I brought my car in for an oil change and a manufacturer scheduled transmission fluid and filter…read morereplacement, mainly for the transmission service. After leaving it all day I got a call to pick it up. All they did was the oil change and tire rotation. Then they tried to sell me new tires. I was told that the transmission filter wasn't serviceable. Funny, because auto parts stores sell them, and there are YouTube videos show it being done. I could have gone to Valvoline got an oil change and a tire rotation for less and in under half an hour. I'm never going back to Dobbs ever again.

This will be long. This particular Dobbs is not the Dobbs that you want to give your hard earned…read moremoney to. I brought my personal car, a Focus ST in for tire work about 5 years ago. I brought the car new in 2018. They told me I needed 2 tires and rear brakes, the rear rotors were rust pitted. OK, I showed up with them not only trying to sell me 2 tire and rear brakes (Which it needed) but struts on a 3 or 4 year old car on the notion that they were rusted and accused my car of being a flood car. They are THIEVES! I worked in the auto industry and know this tactic. I should have walked out but I stupidly approved the tirework, brake work, and flush the brake fluid. The next day on the way to work the brake light came on. I limped it to work to find a caliper leaking from a bleeder they left loose. I called them and told them I would bring it back after work. When I brought it back instead of just telling me their tech made a honest mistake and left the bleeder loose they said the bleeder failed (a lie) and they replaced them all (another lie.) Go forward to today to a service van I drive for my employer. My own car doesn't drive on their lot anymore. The hydroboost is leaking on the van. I know what it is and what it is leaking. I showed up Monday to set the appointment to drop off the van Friday. No Problems. I called Tuesday to simply get a figure on on the repair for my boss. The service writer refused to give me any figures after me telling him what he needed, said that he would need to get a hydroboost for an 11 year old Chevy Express van from the dealer (a lie) and refused to even look it up. I even told him he would have from Tuesday to Friday to do it. Nope. He acted like replacing hydroboost booster on a Chevy van was working on an Audi. He would only talk numbers when the van arrived and wouldn't even order the parts when I said that we would possibly pre pay for the work. I told him I wasn't going to drop off the van just for them to tell me that they wouldn't to it until Monday. Then It came out. He didn't trust any techs on their Saturday shift to do it. A brake booster! If they would have said that in the first place I wouldn't have wrote this. But these thieves tried to screw owner of the company that i work for (and like a lot) by buying a booster from the dealer instead of a local source and wanted to waste my time and and work hours by having the van sit at their building for no reason. There are better Dobbs in the Belleville area to give your business to. This Dobbs are liars, thieves, and evidently employ one of the laziest service writers I have ever had the misfortune to waste my time on the phone with and no vehicle that I drive will ever touch this establishment again. This Dobbs is within walking distance to where I live and I will not take anything to them ever again. Take your car to the O'fallon Dobbs.

This shop is next to my workplace, so I thought this would be an easy way to get an oil change…read more Drop the car off at 8am and pick it up at 5. Easy enough I thought. I leave work at 5:30pm and hear a scraping sound, I hit the highway and it gets louder, I pull over at the first exit and discover that they didn't attach my skid plate. Thankfully I had AAA, called them and they had to send out two trucks since the first one couldn't repair it. They were going to tow my car until the serviceman was able to do a quick fix on the side of the road. By this time, I had spent over 2 1/2 hours on the side of the road in 90-degree heat on a Friday night where I had dinner plans (these plans were obviously missed). I get home at 8:30pm, a normal 30-minute drive taking 3 hours. I send them an e-mail detailing how they forgot to bolt on my skid plate. Monday they call and I'm told that as long as they have an open bay available, they should be able to get my car in. "What?!" You botch the job and then you're not even guaranteeing that you'll be able to get it fixed the next time I bring it in? They have on their site that they will pick your car up and return it to you, they do not offer me this service. They don't offer a refund, discount or anything, I don't even get an apology in person. The only apology I ever received was via text after they secured my plate. That apology was preceded by the sentence, "There doesn't appear to be GREAT damage to your skidplate". Oh cool, your shop's incompetence damaged my car, but at least it's not "Great" damage. They give you a 20-point inspection when you get an oil change, 6 of those items are "undercar", but apparently nobody noticed a loose skid plate! Which pretty much makes this whole inspection completely worthless as I don't trust it. To put your family name on this business and offer such a crap service is unfathomable to me. I will never come here again.
