      On 12-28-23 I had a door lock actuator replaced on my 2012 Cadillac CTS at a cost of $479.48. Shortly thereafter the door would not open and close properly and eventually wouldn't open at all. Entering and exiting the vehicle was done from the passenger side door. I returned the vehicle to the shop and a new part was ordered and installed. This took 4 days and in the interim I had to rent a vehicle due to no fault of my own at a cost of $200.58. An invoice was forwarded to the business expressing my request to get reimbursed. The most concerning issue is that once I received my vehicle back, less than 2 days later the interior lights would come on while driving, the door locks would cycle automatically, and the battery died overnight. Totally frustrated, I had my vehicle towed to ****************, and after diagnosis I had to have another door lock installed. No issues with my vehicle at this time. It is my contention that considering the totality of this experience I should be reimbursed the sum of $680.06.

      We do apologize that the customer has had to deal with a situation like this.  In regards to the rental car reimbursement, we are sorry but we do not cover rental vehicles.  As far as the customer expenses the customer incurred at the dealership for another door lock to be installed, this is the first time this has been mentioned to us.  We would need the customer to forward us a copy of the dealership invoice for review.

      I am rejecting this response because: The explanation of my refund request denial appeared to be based on the language used by a technician report rather than the totality of the events that brought me to them. Unsure if I will use this facility in the future.

      Business Response

      Date: 03/13/2024

      We do apologize that the customer feels the way he does.  In the dealership documentation that the customer provided for us, the dealer technician states that he is unable to duplicate the issue that the customer brought the vehicle in for.  This means the repairs we performed on the customer's vehicle was functioning normally and the dealer technician could find no fault with our repair.  Without support documentation stating that our repair had failed, we cannot issue a reimbursement for repairs done at another facility or refund the customer for the repairs they paid for with our company.  It's not just "language", another auto repair technician not affiliated in anyway with our company stated in writing that he could not find anything wrong with our repair and the vehicle is functioning normally.

      Complaint: 21402605

      I am rejecting this response because: I absolutely agree that the technician said that he could not duplicate my vehicles concern at that particular time. He also recommended that I should return when the problem is reoccurring more frequently. I did just that, 2 days later after, the vehicle interior lights wouldn't shut off resulting in a dead battery. On my first visit to PTAC to get the repair done, the wrong part was delivered, had to come back 4 days later. Invoice ****** will verify this. New part installed on 2/7/24 invoice ******. Light and lock issues on 2/8/24. Any reasonable person would conclude that this particular part is the issue. I'm sure you don't have the time or desire review my service history concerning this issue, but if you did you reach a different conclusion. We will have to agree to disagree.Thanks for your time.     
      Sincerely,

      Please note that this is an abridged version. My full complaint against this shop can be seen on their ******** Page On 04/04/2023 I took my **** **** F-150 to the Precision Tune at ******************************************************* because the check engine light was on. Later, they called and told me the grommets for my runner control valve needed to be replaced. Then the valve itself needed to be replaced. They charged me $1723.28. Eight months later the valve went bad. The warranty they offer is two years parts and labor. When I took it back they said they tested the valve and it was working fine, but my whole lower intake manifold was clogged up and needed to be replaced which would be really expensive. I took my truck to another mechanic, and they found out that it was the runner control valve not working, and needed to be replaced, which they did. My truck is running great now. I called the customer service number ************* twice, and each time left a voice message for ******; I also sent and email to ******************************* and as of this writing a month later they have made no attempt to contact me back.

      I brought my car in to this location for an oil change , as I normally do on Monday 12/18. Upon check out ********************* (the district manager) gives her normal end of service recommendations. "Everything looks good, I see you got the work done we recommended last time. Have you ever had you coolant system flusehd? To which I reply -no, should I. And she says-the next time you come on I would suggest a coolant flush. Everything looks good but we highly recommend it. Its on special for $173." I thanked ****** and left. No concerns.Tuesday morning I noticed a puddle on the left(passenger side) of the vehicle. Didnt pay it any attention. On Wednesday morning, the same thing but this time I paid attention. Drove the car to work and notice my temperature gage kept going further and further to the hot side, more than normal as well as I started smelling something funny. Park in a spot that allows me to monitor the liquid on the ground and realized that my car was indeed leaking coolant. End of the day, carefully drove the car home because again the car was running hotter and hotter. Thursday morning started the car to go back to the shop. ****** made it to Precision Tune, which is less than 4 miles from my home, before the car was running completely hot. Advised the manager ****** - to which he says we wouldn't have done anything to cause the issue and suggest the only action is $60 pressure test to see whats causing the issue. Agree to the pressure to test and lowandbehold all of a sudden there is a eak in the radiator. $902 worth of repairs. I agree to the repairs cause I cant drive my car without it. But this was intentional. I have brought my car hear for an oil change and services since 2018 and never once has there been a mention of a leak in the radiator. I've had recent work done somewhere else and no mention of a leak or radiator issues. Before Monday never once did my car temp gage go above half way. now all of a sudden I have a leak in my radiator

