I brought my vehicle in for an exhaust repair, because it had developed a sudden loud exhaust tone and I could smell exhaust within the vehicle. I arranged to drop it off overnight so that the vehicle's engine would be cold and safer to work on. "Ronaldo" called me with a quote to replace the part of the exhaust that connected to the manifold. It would require replacing the catalytic converter too, because the broken pipe was too close to couple or weld to the catalytic converter. I agreed to having the work done. When I picked up the vehicle it was a little louder than normal, although I expected it to sound different as the shop would probably have gone with a proprietary or aftermarket catalytic converter. I informed the Manager, "Fred" that the vehicle exhaust was a little noisy and I could hear a heatshield making noise. I agreed to take it home and allow the exhaust to settle into it's hangers and if the problem persisted, I'd bring it back. A day or so later the "check engine" light came on and upon inspection I noticed a leak in the exhaust about two feet from the rearend. I immediately called "Fred" and was told to bring it back. "Ronaldo" called me back and told me that a middle rear section of the exhaust needed to be replaced for another 400-something dollars! I asked him why he didn't mention it when he first looked at the vehicle and his response was that he "didn't want to give me a high price"!! I never asked him for any sort of discount, nor did I walk in crying poverty, I went there to fix the problem. Now I was 700-something deep in repairs and absolutely nowhere near resolving the problem!! Furthermore, the vehicle logs showed it never had a "check engine" code before. So obviously the catalytic converter was no good. "Ronaldo" asked me to do him a favor and drive the vehicle for 5000 miles and see if the residue left by the new cat's manufacturing process burned off and stopped triggering a code. I reset the code and while I figured out what to do about the rest of the exhaust, the code came back 2 days later! Enough was enough, I called Ronaldo and was told Fred was "No longer with us". I arranged to bring it back. When I got there I told Ronaldo that I needed the vehicle repaired properly and he told me it was "not his fault" because he didn't work on the car!! Then he had the audacity to say that the vehicle was loud when I brought it in!! I asked him if he tested the car after replacing the catalytic section, his response was a rhetorical "well, what do you want me to do about it"!?! I told him to just start with the cat replacement and we'll circle back. This is the worse place I have ever dealt with. I'm going to file a complaint with the BBB and pursue a resolution in small claims court. Stay away from these people!
******Update******
I called the so-called customer service number and requested a callback from the owner of this particular location, I had to explain everything twice, spoke to three people and had to hang up after being placed on hold, silently; for a half hour. It was a complete waste of time. I'm not going to bother with them anymore, I'll let the court system dictate their next course of action. See you in Small Claims, Meineke!
