    Mixed thoughts, long story: I brought a used 2002 Audi Allroad in on October 2nd to get any thoughts on the OBD2 faults I was seeing along with a battery charging problem. I drove the vehicle to the shop on battery power only with a new and charged AGM battery and battery light on. I needed to simply know two things: 1. Does this new battery need to be 'coded' for this year/model of vehicle and if so, can the shop do it, thusly turning off the dash battery light? 2. If the previous answer was no, what is the condition of the alternator? (I feared the answer was that it was toast because it meant putting the front of the vehicle in service position and replacing it myself.) The answer I got on this 21 year old alternator was that is was good and sending 13.6V and to tear into the instrument cluster to find the battery light problem. Prior to this, I never saw an increase in voltage between the vehicle being 'on' and then 'started', so I kinda knew the alternator was probably bad and was in denial about it, but needed to know the 'coding' thing, prior to digging into it. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I got the old alternator out and had it tested at two different auto-parts stores where it failed both times. I got the new one and installed it myself and began charging at 14+ volts and the battery dash light went off immediately. Next I installed the new MAF assembly and every code disappeared and the car ran great. (Remaining crankcase sensor fault was alleviated with a replacement shortly after.) Net sum: I paid $337.04 to have the alternator misdiagnosed (Apparently only the existing battery charge was taken from the alternator positive terminal to ground when tested?) The advisement to clean or replace MAF sensor was sound, but only after knowing it could be obtained for a 'reasonable' price online...not $700 I was quoted...and it's ridiculously easy to install...so it was worth a 'shot' to try. For some reason I also got brake pad thickness and tire tread depth, which was not really what I 'needed' or really asked for. Also, I put all my requests within the online appointment scheduler, but when I went in, I had to 'start over' with the explanation of what I needed as the original request couldn't be 'found'. When I picked up the car, it was closing time and after starting the car and noticed the battery light was still on, and thinking I heard that it was able to be successfully cleared, got out and asked the counter tech that I had been talking to as he was walking to his car. He said no, the light couldn't be cleared and I asked if they had 'seen' this vehicle before as the prior owner recommended AutoHaus, and he said something like 'Oh yea...it's been in before.', which was unsettling...however, within the same conversation but regarding how the car was running overall, he said "Hey, if you can get a MAF sensor for a reasonable price, that might clear up a lot of what you're seeing." I've learned a lot, have done a lot of work on this car, and spent some money, but this bill still hurts when I think back about it now. I feel like something needed to be said. For the money I feel like I got a red herring diagnosis on the alternator, some miscellaneous information about my brakes and tires and some shadetree advice about what to do next for how it was running. For all that, I'd be willing to put up a Benjamin....not 3+ of them. The whole experience was just not great, from not 'knowing' what I asked for in the appointment, to not getting a quote as to how much it all would cost upfront, to seemingly getting the best advice in the parking lot as I was leaving. I did get a $50 'first time customer' discount, which seems more like an insult than a benefit. However, having the car up on jack stands for three days and teaching my son how to take apart and reassemble the front and various parts of an Audi...priceless.

    These guys are great! Extremely professional! My front windshield is perfect. I am going back to do the rest of my car and would not use another company.

    Used to be my favorite car shop, but then they got into the window tinting business. Good with oil changes but not much else.

When I got home I realized that the my bumper was bent downward and that the impact had driven my bumper into the body of my car making small dents. I called the manager (assistant) Levi who told me that they would dispute the damage and that he could make it right if I bought a set of tires. Honestly I don't know what to say. If you damage someone's car don't you just repair it and move on. Discount Tire has to have revenues per day that are in the millions. Take care of your customers...repair the damage you did...and have an excellent reputation that drives more business your way. Do not tell your customer you can fix the damage you caused to my car if he or she is willing to buy a set of tires. Honestly, my head is still spinning that anyone would even try this. Such a shame as Discount Tire has been my go to for years and we buy all our tires from them. I have been recommending them to all my friends for a very long time, not sure I will be doing that in the future.

