Called them a day before to check the prices for an oil change and inspection. I was told the oil change is $70 and the inspection was free. They told me I can bring the car in the morning, no need for an appointment. My husband bought the car in and was told there’s another location that they failed to mention over the phone. Once he got to the correct location, My husband told them an oil change and inspection was needed!!! When he picked the car up, we was charged an additional $70 for a wheel alignment that we NEVER ASKED FOR!!! And the inspection was never done. Never again!!! And the customer service there sucks!! We knew exactly what was needed for the car and they decided to do extra and blame us for it!! BS ‼️
