Went to firestone for a couple of tires told me i needed brakes went to another shop they said i had 30,000lft on them go figure go firestone yo
What state is Scotty in?
a while back took my car to get a coolant flush (didn't reset my Oil change warning – bmw)
"oil was dirty and needs a change" etc
… told him i did my oil change myself and if he wanted me to take off the cap…
dropped it
was at home and wouldn't be for a couple of months
What if you're a older woman with car problem. what do you do???? Been going to this car repair shop…but seems like now I have to keep taking it back for the same problem. Now he charges, a lot more. Feel cheated now. Help Scotty.
There are a lot no more scams than that . But Scotty would have to make a 24 hour video
8:00 Get you one of those cheap foot pumps for your trunk and you won't have to worry about this scam.
My jeep was hit on the back left driver side. We had to wait for the insurance to do their thing and so we had to buy a new tire. Jeep drove all was good just tire flat and back dinged up. The discount tire guys trying telling us that we need our brakes done ect we explained it was just in an accident and its from the accident and they tried convincing my kids dad that no it wasnt and they have to fix it. They tried making him get a credit card ect im like no and the guy got annoyed and an attitude with me and my ex undermining me trying to say pretty sur ethey know more than you. Im like we arent doing it thats it. Guy was pissed. Had the body shop tell us that yes it was due to the accident and all got fixed completely under insurance
Except me and car literal people.
Do you have a shop in Houston?
I used to have an EV and constantly got letters from dealers to change the oil.
Seems funny at the beguinning, but some dealers are scammers
