BUYER BEWARE - Hidden up-charge
I tried your shop due to the New Year oil change coupon I got in the mail. After making an appointment on the phone I gave year, make, model, & engine size.I showed up early and was again asked the same information. After an hour pasted my appointment time I was informed that my oil filter was not in stock and would be there in about 5 minutes. I was checked out at 5:18 for a 4:00 oil change. Your $28.95 with $1.37 tax oil change cost me $36,45. I asked why it was so high and was told about hidden fees (my words not your employee) he said everyone charges those fees. Well I've been getting oil changes for 50 years. First time ever. Great promotion till the up charge. Your staff was great, your customer comfort was second to none. However I will not be returning due to this experience.

I’ve mostly used Tuffy for oil changes and tire rotations. They did once discover a brake caliper leak and fixed it for me at a reasonable price. They are quick and efficient. Since they are a full service shop and I’d consider using them for other services as they come up.

Definitely the worst shop around they will overcharge you for everything and not keep you updated on what they are doing to your vehicle. Tried to charge me like 300 extra for new o2 sensors that they never even mentioned they were already installed. OVERPRICED!!!!
