I’ve been going to this shop since before I had a license with my dad to get his oil change. Then I took my first vehicle there , then I learnt to do the changes myself and took it to this shop 2 weeks ago out of convenience in the freezing cold. I took my newish truck (23 f150 50k miles) to get an oil change. There never an oil leak on this truck before. After the change I noticed a leak immediately, it continued for a few days so I took a look, the oil cooler was leaking. The store manager Roger told me they refused to take responsibility, I informed them I would be taking legal action. 20 minutes later I get a call from corporate and Roger, they offer to do the filter and new oil … not a solution to the issue. I politely declined. I am now in the process of sending the truck to ford for diagnosis that I can use in court. Very sad to see how this shop has declined.

Looked at the sticker they put in my window. I did a full synthetic oil change. Said it was next due in 3k miles or 3 months. Synthetic is 6k....asked why. They replied that's all they recommended. Just trying to get people to change the more often then needed. Beware!!

I am writing this review while currently getting an oil change and was so impressed with Thomas, his knowledge, his professionalism, and kindness; within minutes you can see his passion for helping people and their cars. He is all about overall safety of the vehicle and their passengers. I can’t say enough about this visit and the people who work at this location! Thank you very much for all that you do! I will be a faithful customer.

2 years in a row I made appointments to get my vehicle inspected and both times I went to my scheduled appointment to find out the tech who does inspections was not there at that time. I wont make that mistake a 3rd year.

The staff at the Vails Gate location are friendly, but they look for any little thing to tack on additional fees to your bill. When I got my oil change they said the price is $106 and then I told them I had a Groupon and they changed the price to $118, I asked why the price increased and the guy says it’s because he had to put in new gaskets.
I go back for an inspection and I’m told that my license plate bulbs are out and need to be replaced, they were just replaced this summer. A $21 inspection cost me $60 because the bulbs had to be changed to pass the inspection. I know next time to inspect and take pictures of my car and all lights before I get another inspection.
