Do NOT go here! I am in the neighborhood and wanted to check out their services with an oil change. I swung by Thu morning and was told that they don't take a walk in & all appointments need to be made on line. OK, I went home an made an appointment for Fri 8AM - the first appointment for the day. That Thur afternoon, I got a text message "Good afternoon, due to the heat we suggest you dropping the car off at the earliest convenance." Fri morning, I swung by around 0750 and said I'll wait for the service. I was told that they need to car to be dropped and they even sent out the text messages yesterday, notice they spinned the story from their "suggest" text language. They have 12 cars waiting. See message I copied & pasted above. The text message they sent did communicate the situation presented Fri morning when I showed up for my appointments. Text stated "suggested ", nothing about can't do it or won't take "wait" service because there's about 12 other cars; they can't honor their appt and try to blame it on me that I don't respect their machinist's pace due to the heat. That's BS, I understand due to the heat it can takes: longer maybe an 1hr oil change take 2 hrs, which I am OK. But if it's 3 hrs or longer. I don't even talk to their mechanic to disrespect the mechanic. The problem is how they run the shop: they could respect their mechanic by providing (a) a better temperature area, or (b) have more mechanics, or (c) book less , or (d) rescheduled when they are behind. No "suggest" as texted, then don't honor their appointment when their customer showed up, worse try to blame it on their customer. That is disrespectful to their customer, dishonorable, that's not how to run a business. Blame on the heat, their customer, whatever. Who manage the shop? How's their customer suppose to know there shop scheduling/workload issue? Are the customer supposeto manage those isses for them? "Suggest " means what suggest means. There are alternate options a-d which they poorly did not choose to take to manage things according when they run into issues to be respectful to their mechanic & their customer.....take ownership: you are to run your business properly through options a-d or other approaches than accusing your customers after you can't honor your appointment. Pathetic! Do I understand the heat lead to their work issue? YES. Is it acceptable to accuse their customer management & not reschedule things if they are 12 cars behind and wait till their customer show up, turn the customer around and blame onnthe customer? NO, Totally UNACCEPTABLE! I walked away as I can imagine the excuses & unreasonableness when a job is not done right, if I have my car's work done there. Just not worth it!There are plenty of shops around rather than dealing with this types of service and waste your time!
