When I asked randomly if it would be another $200-$250 for that service I was told yes. After everything was said and done I was charged $1000 a number that was never mentioned or agreed upon, and to top it all off after receiving my vehicle back it started had a new problem that I never experienced prior that i now have to fix before I can get a new tire.

** - Over \$10,000 Wasted, Still Driving with Unsafe Repairs**…read more Over the past year, my wife and I have spent **more than \$10,000** at **Charleston Service Center** between our **2011 Ram 1500** and **2012 Ford Fusion**. After countless return visits for improperly done repairs, I finally gave up and took our vehicles to **Oakland Service Center** -- the only shop I trust now. Let me start by saying: **Jerry Hamner**, the former owner and intake guy, was great. He was honest and professional. But under the **new ownership**, this place has turned into an unqualified, high-priced guessing game -- and it's costing people big time. --- ### **2012 Ford Fusion (My Wife's Car):** * Brakes were replaced, but the car **pulls into oncoming traffic under braking**. That is a **critical safety failure**. * The shop claimed it was fine -- either they didn't test drive the vehicle or ignored the issue entirely. * **Brakes squeal constantly**, and we were told it's "just the parts," even though we were charged for **premium components**. * As of today, her brakes are **still squealing** because we can't afford to have them redone yet -- but we will eventually, somewhere else. --- ### **2011 Ram 1500 (My Truck):** * Was told the **rear end was bent**. It wasn't. They used this to justify a **completely unnecessary rear-end replacement.** * They tried to do an **alignment three times** -- each time it got worse. My steering wheel went from straight up to **noon**, then **11 a.m.**, then **2 p.m.**, and the **tire wear was extreme**. * They pushed **premium parts** at **massive markups** -- I paid **\$2,600 for parts that retail around \$600**. * They **misdiagnosed the 4x4 system**, replaced the wrong components, and only after **I figured out the actual issue myself**, did I buy the correct part and take it to **Oakland Service Center** to be properly installed. * Now the **engine has blown**, and I'm waiting to find out from Oakland what went wrong -- because I no longer trust anything this shop did. --- ### This Is Not ASE-Certified Work Basic procedures like **greasing the back of brake pads** to prevent squeal were skipped. That's **day-one mechanic training**. I seriously doubt the current crew has **ASE certification**, and if they do, it's not reflected in their work. --- ### Want Jerry's Quality? Go to Oakland. Jerry used **Oakland Service Center** for years. That's where I go now -- and it's the only place I recommend. Charleston Service Center, under its current ownership, **blames everyone else, avoids accountability**, and is slowly destroying what Jerry built. --- ### Final Warning: If you go to Charleston Service Center, be prepared to **spend thousands**, return repeatedly, and eventually **pay another shop** to fix what they messed up. I gave them every chance. **Over \$10,000 later**, my wife's brakes still squeal, and my engine just blew. **Avoid this place unless you like wasting money and risking safety.** We are taking them to small claims court very soon.

We purchased a car from KC Summers last month. We had a very positive experience working with…read moreGarrett Lee as our salesperson. He was kind, knowledgeable, not pushy or showy, respectful, prompt in responding to text messages. We had an opportunity to get a vehicle a few months earlier from a bigger city but opted to continue to work with Garrett because we were so impressed with his professionalism and wanted to keep our money local. Last night, I hit a fallen road sign hidden in the snow after pulling off a one lane road to let an oncoming car pass. It led to a flat tire. When we had difficulty locating the spare, I sent a text message to Garrett. He indicated that he was in Charleston and came to us immediately, where he not only found the spare tire but proceeded to change out the flat tire in his suit on the dirty, wet, icy ground. He ensured that the service team knew that we would be coming in first thing today for repairs and made sure that a loaner vehicle was available. The tire was repaired within a few hours. During a holiday season when consumers and salespeople are tired, stressed and not always at their best, I wanted to highlight what a great job Garrett Lee at KC Summers in Mattoon has done for us.
