Well ... typically I do not like doing something like this... truly...The last three experiences at this location 6916 Independence, Plano have been an extremely discouraging display of consistent disappointments. A month ago... December... my wife bought my vehicle a Dodge Avenger to them concerning a leakage of coolant. Considering; I could not make the time to fix this myself as well as me... desiring to "trust" her mechanic...I took it to them. Normally, I have not had an issue concerning their oil change. I am learning that a person, who changes oil, does not make 'them' any more of a mechanic as much as a person holding a pistol making them a soldier in the United States Armed Forces. I found this out the hard way. We paid over $ 600 for that, plus a supposed 'tune up' which they did not use synthetic oil when topping my oil, as well as, ...WOW... the leak is STILL THERE!!! I took it back, only to have Cal ( one of the mechanics...I cannot remember the name fully) state, " we repaired one leak but there is another leak". I stated, " I was not paying this company to tell me the problem. I am paying them to 'fix it'. Cost is not the issue." Meaning if it cost more I will pay for it. So I am thinking that $600 of an investment would lead to $600 of repairs. If they charge more next time ...fine ...lets fix it. Anyways, It is a leak in the hose which I can fix. It is on the top of the car leading to the engine. Well.... they could have spotted that in the beginning if they were paying attention to the car as well as our request. The 'tune up' turned out leaving the car dragging and making sounds readily down the highway due to regular oil and not synthetic...I thought to myself, 'it is ok Ted. Mechanics 'up sale' (scam) sometimes to continue 'business'. "Hey...you need to fix this..." when it turns out that is not the reason you came to them. I get it! I understand. My wife was cool with them and SO AM I!!!!! WOW!!!! Now, this happened. 1/24/2023. My wife had a little trouble with the brake light. We took it to Kwik Kar 6916 Independence. They said that they had 'fixed it'. Several hours later, while at work, we find out that it has NOT been fixed. I left my job, in the snow while my wife called the owner and her boss. Turns out, her boss can YouTube simple solutions to solve complex problems. He temporarily fixed it so the brake lights would not burn out the battery. He 'fixed it' ....WITH A PEN from my office. We took it to the mechanic this morning and I could hear my wife practically arguing with the worker that it was not fixed. He rudely overspoke her (hence the reason for arguing) claiming it was the switch or electrical when she said repeatedly yesterday ...AND today the "pedal would not go down or the gears would not switch". "The guy who does this work will be here at twelve. Come back at twelve." Now.... my wife works over night and she needs her sleep and I was coming from work. Overhearing this...made me at a place of leaving work to ...'ensure that the mechanic WILL DO HIS JOB...:-) ... She came to their defense before to keep me from going there, complaining, or speaking with a district manager ( who has yet to contact me). But now... she was upset. She is bent on not coming back there for automotive services. We are not irrational or highly emotional people ...easily angered. However, I was frustrated to hear him talk to my wife like this and her response to me was after he went away, ' did you hear what he said'? Agai, as a Pasotr and Program Coordinator in a prison ministry, I deal with men in a peaceful manner. I believe in solutions with out emotional displays. I have other options so I will have to utilize them. I wish that I did not have to... for the sake of my wife's convenience. But money talks and he did wrongly towards my wife's business and trust. We pay for the problem to get fixed ... not for the mechanic to tell me there is a problem and not fix it. It is 'up selling', scamming, deceitful and frankly instead of getting upset, I will just inform the owner....if this is read....show the picture...LORD willing it will be posted. I did not like the last three transactions and it appears that this is going to continue down this way so...bad review... not coming here. I can find an oil change and mechanic down the street from my office, church or my warehouse which I also work at. Thank You for allowing me to vent. I am venting on behalf of my physically drained wife who had suffered through this ordeal. read more
