My fiancé and I drove to the local auto center here, and when we arrived, it was getting darker outside, and there were still a few hours yet til the wing closed supposedly. It's wintertime, and in the northeast, especially , we need to be cautious and take certain precautions. We simply needed the snow tires which we had , and even, still have in the back of the vehicle we will be using this winter for such occasions where the tires would be most appropriate and effectively used. Nonetheless. She and I proceeded to check online again so as to ensure we hadn't made a mistake. This wasn't the case, though. No, we'd had it right . There was even a plastic / laminate sign bolted to the outside of the door to the auto center when you pulled up. It states very specific hours, and so I was somewhat irked. That isn't the best part even, no, the best part here is that while we were waiting , idling our engine there double checking which way is up and which is down . Two employees clearly assigned to the auto center emerged, so I proceeded to clink on the window with my Free Mason ring and managed to get their attention. I digress. **(((I will just say this as a sidebar , i have indeed in the past had decent enough experience dealing with this specific locations auto care center. I just was met with no such luck this time around. )))** He approached, and we spoke through the window on the reinforced door Mind you, I'll add the door which not ONCE did he bother to even open, which felt pretty rude to be fair. It was into dusk at this point, and again, the time of year and location is super chilly sometimes. That said, it wasn't even the coldest that it'll be this season , history would say that's just a certainty. Just imagine , you're local, and you have an actual emergency. You're doing something and going somewhere very important. Family stuff. Perhaps something regarding your future in your career. Then......WHAM! BHAM! The tire just suddenly blows! You manage to arrive to the location here, you have an actual emergency, yet you are simply dismissed. Dismissed, paying no mind to the actual detail of the service you needed done, major or minor, such as what happened to my fiancé and I, in the rude manner it occurred nonetheless. Even the management whom I went uo and talked to outside , they were just doing some work outside , looked probably to stretch their legs and have a smoke, but they even told me just to go around and try to find someone in the auto center, after we initially arrived and were met with an apparent ghost town. 5l, they did not regard the auto center to be closed either, mind you. All-in-all, on top a stressful enough afternoon/evening, this was a pretty tiring and disappointing experience! a With that said, I hope ANYONE else who attends the locations has a better outcome and experience than she and I had, that is all.

Bunch of Lazy clowns. Take your car elsewhere. I paid for oil change and fluid check, they put little oil and didn't do any of the fluids. motor started overheating cuz I thought they did everything, If I didn’t know how to check things myself I’d probably have to visit the mechanic or even be replacing the engine soon. the attitude of some of those guys r like they don’t even wanna be there. Never taking my money there Again.
View on GoogleThe 3 stars are strictly for the gentleman and the tyre techs. I bought 4 new tyres with warranty and was charged again for another type warranty and some things I didn't understand so, I asked a few questions to why, after assaulting me for $133 , as I went to leave? Misses Malissa had locked me in. Smh sad times we live on.
View on GoogleDo not go here to get your oil change. I went for an oil change last Saturday, four days later my engine died on me on the highway. I took it to the mechanic shop and it turns out they didn’t put enough oil in my car when I paid $59 for full synthetic oil, and now I have to pay $4500 for a new engine. Do not ever get your oil done here or get any services done at this place. They are horrible, unprofessional, and incompetent people.
View on GoogleUnderstaffed. My new tires weren’t balanced correctly. Went back, still not balanced. Managers are gruff/rude. No one answers the phone. Can’t even get back in to have my tires properly balanced. Now I have to pay to go somewhere else. Walmart should close this shop. Can’t staff it, close it.
