Thirty minutes later I was pulled into the bay. There I sat for another 30 minutes while the techs moved back and forth. The same gentleman who greeted me was the person who finally came to help. He was extremely friendly and informative. I do my own vehicle maintenance, and it was nice not to be pushed into services I didn't need. He was honest about the life left in the coolant and air filter. My only complaint would be the 80 minutes it took to get an oil change with no line.

Stop listening to your friends and family members who tell you that they know somebody who can do it for a cheaper price. There's a saying that I tell people who are trying to save money on necessary repairs. "Buy cheap now, you'll pay more later." A car is an investment, and it should be part of your yearly budget to set money aside for repairs. In New Orleans and Louisiana as a whole, we know the streets and highways are bad, so save your money for brakes and struts and tires! With this being said, Bring your car to en establishment who specializes with these services where you get warranties and you can familiarize yourself with the staff. Get the Firestone credit card because it will benefit you in the long run. Ladies, don't prioritize beauty products and material things like clothes, shoes and trips, prioritize a good mechanic, reliable service. This way, whatever James tells you your car needs, you'll have the money.

The mechanic said it needed the blower motor, the resistor and the actuator replaced. They replaced the blower motor and resistor with subpar parts, and gave me the car with the ac, blowing "cool". They charged me a little over $1,000! The mechanic said he was going to consult with the dealership on how to repair the ac and never called me back. I ended up taking my car to my mechanic, who told me the ac not kicking in to the highest setting is related to the resistor, and replaced the blower motor AND resistor again...the ac now is working. I placed a complaint with Firestone and got a call from the store "manager" saying all they can do is offer me a credit for a free tire. I told him that would not work because I am never going to Firestone ever again! He said he would consult with the regional manager and would contact me. That was almost two months ago and no one has contacted me. Don't waste your time with Firestone!

I brought my car in for oil chg and tire rotation 3 days ago. I asked them to check my…read moretransmission as it was acting funny. Dont think they checked it. When we left we got about a mile down the street and the car died, would not start. Goodrich sent a mechanic who jumped me a couple times to drive a little further but never got more than half a mile. He said the was going to the shop to get a batteray and replace the old one as that could be the problem. Needless to say it started up and we finished driving back to the shop. They charged me $274.00 for the new battery. 2 days later I brought it in to my dealer asking them to check my transmission as the car was still acting strange. They called me today to tell me the transmission was fine and a new alternator is what I needed. The one in the car was about dead, the new battery was keeping it alive. He said that was why it was acting funny because the dying alternator did not have enough power to run the care correctly. So my trip for an oil chg etc cost me $92.00, and the battery $274.00 at Goodyear. Had they checked the battery and alternator like say they do they would have found the problem. They always say the check everything...they said they reset the mileage for oil change on dash after I asked and they did not. How can I believe they do everything I brought the car in for? The cost an the dealer is anothe $327.00 for alternator & labor plus $247.00 for diagnostic fee. Looks like I am out $875.00. Maybe I did not need a new battery, it was their word.... I had stopped going to Goodyear in Kenner on 32nd St for a while and decided to go back a few months ago....but after this episode I WILL NEVER GO BACK! I will go to Firestone, they are closer to my house. So please people, make sure the diagnosis is correct on your vehicle from Goodyear if you go there for serivce...and ask all the questions you want to . The Mgr Ron has always worked with me the past years but now I am not sure it was not a ploy.

I waited a while (a little over a month) to do this review because I didn't want to be as angry as I was a month ago when writing it. We have used this Speedee/Midas for about 8 years. They have always been amazing. They have fixed my car even when other shops couldn't. I have only ever talked highly of them to people and I even would recommend them all the time. It started many years ago with a mechanic named Chris there and he was amazing. Then, Nas came along and she was equally awesome. The owner/manager lady always made sure your car got fixed in a timely manner. She was great too. Not anymore!! My husband's car started acting up on the morning of 8/12/24. So, we had it towed to Speedee. Again... we passed like 15 repair shops from where we live to bring it there. That's how much we (used to) trust them. So, they call my husband later in the day and say "you need this, this, and this done. It will be $1236 plus tax." My husband said yes because he just wanted his car drivable and back on the road. He was desperate and vulnerable. He agreed. We went to pick up the car and we paid. They waited until AFTER the work was done to say "oh... you need a new engine." What?!?! Why didn't they say that from the start?! We paid all that money and they waited to tell us that!!!!!!! So crappy. We ended up junking the car for a measles $300 and having to get him a new car. We are out this $1349.71 all because they took advantage of him when he was vulnerable. The other people would have never done that! This place has lost my business forever and I have been telling everyone how much they ripped us off. What a scam! How dare you take advantage of vulnerable customers? You should have given full disclosure about the engine BEFORE telling us we needed the work done. I'm out all this money because you people are money hungry and greedy scam artists! 8 years of loyalty down the drain.
