I wish I could give zero stars! I took my car in for an oil change and now my car is in the dealership. Mossy told me and showed me that my oil was overfilled and soaked everything in my engine. I don’t know what the workers were doing, but it appeared to me that I was not a priority. It was a strange experience with many people coming to my car. It was just strange. The whole experience was strange and took me over 30 minutes for an oil change. As I said, my car is now in the dealership getting many oil soaked parts repaired and replaced. This is 1,000’s of dollars in repairs to my car. I am grateful for my extended warranty to cover the financial end! This could have been avoided. Beware. This is all I can say. Just be careful if you go to this location.
