Honolulu, HI
I went in today to get new tires. my budget was $400. Which is basically my entire paycheck. Vachelle was really nice and helpful! She helped me choose the most appropriate tires for my car and made sure I still got the 4 year warranty as long as I do the 6 month free tire rotation and alignment. While with her we did note I need to do my safety check, luckily it doesn't expire till the end of the monty, so I can do it next week instead. So in the end with taxes and the tire deposit fee it was $412 & some change. I was happy for that and that I waited for about 2 hours, the promised wait time for my car. This experience normally would've given them 5 stars. As this is my second time coming to Lex Brodies for my tires and not having issues. What dropped them down to 2 stars however, is a BIG pet peeve for me. I do NOT like sneaky or squirrelly behavior, and this is a prime example of it. In the end when they called me for my car was ready, my total ended up being $428 & some change. They said they HAD to do a light change for the tires or something like that. Why they could NOT have informed me first before doing the work I am not sure. That is also something to me that sounded like it could have WAITED another week. When I could afford it. I am very frustrated with this type of behavior and makes me not want to ever go to a Lex Brodies again, however I am hoping that this never happens again and it has never happened to others either. I guess to some of us the change is worth it, but to someone who lives paycheck to paycheck this was a big deal. To me, this felt again sneaky and squirrelly, I am quite disappointed by this.
