Honolulu, HI
This is my second time at Lex Brodie's. My first time I had a pretty good experience. Yes, it was still on the pricey side because I needed new tires before they could approve my safety check but at least the mechanic was helpful to go through everything with me. This time however, I not only had a bad experience, but now I have an added costly expense that I have to take care of. All to redeem a free mini inspection and oil change. My bad experience started off when it took awhile for the service lady to process me. I understand it's busy there but it seemed that everyone had an attitude like "I'll get to you when I get to you". I didn't have an issue redeeming my free mini inspection and oil change and that was good. My car got done in a fair amount of time. I picked my car up after work. Same situation with the service lady as when I dropped off my vehicle. Only this time, she seemed confused that I still had a balance for my service. We got it all sorted out and she had me sign the receipt. (Now normally at one of their competitors, the one who serviced my car or the service lady would let me know exactly what was done to my car and give me any recommendations. This did not happen today. Just sign and go.) So I left and went back to work with my car. My service light was off and everything seemed to be running smoothly. Or so I thought. After work, I tried to start up my car and nothing. No click, no lights, NOTHING. Turns out that my car battery on the positive side had corroded and the acid burned through my cable. Lucky for me, the company mechanic was able to install a new terminal lug for me. Unlucky for me, I now have to go buy a new battery and possibly replace the cable. Also unlucky for me, on my "receipt", it was recommended that my battery be cleaned due to corrosion. I was in a rush to get back to work so I didn't see this until the damage was done. Thanks a lot guys. I know I technically didn't pay for anything out of pocket for my services today but I shouldn't be punished for using a coupon!
