      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      In 8/14/23 I dropped off my *** with damage done to the back passenger ***************. I left the car there to get repaired where the car sat outside. When I came to pick up the car the windshield has a massive crack across it that was not there when I dropped off the car. I spoke with the store manager and he was going to cut me a check for the cost of replacing the windshield. When I presented him the bill a technician interjected himself in the conversation to say the windshield had a crack in it when I dropped it off. Which it did not. The technician said he allegedly walks the lot every morning to look for issues to the cars and take pictures to report to the store manager. Although he never told the store manager or took pictures. All I k is is I dropped the car off and the windshield was not cracked. I picked it up and now there is a crack which clearly happened on their property. To resolve this Im asking them to cover to have my windshield replaced.

      This company did a estimate for a job. I got there after towing my vehicle and waiting 28 days for the appointment. When I arrived they said they could not do the repairs. What part of assess damages did they miss? Never use this company!
