Worst experience I've ever had getting an oil change paying that kind of money and getting absolutely zero out of it The guy didn't know where my dipstick was I wasn't allowed to get out of the truck to show him they didn't check anything not my tire pressure is not my transmission and fluid not my antifreeze nothing not my lights and when I asked them to check my tire pressure he looked at me and I thought I was he was going to make a deal about it It was horrible never again

1 Star — Extremely Disappointing Experience
This was by far the worst service experience I’ve ever had. I arrived at 11 AM and waited about 40 minutes in line. Once I pulled into Bay #1, I was told they didn’t have the correct oil filter for my vehicle and that I’d need to purchase my own and return.
Before leaving, I asked the on-site manager, Ron, if I’d have to wait again when I came back. His response was, “Maybe there will be a line, maybe not.” When I returned with my own filter, I asked if I could be taken next since I had already waited and was sent out on their request. Ron declined and insisted I go to the back of the line.
I contacted customer care, who attempted to speak with Ron on my behalf, but he still refused to assist me. I ended up waiting an additional hour before being serviced. Customer care did provide a coupon, but it doesn’t make up for the lack of professionalism and poor management I experienced.
I won’t be returning, and I strongly suggest management review how this location treats its customers.
