I had a very frustrating experience with S&J Roadside Service. My family's car was towed from an…read moreapartment complex parking lot, even though parking fees were being paid regularly. The issue arose because the apartment management failed to provide a parking sticker, which is their responsibility. The towing company demanded $290 in cash to release the vehicle, which is suspicious since they only accepted cash payments. When I tried to explain the situation, the staff was dismissive and unprofessional, making the whole experience worse. I strongly advise others to be cautious when dealing with this company. Their lack of transparency, cash-only policy, and poor customer service are concerning.THEY WERE CLEARLY LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO EXTRACT MORE MONEY, EVEN THOUGH WE PAID FOR PARKING EVERY MONTH!"

I went to University Tire after buying a truck from a friend to get a full diagnostic done. The…read morediagnostic alone was $150 which didn't go toward any repairs, and in hindsight should have been my first red flag. After the inspection, I was told the only issues were the power steering pump and a couple of hoses, and I was given a very high quote based solely on those items. No other problems were mentioned. I approved the repair, picked the truck up, and drove it for about 20 minutes to make sure the power steering felt right. When I got home and opened the hood to check things over, I immediately noticed a coolant leak on the opposite side of the engine bay. My brake booster was wet, my heater core hose had a coolant leak, and my coolant reservoir return hose wasn't even connected or clamped. I also checked the work they did and saw the clamp on the power steering hose wasn't tightened correctly. If I can spot these issues myself, I feel a trained mechanic should have identified them during the diagnostic especially since I paid specifically for that service. These items should have been noted and included in the quote, even if it meant a higher repair cost. Instead, only the steering components were mentioned. They told me to come back the next day for a cooling-system pressure test because they were too busy to handle it the same day, but I believe that should have been part of the original diagnostic. Now I have to make another trip, and at no point did anyone communicate that more issues existed beyond what they repaired. They told me the diagnostic was to check all systems, which is the only reason I agreed to pay for it yet I still ended up discovering multiple problems on my own afterward! They only reason I did not put 1 star is because the power steering is restored for now and there was miscommunication one front desk person said it was a full inspection the other said it was an inspection based only on your complaints. Regardless if you smell coolant and see coolant let me know it needs to be fixed
