Employee charged at me when I waited in the wrong area for air check…read more The sign only said to scan to check in. I waited at that sign for a while and started to think "the sign does not say 'wait here' or 'stop' so therefore I pulled behind the car getting the air checked. The employee made the automatic assumption that I was simply behind the other car because of some other reason than the sign not specifically saying "wait here". He told me very violently if I could wait behind the sign and because of the way he said it I told him the sign does NOT say "wait here" or "stop". He said "I can't have you blocking the bays" and I continued to say "the sign should say 'wait here' or 'stop' and he was just like "yeah okay". I was implying that I did not come behind the other car because im a rude bitch that can not wait. But he was treating me like that so I was explaining that there was no way in hell that I knew to wait there. All the sign says is "scan to check in" it does NOT SAY "WAIT HERE". IT does not say it I was there for a while assuming I wait there but when the while went for a long time I decided that maybe I am doing the wrong thing. The sign does not say "wait here" or "stop" customers do NOT specifically know to actually wait there, its only a GUESS to us. And when I told him this, his attitude and the way he spoke to me did NOT change. if your going to CHARGE AT customers that dont wait behind the ambiguous sign by making the correct guess then maybe you should have the sign say "wait here" or "stop" instead of expecting customers to read minds and then getting mad when they dont read minds correctly. He did not at all understand from anyone else's perspective than his own. And even if the sign said "wait here" or "stop" he STILL should not have CHARGED AT MY CAR and spoke to me in an aggressive manner that sounded like he was going to start a fight with me for making a mistake. Whomever was working there yesterday for the air check needs to not treat customers in such a way that is so rude the customer thinks the employee is trying to start a fight. If your employees are going to possibly take it so personally when customers do not wait in the correct area for an air check then this location definitely needs to add to the sign "wait here" or "stop" not just "check in" . Either fire the employee or put the correct words on the sign so that this guy doesn't try to start fights. He literally, his tone and body language was very aggressive and no one should be experiencing that just because of making a misunderstooding, yet its not my fault the sign is completely and totally missing what the aircheck employee is assuming the customer will just magically know. No one told me to wait there or stop, the sign did not specify it at all. Did I really make a mistake or is this location in need of proper communication skills training? Because after I drive to the wrong area, he tells me to go to the sign, I say "it did not say wait there" then he says "you can't block my bays" which is totally understandable and agreeable but I also informed him that "the sign should say "wait here" and he still did not make the connection. The connection he should have made is that after he said "I can't cars blocking the bay" thats even more validity to having the sign say "wait here" - you know so that customers are actually told in the first place to wait there instead of getting charged and yelled at when they dont. His body language was very AGRESSIVE when he CHARGED at my car like he was going to start a fight which clearly signifys he's operating from his amygdala not his pre-frontal cortex which could have been activated by the heat, so either theres something wrong with this employee or the management should not be having them do air checks like the other discount tire about 15 min from this one due to excussive heat. They should be in the shade and given proper hydration maybe to avoid this. Needless to say I left this location because of his attitude.

Grigg's Auto Body

***Fraudulent unsafe work that resulted in my car getting totaled a year later***…read more February 24, 2025 I got rear ended at a red light on my way to work. The other driver was uninsured. I took my car to a Geico partnered body shop, Grigg's Auto Body, because Geico offers a lifetime warranty if the repairs are not satisfactory. The original estimate was 1-month of work and $6k of damage. I argued with the Geico Adjuster, Rudy, that my car should be totaled because my c-pillar was buckled--indicating extensive damage. I was surprised Geico didn't want to total my car at that time. Once my car was at Grigg's, it went from 1-month repairs to two months and my car still wasn't finished being worked on by Grigg's. I reached the maximum amount that Geico would pay for my rental car so I paid a month out of pocket for my rental car that totaled to $1,300. On April 24, 2025 I told Grigg's and Rudy the adjuster I can't keep paying for the rental car and asked what else needed to be done to my car. Grigg's then said, "oh well it's drivable, we are just missing the Subaru and STI badges on the back." They also installed a not working back up light (some of the LEDs weren't working) and they misplaced a floor mat of mine. So I took pictures of everything reported that to them and Grigg's promised to order those items. However, David at Grigg's tried to argue they don't need to give me a working 4th brake light/reverse light because it was aftermarket and tried to claim that insurance wouldn't cover that when they already installed an aftermarket exhaust that was previously on there. I asked if my car had an alignment done yet and they said no, and stated they would meet me at an alignment shop (Ed Whitehead's was what was suggested by Grigg's) and they would bring a check and pay for it. That never happened. Two more months go by, June 2025, and I reach out asking for those missing items. Grigg's scheduled an appointment with me on June 19th at 9am. I dropped off my car then and six hours later I call back about an update. "Oh I've been trying to call you, my dad ordered the wrong light and we don't have the floor mats yet." Four months of trying to get my car fixed and finished. I called Geico and expressed how upset I was. I threatened a lawyer then and suddenly things were expedited shipping and I asked for photo proof before dropping my car off again. The following week my car mysteriously had zero oil in it which triggered the check engine light and several codes. I got an oil change prior to the accident and regularly check it. It had oil before the accident occurred and my car was only in the hands of Grigg's body shop. I had not taken it to any other shop afterwards at this point. When I brought this to Grigg's attention they only said, "Omgg okay Don't worry good thing you caught it haha." After I put oil in my car it never had another issue since. I do not trust Grigg's Auto Body. On July 1, 2025 Grigg's completed the final missing/broken items, but I refused to let them drive my car to an alignment shop at this point. Fast forward: On November 11, I was driving at night and was passing a tracker trailer when I came upon a huge blown out tire crossing the left lane into the right lane. I swerved left as much as I could without going off the road and it hit my front end cracking the front right bumper. I submitted the claim online and noticed Grigg's was still on Geico's site, but went to with their other partnered body shop called Gerber Collision. Gerber offered to check the work of the old body shop and I agreed because I was unhappy with the trunk bouncing back up when I attempted to close it indicating it wasn't aligned properly and the noise level from the exhaust and rain noise was much louder; almost like there was a hole or something wasn't patched properly. Gerber Collision found fraudulent work done by Grigg's. Grigg's stated in the invoice that they ordered a new metal trunk bed and welded that on. It was still the original damaged one they smoothed out and put bondo over it. Several spots of rusting already occurred and water was standing in the base of my trunk. Gerber Collision also found that Grigg's left a hammer wedged in between metal work under my car. Grigg's only paid for my rental car from April 2025. I still haven't received payment for the newest rental car that I had when Gerber discovered fraudulent and unsafe work done by Grigg's. My car was deemed a total loss by Geico on January 25, 2026 after driving with unsafe work for 10 months. Geico stated Grigg's will be paying them back for the fraudulent work. However, I'm the one who lost my dream car that Subaru does not produce anymore (2020 STI). I was promised a lifetime warranty for the repairs and if the repairs would've been done correctly the first time I would still have my car and not waste money on rental and buying another car.
