This will be a long review but I urge anyone considering having their vehicle serviced here to heed my advice. To your service department- if YOU don’t stand behind your work, why should I trust you? Last year our truck was serviced by them, we got new tires put on. Admittedly, we haven’t gotten the tires rotated since then. (I’ve also admittedly gone 1-2 years without rotating on past vehicles and never experienced this before). We were performing simple brake maintenance on our truck and lo and behold, the driver side lug nuts won’t budge. We got 1 lug nut off, the rest are stuck on. we tried the basic tools- 4way lug wrench, breaker bar… ended up BREAKING a 3/4inch Milwaukee breaker bar trying to get this tire off. Bought an impact gun, thinking this would help- NOPE. Walmart’s automotive tried their air-impact. Nothing. We are both exhausted blue collar workers and it just so happens I specialize in taking tires off in my line of work. I’ve never seen lug nuts I can’t get off. I thought if this business had any dignity, they’d help get off the tire THEY put on and stand behind their work. They told us if they break the studs or lug nuts that we’d be paying. That just doesn’t sound right to me. I already have very little trust for them, it seems to me like they over-tightened so we’d have no choice to come back. Their service advisor tried telling us 4 lug nuts would be $100. Thanks for the subtle hint that you think we’re stupid and that you were already plotting on ways to get money. I should have known after working in a dealership not to trust one, I just figured this place would have a shred of decency. We’re not trying to get over on anyone, we just want this fixed so we can go on with our lives and get to and from work. I spoke with the service manager, and he insisted that the tires have been off and rotated since they serviced them. NEWSFLASH- we wouldn’t be having this issue if that was the case. The tires are only 1 year old, and if lack of rotating was the issue, then how did we get the passenger side off with no issue? After the service managers not-so-subtle jab at us hinting that we are liars, I decided I would absolutely not let them touch our vehicle. To any potential customer reading this- if you read any review and listen, let it be this one. These people have no dignity, no integrity, and god only knows what would have happened if we didn’t ask the right questions before they took the car out of our sight to work on it. From outright lying to our face about the cost of 4 lug nuts, trying to insinuate that we were lying about rotating the tires and downplay the damage they created. Between the price of the broken breaker bar, the replacement, and the impact wrench we had to buy to try to bust these lug nuts loose- you people already costed us a bunch of money and hurt our trust of a so-called “reputable” dealership. The least you could have done is help fix the f-up you made. My much more experienced master-tech mechanic of 30 years father even said “Yep, get out of there. They’re just jerking you around, those service departments don’t make much money for dealerships so they try to milk every servicing they can.”
And you better believe, if and when we get these lug nuts off i’ll be looking to see if these people put lock tite on there. The entirety of the time I spent in there this morning was an insult to my intelligence. They were thinking I was just some “dumb woman” they could get over on. I do roadside assistance for a living. Over 250 flat tires I’ve changed and never ran into a lug nut I couldn’t get off.
