My wife called me with the news, and I was concerned that during the holidays, service and parts resources would be limited. I was able to get a fix on my wife's location and immediately reached out to local repair shops, only to find, as expected, that many were closed for the holidays. Dynamic answered the call and provided the most needed assistance. My wife arrived at the location an hour before opening. Once the mechanics arrived and opened the doors, they quickly evaluated my wife's car. The tension in the situation was relieved when the concern was identified and its severity reduced. We cleared the EVAP system error code, and my wife continued her journey home. There were some complications with administering compensation for the services, but we worked them out.

It would seem communication is a bit of an issue with this location. I dropped my car off on a…read moreFriday around 2:15PM to get the DRLs fixed and new bulbs put in as they were not coming on. They never called me to tell me they needed to keep my vehicle overnight, so I found out the hard way. The next morning when I called up there, I was told my fuse box was messed up and they had to contact a dealer to find out when it could get replaced. So I went to pick my car up around 10:30AM (as they said that could take weeks) and as I was picking it up, I was told the DRLs came back on as they were putting the battery back. One of the mechanics took me out to my car, and mistook my high/low beams as DRLs but claimed the "DRLs" were working when they clearly weren't. After explaining which ones the DRLs were, I found out they did not put in the new bulbs I requested after saying they had done so. Once I explained this, the mechanic took my vehicle in again and said it would take about an hour to figure out. Flash forward to around 1PM I get a call saying the bulbs were replaced and the DRLs were working. I get to the dealership and pick up my keys, and lo and behold, the DRLs are still not working. I went back in to the counter to let them know they weren't coming on. The lady at the counter went to talk to the mechanic, then came back to the counter and said, " your fuse box is bad and they still have to reach out to the dealership to see if they have parts." I said, "oh my bad, I was told on the phone differently" then walked out. I'm just going to pay extra to take it to the dealership. Should be noted that I was not charged any money for this, thank God. Update: changing my review to 4 stars. Tom took care of everything. Apparently the miscommunication was the DRLs don't activate when the car is in park, so each time I was shown my car, it was in park. Thus, I assume they still weren't working. Tom figured this out, called me up and got it situated. Along with an explanation of why they didn't want to put in my lights initially that wasn't explained to me prior. Overall everything got handled. Thanks Tom/team!

On my way to his house to work on some pre-funeral things, I noticed the car was driving a bit weirdly. While it was a bit early for my oil change, my car is getting older and I've lately had to get my oil change earlier. Avon is right on the way. So, on the way home from a day of processing belongings and dealing with paperwork I opted to stop in for an oil change. I pulled in behind a car that was already in the bay. This is a two-bay center. To be honest, we were initially looking at a 4-star review. I wasn't initially greeted upon arrival and waited a few minutes. After the car in front was finished, I was motioned in. However, as my visit continued it began to improve quite a bit. I dealt with two employees - not sure of names - a young female (Trinity is on the receipt) and a male. Both were quite friendly and professional. I got the conventional oil change. I had a coupon. I also ended up getting the cabin air filter replaced and two tag lights. I didn't feel pressured. In fact, while a serpentine belt was recommended they didn't have a certified tech for that when I arrived. The visit took longer than usual. They were thorough and had difficulty putting the tag lights back as the bolts had rusted a bit. They also were attempting to reset my oil service light (receipt says this was complete; it wasn't. They couldn't actually figure it out as my 2012 Kia is rather unique. However, I was impressed with how much effort they put into it.). The level of service convinces me to up this to a 5-star review. Yes, there were minor issues. However, I feel these were overcome with quality service, fair pricing (including discounts), and a car that was running much better when I left than when I got there. Ultimately, I was pleased. While I do prefer to get a greeting when I arrive, once the service started everything was stellar and I'm sticking with a 5-star review.

I drive a Kia Carnival and have always brought my own oil filters since I know they don't stock them. They've been doing my oil changes for the past year without an issue. When I went in on Monday around 5 PM, there was no one in the bay, but the person in charge told me they couldn't do the oil change because it was "too hard" and might take 30 minutes. I've never had a problem before, so this was surprising. Honestly, it came across as a lazy mindset rather than a real issue. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.
