I am extremely disappointed with the service and the way I was handled by Mr. Lube at Walmart (Macleod) - particularly by Gary, the manager. As a regular customer, I would go to the store in Macleod (near Schanks) and they have always done a professional job. But since I needed wheel balancing, I decided to try out the one at Walmart expecting to get the same great service.
Here was my experience in bullet points:
- Came in and asked for an oil change and wheel balancing and was asked to come back after 2 hours
- After 2 hours, I came back and Gary said they cannot work on the tires because the they were too worn out. So I told them to cancel that service and just do the oil change instead.
- After a few more hours, when I came back to collect my truck, imagine my surprise to see that I was still charged for the wheel balancing but strangely they only balanced 3 tires (?)
- I tried to dispute this service but Gary rudely told me that I should know that my tires were worn out and that they would charge me anyway because they still took my tires out and they were paying their workers $20. an hour for this (really? and how does this concern me?
- Gary said they tried to call me but I wasn't answering my phone - it turned out my information was never changed (and they never bothered to check it in the first place) as they still had my old car, the Toyota Echo and my house phone in the system! What is unbelievable is he told me that my truck was up for 3 hours and because I wasn't answering my phone, they lost business because of that (?!?!), insinuating it was MY FAULT
- Since it was evident we were getting nowhere, I just paid off the bill and Gary "kindly" only charged me for 2 tires instead of 3
- To add insult to injury, in my haste to leave, I found out later on that they did not even put air on the 4th tire, and I had to bring it to another gasoline station to put some air on it! read more
