Made appointment online to had my oil changed in a 2002 Grand Cherokee Jeep. Filled out car information online. Walmart issued an appointment date and time. When I arrived for my appointment they said they to not carry the manufacturer recommend oil for my standard Grand Cherokee Jeep. This model Jeep is one of the most popular models. They should have not made the appointment in the first place nor did not so any remorse for error in making the appointment.

I came in 4/19/25 because I found a gash on my sidewall of a brand new tire so I brought it in for road hazard. Arrived 1040 am and service said it started at 1231pm. By 130pm I had not heard anything more so I went to the desk to inquire. The service person told me they canceled the job because it was missing 1 lug nut but no one thought it pertinent to inform me of this? Just left me hanging for hours on end. Then they had to redo the ticket putting me at the end of a long line of cars some of which I saw come in after mine. As of writing this review, it has been another hour and my truck is still sitting in the parking lot. This is pretty much the way things are in Tennessee as a whole, poor service everywhere. The south will never rise again. Glad I'm from Chicago. Guess I'll have to go back.

Walmart on West 57th. They do bad work on your car. They spin cookies in your parking lot testing out their tires. They did not honor my coupon $20 off and they were standing around talking a lot. My car took over two hours to get two tires put on. It is bad business. Will never return here. We never do business here. We never do nothing at this location again that is not proper work And protocols there. People here are lazy and do not like to work. I am my GM. I run three successful businesses and I do not act like that or my employees do not act like that.

My experience was excellent, low cost and excellent service. My mechanic was Clive at Congress Ave., in Palm Beach County. The price was the best anywhere and the service was excellent! I bought tires, and although I read that they add extra charges, that’s because Walmart charges separately (cheapest anywhere), for mounting, balancing, and air stem. Basic price is $18 per tire! I guess some think they get that in cost of the tire?

I purchased 4 new tires last week from Walmart Auto Center. After 3 return trips, over 8 hours of waiting, and $600 my truck shakes and drives horribly. It didn't before I took it there!! I was told by another tire company that the tires are all out of round and bad tires. The manager at Walmart said they couldn't replace them because they'd been driven on. I guess they expected me to carry the truck home on my back. So, now I will have to spend another $600 a week later for tires from somewhere else. Horrible experience and money wasted!! I will tell everyone to NEVER take their vehicles to Walmart for tires!!!

I called and made an appointment for new tires. After, waiting almost 2 hours, the technician removed the old tires. He then put them back on. He proceeded to inform me, my nuts and studs were stripped, he couldn't work on my vehicle. When I questioned as to why he took them off and put them back on, he got hostile and asked me to leave the premises. I asked to speak with the manager, as this employee had damaged my vehicle. The nuts and studs were fine on arrival. They proceeded to call the police and have me banned from Walmart. Do not take any vehicle to Walmart for anything automotive. They have a bunch of incompetent children working there and will damage your vehicle, then blame you.

Went in for wiper blades. Their sizing books were torn up and scattered throughout the isle. One book was missing the page I needed, the other book thankfully had it. Grabbed my blades, but wanted to do my due diligence and ask if an employee could confirm. The man that helped me wasn't polite, told another customer looking at the same book I checked he would "shove her out of the way" to look at the same information I had already looked at. Very embarrassing for everyone involved. Bought the blades and what do you know they don't fit. At least I learned not to trust this particular auto-center - the one in Klamath Falls is superior.

Do not take your vehicle to Walmart Auto Center. They will damage your vehicle and not compensate you for repairs. I recently bought tires from Walmart at a cost of over $600. While there, I decided to let them change the oil on my 2021 Audi. Instead of draining the oil, they drained the transmission fluid. After more than two hours of avoiding me, I confronted them, and they admitted what they had done. The manager, said they were not able to refill the transmission fluid and the car needed to be towed there. He said Walmart would take care of the cost of towing and all costs associated with refilling the transmission fluid and oil change once at Audi.
However, he then refused to pay for the towing unless I signed a release of all liability for Walmart's actions that day. When I refused, knowing I needed Audi to do a diagnostic to be sure that the transmission was not damaged, he refused to pay for towing became belligerent. I ended paying the $150 fee on my credit card. The cost to run a diagnostic, refill the transmission fluid and change the oil came to just over $1,100. When I returned with the receipts, taking off work again, he said he couldn't cover the bill and was referring it to Walmart's insurance company. He told me it was all my fault because I had refused to sign a release of liability the day of the incident.
The battle with insurance company is yet to begin. I stand with $2K in credit card charges that should have been $700 for the day including my tires. My Audi dealer laughed when my car was towed in. "Never go to Walmart", they said, "they are incompetent". I went out of my way to be patient and understanding with this. However, the lack of any empathy, concern or even accountability for something that is entirely their fault, has made me bitter. These people are awful.

