    I took my car into this shop because I wasn't sure it would make it to my usual mechanic. It had a rough idle and a flashing check engine light. They charge a $180 diagnostic fee and said the spark plug, engine coil and valve cover needed replaced. They then quoted me $1400 for this repair. I told them I would get a second opinion and they said they could lower the price to $1000. Which already tells me they were going to ***** me for this repair. The second opinion came out to be only $400, more than a third less than what they offered. They wanted to charge me $1000 more because to them, I was a "dumb broad" that they could *****. Because of this, I will never recommend this business to anyone, especially women, that I know.

    I was a loyal customer for years since 2016, until they sold to the ************ 2022 I had Yokohama tires put on my car at Car X in ************. Early 2024 a nail punctured one tire. Car X could not find it and sent me on my way. They only search the sides, not the top of the tire. I went to ******* ****** in ********* and they found the source of the leak. ****** charged me for the new tire. I went back to Car X and they danced around the fact I purchased these from them and all excuses for not finding the nail that caused said leak. I was left with the short end of the stick. I had my complete brakes installed in 2021. Shortly after they revamped there computer systems. 2024 i needed another overhaul on my brakes. Due to the fact the 2021 brake job was not found in the new database, they were no longer warranted and I had to foot the bill in full. I love my tires. Yokohama tires are a smooth ride and I trust the tires. I am sorely disappointed in Car X for their change in management leaving what was a loyal customer in the dust. I can no longer find my receipts but my credit card statements reflect the ******** the words of a ***** or *****, I'm never going back to Car X again. I mean that in the nicest possible way.

    In a nutshell, because the experience in it self would take forever to type. After paying $1481 for repairs, going back and forth (11 times in total) physically, COUNTLESS calls to the CAR-X, 1 ENTIRE shift being replaced (NO original people who was there when I originally got my car fixed), and NO ANSWERED calls or emails from corporate, MY CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON WITH THE SAME PROBLEM! I remember Car-X locations being around when I was a little kid that was well over three decades ago maybe it's time for this company to go out of business. Because their customer relation service is extremely horrible just like their car repairing.

    Tried to charge me $119 for an oil change, and another near $400 to replace my battery. I went elsewhere and got both things done for under $120.Will not be going there for anything. I'm giving them 2 stars instead of 1 because the dude working was really helpful and nice. But this company is tryna scam people. Over a $100 for an oil change??

    I scheduled an appointment with the service manager to have 2 basic jobs done. Agreed on a price and set the time. When I got there, the desk guy, ***, was rude from the start. He waited until they put my car up and then told me it would be a totally different price for the work. When I refused, he told the mechanics not to lower my car or give it back to me. Words were exchanged and the police had to be called so I could get my property back. This was before any actual work was done by the way, so not a mechanics lien situation. Just a guy being ***** and rude to customers. Unless you like your car getting stolen, don't go here.

    While having my tires replaced, the technician damaged the door lock. After speaking to the manager, he set up an appointment to have a certified tech fix it. The tech failed to fix the door lock, and I had to seek a separate technician elsewhere that said that the pin was knocked out from pushing the key to hard into the lock, and the other tech failed to put a pin in to fix the lock. The shop also stated I declined an alignment on my paperwork, when I specifically requested one to be done. I'm pretty sure that is considered false documentation.

    The car x on *********** needs to be investigated and charged with credit card fraud, theft, breach of contract, and negligence! They take a women's car lie about doing the work charge your credit report finance and let your car slowly break down thinking you will bring go it back and they wont get caught. Well, God had other plans. Shame on you. Even seeing the proof and admitting it these men still couldn't tell me sorry. I was served an eviction notice due to the money I lost from not working and double paying for the same job, diagnostic tests and had to say no body even has the decency to say SORRY! They are the worst kind of person.

    I am sorry that ********* had an unpleasant experience at one of our franchised stores. It was noted that ********* was given a refund and free oil changes. She signed a release as well. The owner for the franchise is perplexed why she decided to post a negative review. Sincerely,
