We had a couple of great experiences. Honest and good work so we continued to go trying to build relationships/ trust (etc.) My husband took my car Thursday to get it diagnosed (eval) to figure out whatever was going on with it. He took it Thursday 8/3 and was told it would only take a few hrs. We were not called until Friday morning and told the eval results. We then said we would come pick it up and discovered that personal items were missing from my trunk and they ransacked through it and also out of the middle counsel inside of my car. No damages to the outside of my vehicle so a break in was improbable. We then called and explained the situation and was told by the manager that he would check security cameras and call back by the end of the business day. We received no such call. We then called the next morning and was told he didn't have time but if he did he would look at it and call us back. We then received a phone call a few hrs later from a different employee NOT THE MANAGER and was told there was no footage of anyone going inside my vehicle and they were not responsible for what happened in the parking lot and to file a police report. Sad part is we had multiple cars that we trusted pep boys to do maintenance with and now they have lost all of our business.

TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN FROM THIS FRAUDULENT ESTABLISHMENT‼‼‼ CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING‼‼‼ Drove my son's vehicle to the pep boys in Garner NC for a free engine light diagnostic. Checked in the vehicle with Renee (supposedly the "GM") of this location. (MY EXACT VERBIAGE!) I advised her that the vehicle is running hot and the engine light has come on, "I would like a free diagnostic to determine what the main issue is." I advised her that I've taken several of my Volvo's' to Pepboys in Miami (where I live half of the year), for simple oil changes and tire rotations. Renee proceeds to ask "phone number", she advises that she has located my account. She then advises she needed to "update my account" and proceeds to ask for my address. I'm assuming she's looking at my Miami home addresses. So I assumed she needs an address for my property here in Cary. I provide it. Then she asks for the keys - asks if I am staying or leaving the car. I advise I would be back for the vehicle once the diagnostic is complete. Renee advises "we'll call you once it's ready.' Approximately 30 minutes later I receive a call from Renee (the manager) who advises that the entire engine was blown and would cost $3,500 for labor, not including the cost of the engine. On a vehicle that I seamlessly drove from my home to Pepboys?! If that didn't sound sketchy enough - what I didn't advise them of, was that my neighbor (who's a mechanic) had already taken a look at it and gave me a $200 quote on a cracked water pump replacement. I was taking it upon myself to get a second quote before I preceded with the water pump repair. Renee then asked, if I would like them to locate an engine for that vehicle or if I would like to pick it up. I advised her, no thank you - I will be picking it up. She then proceeded to say "your invoice would be at the front" and she hung up! Once I arrive to retrieve my car and key (Renee has left for the day), and a big fat old man is at the front desk. I proceed to provide my information so he could hand over my key and I could leave. He pulls an invoice from the desk with a $$ amount for a coolant check and parts. He advises he would not be releasing my key until I pay for the services preformed. I advised him, there must be a misunderstanding because Ive dropped off my sons vehicle for a free diagnostic check - there shouldn't be a cost associated with a FREE diagnostic! He then calls Renee to clear up the misunderstanding - when she advises that SHE HAD COMMUNICATED A DOLLAR AMOUNT UPON DROP OFF OF THE VEHICLE?! Renee barely lifted her head up to acknowledge me at check in, NEVER-THE-LESS communicate a cost above and beyond the FREE DIAGNOSTIC I was requesting! I look above the front desk and notice a camera security system, and ask the man at the front desk to please replay the footage where she advised me of "the cost"! He proceeds to say - VERBATIM, "those cameras are footage only, they do not have audio - so you will not catch us that way"! Almost implying, that they've fraudulently done this before! What Renee ("the manager") wasn't aware of - is that I am a defense attorney for the State of North Carolina & Florida! You have a bigger problem on your hands for fraudulently preying on the finances of clients who are entrusting their personal property to a "reliable"/"integral" establishment for honest quotes and services! I proceeded to advise the man (name unknown) at the front desk, that I will be towing my sons vehicle out of the lot IMMEDIATELY! He then advised, "if I did that, he would call the police"! I laughed and advised him - my GOOD OL' FRIENDS at the county police department were already ON THEIR WAY to assist the escort of my sons vehicle! The following day, my colleague at my firm was in contact to retrieve paper trail evidence and my sons key! All individuals evolved will be served and summoned to court shortly! THERE WILL be a complete and thorough investigation into this Pep Boys establishment in Garner NC! I'm confident that there are many other victims that would like their experiences shared! Sorry to all of the other victims of this fraudulent business establishment!

Precision Tune Auto Care - Stain from oil?

I've been going to this Precision Tune Auto Care location for about a year, and I enjoy my overall…read moreexperience with them. I've been going to Precision for regular maintenance and check ups on my vehicle, and all of my experiences have been fairly good - some locations had unprofessional employees at the counter, but not this one. I usually get the engine oil changed at Precision because they top all the fluids and check on my car to let me know if something is wrong. I especially enjoy that they never pressure me to take up on unnecessary services. They tell me as is - I've walked away from this place because I simply didn't feel like fixing the issue at that time, and sometimes I'd fix the issue right then. In either situations, I was treated with professionalism. I also like that whichever location of Precision you go to, they can pull up the service history. So it's pretty convenient when I can't remember which services I've done in the past. This location recently renovated the office/waiting room, and it looks pretty clean! The parking area is pretty tight so be prepared :)

They stained my car seats. Didn't tell me or offer any discount. I found the stain when I got home…read more I am very upset as this greatly impacts the value of my car! Plus a stain like this is nearly impossible to remove. Not only is this stain here but in the drivers seat it's obvious someone with dirty pants sat down. It's not as large or black as this stain but still something I need to figure out how to clean. I went for an oil change and tire rotation and they took over an hour.

I trusted Josh and Justin to install a new…read morerear end and driveshaft in my truck, and they assured me everything would be done right and I'd be "ready to ride." That couldn't be further from the truth. They called me around 2 AM saying the job was complete and asked me to send the remaining balance. Just minutes later, my driver reported that the truck was shaking extremely bad. When I called them back, they told my driver to meet them about 10 miles away--only to then say there was nothing they could do. Since then, I have been calling them all morning with no answer. On top of that, my toolbox was stolen off my truck while it was in their possession. This entire experience has been unprofessional, dishonest, and unacceptable. I paid $4,000 for work that was clearly not done correctly, and now I'm left dealing with additional damage and missing property. If they do not communicate with me ASAP, I will be filing a civil suit and taking this matter to court. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere.

Justin responded to my request within 10-15 minutes and from that point forward, went above and…read morebeyond in every way. My daughters car wasnt running well and she took it to a local shop. We got the estimate and it was ridiculous. I know how to work on cars for the most part, but since Im in Maryland I was kind of stuck either paying the ridiculous prices or going to fix it myself 6 hours away. Justin agreed to do the work for an extremely reasonable and fair price, and did it the same day. I ordered the part from the local auto store and he picked it up and put it in withing an hour or so. He sent me videos of what he was doing as well as constant updates along the way. There is NO REASON to find anyone else to work on this car for me anymore, as I know he knows what hes doing and is reliable and reasonably priced. Very Satisfied