Ordered tires from Walmart.com to be installed at the Walmart Care Center. Long story short, ordered the wrong size. I had to return them myself (Walmart.com). Got them from a third party tire company. Almost 3 weeks later (tires returned and signed for) I’ve only gotten a refund for 2. Priority Tire in Texas is saying Walmart is not letting them issue a refund for the other 2. Walmart is saying I have to get the refund from the tire place. Huge runaround for $315.00.

Went there for oil change and have a headlight and tail light put in. Said thay call me and I have no missed calls. My trunk would not open. I went straight to my car, put the key in and like always my trunk opened as soon as I turned the key. Well said my headlight would come out either. What a sorry bunch of tech.

I bought a battery at Walmart about 2 years ago. I have had it checked at other automotive stores, and it checked bad. The Walmart "tech" claims that although the battery checks way below the specified cold cranking amps it is still fine, even if it barely starts the vehicle.

I scheduled a 7 AM appointment at the Walmart Automotive Center on 31st, but by 7:15, the shop was still closed, and I had to call to find out what was going on. When I finally got in, I was told they couldn’t replace my tires because my bolts were supposedly cross-threaded. Frustrated, I went to another shop, where they immediately pulled my car in and removed the bolts without any issues—clearly, they weren’t cross-threaded.
When I called Walmart to express my concerns about both the delay and the false claim, the lady admitted they already knew they were running late but dismissed the issue as “just about the tires.” This response made it clear who was responsible for opening late, but the lack of accountability and misinformation is unacceptable. I do not recommend the Walmart Automotive Center on 31st for any automotive needs. If you do decide to go, prepare for poor communication.

I bought tires at Walmart and only got 14,000 miles out of them and they are refusing to honor the warranty because I don't have my receipts from all the times I had them rotated. I think they have their computer systems set so they don't keep the rotation information so they don't have to honor their warranty. Whoever heard of Brand new tires only getting 14,000 miles. They won't even rotate them anymore because the tires don't have enough tread depth!

Called to see about getting tires put on my and got negativity right from the start. Man told me it depends on how soon I get the car to them. I drove to straight up to the service center and then he told me he couldn’t write the service ticket because he only had one person working. He could be told me that before I drove up there. Bad, negative service center that acts like they don’t want your business.

The Escanaba Walmart has the worst automotive department that I have experienced. Wouldn’t change my tires because I had a bad tie rod and even told them ahead of time. They wasted a ton of my time telling me much later they can’t do it. They should have been straight from the start. Had another car not even that old. Same thing except they claimed the frame had a hole. It was not a hole it was a rust spot. Another time I go there and they say I need to make an appointment. I try making an appointment and they tell me they don’t do appointments. What is going on with this place? I never had any problems whatsoever elsewhere. Pomp’s in Escanaba is the best. Walmart is the worst place for auto repairs and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go there.

On 12-9-24 my son ordered a set of tires online from Wal Mart. They estimated Tuesday to Wednesday arrival at cool springs store Franklin TN And they agreed Wednesday aft 3:00 for appt. Wednesday morning they texted that the order was cancelled. No explanation. My son called immediately and they said no worries the tires were here and could we come to install tires at 10 Thursday morning. I the dad arrived at 10 Thursday morning. The first desk clerk was not helpful and said he couldn’t find the order. Then a woman passed by and said she remembered it from yesterday But they had to find someone else to verify everything.
I waited in the four seat waiting area. At some point the original guy called me to counter. They were not busy btw. Two others there. The third man was a party to conversation. They then explained that they couldn’t do my tires because the order had been cancelled. I pointed to my four new tires I’d paid for already sitting right beside me. They said yes that was them. I said, "We never cancelled it. Your office did for whatever snafu," And that I’d arranged my work and large family to accommodate this not once but twice. Nobody offered to call anyone to help or fix the problem. Nothing. Just surly indifference. Zero. I mean zero apology or discount offer. Not a damn thing but attitude.
I knew by then it was pointless. I gave them a piece of my mind …a sharp piece…and walked out disgusted. The employees were a woman and the man they called was ** and the counter clerk was like me an older ** guy. I don’t have to use Walmart. Their employees are not exactly reknown for helpfulness. I’ve never experienced anything like this and I think I’ve owned 34 vehicles in my life. Just apathy and rudeness Which I have back the later as I left. I admit. Btw it took them 40 minutes to reach this conclusion after my arrival. Their auto bays were almost empty with only one guy working on tires. The oil change was empty with a car in line outside. About 4 hours later they refunded my card. That’s it. Done with Wal Mart.

