That said, the initial installation of my $1,000 bed cover felt rushed given the hourly labor cost. The fitment wasn't quite right at first and one side of the seal was pinched. I also noticed an impact was used on the rails, which are known to be sensitive to over-torque and can crack easily. While the pinched seal was corrected, I would have preferred more care taken from the start. I don't think they do bad work, but the shop's pace is faster than I personally prefer. For future work, I'd likely look for a shop that prioritizes a bit more attention to detail.

I highly recommend donating a vehicle to Mission Cars to support their mission to provide veterans and first responders with service dogs. Not only does their organization give back to those who have served, it also provides lifelong training skills and positive experiences for the incarcerated. I'll definitely encourage anyone seeking to donate a car to give their car to this charity and to support their cause.

Overall Good Experience…read more.... Pros: Easy online scheduling. Helpful front office guy. They did the job. Cons: Location (except for Santa Maria). Cost? Stars: - Overall: 4 - Scheduling: 5 - Location: 3 (for residents of Nipomo) - Cost: 3? - Front Office Guy: 5 - Job Well Done: 5 - Home Delivery: 0? It was bound to happen. Driving around on roads with potholes causes lots of debris and, eventually, stuff gets thrown against your windshield. My wife's car, a 2019 Kia Soul, had a crack which started about halfway across and just kept growing. So after seeing hundreds of TV commercials for Safelite, we called and made an appointment. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: - Scheduling was simple. My wife did it online and Safelite confirmed twice before the day and time. - The price quoted online was $985 (with new wiper blades). This was without insurance (our deductible is $1,000) and no other price to compare. We figured Safelite would be about the same as comparable places. - Safelite is just north of the airport in Santa Maria so if that's your city it's quite convenient. - Her appointment was 930 AM on the first Saturday in January. It was busy, but the guy up front said it would be done by 4 PM. He called us at 315 PM. - The windshield looked fine and they cleaned the other windows in her car. - The "reception guy" was very friendly and helpful while handling other customers. Cons: - Who knows if the replacement cost of $985 was reasonable? We didn't want to shop around. - The Safelite office was 15 miles each way - twice - from our house in Nipomo. That's not too good, but the next closest Safelite places are Bakersfield and Ventura. - From all those TV commercials, you'd expect a Safelite truck to pull into the driveway of your house. I don't believe such a service is available from the one in Santa Maria.

Frustrating experience with Safelite. I scheduled an appointment to have my windshield replaced,…read moreand it has now been nearly two months without the job being completed. I've had three appointments so far. I originally tried scheduling the replacement in person, but I was told the correct glass wasn't available and was encouraged to use their mobile service instead. The mobile technician came out, only to find that the glass they brought did not fit my vehicle. They then rescheduled another mobile appointment. Unfortunately, they showed up with the same glass that didn't fit, so the replacement still could not be completed. At this point, I've spent a significant amount of time scheduling appointments and waiting for service, only to end up back where I started. I understand that parts can sometimes be delayed or incorrect, but having the same incorrect glass brought out twice after already identifying the issue is extremely frustrating. I'm hoping Safelite can get the correct windshield and actually complete the replacement soon, but based on this experience, I can't recommend their service.

I will never return to Big Brand Tire, and I strongly recommend taking your vehicle somewhere else…read more I made a 9:00 a.m. appointment the day before and was already sitting outside on the curb when the employee who ultimately handled my vehicle arrived. For management's reference specificly, he was not wearing anything that identified him as an employee. His appearance was not the issue. His attitude and the way he handled my appointment were the issue. Between this description, the appointment time, and my service records, management will know exactly who I am referring to. There was no professional introduction, and the interaction felt disrespectful and unprofessional from the beginning. He seemed embarrassed that I was there waiting before he arrived, and it felt like his ego took over from that point forward. When he pulled up my appointment, nearly everything written in the notes was incorrect. By the end of the visit, he presented me with an estimate for more than $800 in supposed repairs. The amount seemed outrageous, and the entire situation made me feel like I was being taken advantage of. I declined the work, asked for my keys back, and paid more than $100 for the oil change they had already completed. I immediately drove across the street to SM Tire and asked them to inspect everything Big Brand Tire claimed was wrong. They checked my vehicle and after a multipoint inspection everything was fine. They rotated my tires, treated me with respect, and handled me like a valued customer. The difference between these two businesses was unbelievable. I left Big Brand Tire feeling frustrated, disrespected, and pressured into repairs I did not need. I left SM Tire feeling respected and confident that I had received an honest assessment. SM Tire was quick, responsible, honest, and reliable. They have earned my trust and all of my future business. Save yourself the frustration, wasted time, and questionable repair estimates. Skip Big Brand Tire and go somewhere that respects its customers and earns their trust.
