dropped my car off here at 9am to replace breaks. came after work around 5pm to my car (with no hood) sitting in the rain. I ask why it's sitting in the rain and not under cover and they said they moved it when the breaks on the car didn't fit. so they had my car over 8 hours with no work done to it. check out my car and there was no gas and oil all over my engine and windshield like they were revving my car and doing 2 step. so no work done and they got a little joy ride. when I pulled up all the workers were off to the side smoking while the "manager" was on his phone so loud he didn't even see me walk up. owner is always on "vacation". manager lies and says he doesnt have way to contact owner but come to find out he's the son of the owner. super unprofessional. I hope the slow and bad business continues here until we get a real mechanic in Sanford. read more

if there were a no star rating I would've chosen it. A very nice man asked me to wait and he would fix my tire yesterday when I pulled in without an appt....i had a screw in my tire and needed it removed and a plug put in, it was a tight fit so it was a slow leak and I went nearly 3 weeks before it got so low on air that I noticed the screw in it. the cost was $10 and not much wait I was delighted then another young man said to pull it up and I asked where the guy was that I spoke to, there were 2 men waiting to "fix" my tire and the original man they said had went home.... so they jacked up my car and took the tire off removed the screw and plugged it and put the lugs on and said it was good, I even tipped them $5 extra, but I didn't get down the road 2 miles before it was so low I could feel it driving, I pulled into a shopping center and parked and it was completely flat!! and not from loss of the plug, I don't know anyone here so there wasn't a friend I could call to help and it was dark now and bitter cold long story short I had to buy a gift card to be able to purchase some fix a flat and get it delivered on instacart (thank god for instacart!) before everything closed, I finally got it and saw the puncture where the liquid was leaking out rapidly, a slice , a straight cut in my sidewalk about an inch long, ain't nothing on the road in that 2 miles gonna do that and even if there was.... it would've done it to the part of my tire that meets the road....not on the sidewall that doesn't touch anything, it was deliberate, not sure what the logic was behind it, I'm not returning there for them to "fix" it or anything else on my vehicle ever, so it's not like they'll get any more $ by doing it, and also. im not sure those 2 men were actual employees, one said he worked at the counter inside, that's the only English he said he knew and the one who worked on the tire spoke no English, I just bought this car a month ago full price for cash and it had brand new tires on it when I did, somebody stole those tires and put the used tires on my car a few days after it was purchased, and left 2 lugs off, I had to go buy lugs and that's how I noticed they were swapped, I do not know if the 2 men that were responsible for the slice in my sidewall actually realized at the time the implications they would be causing to the business as a whole by sabotaging my tire, but that is irrelevant at this point. I did call this morning to let someone in charge know, there is quite a hefty language barrier. none the less I got my info across and hung up. There will be no opportunity given to them by me to "make it right" I shop with my feet-meaning If I purchase from a business and it's not good I just don't come back and go somewhere else to spend my money, I'm not gonna argue over$ or service if my purchase is dissatisfying I just go on somewhere else. This was NOT AN ACCIDENT or incompetence anyways, it was a deliberate act and I hope the business owners give those two an earful of what's expected from them as employees when taking care of their customers, because at the end of the day, they are the "face" of the company which simply means what they do puts out a representation of the company as a whole business, and the customers and their $$ money are the ones who pay the bills and fund the paychecks so poor service=less customers=less profit=less work hours= less employees=less inventory=less business and continuing on that cycle means eventually no business at all. People don't go into business for the fun of it, they do it to make $$ So I'm gonna end this review with this: Think twice about taking your cars here especially if you have kids or women who could potentially get stranded as a result like I did, and for the owners I'm giving this advice...for free and it is priceless and takes many years sometimes to learn, so you're welcome in advance and good luck in the future: The KEY to success in life wether it's in business or other things is to put VALUE where it belongs and behave accordingly, PUT VALUE ON PEOPLE, not $$money. If you treat people well that is good service & good business and that will=keep that customer returning PLUS they tell their families and friends=MORE BUSINESS THAT COMES AND RETURNS= MORE &More.....get in that direction and it will grow grow grow, go the other way and it will fail. read more
