We just moved back to Phoenix and needed to have our the oil changed in our Honda CR-V. We chose Sun Devil Auto because of their high Yelp ratings and good experiences at store near 7th Street and Bethany Home when we lived close by.
My wife brought the car in Wednesday at 2PM. The oil was changed and my wife was Happy.
Friday evening we were in the carpool lane heading into Phoenix when we heard a loud bang and continuous scraping noise. My gauges were fine, no smoke, no significant change in the ability to steer the car so I exited the freeway and pulled into the first safe place to stop.
I called Sun Devil Auto and left a message (it was shortly after 6PM and they were closed). That phone call was not returned.
We got a tow truck and paid for them to tow our vehicle to Sun Devil Auto. As of this writing, we haven't been reimbursed for the cost of the tow. I submitted the requested receipt on Saturday.
Sun Devil called Saturday morning because our car was in their lot and they had our keys. I explained what happened. To their credit, there was no pushback and they agreed to do the repair. We were notified at 3:30 yesterday that the car was done. We were watching a movie at Harkins which didn't get out of until 30 minutes after they closed so I said we'd use our other set of keys to pick up the car and get the keys Monday.
Bottom line - Exceptionally bad experience with the oil change, promising response (the jury is still out since we haven't been reimbursed for the tow)
September 11- Update. When I picked up my keys on Monday Jacob promised to call when the towing reimbursement is approved. No phone call yet. read more