As mentioned in multiple reviews here (that I wish I had read before my appointment), they do not take women seriously and they lie to their customers. Here is a more detailed explanation of what happened: Two days ago, I stopped by Big O and talked to Brian to request an alignment check and to have them look at snow tires I recently had put on the car to make sure they were properly installed. Brian made an appointment for me to come back at 10am the following day. When I came for my appointment, they checked me in and I said I would wait nearby while they worked on my car. They estimated it would take two hours and they would call me when it was done. Three hours later I hadn't heard anything so I called for an update. They hadn't looked at the car yet, but promised it was next in line. Four and a half hours in, I still hadn't heard anything, so I called again for an update. They said that my car was "up in the air" being worked on and they would call with an update in 20 minutes. They never called, so five and a half hours in, I called for another update. Now they said that they were working to identify the issue and were waiting to do a test drive of my car and would call me soon. Again, no word, and I called again at six and half hours in. They said they were now doing the test drive and would call soon. They never called, so seven hours in, I called for an update. They were rude and condescending, and told me that they couldn't find any issues after their extensive testing, and that if I was tired of waiting I should pick up the car and take it to the dealership or a different garage, so I said that I would come get the car. I went in to pick up the car right after, and talked to Brian. He told me that they had done extensive testing and took off all of the wheels and carefully checked everything before putting them back on the car. I asked for a printout showing the results of the alignment check and what tests and services they had done. He became flustered and admitted that they did not actually do the alignment check that I made the appointment for. In fact, there was no record in their computer of any services or tests having been done, so I asked Brian to write down what they checked so I could have it for my records. He wrote that they "checked wheel weights" and "checked backing plates." I asked why they kept my car for over seven hours without doing the test I specifically requested and he said "I don't know what you want me to to tell you. We dropped the ball." I again asked for an explanation of why they didn't do an alignment check and what they did for seven hours, and Brian told me to call back the next day to talk to D, the manager. I called the next day, and Brian answered the phone. He told me that it was D's day off. I reminded Brian that he had told me to call that day to talk to D, and he said that he had forgotten it was D's day off. Since we were on the phone, I asked Brian to go over the "tests" they allegedly did on the car. What exactly did they do when they "checked the wheel weights" and "checked the backing plates"? He explained that they looked at the wheels to see if they looked okay, and they didn't see anything wrong. I asked if they had done a tire balance check while they had the wheels off the car, and he said no. I asked if it was possible to check the wheel weights and backing plates without removing the wheels, and he admitted that it was possible, but insisted that the really did take the wheels off during their "testing." At this point, I realized that not only did they not do the alignment check I requested, he was probably also lying about everything else. I asked him point blank if they really took the wheels off, and he started getting flustered . "You should talk to D about that." Brian changed his opinion at this point and said that he was now only "90% sure" that they took the wheels off and checked everything. The one positive thing is at least they didn't charge me any money. I just wish that they could have done their pretend testing during the first two hours instead of dragging it out for seven and a half hours and wasting my entire day.

After 10 min it became clear they needed to get into the doghouse I have a conversion van so this meant moving a lot of stuff around. I also have a musculoskeletal disability, and it took me about 20 min to move the vast majority of the stuff which needed to be moved, which was a lot for me, I'm still in pain from it, but I did it because that's what needed to be done, but then I always need help with the 70 lb RV refrigerator. 2 min to do for an able bodied guy. mechanic agreed to do it Then they came back and said they couldn't get to the diagnostic stuff that day. And that if I came back: 1) They'd charge me $100 extra for moving the 70 lb RV fridge in and out. 2) They'd charge me twice as much as they had quoted for 1 hr diagnostic. When asked why the front desk drone blathered something about extra time getting in and out of the doghouse. which takes 5 min. I've taken this van to 6-7 mechanics over the years. When the doghouse has needed to be accessed, this has always been the process. It's never been a problem before. I go out of my way, even injuring myself, to do what I can. And then they help with the RV fridge, which only takes a minute. The Americans with Disabilities Act explicitly states that "reasonable accommodations must be made for individuals with disabilities" To charge them more than twice as much is to punish them for having a disability. The fact that most people with disabilities are socio-economically impacted makes this doubly unethical. Whatever good qualities this shop has, Discrimination agains people with disabilities makes the difference and earns them a 1 star review.
