Lee Myles on Bell Rd., Phoenix,Az. Supposedly rebuilt our transmission. 8 months later,2 months after the warrenty ran out, the tranny went out again. The price we paid was $1200.00 for this plus two towing charges. They wanted another $1200.00 to rebuild it again! We had no choice because of our financial situation and the arrangments they made in house for us. They supposedly rebuilt it again, this time with a tranny cooler added at no charge and also charged us another $250.00(included in the original price) for new motor mounts which needed replacing even though they replaced them on the first go round. By the way, we had replaced both transaxles four days before we took it to them the first time and had to replace them again when we got it back. When we got it back the second time, it was making a noise and the linkage was out of adjustment as it was the first time.They told my son to bring it in on the upcoming Wed. for service. The Tues. night before it locked up on him at forty miles an hour and totally destroyed the tranny, case and all. It ended up, they refused to fix it saying it was because the car was lowered. We had to buy another tranny and tow it elsewhere to be fixed. The mechanic there told us the tranny fluid lines were hooked up wrong amongst other things. Well, Lee Myles still wants their money even though it cost me a fortune to fix their mistakes. I sent the BBB a letter via internet about this but have never heard back from them. There is more to the story but this is the main part. P.S. They have a whole ONE certified mechanic working there, the rest are hands on mechanics. I wonder who watches them and teaches them when the certified mechanic is busy or off!!! test40

Last week I took my car to get an oil change and tire rotation at the Renton, WA location of Wal-Mart. On the way home, we noticed that the car started to wobble. We checked the lug nuts and 3 of the 4 wheels on my car had loose lugnuts!!!! We took the car back to Wal-Mart (after tightening) and I took the retard (Jeremy) from the tire center around the parking lot. The front end of the car was all over the lot!! All he had to say was, "Yep. there's something wrong." We made him put the tires back the way they were before the rotation and to check the balance. He was VERY unwilling (it was near closing time.) He was only willing to check 1 tire. We had to yell at him to get him to check the other tires (I was standing right there in the bay with my car!!) The balance checked out fine and we had the tires put back on. We drove home and had no problems until 24 hours later and 40 miles on the freeway at 60mph. My Fiancee was driving home from work, in Seattle, when she heard a clang and felt some wobble in the front again. She had me drive the car I felt nothing. We went out to dinner and on the way home, I heard a clang and the car shook and wobbled like the tires were falling off!! I checked the lugnuts again and they were loose!! We removed the wheel to see what was wrong and we saw that the lugnuts were cross-threaded and stripped on the front-passenger tire. The posts also looked damaged. My Fiancee called Wal-Mart back and they were VERY quick to say that they would fix it. I had to miss work the next day because I had no car to get there. We fixed the car enough to take it to the tire dealer across the street. After 2 days, they called and said that the car was fixed. They said that all it needed was new lugnuts. The new lugnuts are longer than the posts!! We also had to coax the tire dealer to fix the alignment and to take the car out on the freeway. The car still doesn't feel right. Today we called Wal-Mart back to reimburse us for the damage to the car. They gave us the run-around and are trying to get us to sign a "Liability Waiver" so we can't hold them leagally responsible if anything else is wrong. I should have known this would was a crock of crap when Wal-Mart wouldn't give us a written statement promising that they would pay for the car's damages. We are now seeking legal advice and are considering a lawsuit. Sincerely, Matthew Parish Click here to read other Rip Off Reports on Wal-mart test2 test40
