Would recommend assuring details are correct for parts and more effective communication and transparency with clients. My experience below:
I went in at 8:15 to get my tire patched, the front desk kindly said they could fix it but it would be 10 minutes until a mechanic would be arriving. I agreed to wait.
After waiting, someone comes in and mentions my back tires are worn and recommends I change them. I let him know that in the past my tires had to be ordered, he assured me he “has them in the back.” After some hesitation, due to an appointment I had at 9:30, I agreed.
While I waited, I heard conversations of what seemed to be mistakes and errors. I ignored them assuming, if it had to do with my vehicle I’d be informed.
At the 9:49 mark, I become frustrated, and asked an estimate on time, until then I was informed that the wrong tires were ordered and it would take 40 minutes to get the correct ones. The same tires I was told were “in the back”
Finally, I asked for them to please place my old tires and patch. Moments later, I’m informed that the tire cannot be patched since it is in the sidewall and would need to be replaced.
Meaning that the tire was not evaluated when I first brought it in, I asked if air was added to my tire so I could get home. They said yes. Upon leaving, I noticed the PSI was the same as when I came in.
All in all, I waited 1 hour and 45 minutes for no work to be done on my car. If I’d been informed that the nail was on the sidewall from the beginning. I would have been more inclined to wait for new tires. This seemed like a unfortunate choice and I felt like the truth was withheld. I hope this review helps establish better communication practices, since having this business is vital to our small community.
