This must have been one of the WORST car repairing experiences I have encountered. I will describe them in descending order by degree of unbearable:
1. This is the most unacceptable mistake to me. The nuts on one of the wheels are LOOSE and the tire is UNDERPRESSURE when they return the car to me. I drive off the store for about a mile and many warning lights show up on my dashboard, I return to the store to question them about it. When they came out to check my car, they realize the wheel nuts are loose. I was planning to take the highway, imagine what could happen if I didn't go back to the store to confront them. They literally put my and my wife's life in danger once. By the way, this is a picture of the state of my trunk when the car returned to me. What gives them the confidence to charge $85 an hour for a job like this? I saw no respect for customer property here.
2. They inform me that they do not have the rim that fits my car, so they need to order a new one from a dealer in Hartford, which shall arrive on Friday. I am fine with that, as long as it did not delay my plan next week; then on Friday, they told me the rim will not arrive today, so I need to wait until next Tuesday. So I made a plan to pick up my car that same day, and guess what, it got delayed again, by the time I pose this comment, I still haven't got the wheel. And what they did is just put the spare tire on my car, which lead to incident 1 above happens. If they are just gonna put the spare tire on my car, I could have picked up my car a whole week early and won't waste so much time waiting for that rim only God knows when it will arrive.
3. Do not expect to get a warranty from them if you planned to have your car fixed here. When I came down there to get my car, I asked if there is a warranty for the parts they have fixed, the manager immediately jumped out and informed me they do not guarantee the mechanical aspect they have fixed unless it is caused by their fitting craftsmanship and not the parts they ordered from the dealer. The question is, how the hell am I supposed to know the cause if an accident really happens. On top of that, even the "guarantee for their fitting craftsmanship" is a verbal promise, so who knows whether they will fulfill that promise. To be fair, they do promise you will get a warranty for body repair, but I wouldn't know since I didn't get that service here. read more
