I never leave negative reviews, but after this experience with Cave Auto, people should know what…read morehappened. Last year, we took my son's Jeep here, paid over $1,000, and two days later had to take it to the Jeep dealership and spend approximately another $4,000. Despite that, we gave Cave Auto another chance. We dropped the Jeep off Monday and were very clear: it was running hot and my son HAD to have it back by Friday to drive to Knoxville for school. We were told the water pump and gauge were repaired and paid another $1,600. We picked it up and it was STILL running hot. We took it back yesterday, they kept it for hours, and we were told nothing was wrong with it. Today, the temperature gauge was approximately 3/4 of the way toward hot again. When I called, instead of simply saying, "Bring it back, we'll make it right," I got excuse after excuse. I was told to take it to a NAPA Auto Care Center and that apparently they have to "fix it in parts" to diagnose it. On top of that, he repeatedly brought up the fact that we had discussed possibly trading the Jeep in and said he thought we were going to trade it immediately. That honestly makes me question why that matters. Whether we trade it tomorrow or keep it another five years, if we paid $1,600 to repair it, the work should be done properly and the vehicle should be safe to drive. If there wasn't enough time to properly diagnose and repair it before my son had to return to Knoxville, SAY THAT. We would have made other arrangements. Don't squeeze the repair in, charge us $1,600, and then use the limited timeframe as an excuse when the original problem still exists. After all the excuses, I finally said keep the money, I'll leave a bad review and be done with it. His (Clint's response) response to me on the phone? "FUCK YOU, BITCH." Then he sent me a lengthy text accusing me of threatening his shop, his employees and their families because I said I would leave a negative review. I threatened NO ONE. Saying I will publicly share my experience as a paying customer is not threatening anyone. At the end of the day, we paid $1,600 to fix a Jeep that was running hot. It is still running hot. We brought it back and were told nothing was wrong. And when I became frustrated and said I would leave a bad review, the owner told me, "fuck you, bitch." You can defend your diagnosis. You can explain your warranty. You can disagree with me. But a business owner speaking to a customer that way is completely unacceptable. We will not be back and you shouldn't either.

My good friend Andy had pushed for me to visit them after learning that I was overdue for an oil change. In fact, while we were at lunch a few days later, he called and spoke to Carlos himself to set up an appointment for me. Upon arrival, I felt a little like I was pulling up to check in at a hotel. I loved the large covered entry and immediately noticed that this didn't feel like the typical auto repair shop. When I walked into the reception area, one of the first things I noticed was the sign on the women's restroom indicating that it was for women only and that the men's restroom was around the corner. Later, when I used it, I noticed the nice hand soap that seemed to have been chosen by a woman--or perhaps by a man who values and respects women! Either way, it made me smile. Carlos was kind and friendly, and they took my car back for an oil change and cabin air filter replacement. While I waited, I kept noticing little things. There were devotionals stacked alongside the magazines, including *Our Daily Bread*, which I hadn't seen in years. When I commented on it and wondered aloud how to sign up to receive them, one of the owners encouraged me to take one home with me. I also enjoyed a long conversation with one of the newer service writers about how much he enjoys working there after leaving a much more stressful position, his upcoming marriage, motorcycles, travel, and the kinds of major life changes that make you reevaluate how you move through the world. And then there were the chocolates at the service counter--just one more little touch that made me feel welcomed and valued and left me wondering how in the world a group of mechanics had figured out how to create such a woman-friendly environment. In the 90 minutes I was there, I read, knocked some things off my to-do list, and talked with employees, customers, and even a delivery woman. It was genuinely a pleasant place to spend an hour and a half. Most importantly, I never once felt like I was being sold something I didn't need. (I cannot tell you how many times I've had that experience elsewhere.) And I never felt like I was being treated as a woman who *should* know more about how her vehicle works or what it needs. I simply felt respected and cared for. The team at Auto Clinic of Franklin has found a new customer in me. And after my first visit, I think the "Clinic" part of their name is especially appropriate--because I left feeling cared for and in better shape than when I arrived.

I have reviewed them elsewhere as well.... Brought my car for vibrations. I had previously did all…read moremy motor mounts with them earlier. Because of that, I didn't think it was the mounts so soon. I brought it to Volvo and even they said it was the mounts. I brought it back to them (Bennetts) and they revved the engine to test the mounts and denied it BUT reluctantly agreed to replace the trans mount and the front upper mount on the passenger side and order the parts. When I brought it back to get them done, they changed their minds and only replaced the trans mount which did not help. I brought my car to a shop that they (Bennetts) recommended because of a different issue that they could not handle.....Since the new shop had to remove the mount that Bennetts DIDN"T change to get to my other issue, I told them to just replace it, (at my own cost even though the old part was still under warranty and Bennetts refused to replace it), while they were there. Which they did at no extra charge for the labor...Low and behold, the car rides perfect with no vibration what so ever!!! It WAS the mount that Bennetts decided not to warranty and change after all!.... Poor diagnosis technique to say the least and they will find a way not to honor their warranty... This has been my experience and mine alone....Good luck!!!!
