I went here on October 22nd for both an oil change and for my tires to be rotated. After waiting for over an hour for the shop to begin work on my car, which I understood could happen due to arriving around 3:30 PM, the manager informed me that his technician could not change the oil. The reason for that is because "the oil plug was incorrectly installed from the last oil change. It is wet around the seal and I cannot work on it because you can have us liable for the work." First off, you are liable for the work because the Walmart technician put their hands on it. Second, the previous shop that did the previous change did correctly install the plug. I theorized that he was covering for his technician stripping the head (Which was later verified.) of the plug. As a result, I realize just how much I have improved on my patience, using knowledge from routine auto maintenance, and how to express my dissatisfaction. Instead of being physically verbal, I will express just how awful this place is on Yelp. I love Yelp!
Instead, I went to a competing shop that I should have gone to anyway. This is the same shop that did the previous oil change. After explaining the situation to them and how they were being accused of not completely the work correctly, they verified that the head of the oil plug was indeed stripped. As a courtesy, they did not charge me for a replacement plug. I am glad I learned skills that my father and grandfather taught me when it came to auto mechanics. I just wish I had the current lifestyle where I could have the tools and a garage to do my own work. For now, I will depend on shops to, hopefully, do simple auto care correctly. Walmart did not do it correctly and I suspect does not often from many of the other posted reviews.
I did get a free vacuum of the driver and driver-side passenger side. Other than that, So much road to cover and it is bye-bye Walmart Auto Care Center on 8808 Beach Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32216. read more
