I spoke to my son about my brakes & an oil change & offered to change my brakes on Saturday. I went and bought the brakes & he replaced them & not for no $300 plus labor.
After my son had change the oil & changed the brakes he was still hearing the leaking of air, so he had removed everything that just brakes had removed to try to find the leak & the brake booster that was placed in my car was not a brand new $333 pc. This was a pc from the junk yard, because it had blue markings on it, it wasn't bright, or shiny like new part should be. It blended in with the rest of the parts in my motor. It was determined by Curtis that either Just brakes didn't replace the seal for the brake booster or it was a defected one. I have an actual video of my car leaking air from the "so called brand new $333 dollar pc".
My son called me while I was at work & advised that the brake booster was NOT new, that it was the cause of the air leaking noise that could be heard inside & outside of the vehicle. I immediately call the mgr at just brakes & tell him the problems I was having & that my son would be up there with my car & the video to show him the leak & my car was NOT fixed.
When my son arrived the mgr Marcus was a complete ASSHOLE to my son. When my son walked in the mgr immediately told my son, he does not need to see no video that he knows exactly what is wrong with my car. (In my opinion if knew exactly what was going, admittance of pure guilt) He knew that part he put on my car was DEFECTIVE to begin with that type of attitude.
So the mgr calls me back & asked to keep my car overnight & I said Ummmmm NO, I have to get home tonight & come to work tomorrow. So he asked me to bring it to him on Sunday morning & drop off before I go to work.
October 16
I take my car in & go inside & Marcus starts off immediately & he said he would make things right, and that is when I said hold up, I am the paying customer, I just paid you $500, and my car still is NOT FIXED & I have a few things to say.
I was extremely angry that I paid $333 for a part that he probably paid $30 for from a junkyard, he advised he could prove he didn't with the receipt. That isnt proof of NOTHING, the color of the part matched the color of the other parts in my engine, shouldn't be shiny, new, no paint markings on it.
I told him he would fix my car to my satisfaction or I would see him in court or I would have his shop shut down or I would have his job. I told him he was messing with people's lives & safety. That if I got in an accident due his faulty workmanship, he would be behind bars. I left my car with him & went to work.
I received a call @ 16:51 from the other mgr Steve & he advised the part was replaced from oreilly & that my o2 sensor was bad & needed to be replaced. I told him I would get a 2nd opinion that I didn't want them touching my car anymore.
13 minutes later Steven calls me back @ advises he has some bad news, that as they were backing my car out of the shop there was a pc of metal that was on the floor & it sliced my tire. He said he would replace it, but it would be Monday morning before he could replace it advising there weren't any tire shops open, Ummmmm NTB less than a mile from their facility was opened until 6 pm. So at 5:04 they couldn't go get a tire, no! I am beyond PISSED at the moment and still angry over this whole situation.
I get off work around 730, they got the donut tire out of the back of my car & put it on.
When I get there to pick up my car, I get in & start it & YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE LEAK.
THERE IS GREASE MARKS ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL OF OVER THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR, ON THE CARPET, THE WIRES WERE HANGING DOWN FROM UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN.THERE IS GREASE MARKS ALLLLLLLLLLLLL OVER THE BACK CARPET WHERE MY DONUT TIRE WAS.
I drive my car to my son's house which is maybe 5 miles from just brakes & he shines the flashlight in under the hood & the 2nd brake booster was still an old looking color, it was NOT SHINY or new!! I seriously DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY DID TO MY CAR, BUT THE PART REPLACED TWICE IS NOT WAS NOT NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I turn my car off & call my bf to talk to him & when I tried to start my car, it would not start!!!
My car had to be towed to the dealership to see what the hell these worthless mechanics did to my car.
I demand a full refund of $477.08, the cost to have my car towed of $80, the cost of the dealership diagnostic test of $132 & any other charges that are affiliated with whatever these mechanics did to screw me & my car.
I want my car cleaned & the it paid for by Just brakes. Oh and I have pictures
I am filing a complaint with the BBB as well!!
This place needs to be shut down.
This complaint will be posted on every website available to post. read more
