** BEWARE ** WORTH THE READ** part 3 of 3
More examples of abuse:
$600 in rental car fees completely declined by Wastler during the time that the other shop was diagnosing no heat condition that Wastler caused by their "professionally recommended services." BG paid for the repair. Wastler did nothing. No phone calls. No visit to the other shop to see first hand what his business did to my son's car.
Wastler extended absolutely nothing other than give us the phone number of BG claims. Even BG states conditions for use of their products - my son's car did not need any of this. Disgusting selfish behavior from a businessowner down through the ranks. This is demonstrative of their corporate mission and purpose.
Timing Belt replacement interval is 105,000. Why was this recommended at 60K??
- Honda timing belts are due at 105k or 7 years. Why do it at 60k??
- Why was he charged for a coolant exchange during a timing belt and water pump replacement when coolant must be drained to do the water pump?
- The labor for the timing belt job should have included the coolant replacement labor. The number of times the coolant was done, why wouldn't you drain the coolant into a container to reuse out of respect for your customer?
$69.73 in shop supplies?? Most shops have a max cap
0w20 Synthetic bulk oil charged at $10.87 a quart. Mobile 1 is less money per quart.

BG MOA® is the number one engine oil supplement! In a recent survey, dealership service managers chose BG MOA® 8 to 1 over the next aftermarket supplier.
Engines are running at higher temperatures than ever before. This, combined with the increasing regularity of stop-and-go driving, cause rapid depletion of critical oil additives. Without these protective additives, severe engine oil oxidation occurs. Oxidation reduces oil to heavy, black sludge in the crankcase, oil screens, oil passages, rocker arms and other critical areas of the engine.
BG MOA® fortifies all qualities of engine oil, providing superior, long-lasting engine protection and maintain peak engine performance. It prevents engine oil oxidation and thickening under even the most intense driving conditions. When installed by a professional, it keeps engine components clean to help extend engine life and reduce cost of operation.
- Excerpt from BG website
Excessive for year and mileage of vehicle. Oil changes done with fully synthetic oil and on time.
A professional shop should honor their customers, not undermine their confidence in their vehicle for their own profit.
Mr. Wastler, please know that we did exactly what any shop wants from their customers - made appointments, paid timely and came back for the next oil change. In return, you and your team have disrespected not only my son, but your own business. You cannot successfully own and run a business with these kinds of predatory business practices.
The shop that gave us the second opinion called Wastler. The representative at Wastler gave us the information for the BG warranty claim process. No one showed concern or even interest. My son spent over $5300 in maintenance alone (other than resurfacing rotors once) on a brand new car, with not only your approval but to support your operating principles that you impart to your team. We are good hardworking people just like most Carroll County folks.
The owner did not speak to us, did not go to the shop to evaluate the car. Did not contact my son regarding this at all.
MY SON IS GUILTY OF TRUSTING YOUR SHOP.
YOUR SHOP IS GUILTY OF VIOLATING THAT TRUST AS SHOWN ABOVE.
CARROLL COUNTIANS DESERVE BETTER MR. WASTLER.
We will not return to your business. We will post this review on every public venue possible so that all other families make a better choice for their families' safety.
I look forward to your response. read more
