My son went to Parmenter have his auto inspected, the car had 78,000miles on it and was well…read moremaintained, had only about 8000 miles since the last inspection so we knew that there couldn't be much wrong with it. they came out with a list of things amounting to $1200., my son called me and i told him to forget it, tell them you were going to get a second opinion, he said the guy just grinned as he paid the 21 dollar and said a second opinion is always good. ( must be wasn't the owner). He made an appointment with another garage to have the things checked that they said were wrong, but not have it inspected, they could find nothing. he then made an appointment with yet another garage to have the car inspected. He has 3 little kids and wants the car safe but he didn't want to get ripped off. The garage that inspected it let him watch as they put in on the lift and pulled a wheel, they found nothing unsafe that needed to be replaced.,. I thought the State was sending unsafe and safe autos around inspecting the inspection stations. this place needs a good going over.

First Tom checked to see if it was a "quick fix" that he could do (like a fuse). It wasn't. Not only did he tow the car to the dealer (car still under warranty), but he made sure I got to a safe hotel where there were restaurants within walking distance. (Not being from around here, he told me the hotel I thought I'd go to was next to a deserted mall). Great, helpful service.

A bad nightmare happened after our first night of our roadtrip vacation. My tire was flat!…read more I had just filled the fires with air the day before. I googled tire shops by the hotel we were staying - luckily Horsehead is a pretty convenient town in terms of shops and stores. Mavis popped up and I spoke with a guy named Jon. Right away I could tell he's more on the thoughtful side. He told me not to drive on a flat tire because it would ruin the rim and tire. I told him I was able to inflate the tire back and it seems to be holding for now. He said to bring it in and they would check the tire for me. I explained it seemed to me like air was leaking out of the valve stem. Once there the tech put it on the lift and sprayed the tire down and checked for nails and leaks. Around the valve stem was fine but apparently the stem itself was loose. He used a tool to tighten it and voila... My problem was solved. Great attitude and helped me out big time and they didn't even charge me for their service!

Mavis way over-charged me…read more For the exact same rebuilt starter that auto stores sell for $175, I was charged $485 but they gave me $94 off - so it still was $391 (more than double). Also charged me $200 for labor when job took under 45 minutes. Was hoping for better.

I was feeling a bit of a vibration after hitting a nasty pothole a few days prior. I wasn't sure if…read morethe two things were related or if I just needed a wheel balance or alignment. I saw they had appointments available on the website the next day, so I stopped by first thing the next morning, which was a Sunday (thank you for being open on Sunday!!). I overheard the person behind the counter telling someone on the phone that they were overbooked and had limited staff available that day, so I figured they wouldn't be able to check out my car. However, once I talked to them, I was told that they could look at it if I was able to drop it off and pick it up later in the day, before 5pm. That was fine with me, so I left the car with them. I got a call less than an hour later where they told me that my rims were bent, so a balance would not fix the vibration. They didn't charge me anything to look at the car and give me a diagnosis, and that diagnosis allowed me to be able to move forward with addressing the situation. I appreciate them taking the time to look at my car so quickly, which allowed me to arrange to install my spare set of rims before my track day at Watkins Glen the following day even though I was several states away from home. I've heard good things about Firestone Auto Care from friends of mine in other states, and it appears their good customer service is consistent across their locations.

An appointment apparently means very little at this Firestone location. I scheduled a tire…read moreinstallation more than a week in advance for Saturday at 10:00 a.m. and dropped off my car at 9:50. By 10:55, they had not even started working on it. When I checked again around 11:25, I was told it would take another 45 minutes. At approximately 12:05, I went to ask for an update and noticed my car sitting in the parking lot. The employees at the front did not even seem to know that the technician had moved it there or what the actual status was. I understand that Saturdays can be busy, but that is precisely why customers make appointments. Waiting more than two hours for a scheduled tire installation--with no proactive update, no reliable estimate, and obvious confusion about the location and status of my vehicle--is unacceptable. If they were running behind, the courteous and professional thing would have been to tell me when I arrived. This was not simply a delay; it reflected extremely poor scheduling, communication, and management. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this location and will not return.
