I had dropped off my truck to have them inspect an issue with the 4x4 system. After receiving their repair quote, I realized I could not afford the cost. I understand that's not the shop's fault. However, upon getting the truck back, I found a McDonald's receipt inside that showed the employee had stepped out mid-inspection to purchase food. While I can appreciate needing a quick bite, it seems inappropriate to charge a customer for time not fully spent addressing the vehicle repair. I wanted to provide feedback that this did not meet my expectations of paying for labor on actual inspection work.

Work on your customer service! John, who answers the phones is exceptionally rude! Told me my car…read morewas done but wouldn't tell me what they did. Told me to get there before they close if I want to talk to the guy who did it. I said I didn't have a ride so can you have the guy who did it call me. He said they were busy and if I want to talk to them I need to find my way to the shop before they close. So I asked to talk to Mike the owner, he was recommended to me by the guy who I bought my car from, but Mike is also busy and he would leave him and message and see if he might call me back. I just want to know what was done on my car! If I can't get there before closing you want me to pay and you'll leave the key but you won't tell me what work was done! I had a couple simple questions and he was so rude!!

If we have to fix something it's gonna be a lot of money" I needed an alignment and to have my tires rotated "We can look at your a/c for $104 but if something needs to be fixed, it's reeeaaaally expensive". I asked if he could be more specific. "Like $1000". Ok, that's a typical price for an a/c replacement, but this guy and his "expensive" talk is annoying and condescending. He has no idea, and nor is it his business, what people can and cannot afford. It turns out that the work that needed to be done is less than the amount I talked the seller down from his asking price yesterday when I paid cash for the car. It also turns out that I'll be taking the car elsewhere for the repair. The Norm McDonald/Guy Fieri mashup looking guy can keep listening to his Van Halen and being misogynistic all by himself.

I said to install a new timing chain and hydraulic tensioner, and inspect the other parts for any that may be bad. Gill's said they will check all the parts after disassembly. It's a 4 hour job to disassemble the top of the engine. After installing a new timing chain and tensioner, Gill's said they had checked everything, and all was ok. I picked up the car and it was better, but I basically had the same hard starting problem and clackety noise as before. Not wanting to wait 2 more weeks for them to look at it, I took the car to another shop. The second shop found what Gill's missed: a bad intake sprocket. Gill's had said, after the repair, that the sprockets, naming them specifically, were ok. The noise is now gone and my engine runs great.

I'm surprised at the negative feedback on Levin Tire. Maybe they've address the issues that other…read morereviews commented on. I don't know. I do know that over the past two weeks, we've needed work done on both our vehicles and we received excellent service! What was outstanding about their service (and now sets them apart from the other auto service places in Valparaiso - namely Brown's Tire and Heinold & Feller) is that the folks at Levin didn't try to upsell my wife on anything else (such as trying to sell her two more tires, transmission fluid change, etc.). The people at Brown's Tire had told her that she need to replace the timing belt asap and that her car needed about $1,500 worth of other work done. When she asked the mechanics at Levin, they could have easily played on her concerns by reiterating the apparent nonsense Brown's Tire told her. Instead, the assured her that, while she should have the timing belt changed in the future, it didn't need to be as an emergency. They also encouraged her to wait on the other items Brown's had told her needed to be done. On our second vehicle, we had purchased the fuel tank strap with the intent of putting it on ourselves. We weren't able to do that and I called Brown's Tire to see if they would put it on for me. Brown's told me that they would not put these straps on for me, that I would have to purchase the parts from them (they quoted me $150 for them; I paid $40 for them online) and then they quoted me another $150 for labor, for a total of $300. After my wife's great experience with Levin's, I thought I'd ask them. Not only were they willing to use the parts I had purchased, but they charged on $73 for the labor to do the work! Perhaps the biggest factor is finding an auto repair shop you want to stay with is trusting them. After working with Levin Tire's, we trust them and will be using them going forward.

Last month at the beginning of April, I was sexually harassed by an employee at this establishment. I will attach photos here of messages he sent me via my personal phone number by copying it from my profile that was made by the store. Without my consent or pre-approved knowledge this employee paid for a service that I was entrusting the storefronts mechanics to do. This is an older gentleman that had previously been speaking with me about his wife and elderly father in a friendly, NOT inappropriate, manner. Given the light hearted conversation, I consider his act to be one of generosity and age superior kindness. However, once I left the shop is when he began messaging me. As you can see from the messages, I offered to pay him back for this unexpected and unauthorized act he did of his own free will. He proceeded to request sexual favors in return for his decision to pay for my car service. I was dumbfounded and did not respond for a period of time, in which he repeatedly messaged me until I did respond. In response I reflected on how inappropriate the request was. I unfortunately had to encounter him again the next morning, as the shop's team was servicing my vehicle once more. He "apologized" over text and said he too would be professional. All in all this was a terrible, uncomfortable and outright disgusting experience that I had from this shop. It triggered experiences of sexual harassment and assault that have happened to me in the past year, recent and traumatic enough to induce a panic attack response the more I had to reckon with seeing this man again the next day. I would not recommend their services to anyone, but I ESPECIALLY would not recommend these services to any woman, young women especially, due to their own vulnerability. I was leaving the state and moving across the country, I was alone with no family near my home, and this employee tried to take advantage of that in a humiliating and degrading way. To all that read this, please stay safe.
