I hate to say it, but this Navy MWR facility gave me my WORST car repair experience of my life. Yes, theoretically the labor is cheaper than off-base auto repair locations...but DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!! I brought my Toyota Rav4 in for an oil change and some brake pads/rotors replacements. I brought the vehicle in on a Friday. No call Saturday with an estimate, no call Monday until I called them mid-day. The perfectly nice service person seemed surprised I hadn't been contacted yet, and explained they'd work an estimate up for me and get back to me. 24 hours later, I again have to initiate the call to them mid-day on Tuesday. Same perfectly nice service person, this time saying they were having difficulty finding the correct parts. Let me remind you, this is a Toyota Rav4...not exactly some hard-to-find, obscure vehicle. Ok...they say they'll call me with an estimate. Fast forward to the next day, Wednesday. For once, they do call me. They inform me they've found the right parts, and it'll be a little over $1,000 for completely replacing all four brake pads, rotors, and calipers. Seemed really high, but I'm a car moron, this is why I have to pay people to fix my car and try SO hard to find people I trust that won't take advantage of my automobile illiteracy. Ok, I say. I'm told the car will be ready probably the next morning, on Thursday. So here comes Thursday. I speak with them again late morning/midday-ish on Thursday. I'm told they somehow ordered the wrong parts, would need to order the right parts, and now it would be Friday (a full 7 days since I originally left the car) when it's ready. Needless to say, I'm frustrated at this point, but I let them go ahead. Fast forward once again to the next day. Now it's Friday and I call mid-morning to schedule an exact time to pickup the car since I have a family of 4, and we need to coordinate school and daycare pickups around the car pickup. Guess what I'm told...after they began installing the new brake parts, when brake fluid started pouring out of my car, they figured out they'd ordered the wrong parts again. Ok, all stop. Cease & desist. Do not pass go, get your hands off my car. I explain the only thing they are to do now is put everything back the way I delivered it and they are to get my car towed to my normal car repair shop. I was told by the same perfectly nice service person that they were new and had been in the industry for 19 years, but this Navy site hadn't told her she could use her normal procurement vendors, blah, blah, blah. It certainly seems like this new employee wasn't set up for success, but guess what? Not my problem. I get a call back explaining this location apparently doesn't have a tow truck and that I'd need to procure the tow service myself. See "not pleased" in the dictionary. A tow will be about $75 and there's exactly zero chance I'm paying for this. I called back to reach a manager, they were in a meeting. I called back 3 more times, but the meeting apparently lasted hours. When I called the last time, they put me through to the manager's office and it turns out they were just discussing my situation, and had been meeting with all supervisors to discuss the complete disaster of a week this shop had been having. The manager was reasonable, asked that I give her a chance to find a solution for my situation, and if I didn't like it, they'd pay for the tow no questions asked. Great. Except I never heard back from her. I did hear from my normal car repair shop though. They said they'd been contacted by the MWR/NEX Auto Center regarding towing my vehicle to them, but found the call confusing, so they wanted to contact me. As soon as I hung up, the original perfectly nice service person called again, and wanted to confirm with me the location to tow my car, and informed me the oil change would be on them as well as the tow. Ok. It's late Friday afternoon at this point. About 5:30pm as I'm doing the school & daycare & wife pickup shuffle with a single car for the 6th time, I get a call saying they actually need me to come to the base because I'm needed to escort the tow truck onto the base. Facepalm. There's no way that's happening at 5:30pm, so I'm told I need to call the tow company to arrange a time on Saturday. 1pm it is. I then wait 25 minutes for the tow truck on Saturday, finally get them on base to the MWR/NEX Auto Center, and imagine this, they haven't given the desk personnel adequate instructions, so both they and my tow truck driver are confused and take 20 minutes to figure everything out. Finally I get my car away from these completely incompetent people. And guess, what my regular, more-expensive-labor car repair place then says the total will be about $700. The gift card was a $50 gift card to the NEX, and while I appreciate the gesture and that they eventually tried to make things right, I can without hesitation tell you NEVER GO HERE!!!! read more
