Went in for a $21 inspection, left with a $222 bill to replace a brake light and license plate…read morelight in order to pass. The work took all of 5 minutes to swap out the old bulbs, the labor fees are wild here. But the thing that bothered me the most was when I asked the guy "hey is it normal that I'm having to replace bulbs in my Subaru constantly? I'm not even getting a year out of each bulb"... a genuine question I was asking as I don't know how often people typically need to replace burnt out bulbs. This guy spoke to me like I was a total idiot and said "well they're just lightbulbs... and you hit bumps don't ya?" Crazy response. My bulbs are burning out fast because I hit bumps? Come on. I've never had this issue in any car I've driven so was honestly wondering if something is wrong or if that was normal. Everyone I've asked since says it doesn't seem normal in the slightest. So I'm not sure if this guy just assumed I was stupid, or if he spoke to me that way because I'm a woman or what, but I'll definitely be taking my business elsewhere and regret not reading some reviews in the first place because it seems most customers are unhappy as well

They found the inners on the outer, and the outer on the inners. Called this place to only be given a corporate number to make the complaint and file for a refund. They don't care about you or your car. It's a chain business, so no one will get fired for a bad job. Just don't take your car here unless you have time for inconvenience and stupidity.

Update May 2025. After the last debacle, the regional manager sent me a free oil change coupon…read more Time for an oil change, I went to the Lockport location. They told me they could not accept the coupon for some reason. I called the number on the coupon, and was told that indeed that location was a separate franchise and didn't participate, but Clarence did. Oh boy. The continuing story looked gloomy. I went to Clarence. Tony the manager told me that Lockport is under the same ownership as his location, but he'd take care of me. Another odd twist, but whatever. The experience at the Clarence shop was phenomenal. Night and day from the previous hassles with Valvoline so far. Jordan, the bay tech, was courteous, clear, concise, reviewed recommended services without ever being pushy, did the lights safety checks, offered me to donate to Ronald McDonald house...quick and efficient, while being genuinely politely engaging. Communication among the team while services were being checked off was superb. It was immediately clear that Tony runs a tight shop, with professionalism as the foundation. I didn't get any additional recommend does services at the time, but I will definitely consider Tony's shop when I am ready to get them done. Stellar team.

I should have known since I drive a foreign luxury car. I had a coupon for a free conventional oil change which is what brought me to Pep Boys. Kyle knew that I would need full synthetic, not conventional, so he said that I he would just have me pay the difference so I could still use the coupon. He wanted to confirm that he had the proper oil for my car, so he asked me, but I didn't know as this was the first oil change I had needed. He told me it would be on the oil cap and I was embarrassed to admit I had yet to figure out how to pop the hood. He came out to show me and we discovered that the cap said to look at the manual... Two manuals later, we still did not have our answer, it just said to call Mercedes. He then called Mercedes to find out what oil I needed. Turns out that I needed full synthetic Mercedes brand oil. He then told me that if I bought the oil, he would still do the oil change for me which would be a significant savings from what the Mercedes dealership would charge me. I left with a happy car with fresh oil and highly satisfied with the great quality of customer service!

Absolutely terrible. I had an appointment at 7am and for service. I left my vehicle the night…read morebefore. The next day, the day of my appointment at 4pm when the shop had not I contacted me so I called them. I was told that they had not looked at my vehicle yet. They were busy and at that time told me I needed an appointment. I told them I had an appointment at 7am that day. I agreed to leave my car overnight again and then ensured me they would service it the next day. The next day at 4pm I still had not heard anything from the shop. I called and was told the mechanic drove it and does not detect the problem I'm describing but they still have not put it on the lift and looked at it. They have now had my vehicle for 2 days!! I picked my vehicle up and it was repaired at another shop. The mechanic states he drove my car however my vehicle was in the exact parking spot I left it in 2 days prior. The drivers seat was all the way forward since I am under 5 foot tall. There was no paper on the floor near the foot petals. So I highly doubt they drove my vehicle. My vehicle sat in their parking lot for 2 days and they never even looked at it. If they lie about driving my vehicle how can I trust them to do any service. On the way home the vibration in the steering wheel is still present which is why I brought it to them for service. I will never return. Please don't go here!!

What I like best is the honestly. They were extremely up front with me and explained everything clearly and politely. That's uncommon these days.

It's rare to find a mechanic you can truly trust, but Housel's has earned that trust time and again

Dunn Tire has great customer service when you're face to face. Dunn Tire has crummy service online,…read morenot face to face, etc. It started when I requested an appointment for new tires. Didn't hear anything from them until 2 days out saying that appointment is no longer available. Had email correspondence with someone and had to wait an extra few weeks because every time I said, "yep I can take that appointment!" It was no longer available by the time I emailed back (which was always same day, if not within the same hour). After all the runaround I finally got an appointment 2 weeks after my first attempt at an appointment. Dropped the car off, got the estimate, they let me use a coupon. Very nice and easy process. Told me it would be about an hour. It ended up being almost 3 hours, I panicked because I had to get to work. I called to check the status and was put on hold and gave up after 12 minutes and figured it still wasn't ready. Eventually they called 2 hrs 45 mins later and it was done. Good in person, bad online and on the phone.

Had it towed to the nearest Mavis (Williamsville) where they patched the tire again for free. A couple days later, it was low on air. I was in Buffalo and went to the Mavis on Delaware Avenue. They said the patch had been done from the outside and should have been done from the inside. They showed me the tire was shredded inside and said I was lucky it didn't blow. Then they sold me another tire. I'm so pissed off. I hate having 3 of one tire and 1 of another, not to mention all my time wasted being stuck on the side of the road!
