    Lower ball joint separated that I was told was fine

    My 98 grand marquis was having issues with squeaky steering. I assumed that I maybe had a bad tie rod end or a bad idler arm. All of which was factory. So I replaced all the steering arms with the exception of the tie rod ends as they were still good. Upon Further inspection I realize that the lower ball joint on the passenger side had a torn boot I knew that this was a tricky job to do on a slanted driveway. So I Made a call to dobbs to get a quote, told them lower ball joint on the PASSENGER SIDE. Got my quote from the service manager and booked my appt. dropped the car off after confirming paperwork and so forth. Took delivery of my car and all seemed well. The next day I made a trip to Home Depot and noticed the steering was still squeaking and wondered what could that be????? I looked under the car and to my horror the passenger ball joint was still there, torn bolt and all. I looked across and the DRIVERS SIDE was all brand new. So I called them up reasonably angry, I didn't yell or curse and I was told "oh yeah our tech looked at it and said the drivers side was the bad side so we replaced that one." I said " that's not what I asked you to do, and why didn't I receive a call stating that, I didn't authorize that work. It was for the passenger side not drivers side" the tech snidely said " well what do you want us to do put the old shit back on???" After speaking to the manager after that we came to an agreement that if I brought the car back and they would re-inspect it to make sure that that ball joint wasn't bad and if it was I would pay for parts and they would cover the labor and when they re-inspected and they assured me nothing was wrong with the passenger ball joint other than the torn boot and they said they filled it with grease and I was good to go. WELL HERE WE ARE. Ball joint separated just like I told them it would. This is my 8 month pregnant wife's car. Thank god she wasn't driving, and thank god I was going slow through my neighborhood. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MY LIFE OR MY UNBORN CHILDS LIFE. This isn't you putting the wrong wiper blades on, you idiots could've killed me! DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE FOR ANYTHING THESE IDIOTS ARE INCOMPETENT.

    If I can give no stars I would! I came to them for a second time to do work on my car because the…read morefirst time was okay. The second time I've informed them that I needed "front end work done." They quoted me $930 plus $130 for a dignostics for all the work needed done. A couple days later I informed them I'm still experiencing noises from the end. They told me I would have to pay another $130 for a diagnositics fee and it was my struts, I stated why wouldn't you add that then to the list of stuff I needed. They were also bery rude. I told myself I would never go to them again! I went to the dealership where I should've went in the first place and my diagnostics stated I my front arm was loose which is one of the services they provided!! Never again! I wouldn't let him change my light bulb. I will be going to small claims on them!

    I took my 2011 Buick LaCrosse w/44k miles to Dobbs in Festus for a $40 AC check b/c it wasn't…read moreblowing cold. I was told it needed a new compressor and would cost $1400 for them to do the repair. I found the OEM part online for a good price and contacted Materz to see if they would install...they would. My $1400 repair would cost me $750 (part and labor). I dropped it off with Matt this AM and received a call shortly after telling me my compressor was perfectly fine and my AC had no freon. He was able to get it up and running for $300! I'll be taking my car back for all future maintenance and repairs.

    Today was my second visit to Oil Time, and just as the first time I wasn't disappointed with the…read moreservice or end result so I decided to add a review of this business. as I stated earlier I have used these guys a couple of times for my oil change. Both times I have come here, there has been no wait for service, which is a plus when you have a tight schedule to meet. I pulled in and was immediately greeted with a friendly smile and how are you today. I told the gentleman what I needed done, and he proceeded to begin working immediately. any questions or concerns I had were answered and taken care of very professionally and very quickly, which is a good sign of customer service being done correctly. I had an oil change done here a few months ago, so when I pulled in today, he was quickly able to pull up my information which speeded the process along rather nicely. they pulled my air filter out and showed me the wear and tear on it, and replaced it at a very minimal cost which is a nice addition to the final outcome of the visit. I was in and out of here in right around 15 minutes, and my short time here was handled quickly and professionally by the staff, they cleaned my windows, and checked my tires and that was something I didn't even ask for, kudos on the customer service skills Oil Time, you have it down to a "T". if your looking for a quick oil change, and are in the Festus area, be sure to stop in at Oil Time, their staff is friendly, helpful and will have you in and out of there in no time, and without spending an arm and a leg on your oil change. These guys know what they are doing, so be sure to check them out to see for yourself...

    Sad day! I have brought all of my cars into OilTime for over 20 years never a problem. Last time I…read morewas in they installed and oversized after market drain plug and didn't report it. I was getting preventative services done at the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and the found the damage done. OilTime would take no responsibility for the mistake and I am deeply disappointed. Be careful the next time you go in it could happen to you. Be sure and ask if everything went ok or perhaps choose a more responsible place to service your vehicle. Lin Grass showed who he is by cursing at me even though I kept a cool head and had definite proof. Good luck Festus community!
