    Before you come to this dealership, check the Yelp reviews because they provide the most honest feedback. This dealership is incorrectly doing oil changes and doing damage to people's cars. Friday, May 11 I had a belt snap on my 2014 Ford Edge. Keep in mind, I'm mechanically inclined and know how to do the repair myself, but I simply didn't have the time. I dropped my car off on May 11, and it stayed overnight because they had to wait a day for the tensioner to come in which is ok and understandable. Also, keep in mind the total for parts was around $200, while they charged me $600 in labor alone. Saturday, May 12 I went to pick up my car, and only two blocks down the street it immediately went into limp mode. The dashboard displayed "Service AdvanceTrac." Usually when this happens, it points to a voltage-related issue. When I brought the car back, that's when my experience turned sour. No one seemed eager to look at the vehicle. Instead, I was being gaslit and told the car may have already had the issue before I brought it in, or that maybe I had done something to it in the past. The car instantly went into limp mode as I drove down the street. Then I was told they wanted to charge me $250 for a diagnostic on a car that had literally just left their lot. After arguing back and forth for a few minutes, my service advisor finally agreed to do the diagnostic for free but I have to keep the car there overnight. I asked to speak with the manager, Paul, and this is where things got even worse. Paul showed zero concern about the situation. When I stepped into his office, he kept typing away on his computer and barely acknowledged me. Eventually he told me to come in, and after I explained everything that happened, he still showed no urgency or concern. All he said was, "We'll do a diagnosis and see you tomorrow." Now another day without my car and they could have easily plugged in a scan tool quickly to see what was happening. No one cared. They didn't offer me a loaner car or made sure I needed a mode of transportation throughout the day. Monday, May 13 My car sat at the dealership for another night. I called right when they opened to get an ETA on the vehicle, and I was told it would be ready by 10 AM. 10 AM came and went with no update, so I called again around 11. I was then told it would be ready by 1 PM. At 1 PM, I still had no response and couldn't even get my service advisor on the phone until around 2 PM. At that point, I was told they were just then plugging the scanner into the car to pull codes. There was absolutely no urgency in addressing my vehicle. I spent a ton of money on Uber already and this 800 dollar repair job has turned into 1000 because of that. I had waited over 24 hours, and they hadn't even scanned the car yet. When I finally came in, I was told my alternator needed to be replaced, even though it's only two years old. Then I was told the pin on my mass airflow sensor was broken, which they claimed was the main cause of the car going into limp mode. The service advisor tried to tell me that when my belt snapped, it somehow caused the pin on the mass airflow sensor to break. And the wire to the sensor was ripped as well. I know this is from a lack of care from the techs part. I know for a fact one of their technicians broke it and is refusing to own up to it. But that's fine. This vehicle has service records and it will be an easy fight to win. I gathered all the documentation I needed to proceed further. Have a good day. Owen is a good service advisor but he works with poor managers and techs

    Came in for a FREE complimentary oil change... almost left with an $1,100 bill from damages occurred while in their service. Took my car to the dealership thinking I was getting a simple complimentary service. Instead, I'm told my oil pan is suddenly destroyed and needs to be replaced for over a thousand dollars. Their explanation? "No issues removing the bolt"... but somehow the threads magically disappeared right after. What's even better? The drain bolt they handed back had metal shavings all over it but I'm supposed to believe this was "pre-existing." So let me get this straight, everything was fine until they touched it. To top it off, Service Manager Paul Galvao decided the best way to handle the situation was by raising his voice and pointing his finger at my mother. Completely disrespectful, unprofessional, and honestly embarrassing for a business that claims to value its customers. The only bright spot was Service Advisor Owen Rogers, who actually stepped in to de-escalate his own manager and tried to help. He deserves recognition. In the end, they put in a temporary oversized plug just so I could leave because yes, the damage is real but the responsibility? Still being dodged. I feel completely wronged by this experience, and can not even imagine what they do to other vulnerable customers. A complaint has been filed with the Bureau of Automotive Repair, and until this situation is made right, this is a zero-star experience in my book.

Back…read morein 2018 a man named Glen helped me choose wiper blades at the Castro Valley O'Rielly Auto Parts. I never forgot how cool that was to not only have help finding the correct set, but also getting help installing them too. I happened to be in San Leandro and since a storm is coming in a few days it was high time for new blades. A man named Henry was there to greet me as soon as I walked in the door. He was kind, friendly, and incredibly helpful as he selected new Bosch wiper blades for my Mazda Miata. Turns out Henry trained Glen way back in the day so it makes sense I'd get the same warm, concierge-level care. Since I just had a medical procedure on my right hand, Henry was happy to put the new blades on my car. It was a wonderful experience. The store is clean, well stocked, and in neat order. The parking lot is also big and easy to get in and out of. But the customer service is just top-notch. I am so grateful. Thank you Henry!