It is true that the cameras are reviewed but that is if they have cameras. Usually if they do they are out of date and in spots that won’t see what’s happening. The techs are not given the proper training to work on vehicles. The basics are messed up on vehicles on a daily basis.

I had a 3:30 appointment for an oil change at the Monument CO Walmart. When I arrived at 3:15 there were not any other cars or trucks at the "service" center. I thought, "Oh good, maybe I'll get out of here a little earlier?" At 3:45 my car had not been touched, and no other cars had come in. The bays just stood empty, with the "service technicians" standing around talking. So I reminded the lady at the desk I had a 3:30 appointment. She did not seem too interested. By 4:00 the situation had not changed at all. I retrieved my key and left.

If it would be possible to rate this zero I would be. I went to the auto center and the Conway Walmart for a routine oil change. Was told that it would be about 30 minutes so we went inside the store to eat Subway while I waited. I was supposed to get a text when it was finished and after 45 minutes no text. I went to the auto center to see the progress and the car had not moved. So I decided to shop a bit longer and after an hour and twenty minutes it still had not been touched. At that point I just asked for my keys back. That is absolutely ridiculous for an oil change. When I got home and after 2 hours from when I signed in I got a text telling me that they had started my service on the car that I had left with and that was sitting in my driveway. Lol. They are definitely lost and confused there. Like I said if I could give them a zero I would. If you value your time and want someone professional to work on your car, avoid the Walmart auto center.

On 10/12/2024 I went to Walmart auto center for oil change in the morning, in afternoon, I found oil leaking on floor. I called Wal-Mart auto center. They told me bring back the car, they can look at. Because it already was late afternoon, I scheduled next day to oil change again for checking. Next day I brought my car to them, after checking they told me there was oil leaking from oil plug, but they did touch oil plug, what they did was they used a machine sucked oil out and put new oil again. The fact is there is oil leaking after oil change. But they denied they touched oil plug. They told me to go to Pep Boys or Lexus Dealer to fix that.
Next day I brought my car to Pep Boys, they did check and found it was oil leaking from plug. The plug was sealed around with blue glue (picture), but it was still leaking from one area. They removed the plug and they found the plug without ring that prevent oil leaking. Obviously Wal-Mart Auto care center technician was so stupid. First forgot put ring on plug when put it back, second they tried to use glue to seal that they could not. Then they push me to Pep Boys or Lexus dealer. They also repeatedly say they did not do anything with my plug.

Oh yeah had appt. I ordered online, made appt...got there for appt. Stupid and playing dumb took over. All they had to do was scan the bar code on my phone which there were supposed to but did not.

