Javier, the manager, claimed "there's nothing wrong with that. That's how we do all the exhaust repairs."

Do NOT bring your vehicle to Midas in Champaign, due to Dishonesty and Shoddy Work. They charged $240 for an exhaust system repair. Within a week of the initial repair, I brought my car back twice with continued exhaust symptoms. Their explanation was a broken motor mount, with an estimated cost of $350. I brought my car to a reputable auto shop for a second opinion only to find NOTHING wrong with the motor mount. Instead, the continued exhaust issues were from the obscenely crude welding job Midas did. They attempted to weld and instead filled the remaining gap with clumps of putty to cover up the horrible welding. When I confronted the manager at Midas, Javier, my concerns were dismissed and a refund was denied. He proceeded to gaslight me by saying "there's nothing wrong with that weld. This how we do all exhaust repairs." After calling Midas headquarters, I brought my car to the Midas in Peoria, where they had to replace the entire exhaust pipe due to Champaign's horrible work.

This is what the alignment of my car looked like within 2 miles of driving to Tire Barn to have a printed report ran for me.

I have been a customer of Norris for more than 20 years until today. It all started about a year…read moreor so ago when they changed their sales policies and started actively pushing up-sales through a practice they refer to as a courtesy check. When my wife or I would bring our cars in for routine maintenance we would get a call saying that they found other problems that should be addressed and since they had the car apart it would be less expensive if they were addressed now. The suggested repairs they estimated were three times the cost the car was originally brought in for. I would ask if they thought it was critical and they would say it should be repaired like I didn't have a choice. The first time this happened I thought well I have been coming here for 20 years they must be right so I went along to the tune of $2500+. A year after this I brought the same car back in for the rear brakes, and I again get a call that says they found more repairs that should be done about $1700.. This time I was really perplexed as the car was just repaired a little over a year ago why all of a sudden is it needing so many repairs and why didn't they find these new repairs a year ago? So I asked the service advisor and the answer I got is this is part of their Courtesy Check practice which according to the shop manager was started 4 years ago. I asked them to please stop the practice as I was not interested in their constant barrage of suggested up-sales. I also said if they didn't stop I would not return. The service advisor replied that it was store policy and he could not do that. The shop manager also said the same. So I told them that I would not be coming back.

Had a slow persistent leak in one of my tires. Took it in to Tire Barn on a late afternoon. Manager…read moreat the counter, Bryan, was friendly and able to get me in right away. Problem diagnosed as a leak from the valve stem. Replaced it for $56.61 total. Quick, friendly service. Didn't realize until after I got home that the repairman had neglected to fill the tire. Initially thought that the pressure monitoring system was just slow to update, but later had to fill the tire myself to the correct pressure. No big deal, but an annoyance. 5 days later, my tire pressure was low again. Took it back in. Told by the manager on duty, Shanell, that I had a nail in my tire. I expressed my disbelief that I was that unlucky and questioned whether the problem had been misdiagnosed at the first visit. Shanell was rude and dismissive of my concerns. Realizing that I wasn't going to get anywhere arguing with her on an issue that neither of us could prove, I told her to go ahead with the repair. Cost $35.81. As I was driving away, noticed my pressure monitoring system update: still showed a low pressure in that tire. Took it back immediately and asked them to fill it up. Shanell's attitude was again that of being annoyed and definitely not in any way apologetic. Repairman filled the tire and I was back on my way. Overall, Tire Barn provides fast service, but they are sometimes careless, omitting basic parts of service (such as filling a tire to the correct pressure on two consecutive trips). Customer service is variable and seemingly dependent on which manager is on duty at the time. I am willing to chalk up having to make two visits to bad luck (running over a nail just days after having the exact same time repaired), but the rudeness during the second visit left a bad taste in my mouth. I will be looking for alternatives for my future tire service needs.

I would like to say don't do not take you car to tire barn they blame you for having rusted parts…read morebreak them claim they barely touched it and they tell you you have to pay for a part that was in their possession, and to add to the manager of the Champaign Il store Angel you should not be a manger you talk condensending always argumentative and you all don't take accountability for nothing then I call the store on today 10/30 to ask a question then you hang up on me you are rude that's not how you you fix a situation Tire barn count your days.

I recently requested that Long's Garage detail my car, as I thought that a mildew smell indicated…read morethat there might be some water trapped in the padding under the carpet. I had called around town for estimates, but four other places were either unable or unwilling to look under the carpet for water. The estimate I was given at Long's for detailing alone was about 30% higher than all the other places I called. However, everyone I spoke to there was very friendly, and focused on providing the best service possible. They were all willing to take the time to listen to me, to ask questions, and to explain exactly what they would do to determine the location of the problem, and to resolve it. I ended up leaving my car at the shop for three days, but Rudy explained all the reasons for this, and I trusted his judgment. When I went to pick up my car, it looked fantastic and smelled great. They took the trouble to explain to me the efforts that they had made to locate the source of the leak on the roof, and the fact that they had had to remove more than four gallons of water and ice from under the floorboards. They removed all the water, dried the padding, cleaned the carpet, and sealed the leak. They actually undercharged me for all this work and when I told them this, they said, "We want the customer to be happy." Because of their conscientious attention to detail, their expertise, and their exemplary work ethic, they basically saved me thousands of dollars in future repairs and rust damage treatment. I am very grateful to this establishment. I can highly recommend the services of Long's Garage to everyone without reservation.
