Floyds Tire & Auto Service

This isn’t a bad review. This is a «BUYER BEWARE!».
I’ve had a number of issues with Floyd’s over the years.
One of the times my car was having trouble starting on a regular basis. They diagnosed it as the starter, fixed it, and we got a big bill. This didn’t fix the issue so we brought it back in and they realized that it was some kind of inexpensive computer chip type issue which cost $ 50 to fix (parts+labor). Needless to say they wouldn’t reimburse us for the work & parts which we didn’t need on the 1^st place.
The latest issue I had with them was regarding my truck which was at the end of its life. Due to this I specifically asked Floyd to not do any work without quoting me first. If the bill was high I was going to trade it in (or sell it for scrap metal) and buy a new car. The next day I got a call from Floyd. He explained to me all the work/​costs that would go into making the truck street worthy. I expected this, but was crossing my fingers for better news. However, when I told him «No thanks. I guess I’ll sell it as scrap metal» he quickly told me that I owed him about $ 275. Apparently, he thought that he needed to do work on it before hand in order to get it into the service bay for further inspection. I let him that I wouldn’t be paying this bill due to our previous conversation. However, my time is valuable so I ended up sucking it up and paying about 80% of this bill. He was firm.
The above two issues are the largest, but not the only ones. And they played out over the course of maybe 2 years.
I live within walking distance so the convenience of dropping my vehicle off at Floyd’s, walking home, and then back to pick it up is a huge luxury. I was my own worst enemy as «crazy» is repeating an action and being confused when you get the same result. After the first few interactions with Floyd’s I knew what I would get and yet I kept going back. I have a new car now so don’t need it serviced as often, but when I do, I will ABSOLUTELY NOT be taking it to Floyd’s.