I needed tires for my VW Beetle so I could go on a vacation before summers end. I ordered a set of 4 tires online and prepaid the installation and for discarding my old tires plus tax. I made an appt and waited. The day before my appointment I checked the status of my order and it showed that I had cancelled my order the same day I made it but the funds had been removed from my account. All Mohammed could tell me at online customer service was it was a glitch. My money would be back in my account in 10 days and if I wanted tires I would have to reorder them.
I wasn't happy about it but I reordered a set of 4 different brand of tires and again paid all the supporting fees in advance and scheduled my installation appointment. Again I checked in the day before my appointment and I was told that 3 of my tires had arrived and the 4th appeared to be in California somewhere so I should reschedule my appointment. It so happened that I was standing at the counter in the tire center and I asked them to reschedule for me while I was there. The service rep said they couldn't reschedule my appointment in the store i would have to go home and do it or risk losing my installation fee. So I rescheduled for 4 days later and arrived for that appointment an hour early and checked in at the service counter. The 4th tire had not arrived and they didn't know where it was. The Walmart I was standing in could offer no assistance at all. I told the manager, the gal at the counter, and the guys in the tire shop that I had been there for my appointment but I was going home to cancel the order since they refused to help me in the store.
By the time I traveled the 20 miles back home the installation fee and all other charges except for the 4 tires had been removed from my receipt. I called 1800 Walmart and spoke to Helen. I told her everything that had happened and she told me they had been working all day to straighten out the glitch with the first tires as I was not the only one. She gathered all my information and agreed that they owed me $338 for the first order and $318.58 for the current order. She had taken care of it.
The next day I received an email (attached) that said as soon as I returned the tires Walmart would start to process my return. I called 1800 Walmart and spoke to Sara. We went over the entire thing again and she told me she had everything ready and she would send it to corporate. I received an email that told me to go back to Walmart and have them call the sender of the email to verify that they had my tires. I pulled up my receipt to make a copy to take with me and on the receipt it ways I picked up the tires.
I went to Walmart after the tire center closed and spoke to a man in sporting goods Zia, he was kind enough to walk back into the tire department and find my three tires that were scheduled for return. He gave me a printout (atttached) (but it looks like a 2 year old got ahold of a type writer. That will be my receipt that explains everything, he said). I returned home and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. My experience with the BBB has been that they get results. It appears not too many businesses want the Consumer Affairs or the BBB after them.
Two days later I received a phone call from the local Walmart and said that they would be refunding the price of the 3 tires but anything else would have to be taken up with Walmart.com. I called my bank and so far they see no refunds made by Walmart at all. Has anyone reading had to return anything to Walmart lately. If you do you will get a gift card in place of the money you spent. That is their new policy. Walmart makes money on every gift card they sell. As I researched the gift card rewards for Walmart I also discovered that Walmart was selling gift cards to customers that were being ripped off my scammers and Walmart was fully aware the customers were buying the cards for scammers but sold them to them anyway. And that is purely hearsay as I read it online but I'm just suggesting that anyone concerned should check it out for themselves.
I know that I have personally spent thousands of dollars at Walmart. Not anymore. I'm 70 years old and I'm going back to my old ways of driving to the mall for my clothes and shopping for anywhere else besides Walmart to do my trading. The photos are of the receipt I received from walmart. The receipts are also 2 copies of emails between Walmart.com and myself where in one email it says they can't do a refund to go back to the store ane store sent me to them.

The automotive department at the Charlotte MI Walmart have no knowledge of cars or how to service them properly. Instead of informing me I had a cracked lugnut they proceeded to try to get it off, completely ruining the rim on my car. They claimed it was torqued too tight before. However it was clearly seen how they leaned on the bar to break the lugnut loose. Instead of coming or calling to talk to me they broke it off and then told me they couldn't help me get it off at all now and to come get my car.
No compensation for the work that it took to get the rim off by someone knowledgeable and they were completely rude about the situation and continued to tell me it was our fault. Be warned. Walmart will not tell you they don't or can't do something. They will just break it and tell you it's not your fault. While I was there I witnessed the manager talk to the staff about an earlier issue to which they got extremely upset and started banging stuff around.

Their service center is an absolute disaster. The hack not a tech but a hack that was assigned to my vehicle to care less about other people's property. I was in the Lisbon location, once the vehicle was inside to have an oil change and four tires balanced and rotated. They initially bring the vehicle back and they rotated the tires they didn't balance them. The need to take it back inside because he can't follow basic instructions. The manager had to assign a second person to help the hack who didn't know how to use a tire balance machine.
I get the vehicle home three of my four wheels on my SUV which didn't have a Nick, a chip, a scratch any place... add chips and damage all around the center cap area because he was banging the wheel spacer slamming it into the wheel to get it to position itself for the wheel balance machine. He got grease on my steering wheel, my armrests, my console, because they don't use gloves, and it was drippings of oil going down the fender. I need to go back to put an insurance claim in on the wheels... and now the insurance adjuster wants me to settle for junkyard wheels on a pristine vehicle mine that didn't have a single Nick chip scratch on any of its Wheels prior to going in.
The estimate he sends me are not only for junkyard Wheels but for the incorrect wheel. So they want you to settle for junkyard Wheels, and they're not even the right ones... this is what Walmart has turned into. They hire incompetent people. So it's a nightmare now for me to get any type of retribution so that my vehicle can be in the condition it was prior to going in. Of course, now I have to convince them that the wheels are going to get swapped over at a dealership can they charge a fee plus tax. Bottom line is do not go to Walmart service center it's a disaster.

