I was a recent customer of Firestone on…
I was a recent customer of Firestone on April 6,2021. I made my appointment online and as I drive a 2011 bmw 335i. I was kind of ske out to take it in, But bmw was going to be a two week wait. So being as I love love love my dream car, I decided to give them a try but before I went in, I addressed my concerns about them being able to service my type of vehicle. So I decided to call first and confirm they saw my scheduled appointment along with my notes concerning my concerns about my car. Being that I’ve never used them I wanted to be sure. They told me they couldn’t do the alignment but could do the oil change and I asked, if they were sure they said yes. So since they could do the oil change. I decided to give them a try in hopes of becoming a repeat customer Having a option if bmw was ever weeks out for maintenance. So I went in and again I asked are you sure you can do the proper service to my car. The employee said yes we can. So I proceeded to wait and I was still nervous but I decided to have faith. Well that faith was shattered car shakes worser then ever. And then started squealing horrible which was so embrassing. So I called and told them what the problem was,and they said bring it in, and I did but something just told me to look under the hood as I hadn’t since there work. To my horror oil was leaking in my engine and on my belt. Just goosing out. I was horrified so I let the oil drdrive it in because at this point I don’t trust getting my car towed by anyone, So I decide to take it in and see. Took it in had the employee look at my car and the manger and they told me Oh we forgot to put the seal ring on your car. I was so shocked beyond all comprehension. And I asked him didn’t you tell me you could do the requested worked he said yes but we didn’t know you need a seal because of we’re the seal is placed on the engine. So he told me we will fix it so I asked him what about my engine and belt since the oil was leaking onto both parts. He assured me everything was going to be okay. Well that was a lie the put the seal on and he said he cleaned the belt and put all the oil back in which I’m still hesitant to believe Ugh. So I left and I would say three are four days later it still squeaked and again at this time I forgot to mention they went ahead and did the alignment anyway which caused it to be a rougher ride. So as I was so focused on the possible damage that the oil change did. I lost track of the alignment to so I went in and they asked if I could come back tomorrow. I was livid but remained car as this is the third time I had to come back in. So I left Not feeling the least bet better. So I’m the morning at around 7-8:00 am I called them and asked them if there was another location because that night before I was 2 go back. Battery says not charging and for me cuts off going through green light car died . Traffic behind me.Thank good my car turned on and was operable. So I made it home so scarred it’ll cut off again in traffic again. But I did make it home. So I called early am stated another Firestone location is closer 2 me The employee said yes I could take it there fir repair service,are there. As everything has been a lie thus far. So I made it to the shop roughy two miles from my house. Scared the whole time thinking about the battery willnt beable to keep the charged long enough. I made it to the shop only to be tolded They couldn’t do the work because they don’t have the right equipment????????Excuse ME ... Arent y’all the same company. And being that the employee drove a bmw same body style just different class he told me there was nothing he could do, But he did look at it only to find my belt shredded and wrapped up in the engine belt turn. Moral of the story my car has been on there lot for seven days unattended to are fixed. And I lost my job because I couldn’t got to the assignment because you need your car. My lease is up on the 5-12-2021 and guess what I don’t have a way to take care of any business at all. Are move if my cars not fixed. Never got a rental car offered are refund. Nothing as of yet but stress on top of emotional distress for me being taking advantage of. You’d think that after being Class A which I recently found out about. They would have learned there lesion guess not So I’d say maybe another CA is in order As they are in breach of trust in everyway, and negligent for causing damage that never existed. This has to be some type of thing with them. Oil changed before when I brought the car. inspected passed with flying colors and belt never broke not once. No oil spills are leaks ruff ride / belt issues. So I’d like to say thank you firestone !!!!!!!! False misleading, and unconcerned C.A
