Firestone Complete Auto Care

So I was on the road with my three little ones headin from NC to SC last Friday, and we pulled off at exit 164 off I-95N to grab a bite at Cracker Barrel. As I'm pulling in, there's this awful scraping noise from under the car. I thought it was a tire at first, but turns out it was something else entirely. I spotted this guy nearby and asked if he could give me a hand. Showed him the undercarriage of my car was practically hanging on by a thread. I needed to get it fixed and he pointed me to Firestone on Hoffmeyer, just a stone's throw from where we were. Gave the guy a huge thanks – if you're ever around there and see someone with a Steeler's face mask, that's the man!

I made it to Firestone, and let me tell you, the folks there were just the nicest. Mr. Nick was the first to greet me, found me a spot to park even though the lot was nearly full. Then Mr. Patrick comes over, super reassuring, telling me they'd have me back on the road in no time despite the place being swamped and all hands on deck with the cars. Mr. Nick got right to work, fixed up the undercarriage and even checked and filled my tires with air. Showed me how to reset the tire sensor too – and I've had my tires rotated a bunch of times before, but no one ever showed me that.

Everyone at the shop, Mr. Patrick, Mr. Rick, and Ms. Donna, they were treating folks like old friends, whether they walked in or called. They were just so welcoming to me and the kids. We got to where we needed to be and back home safe tonight. We go through that area a lot, and we're definitely gonna drop by with some treats for them next time. When people ask about our Father's Day weekend, I'm like, "Hit a little snag for 10 minutes, but the rest was fantastic!" Big shoutout to Mr. Nick, Mr. Patrick, Mr. Rick, and Ms. Donna!

I had an appointment. Waited 1 hour and 45 min for just an oil change.

I did not request a tire rotation because the tires on my vehicle are not Firestone tires and i did not want them rotated since they were recently rotated... They were rotated when I received my car back. (Tires are marked)... Fast forward a week later. I was wiping down the engine bay and refilling the window washer fluid, noticed 3 compartments open.

The engine airfilter cover was open (no clips latched) the top engine cover was loose. It has 4 clips. Not one was clipped. Basically it was loose under the hood, and the fuse (electrical) compartment on the battery was not latched closed.

I will not return to this location.

I have been with Firestone for over 10 yrs. I thought they was taking a turn for the better. But yet again another big corporation giving customers a disappointment with over chargers. I'm referring to diagnostic testes. Why chargers some customers diagnostic fee if they already know what wrong with there vehicle. That's a unnecessary charge for some of us. Why would I have to pay Firestone to tell me something I already know. Other then that Firestone have given me great service. Firestone rather loss hundreds of dollars over a unnecessary fee. Never understood that of big corporations.

I had Firestone replace my rear suspension airbags for my Lincoln Towncar 2007 2 weeks ago, but the car is still sagging and hitting the ground when I backup on my driveway. I have spent over 12 hours waiting for follow-up review and examination but the problem has not been resolved. I have spent over $500 on this project. I would appreciate if I could get my money back or replace the bags with coil springs or heavy duty shocks, but the problem must be solved.
Thanks,

Hello, I had an appointment at 4 PM MST for struts/suspension inspection and repair at the store location located at 3720 E 120th Ave, Thornton, CO 80233. I reached there around 3:40. A store associate attended me and ask to wait for further help. After 20 minutes or so, the same person asked me why I was there, I explained the reason for my appointment, then he asked me to leave the car there and come back tomorrow, without even looking at my car. If that was the situation, why I was provided appointment at 4, they should have scheduled appointment for the next day, instead of wasting my time.

I am a regular customer of firestone and never experienced such rude behavior.

