Worst Experience I've ever had. SHADY/UNHONEST
I will file a complaint to AMVIC 100% for sure.
(PLEASE TAKE YOUR BUSINESS SOMEWHERE ELSE )
At first impression coming into the place it seemed like it was a good bunch of people.
The owner greeted me and told me that they take their customer service very serious and that it separates them from their competition.
Then a customer happened to walk in saying that his transmission was slipping, right after he received an transmission from these guys at LUBE FX. Then in the same breath the owner talks to me and starts complaining about the customer instead of just going to help him out for the mistake that was made at his business (RED FLAG). The issue occurred after the service you guys gave him. Own up to your mistake and fix it.
Then the owner frustrated leaves and an employee takes over my service, he suggested an engine flush which I did. Usually this is just an upsell I know, but I just had my car parked for a few months and drove it from BC to AB), so I went with it. At this point I was at the phone having an important conversation, and I notice that the owner coming back and saying something to the employee about overfilling and it potentially damaging my vehicle. I wasn't able to follow their conversation due to being on the phone. Mentioning nothing to me and talking quietly, as well as not informing me of what just happened. I pay and leave not thinking much of it.
A couple days later I am driving down the highway to the airport and my skid plate comes loose, and starts grinding on the ground. Without a doubt they didn't secure one of the screws properly (Picture attached) as it only came down on one side and started grinding on the road. As well as I almost missed my flight.
Mistakes happen and I wasn't upset about this whole thing, not thinking much of it. I was thinking I can go back there and I'm sure we can figure something out.
I went in to talk to the owner, but could only find the manager. I believe they're related.
I show the manager what the problem was and he right away denies that the shop could have made that mistake. Instead he blames the skid plate saying that Acura provides low quality skid plates and that the screws contract and expand and contract and etc. I've driven this car for 60k and never once had this happen to me in both provinces of Alberta and BC. Within 50km of getting an oil change from this establishment it had come loose and damaged.
Next he talks about how the skid plate is useless anyways and doesn't help. You don't design cars and you're not an engineer please keep your opinions to yourself. If it was a useless piece the car manufacturer wouldn't have one on every model of car designed, you lack common sense. I try to come to some compromise, either they pay half and I pay half or they can compensate me through my next oil change. Anyways, he says it's not our fault and we are professionals and make sure everything is secured before anyone leaves blah blah blah, repeats himself 100x.
It's okay to make mistakes we are people and it's a human thing, but it's not okay to not own up to your mistakes and put it all on your customer.
This is the first time I've ever reviewed a business, but you guys need to train your people better. Letting people drive unsafe in vehicles that you just serviced could cost someone their life.