      Business Response

      Date: 12/27/2023

      We are sorry the customer is faced with the situation of having to replace their radiator.  This is a wear and tear item.  There's nothing that we could have done to cause physical damage to the radiator.  The customer did reach out to our customer service center and was informed that we would make sure we properly reinstalled her radiator and coolant reservoir caps.  The customer was informed that if the problem persisted beyond that, she would need to pay for diagnostic services to determine the issue.  We could not have caused the damage during an oil change and would not in anyway have caused the problem intentionally.

      I took my ******** benz gl 550 in for a diagnosis due to a small Coolant leak on September 23. I got a call from the tech saying I needed to replace the radiator, engine Coolant overflow hose and upper radiator hose. I asked the tech ******* if it was still drivable for at least a week because I wasn't prepared to spend such a large amount that day. He said yes, long as I keep Coolant in it it will be fine. I picked my truck up from them and went home. The next morning I was driving to church and the truck went crazy, it was shaking, the check engine light came on so I pulled over and what do i see? Fluids spilling out from the front of my truck where they left parts open from the diagnosis and never put the parts back together afterward. I called precision and spoke to **** who said they left my truck apart purposely so it would be less pressure on the radiator and that it was standard. They also left my Coolant tank top loose. My truck was literally still taken apart under my hood. I could clearly see inside. Fast forward and I tried to get them to repair the damage and **** refused to take my car citing that it may have more damage to it. I have spent alot on a rental car, parts, labor and missed time from work trying to rectify their mess up. The parts that they quoted as damaged turned out to not even be the issue and they cost me more money for the misdiagnosis. We asked several other techs at the same company who specialize in ******** if they have to take the car apart to diag it and they said NO. What these guys did was wrong. They have been rude, uncooperative and are highly negligent. The amount I spent on their mess up that they aren't acknowledging is ridiculous and I would like to be reimbursed or I will file a lawsuit.

      I took my car ****** mini van for an oil change and state inspection on 6/15/23. At that time my car's odometer reading was only ******, and they accurately noted that on the state inspection report. But, on the oil change invoice, they put an inaccurate odometer reading of *******, which is a discrepancy of over ****** miles. **** the state inspection and the oil change invoice were on the same date/time. When I noticed inaccurate odometer reading on the invoice, I called Precision Tune and reported the discrepancy. The sales person **************** told me to come by the next day, so they could correct that. I went there the following day, and they made a new invoice with the correct reading. I asked them to make sure they report correct odometer reading to all agencies which keep record of the odometer, so my car's value would not go down. ************** promised to do that and get back with me when it was done. However, when I did not hear from them for a couple of weeks, I called them to inquire about that. They said again they would take care of that. Last week, I checked on the CarFax report and noticed that Precision Tune has not yet corrected the odometer reading and that caused my car's value to drastically diminish. First, Precision Tune reported grossly inaccurate odometer reading, which was an act of negligence. Second, It has been over three months, and they have not fixed their mistake. It is not only unprofessional of them to work in such a negligent manner as to note grossly inaccurate odometer reading, but also reprehensible to display a nonchalant attitude toward correcting it.

      I am rejecting this response because: I have not yet received any confirmation of the correction on CarFax or any other odometer reporting agencies. I provided the e-mail address the company requested the same day but have not received any response. As soon as I receive confirmation of the needed correction, I will submit my response to BBB.

      I am rejecting this response because: I did nor receive any email from Precision Tune. I contacted CarFax directly by submitting the form and providing documentation to correct that. I also have not received any report from Precision Tune to verify that the odometer reading has been corrected at vinaudeit.com and autocheck.com. These agencies also note the odometer record, and Precision Tune has not provide me any copies from these agencies indicating that they have corrected the odometer reading they erroneously reported. Once I receive the verification of correction from vinaudit.com, autocheck.com, and any other odometer reporting agencies, I will advice BBB appropriately.

      The manager of the store is money hungry he lied and told me that my fuel leak had nothing to do with the repair they just did and attempted to charge 300 to find the leak. I took my car to the dealer and got the leak fixed without the $300 finders fee just to find out that the repair they did is full of gas I no longer trust this place with my vehicle! The Manager tried to manipulate me and is not very helpful in fixing the problem or refunding the 295 to go somewhere else.

