Aiea, HI ("Pearlridge")
Yesterday, as we were driving to Pearlridge Shopping Mall to meet with my husband's brother-in-law for lunch, we started to near a flapping noise. At first, we thought that it was just because we had been hitting the multiple potholes and dips in the roadway. Kamehameha Highway is being prepared for our State's light rail project and is so scarred with potholes and metal plates that cover construction areas. We pulled into Pearlridge and noticed that one of our tires was going flat and found that there was a large bolt imbedded it in. Luckily, Lex Brodie's Tire & Auto Service was just a block away. We quickly drove there and was cheerily greeted by Serina. She quickly looked us up in their database and found that we are established customers of theirs. I noticed that there was a 15% Yelp discount as I checked in and inquired whether or not it could be applied to tire repair...but, as it turned out, it didn't, uh, my bad, I didn't read the fine print. No problem, I was just thankful for Yelp's offer and I could save it for the next "rainy day". Serina gave us a repair quote and said that it would take a couple of hours to fix. She gave us an option of waiting in their air-conditioned waiting room (complete with snacks and television) or we could just browse Pearlridge Mall and return when called. We chose to leave as we were supposed to meet with our relative for lunch. Within an hour, we received a call from Serina who provided us with a work status and needed approval to proceed with additional services. She also provided another price and time quote. We were eating lunch so we weren't in a rush to get back. When we picked up our truck, Ferdinand assisted us with our payment, warranty information and informed us that our transaction was eligible for the Yelp discount. He even told us about their no cost Hawaiian Air mileage program. We used our Yelp discount to get a better deal with the purchase of new tires that were on sale through National promotion for this Memorial Day weekend, realignment and balancing. We are always impressed with the great customer service and efficiency of Lex Brodie's. Serina and Ferdinand were very friendly, helpful and trustworthy. All of their employees give you a sense of their committed concern for your safety and pocket book. #344