    If You Wanna Get Robbed, This Is the Spot…read more I genuinely cannot believe this experience. They Took My Money, That's About It I purchased brake pads online, received a confirmation number, an invoice, pickup instructions, and was charged $66.44. The money was removed from my account. I have the receipt. I have the barcode. I have the order number. I even have the return instructions listed at the bottom. Turns out I didn't need the brake pads anymore. No problem, right? I figured I'd simply pick them up and immediately return them. Wrong. When I went to the store, the assistant manager refused to give me the part. He said the order was "processing" and "on hold" and then proceeded to say that we never bought it -- despite me showing the confirmation number, invoice, barcode, and proof that the money was already taken from my bank account. His response? "Yeah, that doesn't mean anything. You need to speak to a store manager." Professional Money Collectors, Amateur Problem Solvers I'm sorry... what? Since when does picking up and returning an item require a STORE MANAGER? What kind of business model makes a basic pickup and return so complicated that management needs to be summoned like we're authorizing a merger? And the best part? It was the ASSISTANT MANAGER giving us a hard time. So let me get this straight: You took my money. You confirmed my order. You sent pickup instructions. But now I can't get the item, and I also can't return it -- unless the store manager personally blesses the transaction? Should I bring the CEO next time? Do y'all need my Social Security number too? Should I file paperwork with the federal government? Get a presidential pardon before I'm allowed to process a refund? At this point we paid for brake pads we weren't allowed to receive and weren't allowed to return. That's not a "processing delay." That's absurd. If an assistant manager cannot handle a basic pickup and return with clear documentation and payment confirmation, that raises serious questions about competency and training. We walked out without the part and without our money. That's not customer service -- that's a circus. Fix your systems. Train your staff. And maybe empower your management to process a simple transaction without requiring an executive summit. Unbelievable. They Took My Money and Told Me It 'Doesn't Mean Anything Man I love getting robbed, I can't wait to shop here again just so I can get my money taken away from me Keep playing with me like I don't come with consequences Y'all testing me like I don't know how to escalate Keep testing me... I promise I'm one inconvenience away from becoming a different person

I…read morespoke with the owner about getting paint for my pure white Volkswagen, and they assured me they could help. Following their instructions, I visited in person to place the order and paid $28 for a tiny amount of paint--barely enough to cover a fender. As a first-time DIY painter, I asked the staff many questions, including which sandpaper to use, but the employee was clueless, didn't seek help, and even tried to charge me twice because they forgot I'd already paid. No one advised me on proper application, like priming or scuffing the clear coat before painting. I mistakenly painted directly onto the clear coat, and the low-quality clear coat I bought from them left a sticky, mildew-like finish with dirt embedded in it after drying. It dried like jelly, not like normal clear coat, even after two coats. When I called to explain this to the manager, he was rude, hung up on me, and said, "We don't answer questions. You should know how to do everything." He bragged about being in business for 73 years, implying they don't need to care about customers or competition. The paint cans are a rip-off--less than half-filled, and you have to spray at a specific angle or it just shoots air. To paint a hood, expect to spend $60-$90 for their tiny cans. When I told the manager they should advise customers better, especially given the high prices, he dismissed me completely. I won't be back, and I urge others to read reviews before visiting. Save your money and go somewhere that values customers!

Yes, you read it right, .4ml. I came here with my car's paint code, which is located on the driver's side door. I got an entire spray can of paint for $25 dollars. It took about 10 minutes for them to mix the paint for me. The color match is 99.9%, my eyes can't even see the difference. Highly recommend it if you're here to fix a scratch or get color-matching paint for your car.

I'll be back until I get a new car. Lol But, my recent experience has me questioning that, as they no longer offer lifetime services. I called 2 days on a row, trying to get information on some new tires I didn't see on their website. I wanted to know if they could order them, and, if not, what would be a comparable tire. If they didn't have it, fine. But, the lady told me she would pass my information along to somebody to call me back. Nobody ever did. I called back later that day - about 3 hours later. I think a simple callback could be done within that span of time. Same thing. I guess she couldn't find it if they could order them. I called back the next day. Early. I have them all day, and still nothing. That was yesterday. So, here I am today at 9:20am sitting in the lobby of America's Tire, who gave me a same day appointment, explained the tire difference on the tire in getting (same brand, but different model), and will have me out in about an hour. Pep Boys, you didn't lose my business. But, you're only going to get the lifetime free services I get when I bring it in for an oil change.
