    I am leaving this review for a few reasons I work near the store and had mentioned that I would pick my truck up at 7 as I dropped it off around 9am. I do this to be kind and give them time to do the oil change whenever is most convenient for them. The gentlemen told me to have a good day and I walked over to my work. As I went to leave work at 7pm. The store was closed down and no one was there which I found very worrying as I had no way home and all my belongings were in my veichle. The only call I got was at 12:54 that came up as spam and had no voicemail left. I take accountability on my part for not looking up the time they closed but I had also driven by many times and there are still people in there after 7 and I told the staff I would pick it up at 7 and no one stopped to tell me they would be closed by then. I am really disappointed because I was almost stranded 35 minutes away from my home with no way home.

    Came here for an oil change ONLY!!!! of course they are upselling but the man named MARK at the front desk gave a total of $150 oil change and a few other things with a package. We were here from 1:15 until 4:20! Walked in to finally get paid and leave. MARK said it would be $350!!!! He tried lying to my sister that she didn’t ask about the price. When in fact I was right there listening to the whole phone call and asking questions myself. The only reason he fixed the price wasn’t because he felt bad for lying but because we were mad. Disgusting people and bad service. DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Especially don’t talk to mark!

    Worst auto experience ever. Replacing one tire and aligning it cost $500. They are slow and their prices are unreasonably high. Never go there for anything.

    I tried to post earlier and mistakenly gave a 1 Star. This was an error. I very highly rate my experiences here. I have had many oil changes and tire purchases over the years, and all my experiences have been great from start to finish, EVERYTIME. This past week, I had a headlight go out and the team did a great job of securing the best price for a replacement assembly and performed the replacement in a very timely and professional manner. I was very happy about the whole experience. I highly recommend using this location for all your needs. The team here is 5 stars in my opinion.
