Original quoted $675 for new tires and alignment. When I went to pick it up I was told the alignment was an additional $129. They also tried to say my windshield wipers I got replaced a month ago needed to be replaced. Make sure to confirm everything when you make you appointment with the call center because they don’t always give the shop all the information. The manager was able to help some with the alignment but the miscommunication did cost me an extra $50 bucks.

Since changing ownership, this location has unfortunately gone downhill and is no longer somewhere we trust with our vehicles. We experienced oil leaks on two separate cars because the oil filters were not tightened properly. After they checked an air filter on another visit, the housing was not reinstalled correctly, causing an airflow issue that triggered the check engine light. These are basic maintenance items, yet the mistakes ended up costing us additional money, time, and stress to resolve. Prices have also become unreasonable. We were charged over $160 for an oil change on a large SUV with aftermarket filters, compared with approximately $115 at the dealership. Between the high prices and repeated careless mistakes, we won't be returning. I would steer clear and take your vehicle elsewhere.
