I'm exhausted with complaining about the Avis location at 4204 W. Broad Street, Richmond VA. I don't know if this location is cursed or just unprofessional, I say unprofessional. My present rental from hell, is currently in the status of two very bad tires. Avis told us to drive the unsafe tires to Pepboys to get the tires fixed. Why are taking the car to the tire shop? Why didn't Avis take the car to the shop? Just found out two days ago that the front tires were bald. Aren't the vehicles supposed to be checked and serviced? But, I will say, it has After all of the running around, Avis decides not to repair the tires. My wife, the supposed maintenance driver for Avis, drove the car back to Avis and sat in the office for TWO hours. Then, again, we were again told to take the rental back to the tire shop and wait for approval to to replace the tires. A mile from the rental office the tire blew. We sat in the hot desert heat for three miserable hours waiting on Avis roadside assistance. During the three hours of starvation, didn't hear a response from roadside assistance. I did the chat and was told that it would take about 15 minutes to locate the service assistance. Never received any phone call from Avis or service. Tried to call the rental office, and they will not answer the phone. At this time I have a rental car that I can't drive. This is one of the worst rental experiences that I've had. And, this location is usually the problem, but there is another location a couple of miles down the street that rented us a car with a blown engine. This happened 11\2 days before my rental ended. Avis would not compensate me for the days lost nor refund us any money. Avis, other than the government, is the rip-off Capitol of the U.S.