By this time, ** was walking to the back with a plate of food in his hands. She made him aware that I had arrived, he stated that he was going to lunch. She then paged, **, ** is a customer care team leader in automotive. He he walked outside with me and deemed my car safe to drive. I showed him video of my tires and how they were splitting. He stated that the tires are fine and he sees nothing wrong with them.
At that point I asked to speak with a manager. ** the manager was on lunch as he left the area about 10:20 AM. I was willing to wait as I arrived at the store about 1015am. ** stated that ** was still on lunch, I made him aware that I was willing to wait to speak with him. I figured his lunch was an hour so I was willing to wait because his return should’ve been 1130 if his lunch is an hour hour at 1130am. ** lets him know that I am waiting and ** comes back to tell me he will be unavailable for a while. This, let me know that ** has chosen not to make resolution to this situation. It was at this time that I requested to have the contact information for a district manager. ** stated that he did not have that information. He then reached out to ** who is a coach.
Based on Walmart’s Coach Criteria, A coach supports their team by making sure their goals align to the goals of the business. They communicate with leads about their team's performance and plans on how to improve the business performance. None of that took place. ** quickly stated that the reason for my tire issue is improper care. It does appear that ** does not have a background in automotive. He rubbed my tires and stated that they were uneven. That is not true and I have pictures and two other people who have backgrounds and automotive that would be the differ. He stated at one point that I needed an alignment. I provided to him and **, the date of my last alignment which was August 2022. He then stated that I have not been rotating my tires so I made him aware that I have documents in my car and that I could also call Earnhardt Avondale to confirm that I have been getting frequent oil changes and tire rotations at their vicinity.
I explain to ** and ** that I have a warranty on my vehicle and that when I have repairs done the warranty company request documents on proper car care before they will do the repair. ** then stated, insinuating, that Earnhardt of Avondale has not been rotating the tires, and that they are documenting that they have. I explained to him that what he is doing is speculating as he is not there. I no longer allow Walmart to perform my oil changes because on one of my vehicles, they messed up my oil pan, which was calling leakage. They also forgot to put the screw back on closing the oil pan. ** was also made aware that it is not fair for him to speculate as I had brought this very same car to Walmart for a nail repair. I explained to him that once a week since that nail repair I have been going to discount tire to get air in that very same tire.
** returned to the inside of the store pulling warranty, this was after closing the door, talking to **. He then brought out a piece of paper, looking at the back of it, and then said that it was improper repair and that the warranty will not cover it. This is speculation as ** was not at the dealership during my repair. I have receipts/documentation so his speculation should be no merit. ** provided the number to customer service as the Walmart store number, me that’s incompetence. I made him aware that that is not acceptable as that is the store number.
I then googled the number for customer service and made a complaint. I was informed that I would return a call back within three days. Monday, November 20, 2023. No call, on Tuesday, November 21, 2023 no call and on Wednesday, November 29, 2023. No call. I assume that Walmart was closed due to Thanksgiving which was Thursday but on Friday, November 24, 2023 no calls. On November 27, 2023. I made a call to Customer Service making them aware that I waited three days and that no one called me. I was then made aware that my concern would be expedited and that someone would give me a call in three days. I do not think it’s fair for me to have to wait another three days just to see if someone would call to resolve the matter. I made that very clear during the call.

ZERO STARS. I have to add at least one star to be able to post this WARNING. Do not take your vehicle to this shop on Delta Shores in Sacramento!! They broke off two of my tire pressure sensors in the rear wheels when I took in my vehicle for new tires (the first change on a fairly new car). They did cartwheels trying to tell me they were already broken off. WHAT? My car would have to have been in t-bone accidents on two sides to break those off. They even tried to convince me the sensors were "rounded and smoothed" because they were rolling around in the wheel. WHAT? They are designed rounded and smooth and show no damage from rolling around. I would have also heard two broken sensors rolling around.
I took my car to Toyota and they verified the sensors do not look at all damaged other than being broken off and that it was caused by the tire machine during tire removal. Wal-Mart Auto Center manager refuses to pay for the damage so that tire pressure sensors read on my dashboard, which requires Toyota brand sensors. Universal sensors do not work on my vehicle.

