Honolulu, HI
I needed one new tire on my car and, with Sears no longer open, I opted for Lex Brodie's. I went to their web site and noticed that they recommend making an appointment. So, I did. I arrived about 10 minutes early and had no idea where to park my car. So, I just parked it randomly, as there is no indication as to parking. After finding the "entrance," I was greeted by a nice young woman who's asked if I had been helped yet. "No, I have not." I was asked the same question, and gave the same reply, 5 times over the next 15 min. A service advisor finally showed up after 15 min. I asked, pleasantly, if it was a busy day. "No," he replied, "this is actually quite light." Whew! So, how long will it take to change out one tire? "An hour at the most." Great, I thought. I walked over to Sports Authority to kill some time...should have killed more. After I walked back to Lex Brodie's, my car was still sitting and waiting...like me. After asking me twice what I wanted done, and after THREE hours of my life gone, my car was finally ready. There is no excuse for this. To make matters worse, they damaged my car by side swiping it with another one. Now, I have to take time to get estimates for them and get the work done. I pay them for time and labor, but they won't pay me for MY time and labor to go thorough this hassle. Yes, I asked. But wait, there's more! After I finally retrieved my car, I drove off and noticed how filthy everything was . Dirty grubby steering wheel. Shift lever was filthy and sticky. There were actually sticky grimy handprints on it. And the driver's seat was dirty. I was wearing light colored pants that now need dry cleaning. I don't know why they put a sheet of paper on the floor...I'm not going to touch the for with my hands or any other exposed bodily parts...but not cover the seat and controls. So, expect a LONG wait, regardless of what they tell you and regardless whether you made an appointment. And bring hot soapy water and rags with you! Or, find a cleaner and more respectful business. I will NOT be going back.
