In regards to Salem, Ohio PittStop.
They installed the wrong oil filter on my car.
The car stalled in a bad spot, but I managed to coast into the Lisbon BMV / Family Dollar lot. I wasn't thinking like a mechanic--I was just trying to get to work and get the show back on the road. I called AAA for a tow, but when I phoned the shop to explain, the manager told me to cancel it. He'd send someone out to slap on a new filter, top off the oil, and have me drive off. I agreed, not realizing that was a risky move that could've caused more damage.
Afterward, they pressured me to bring the car back to them for an internal inspection, a classic CYA move. Just so you know: you are not legally required to do that. You have every right to get an independent inspection.
I had Stadium GM in Salem check it out, and LUCKILY little to no damage was done.
The general manager refunded the oil change and said he'd reimburse the inspection (no consideration for inconvenience and danger). That was two weeks ago. District manager says he dropped the check in the mailbox with no tracking number. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
If it doesn't arrive soon, I'll be filing a BBB complaint and taking it to small claims.
EDIT: I wouldn't take their CarFax reviews at face value, I have been trying to leave one and it seems you only can if they send you a link to do so. read more