I am wondering why there are such varying prices between different Firestone shops. I need to have an A/C recharge done. I called the Firestone shop that I normally use and they gave me a quote of $301.48. Then I called another shop close to me and I got a q of $178. uote of $240. Another shop I called gave me a quote of $178. This causes me to wonder if I have been overcharged for other work I have had done at the shop that quoted me $301.48

This makes twice this has happened that I'm given one price then the next day it went higher. This is not how you keep costumers. The first time they even messed my car up by not connecting a hose back up. Each it ended up costing me a lot more money, ended up at the dealership that fixed the problem for a 100 dollars. That car even was going to a cancer patient in need. This time they gave me a price then it went up the next morning, I try to keep my cars in good shape to be donated to carcer patients. When people are price gouging it doesn't help. We will never be returning to a company that deals in the manner they're doing!

I called last week to make an appointment to change the oil in my Fiat 500, I dropped the car off 15 minutes prior to the 11 o'clock appointment time. It is now 2:38 pm and I was told it was being worked on now and they would call when it's done. My time is worth something, I made an appointment to get it done quickly. This is piss poor management. Don't think I will waste my day off waiting on these people again.

Buisness closes at 7 pm. We came around 6:15pm. The doors were locked they closed early but two employees were standing in the office by the door. We knocked on the door the man with the grey hair looked at my wife and laughed. We then called. You could hear the phone outside. One overweight man told the grey hair that the phone is ringing. He laughed and ignored it. We spoke to other customers and they all say the grey hair guy treats people like trash. We called the harlingen office they said to come on over we paid the bill there. San benito texas office is rude and customer service doesnt exist. This grey hair guy needs to be fired. I needed to pay the bill and get home to take my insulin instead im racing to harlingen in the rain to pay a bill that he could of taken.

Wish I could give em a zero but gotta leave a one to write this. Took my car in just for an oil change and next thing I know, I got an oil leak. They said they'd fix it for free cause the oil filter wasn't on right or something. But then my car started acting all weird, didn't run like before. Told em I was worried about my engine but they said it's all good. Well, it wasn't. My engine up and died cause there was barely any oil left. Tried to get it sorted with a claim but they shut me down, said it was cause of some recall. I told em that recall thing was taken care of back in 2017, but then it's like they just ghosted me. Been on the phone trying to get a hold of someone other than customer service for weeks now. Been with them for over a decade but that's it, I'm done!

So I had these warning lights on my dashboard, like the ABS and TRAC and stuff, and I told the guys at the Firestone shop on Merrick Ave in Westbury all about it. It's even on the receipt they gave me. They told me straight up that if I got a new alternator put in, those lights would shut off. But guess what? I get my car back, start it up, and all those lights are still staring me in the face. One of the workers sees this and says they'll take another look. Later, they ring me up and say, oops, we don't have the right computer to reset your car's codes. They tell me I gotta go to the dealership for that.

Now, I'm sitting here wondering why they didn't just tell me that from the get-go. Why'd they make me pay for a new alternator if it wasn't gonna fix the problem they promised it would? I mean, I said yes to the alternator because they were so sure it would turn off those lights. But here I am, lights still on, and out of pocket for something that didn't even work.

Took my car in for a check-up and the work order said I was short 2 quarts of oil. I was pretty surprised cause the guy there told me it's cause of an oil leak. I called up the place where I last got my oil changed to check in, and the lady told me the tech didn't put anything about a leak in the system, just wrote it on the paper and didn't even mention it to me. I'm sure my car didn't have any leak when I took it in.

I wasn't happy about this, so I complained, and they said they'd pass it on to the regional manager and that I should hear back in 2 business days. Waited twice, and nobody got back to me. Later on, when I asked about getting some repairs done, this guy Kerry tells me I might as well get a new car instead. But then he notes down that I said no to the repairs. That didn't sit right with me, so I took my car to Goodyear for a second opinion. They laid out what needed fixing and told me where to start with the most critical stuff. They didn't just tell me to ditch my car.

Honestly, if I could give Firestone no stars, I would. It's just not the way to treat customers. I came in for repairs, not to be told I've got problems that don't exist.
