      Resolved
      I went into your Willhelm location on ************ on Thursday, July 11th. I went there after getting tests done stating that my alternator was bad. The reason for my testing was that I was having trouble getting my car to start. I went in there and they said that they would be unable to fix it until Saturday the 13th. They call me halfway through the day and tell me that its just a bad battery and that the alternator tested fine. This does not make any sense to me based on how an alternator works. They refused to change the alternator. On top of that, they threw out my battery and I was forced to buy the battery that they had placed in my car without my consent. Upon leaving your shop, I went to two other auto stores. Both of their test read once again that my alternator was bad. Two days later on Tuesday the 17th my battery light comes on. I go and get a test done and my battery is at 44% And my alternator was still testing bad. After a tow, I was finally able to get a mechanic who replaced the alternator for me. They showed me the alternator reading which I have a photo of and it certainly was out of the range. It was below the 13.8 to 14. I am very disappointed in my experience with your company and your lack of integrity. I went in for specific issue. You wouldnt take care of it and it caused me much distress that could have been avoided. You either have a bad alternator test or and incompetent mechanic. I am requesting a full refund of my battery for $199.57. ****** was so focused on why he had earned our business. He lost it when he he allowed work on my car to be done with out my consent. Please make this right.

      ****Do not use Wilhelm Automotive****Brought my vehicle to Wilhem for repair on Wednesday. They told me the issue was a battery cable. I had them make the repair, paid for it and I picked it up Friday. I drove less than a mile home and when I turned it off, it would not start. I had to tow it back to Wilhelm. On Saturday they said they couldn't get to it but would call me Monday. Monday rolls around and nothing. I call and they tell me the "master technician" will take a look at it at 7 am Tuesday and they will call me by 830 am. It is now 1 in the afternoon and they still haven't called. I go in and now they are trying to say it is a separate issue and try to charge me for more repairs. If you tell me this is the issue and I pay you to fix it, there should not be the same issue after I drive it less than a mile. Unbelievable. Would give 0 stars if I could.
