This is mainly because I was not going to spend a ton of money on fancy cars so that they could bang them up. I've learned that most kids treat their first cars like a bumper car. Anyway- that being said- Mr. Wade literally kept both cars operable and in good shape throughout both of their teen driving years. I purchased well-used inexpensive vehicles and just made sure that we stayed in top of issues and repairs as needed. I can't tell you how many times Mr. Wade saved me money by making suggestions and being honest with me when he could have easily taken advantage of my lack of knowledge and made an easy buck. I found him to be honest, hard working, and diligent in making sure my girls were safe on the road. Highly recommend.

Also, a few of her co-workers highly regarded him. $2100 and 1 1/2 months later the vehicle was finally fixed. One of the weeks he was gone for vacation and hasn't taken one in a long time so we gave him the benefit of the doubt. Well, after the vehicle was fixed, I noticed 4 important bolts missing from the intake and one that was stripped out. I also noticed the water pump was still leaking and not sealed properly. When I brought it back and refused to pay anything to fix it, the owner admitted to me that "the boy didn't know what he was doing and told him not to strip it out" If that's the case, then he shouldn't have been touching the vehicle period and shouldn't be working there. After spending this much money, I would expect a better quality job and that the owner himself would look over everything before sending it out. He apologized, and almost didn't want to fix it at first and told me "those bolts really don't do do anything." If that's the case, then they shouldn't have been there in the first place. He did fix the mistake, but I'll never take another vehicle there ever again and would suggest for anyone else not to either.

Caution: I chose Petal Muffler because I needed the…read morecatalytic converter replaced on my Kia Optima. I dealt directly with the owner, Richard. He told me he would install a genuine Kia catalytic converter and explained that my O2 sensors most likely did not need to be replaced. He said they would be cleaned and inspected because, in his experience, they usually were not the cause of the problem. I even verified with the Kia dealership that Petal Muffler purchased parts from them, which gave me confidence in moving forward. I paid half of the cost in cash up front and the remaining balance when the work was completed. Less than 300 miles later, my check engine light came back on with the exact same code that had prompted the repair. When the Kia dealership inspected my vehicle, they found that one of the O2 sensors had been cross-threaded during installation and was not seated properly, preventing it from sealing correctly. They also informed me that the catalytic converter installed on my vehicle was an aftermarket converter rather than a genuine Kia converter, despite my understanding and agreement that a Kia converter would be installed. The Kia service manager contacted Richard to ask what type of catalytic converter had been used. Richard said he would have to research it and call him back, but he never did. When I called Richard myself and explained what Kia had found, he acknowledged that the cross-threading "can happen" and told me to bring the vehicle back so they could fix it. Because I work 12-hour shifts and live in Hattiesburg, scheduling wasn't easy. I was first told they couldn't fit me in because of championship baseball games involving his son. We eventually agreed on a Monday morning appointment at 9:00 a.m. I arrived early and waited. At 9:00 the shop was still closed. I called the business twice with no answer. During one call, the ringing stopped, I said hello several times, and the call disconnected. A few minutes later, Richard called and apologized, saying they had been at baseball championships all weekend and that he would be there in five minutes. He didn't arrive until approximately 9:24 a.m. When he arrived, he walked past me without acknowledging me and went directly to speak with a technician, which arrived at 9:15 and opened up the lobby. The signage beside the front door states business hours 8a-4:30p, M-F. I understand that mistakes can happen in any repair shop. What I cannot overlook is what I experienced as poor communication, lack of follow-through, and not receiving the part I had agreed to pay for. I agreed to pay for a genuine Kia catalytic converter, but according to Kia's inspection and running the serial number on the converter, an aftermarket converter was installed instead. Combined with the improper installation of the O2 sensor, the return of the check engine light within 300 miles, the missed follow-up, and the unprofessional handling of my appointment, this was a very disappointing experience. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision before choosing Petal Muffler.

It includes the melted ice cream, Dairy Queen comment, and the spoon suggestion in a cleaner way. Copy-paste review Stopped at Keith's Superstore #151 on Hwy 49 and had one of those small but frustrating experiences. The staff was friendly, but the setup makes no sense. If you're going to sell ice cream, it might be a good idea to keep the spoons near the ice cream instead of having customers walk all over the store trying to find one after they've already paid. I was told it was "over there... no, around here... near the counter," and by the time I would have actually found the spoons, the ice cream was already melting. I ended up throwing it in the trash, leaving, and driving about two miles down the road to Dairy Queen just to get my ice cream fix. To be honest, the ice cream itself was pretty watery too, so it didn't have much time before it started turning into a milkshake anyway. It just needed to last long enough for me to find a spoon, which apparently was harder than expected. Just a suggestion -- I know it sounds crazy, but putting spoons next to the ice cream might make things a lot easier for customers. Not a huge deal, just one of those little things that could make the place run smoother.

The pump that we were on spewed gas everywhere. We told him and he refused to give the full amount back. Then, we simply asked to transfer the gas to the other pump and he refused to give the amount of gas back that was wasted on the ground. We had to go back in the gas station several times because he continuously acted like he didn't understand what the problem was when it was thoroughly and clearly explained. He was rude and argumentative! He began to pretend that he didn't understand the language, but since he was the only one out front, it was crystal clear that his employer knew that he understood everything very well! He argued and acted like we were trying to take more than we paid for at the pump. It was only less than $2 that he needed to give back!!! We had another place to go and be on time. He cost us at least an extra 20 minutes of time that we should've had to eat and relax. We also had on our Sunday-go-meeting clothes, and ladies, you all know how uncomfortable that can be sometimes. It was 100 degrees!! We were burning up, and that guy made us walk in and out of that gas station over FOUR times, back and forth over LESS THAN $2!! He knew that all he had to do was add it back to the other pump that he told us to move our car over to at that time. He also did not offer any receipt. ALWAYS get a gas receipt there if you just have nowhere else to go besides this awful place. We tried to get receipts at the pump, there was no paper in the machine at the pump for the receipt to be printed on either. It seems that this employee was having a very bad day and was looking for the first customer with any issue that he could take it out on. Horrible experience!!!

So we pulled off to the nearest tire shop, Lil' Tire Shop. They were very quick to take the tire off and evaluate the damage. We were hopeful to get our tire patched, but the technicians showed us the bad news of the sidewall being cut very badly (lucky we didn't have a blowout). We had to get a new tire which unfortunately they didn't have in stock and they informed us it wouldn't arrive for about 4-5 hours. We were okay with waiting, but one of their technicians Bobby decided to personally go pick up the tire we needed to get us back on the road as soon as possible. After he returned with the tire we needed, they were very fast to get it mounted and balanced. We got back on the road no more than 2 hours after we arrived at the shop. We couldn't say enough good things about this shop. Thanks to Bobby and his team of technicians and wonderful staff at the front desk, they turned our nightmare situation into just a small bump in the road.
