    I have scheduled an appointment with Bairds auto repair service about a clicking noise that is obvious when you start the vehicle. The vehicle has been in the shop for 2 days for the following timeline and sequence of events. - 2/14/24….received call from repair shop stating that our 2014 Chevy traverse needs new struts ($1000) - agreed to have them replaced due to safety hazard, no asking for money back on this since appreciate the repair (now double checking with another dealer to see if they actually replaced them) - I called same day 2/14/24 after struts agreement and asked about make sure they diagnose clicking sound. They said test drives under way and will get back to me. - called again on 2/14/24 on status and they mentioned techs hear clicking noise on test drives but cannot replicate issue on lift - on 2/14/24, called back once again and told them they can keep car to help with finding root cause. They lady at desk told me they found issue(s) and it would cost me $560 to fix. I agreed to those fixes due to the noise (reminded her multiple times on the issue and resolution) - I waived left rear circuit sensor repair for abs indicator since same lady mentioned it was not needed since not a safety hazard nor clicking issue - 2/15/24 - work was under way for struts and clicking noise on approve from 2/14/24. - 2/16/24 - called dealership on repairs and when good time to pickup vehicle. Told me to pickup vehicle around 12pm since repairs completed and test driven. - 2/16/24 - paid for service of $1,700 and got into vehicle and original issue “clicking noise” was still present. Told dealership of issue and sent me to owner. Took test drive with owner and said old vehicles have tons of noises and ABS issue, how is should sound. - lady at desk said the issues they fixed was for other noises they heard not main one that everyone witnessed when pre/post driving vehicle. Want my $600 back and look at other reviews with same issues!

    My daughters are in Normal going to school. They brought their Pontiac G6 into Bairds for a repair with the steering column. Bairds did the work and we paid. Approximately, 10 months later, the part they replaced failed so they replaced it at no charge. When my daughters picked the car up, the airbag light was on. They called and were told someone would call them back. No one called them back and they forgot about it. a couple months later, when they returned home for a visit, 2 hours away, I saw the light on and asked when it went on. They explained what happened. I called Bairds and Larry told me that he had bought the business from Daryl Gentry right after they fixed my car so they were not responsible for anything and do not have any records of any work done before the business was purchased. He said he would reach out to Daryl to get some information and see what to do. He never called me back so after weeks of waiting, I called again. He gave me the same line of BS again and said he would reach out to Daryl and get bak to me. Once again he never did. I called one last time and again he refused to do anything for me and said the same old BS trying to get me off the phone. The light was not on when we dropped the car off and it was on when it was picked up. They should be responsible for whatever they did when they were fixing the steering column. This is a safety issue and Bairds does not seem to care. This is bad business.
