These guys are scammers!!! I called them on a Monday and asked if they could handle a RAM 3500 on their hoist for a tire/wheel balance. This is something that should take about 1 1/2 hours as mine is a dually, with a cost of about $30 per tire...$215.00 with tax roughly. They said we'll need the truck for the day. I said "ok" but I wondered why they wanted it for the day. We dropped the truck off at 8am on the following Friday.....had to wait all week for a balance!!! At about 1:30pm I get a call from a woman, not the guy I dropped the truck off to, saying " Your inspection is done." I was like, "What?" "I asked you guys to balance my tires." Long argument ensues, she tries to tell me my truck is unsafe for the road and after being challenged on their little "fishing expedition" she told me to just come and get my truck!!!! No work done, one week wasted waiting and a day wasted driving back and forth to the shop....Total bait and switch scammers....stay away!!!!
Lee…you had to wait all week for a tire balance because we are fully booked serving our customers. Usually we book about a week in advance. If you were in a rush and needed it sooner, when told the timeline you had the option to call around to find another shop that could get it done sooner, and you chose not to. I guess you weren’t in a rush?
You were told your vehicle is unsafe for the road because IT IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD! You have a seized brake caliper and ZERO brake pads. You could kill someone driving around like this. There are also numerous other worn out parts in your front suspension that require urgent attention. Tire balance is way way down the list of what this vehicle requires. Also your vehicle has been illegally modified removing emissions equipment.
I would also like to remind you that we are a licensed vehicle inspection facility. If you will not maintain your vehicle to a level that is safe for the road - PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE IT ON THE ROAD!!! You were notified of this in writing on your invoice. If you are in an accident driving a vehicle that you have been informed is not safe for the road you can be held legally responsible and your insurance will not cover anything.