      We are sorry that *** is having to deal with issues like these on her vehicle.  *** initially brought her vehicle in on 2-27-23 after visiting a local Autozone who told her she needed to have her oxygen sensors replaced.  When she arrived at our facility, we informed her that she needed to have a proper diagnostic procedure performed on her vehicle to determine the root cause(s) of her issues are.  Unfortunately, *** declined said diagnostic procedure.  This is documented on our invoice.  *** asked for an estimate to replace her oxygen sensors and ask for an estimate to replace her spark plugs.  After providing an estimate for both, she only authorized us to replace her oxygen sensors.  Her vehicle is equipped with 2 oxygen sensors.  *** paid us for the sensor replacements and departed.  On 8-18-23, *** returned to our facility asking us to replace her sparkplugs.  Again, we recommended a diagnostic procedure to make sure this was going to be a proper repair.  Again, *** declined the diagnostic service and asked us to replace her sparkplugs.  WE DID EXACTLY AS *** ASKED WHICH WAS REPLACING HER SPARKPLUGS OTHERWISE KNOWN AS A TUNE UP, WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUES SHE WAS HAVING WITH HER VEHICLE.  Obviously, she was not happy about this.  She became very voiceterous and argumentative.  Our center management staff then asked one of ************** to check a few things to see if he could determine the issue.  Unfortunately, ***** vehicle is experiencing multiple issues and WILL REQUIRE a proper diagnostic procedure to be performed on her vehicle.  We nor any other automotive repair facility will perform any such service for free.  We charge $129.90 to diagnose individual issues.  Our $129 diagnostic procedure DOES NOT cover a complete vehicle diagnostic.  It only covers one issue at a time.  Since ***** vehicle is experiencing what appears to be multiple issues, she MAY have to pay for more than one diagnostic service.  During the course of the first diagnostic service, if we determine that all of the issues are related, we will only charge for one diagnostic service.  

      Again, WE DO NOT DIAGNOSE VEHICLES FOR FREE!!!  A diagnostic service/procedure has been recommended to *** on more than one occasion and she has declined them all.  If she is unwilling or unable to pay for a diagnostic procedure, there will be nothing further that we can do for her.  At this time, we cannot and will not issue any refunds or billing adjustments.  We did exactly what she asked us to do!!!  We will be happy to perform the proper diagnostic procedure(s) as long as *** is willing to be responsible for the cost(s).  From there, we will provide *** with an exact estimate of what it will take to repair ***** vehicle.  This diagnostic service may take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours.  It all depends on what's malfunctioning.

      I am rejecting this response because: If I declined diagnostics he still perform diagnostics and charge me and also couldn't find the problem , so what is diagnostics which I paid for and didnt get any answers and after spending almost 6 hrs in that place. Being told they dont know whats wrong , being charged for tuneup and diagnostics to only have save problem . I was told few months back that I need tuneup so I got what they suggested spending more money . This is an money greedy unprofessional company. I been customer for years and it gone to the dogs. The * ratings speaks for them .I want people to know what they do to loyal customers and seniors. Before I left I had several more lights on that werent on and **** had nerve after spending 5 or **** hours why I didnt come back there so they can see , why  these warnings are now showing. You didnt have the answers to first problem .Give full refund and I can go elsewhere. Hope no one treat his parents  this way

      I was sitting in a parking lot and my car started to smoke and it was due to my coolant hose clamp. I had to get my car towed to the last shop that touch it and one of the reps named ******* was being rude and then continued to tell me if it was their fault they would do something . Then the store manager told me they can not reimburse me for the tow because the part was purchased by me. What doesnt make sense , is that the part that got messed up wasnt even apart of the part I bought. It was a part that was already on my car already. If I wouldnt have brought my car to the shop then I wouldnt of had this issue. They was nothing wrong with my vehicle to begin with. I took it there to replace a part that eventually would have needed replacement so I did it, way in advance to be productive. I just want reimbursement for having my car towed to the shop because it wasnt my fault and precision tune auto care in ********* admitted fault.

      We are sorry that the customer has had to deal with this situation.  Unfortunately, this hose clamp that came apart is not something we would have to take apart to replace the customer's waterpump.  The faulty hose clamp was part of the coolant bypass that goes from the thermostat housing to the radiator.  The only hose that we had to disconnect runs from the radiator to the waterpump.  For customer services, we did take care of the customer's issue at no additional charge.  That's as much as we can offer at this time.  Had we had to disconnect the hose & hose clamp in question, we would offer to take care of the customer's towing expenses but we still wouldn't have issued a refund as we would have done the exact same thing we already did which would be to correct the problem at no charge.  The issue with the customer's vehicle has been repaired at no additional cost to the customer.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I was told from the technicians, the rep in the front of the store and the store manager, that it was the stores fault and they apologized to me. The store manager told me that the reason why they couldnt issue a reimbursement was because of the then not buying the part. The technician told me the had to remove the coolant Reservoir and the hose. So now it sounds like the communication between you here and the store is incorrect. All I want it reimbursement for the $150 for the Tow and Ill never visit another precision tune auto care again.

