1 /5 Kate M: Avoid This Shop Unless You Enjoy Wasting Money and Time
If I could give zero stars, I would. More than two years ago, I brought my car in for a simple front brake pad and rotor replacement, and nowāafter THREE visits to (supposedly) replace the offending cheap brake pads they originally installedāthe issue of the ongoing, excessive black brake dust covering my front wheels still hasnāt been resolved. Each time, I was assured the problem was taken care ofāand each time, I left with the exact same mess. At this point, Im seriously wondering if this shop ever actually replaced the brake pads after the first time, since thereās never been any evidence that they did.
Rommel is full of promises but short on results. He either doesnāt know what heās doing or simply doesnāt careāand Iām honestly not sure which is worse. When he had the audacity to ask me to bring my car in a FOURTH TIME (seriously?), I instead asked him for a refund of the $604 I had initially paid him. He refused, claiming, "That wouldnāt be fair.ā
ID LOVE TO KNOW WHATāS FAIR ABOUT A 74-YEAR-OLD WOMAN HAVING TO CLEAN SOLID BLACK BRAKE DUST OFF HER FRONT WHEELS (WEEKLY!) FOR 2.5 YEARSāALL THANKS TO THE CHEAP BRAKE PADS ROMMEL USED, WHICH HE (quite laughably) PROMISED ME WERE āBETTER THAN ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.ā
My recent plan was to take this unethical "businessman" (I use that term lightly) to Small Claims Court, but I realized that (Rommel being Rommel) the likelihood of him showing up was pretty much nil. And even if I won the judgmentāas I surely wouldāI would most likely never see a dime of that money again.
If youāre looking for competent, honest auto service, keep driving. This place is where carsāand customer serviceāgo to die.
