    Ridiculously overpriced part/service. Wrong fluids put in my Toyota. Was charged for premiums, they put in the cheap (see review
    Indy T.

    Where to begin....... I was in Cincinnati visiting the family when my 18 year old Toyota started leaking antifreeze. Took it to Evan's who has been the long time family mechanic as far back as i can remember. Didn't even think twice about where to take it. 1. I paid $1035.62 for a radiator replacement and antifreeze. Afterwards I spoke with two Toyota dealerships and an independent shop and all 3 said I got taken to the proverbial cleaners. $550 just for an off brand radiator? Either they marked the price of the part way up and profitted on it or they don't do a good job procuring their parts vendors. (See invoice in pictures section). 2. I was charged for premium Toyota Red OEM antifreeze @ $30 per gallon ($60 total). I open the radiator cap once I got back to Indianapolis and what do i find? Green universal antifreeze. I wasn't too worried that green was put in my Toyota, but rather that they used cheap green and charged me for $60 worth of Toyota Red Antifreeze. When I called Brian at Evan's Auto Care he gave me some excuse about how it was a sister vendor of Toyota and it's the same spec. That's false. That doesn't exist. Don't use $5-$10 worth of bulk green and charge me for $60 worth of the Toyota Red. 3. I asked them to do an oil change while they were at it. Brian and I had a discussion about how my 18 year old Toyota has been running conventional for it's whole life so it would be a bad decision to put synthetic oil into it now. We agreed on a conventional oil change. When i took a hard look at the invoice i see that they put in and charged me for synthetic oil. I called Brian and asked him about it. He gave me a run around answer and assured me that they used conventional. Okay, so once again why are you charging me for premium fluids and putting in the cheap stuff? 4. Three days and 150 miles after I got the service and i had returned home to Indianapolis, i noticed the truck was leaking antifreeze. I took it to my local shop here in Indy and the diagnosis is that the radiator was either faulty or it was damaged when it was installed by Evans. Great, so not only was i taken to the cleaners, but the overpriced radiator didn't even make it a week. My Indy shop replaced my radiator, put on a new cap, flushed out my block, put in new antifreeze, add in labor, and the total cost out the door was $484.19 (see invoice in pictures section) That's $551 less than Evans and they did extra work and parts. Looking back on it i should have made better decisions. Get it towed back to Indy with my AAA membership? Throw in a bottle of bars leak radiator leak stopper? One thing is for sure though, this is not the same Evan's auto care that my parents took their vehicles to while i was growing up in Cincinnati. I was taken advantage of, lied to, made to feel dumb over the phone, and then the overpriced part/service failed. Evan's is no longer a family based small independent trustworthy shop. They've hit the big time with their fancy new 10 bay garage and now operate as a true corporation. Don't forget the loyal patrons who helped get you to where you are today.

    I took my car in for a prepurchase inspection and they had me in the next day, with a full report and explained everything easily.

    I'll preface first by saying this is my first ever Yelp review. I'm normally the type to genuinely…read morenot care enough to "slander" a business because I'm hurt I didn't get my way. So just know I'm not "one of those" customers. I'm a girl in her 20s, and I used to only trust Monro with my service. I felt great knowing there was a woman working there, it made me feel like I wasn't being ripped off or taken advantage of for being young and ignorant. But I never really spoke to her, I'd only speak to this man who may have been manager/owner or just the primary desk person. He always seemed a bit condescending to me, but I chalked this up to being tired of angry customers mad they have to pay to maintain their car. I really did think I was getting the best service, and I would convince myself my instincts were wrong and maybe I was insecure because I was in a place with experts on something I didn't know much about. It has been 2 years now since I got a new battery from Monro. I had this battery replaced for a pretty penny, and now 2 years later it needed to be replaced again. The technician told me they used a cheap, low quality battery. They fixed it for about 3/4 the price Monro did without me even mentioning what Monro charged. Also, this is funny to admit but I was told during the battery replacement at Monro that my windshield washer pump was going to cost around 300-400 for service and parts. I declined doing this because I only could pay for the battery at the time. 2 years goes by, I finally decide I want my wiper fluid again. This shop charges $200 for install and parts. All the while telling me what codes were read and what they meant. The FARTHEST from condescending. I feel that Monro was taking advantage of the fact I had little knowledge of how to take care of my car and would purposefully ignore issues so they could charge me their base service rate to come back again and add it onto the bill. I don't know if this is a management issue or the mechanics I dealt with specifically, but either way. I'm hoping to save someone the trouble of being over-charged and under-serviced.

    car has been in the shop for two weeks. first set of fixes were done in two days, which was great!…read morethen they found something else that was wrong. which is fine but kept telling me they would get to it next day but wouldn't call me with an update. I finally called them after 5 days of this and told them my car is getting done today. their response was had couple of alignments come in today and doing that first. why my car has been in the shop for two weeks and costing me a couple grand. how is my car not being worked on first? it's now going on week 3 and no end on the horizon. thanks monro auto
