Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The car has had a distinct noise when driving. I complained every time we were in and finally june of 2019 I was told it was the alignment after I had repeatedly told them it was the wheel bearings. After paying for a new alignment I was told that yes the wheel bearings needed to be changed and that because of all of the issues my tires needed to be replaced as well. I had that done, a month later I went in for an oil change and they told me I needed another alignment! I told them it was just done! They assured me that I would be taken care of. If it was actually done, I will never know. …”

Even though they had already run my credit in Matteson, they reran it again in Joliet, which made no sense and damaged my credit even more.
