      ************************* ************************************************************************ ********************** ************ 07/13/2024 ******************************* **AutoFARency Headquarters** ph:************ Dear BBB cutomer care officer,I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the service and treatment I received at your AutoFARency store (#***). I have a lifetime wheel alignment contract for my vehicle (model year 2021), and despite this, I have encountered repeated issues with receiving the services I am entitled to.On May 2024, I had an appointment for wheel alignment. Despite arriving on time, employee ****** behaved rudely and intentionally delayed servicing my vehicle. He insisted on charging me full price despite my contract, only relenting when I showed email proof. His behavior was not only unprofessional but discriminatory.On July 13, 2024, I had another appointment at 1 PM and arrived at 12:40 PM. ****** again intentionally delayed my service, taking walk-in customers ahead of me. When I complained, I was told by another employee, who refused to provide his name but he supposed to be a manager of store #*** , that I would have to wait another hour. His dismissive attitude and refusal to address my concerns were unacceptable.I have been a loyal customer for seven years, servicing four vehicles at this location. However, the recent treatment I have received under the new management and employees, particularly ******, has been disrespectful and discriminatory. I am requesting an immediate resolution to this matter. I expect a formal apology from both employees involved and assurance that such behavior will not occur again. Additionally, I request that my vehicle be serviced as per my contract without further delay or issues. I request to reimburse my incontinence and west of my time.I look forward to your prompt response and a satisfactory resolution to this matter. Please contact me at your earliest convenience.Sincerely,*************************

      If I could leave no stars I would. DO NOT take your car here. I went in for basic brakes and rotors replacements (mind you, it cost me over $700) but I said okay just because I knew from history replacing the rotors would cost a little extra. From there, I left and the next day my car was making this grinding noise which sounded much worst then when I brought it in the first time. I called that day and who I'm guessing is the manager told me to bring in the next day because it would be an hour and a half before they could see me. I did just that (brought my car in the next day) and was told I needed something that was completely different from what I initially came in for and the part for it would not be ready until the next day. So now at this point, I'm going another day without my car. I go back to pick it up the next morning and have to pay another $900! I drive off and I still hear the same sound! I take it back up to them immediately and they have to keep the car for ANOTHER day! He tells me it's the rotors and all I can think is "didn't I just have the rotors replaced?!". He gives me some b.s. answer and I still have to wait to get another part. I call every few hours checking on the status and the manager continues to give me the run around, "We just got the part in. I'm going to test drive and make sure I don't hear the sound. Just give us a few hours." Just a bunch of mess. I went back up to the shop to check on progress myself and they hadn't even started work on my car, even though the part had came in. Again, I'm given the run around. "They sent the wrong part". By all means, avoid going here (********** W *******, **).
