VERY DISHONEST BUSINESS! Steer Clear.
Apparently not only has their prices changed since our last visit by nearly double, but so has their business practice. After specifically asking for the same oil change as the previous visit, these guys snuck in a $20 "upgrade" on the oil, from the original Gold to what they call Platinum. The difference being that their "platinum" is "DEXOS 1", which is ACTUALLY "Specifically Designed for GM Vehicles", by General Motors.... we have a Hyundai and even though many people are being brainwashed that the more fancy your synthetic is... the better it must be for your vehicle... it's all just a bunch of BS. Regardless, this is NOT the same oil change we received the prior visit, **as requested**.
I called in to hash this out with the manager and he tried talking to me like I was an idiot. He said, "we get this all the time, women go home to their husbands and when they see the bill, they come in disputing the charges".
Well let's think about that for a second... why is this happening "All The Time"??!! Maybe you should be a little bit more transparent and less snakey withy your business practices!
I told him that he was taking advantage of a female with what he was doing and that he needed to refund the extra charges to our credit card because that was their "mistake". He told me that he could do this if we came back in with the card we used but I argued that it was unreasonable for him to expect me to waste my time over a $20 charge they had incorrectly added on our service and that he needed to figure out how to refund it without me coming in. The agreement was that the manage would call in to corporate to make the refund on Monday. Well... Monday has come and gone and now we are more than a month after the incident without a refund.
GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
More details:
Came in here on a Saturday afternoon to get an oil change. After waiting 30-45 minutes, one of the techs comes back and goes down a list of items they want to up-sell. Wipers, brake pads, license plate light, headlight restoration, tire rotation. They were referencing the previous visit and said because the air filters were replaced then, they didn't need to be replaced now. I'm only guessing here, but I bet if they didn't have the previous work order, they would have tried to sell those items as well.
After declining all the extras, my female companion requested that all she wanted was the same thing she had made the visit for, an oil change, the same one she received at her prior visit. After about 10 minutes, the service was done! Bill total for an oil change on a small 4 cylinder car, came out to $100!! The total WAS conveyed to her before approving the oil change, but only after waiting 30 minutes to get an update on their "free inspection". An inspection which was NEVER approved or discussed when she handed her keys over to the technician. Even though she was informed of the bill, it was only assumed it was for the same price and service as before, since that's what she asked for. After I heard about the price for an oil change on a small 4 cylinder vehicle, I checked her paperwork to find out they had charged her for the more expensive oil. read more
