The Brookdale Firestone is my choice for getting minor repairs and oil changes done on my car.
As a woman, I am naturally a little paranoid about car service shops. You hear the statistics of us being taken for a ride because our general lack of knowledge of this machine called the automobile.
I am not one who is nieve, so I did my homework when choosing a place to have service done on my car. I like Firestone because I have never once been lied to, upselled for things my car didn't need or had unprofessional service.
I go in and get an oil changes every 3 months, and each and every time, I am in and out in less than an hour. I usually just go across the street to Brookdale Mall and do a little shopping to kill the time - they just call me on my cell when there done.
These guys are so friendly - they welcome me the minute I get in the door, they are open to me asking my car questions and have many times checked little things out at no cost.
I bought a set of tires last year w/ a warranty. After the storm that we had in September (you know, the one that took all the trees down - scary!) Well, I got stuck driving in that storm and ended up damaging my tire because of all the debris in the street. Firestone was able to replace the tire (at a minimal cost due to the warranty) very quickly and did a rotation and I was off. That really gave me piece of mind. They also send me a coupon reminder when I need to get my tires rotated (also free with warranty)
A good way to try them out without a big investment is to save one of those oil change coupons you get in the mail. They usually are for less than $15. I am sure you will be satisfied.
