I am 68 years old, and have been having cars serviced for a good 50 years. This was absolutely the worst experience I have ever had when it comes to car repair or service. If it hadn't been so frustrating and irritating, it might have been funny. Trust me, it wasn't funny at all.
Dropped the car off on Wednesday morning to have the oil changed and tires rotated and balanced. Was told they were really busy, and I said no sweat, just need to back by Thursday afternoon because I had to drive to Orlando on Friday. Thursday, after lunch, I went to the dealership to check on the progress, since I couldn't get anyone in the service department to answer the phone when I called. Well, they initially couldn't even locate my car, and couldn't determine if any work had been performed. After some more looking, they found the car, but no work had been performed. They asked if I could leave it until Friday, at which point I reminded them that I had to drive to Orlando on business Friday. They said if I could leave it until 9:30 Friday, they would have it ready to go. The next morning, they call me at 9:20 to tell me that I needed a new set of tires, due to 1 tire specifically being severely worn. I about screamed! I just told them to forget it. I went paid $165 for an oil change, which I consider a total rip off, considering I could have bought Mobile 1 synthetic designed specifically for that engine for less than $50. They bid me farewell with a "Good luck. Be careful. You can probably get there and back." I went home, put on my full size spare, which you would have thought they would have offered to do, with cords showing on that tire. Nope. Got to do that myself.
If you can take your car anywhere else for service, and I mean anywhere, do it! read more