      Dear customer, I'd like to offer my sincerest apologies.  After speaking with our center staff and our district manager, I found out the person you spoke with the day you had your vehicle towed back to us was not the actual store manager.  This person was a "floating" manager who travels from store to store giving our store managers a day off.  I've spoken with this person, our actual store manager, the district manager and even the technician who performed your initial repair work.  After speaking with these individuals, we have determined that we need to reimburse you for your towing expenses.  If you wouldn't mind, please email me a copy of your tow receipt and a good mailing address that you'd like to have the check mailed to and I will get this taken care of for you.  Our email address is ******************************.  If you'd like to discuss this issue further, I'd be happy to speak with you about it.  You may either email the same email address or you're welcome to give me a call at ************ or ************.  Thank you so much for your patience and look forward to hearing from you soon.  Sincerely, ****** - Customer Service.

      I took my 2015 Mercedes Benz SL400 to Precision Tune for Brake Repair. They replaced the brakes and rotors. Afterwards days later I was hearing strange sounds coming from the brakes so I returned to their shop and was told, " Give it a few weeks it will disappear " . The sound continued so I returned and they did a evaluation and said it was a caliper problem and quoted a cost to repair the caliper on the passengerside rear. I was not satisfied because I had already given them over a $1000 to repair my vehicle. So I took it to an import Specialist with 40 years experience for a second opinion. The Specialist was able to determine that the caliper was not the problem but the Precision TUNE technician installed the brake pads incorrectly which caused the caliper to stick. This was also verified by the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. I showed the manager the receipt and also allowed him to speak with the Import Specialist buy now he refuses to return money for reparation repair cost saying, he stand by their service. I gave them 3 visits to fix but when a Import Specialist fixes the problem the refuse to honor a customer rights. I have the right by Law to a second opinion by the Consumer Rights Act.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because: I visited their shop 3 times and was given incorrect diagnosis of my problem.  The installation was done incorrectly therefore I went to a 40 year import Specialist at ***** Imports. My vehicle was repaired. The Precision Tune manager first told me bring the rotors and I would be reimbursed but as soon as I retrieve the faulty equipment he changed his mind and refused to reimburse the damages. I even allowed him to speak to the ***** CEO who stated it was not the caliper as he diagnosed but the pads were incorrectly installed causing the caliper to stick damaging to rotors. I was only given a number for ****** in Customer service ###-###-#### of which I never received a call back. Under the Consumer Protection Act I am lawfully entitled to a second opinion therefore I rights were exercised. I tried calling Customer service with no response.

      Dear customer, we'd like to know if you still have the old parts that were installed by Precision Tune Auto Care.  If so and if you are willing to return them, we will be willing to issue a refund for the rear brake service that we provided you in February.

      I brought my car to this company because my water pump went bad and they had to warranty it out upon doing so I paid to have my timing components and my timing belt changed I also asked why they were inside my timing to change my camshaft seals except it never got changed because the service writer told me it wasn't written down even though I specifically requested it to be done because the parts were only $10 and he was already inside my timing chamber replacing my timing belt and my timing components.... so when I brought my car in for an alignment I asked him about it because ***** was the one that wrote the service for both jobs and he replied it was not written down in the work order which was his fault because I specifically asked for it to be done because I knew there was an oil leak coming from there so when I went to cash out for my alignment they try to charge me different price at which I brought to the lady's attention that I told ***** I had a coupon for an alignment for $69 in her response was it was not written down at that point I couldn't help but think say it ain't so... I am not willing to pay the labor to have the job done again when he was already inside my timing chamber and was supposed to fix it the first time I'm not going to pay for the new parts because now they're going to have to remove my timing belt and my timing components and those are brand spanking new I just put on so now they're going to have to be replaced because the tension put on them when taking them off the slightest Bend can cause my engine to seize

      We do apologize for the issue.  If the customer would like to purchase the seals, we will happily install them at no charge for labor.  If the customer chooses to purchase them from someone other than us, we will still install them at no charge for labor but we would not be able to provide a warranty for items not purchased through us.  To make arrangements, the customer would need to contact our customer service center at ###-###-#### or ###-###-####.
