as a customer but that I will also actively discourage everyone I know from visiting your establishment. The lack of professionalism, deceptive behavior, and poor customer service displayed by James have left me deeply dissatisfied. This incident has raised serious concerns about the integrity of your business and the quality of service provided. read more