Automotive products are not as advertised. The Walmart "Online" products are numerous with many requiring a specific detail; such as the year, make and model of a vehicle. The product I searched for was very specific; shock absorber/struts for the rear of my vehicle. The products were available and 'also' found on other company websites; the Walmart "Online" price being the best for the same (exact) product. The products were ordered and delivered on time. The products were found to be simply thrown into a cardboard box. No receipt, no warranty paperwork, no instructions, NOTHING.
When I contacted the Walmart Customer Service Center by phone, the Artificial Intelligence Creature ran through a list of questions; all leading nowhere. When I contacted the Walmart (Store, Kingsport, Tn.) the Manager informed me; "We don't take 'exchange' goods any longer, it's simply return the product to the store and get a refund on your card.' Further, the store manager informed me of; 'the automotive products' are all sold by a third party and Walmart does not have anything to do with the interaction with the customer. WRONG. The Walmart Company has the product on their website; thus putting Walmart in the direct path of warranty, warranty of merchantability, liability and fraud. HOWEVER. The Walmart Company is thus forcing customers (as I have now experienced) to jump through hoops to get another product while trying to wash their hands of the deal.
THE CONCLUSION. By making the customer do the dance of returning the product, waiting for a 30 day period for a refund on the debt card, and follow the tracking for a refund, and then have to go to another source to find a like product is a tactic Walmart is trying to push onto customers. AVOID WALMART AT ALL COST. Do not purchase any automobile products from this company: as the products may endanger your life and the lives of those in the vehicle or those involved in an accident. Avoid Walmart.

Yesterday I stopped by Walmart to get my oil changed which I do about every 5000 miles as I run synthetic (car will only take it) and price is usually best. Place had no techs or compressor so shut down. This afternoon I called to see if up and the clerk (this clerk I have no problems with) told me that syn oil change was 48.88. Thinking this was all inclusive as the 80 dollar changes in past were I ran quickly into town to have it changed. While trying to find band aids for wife in storm the clerk changed and when I returned (I was never paged) and the bill was 70.05. I did asked to have the air filter changed thinking that was about 10 dollars as in the past. Instead he put in the ULTRA 1125 air filter and charged me extra for an oil filter off the shelf (no pages) had been included in the 80 dollar price.
The cost was 70.05 which I would have paid, but would not have run 10 miles to get based on phone call. I also had asked for a quote on tires and he quoted 3 tire types adding everything but finger polish (road hazard-I have AAA). As well he quoted stems which I believe was included previously and a number of other things. I felt I was treated with smugness by the clerk, and since you still did not have compressor I will probably wait awhile. However I will probably pay more to get my tires and oil elsewhere. I have a dislike for Walmart, lack of tellers (cashier myself another store.), inability to get help and hidden costs. I remember back in 2008 when they let many employees go due to lower wages for new hires and the recession. Robin **

The Walmart “technician” also did not replace my oil filter when my oil was changed in November, meaning I’ve been using the same one in my car for over 7 months. I don’t understand why the “technicians” at Walmart work like they have a personal vendetta against us, they're always messing up our cars. And for what?

First issue- the person I was with didn't pay for something in her shopping cart.

I called corporate explained what occurred. They said they are removing band and I won't be trespassing if I chose to go as I did nothing wrong. So if we make a mistake we pay for it whether it is by legal or walmart itself But what about the mistake lp made Impersonation of a federal agent and putting their hands on a customer illegal lp can not touch you federal agent can.
2. Went back to see this agent and employee lost is row of shopping carts hitting my car spoke to same guy he said he sees the video make a claim. Claims is saying they can not find video so can't do anything. How is that my problem your employee has already stated he saw it. 3 I sent my father to get my 1 year old meds at the start of covid.

Two days ago (Friday) I went to Walmart (in Hewitt, TX) with my car for routine maintenance. When they finished replacing the oil and filter, I went straight back to my house, also in Hewitt, TX. Today (Sunday) in the morning I went out and didn’t realize that the floor of my garage was full of engine oil. On my way, a light in the car dash started to turn on, and a message saying that the car had no motor oil, and to turn off the car immediately. I arrived where I was going (close to my house) and called my husband.
The car engine was completely empty of motor oil. The engine could have been badly damaged. My husband bought five quarts of oil and poured it on, so he could take the car back to Walmart to be checked and fixed. There, they told him that the rubber gasket of the filter was broken and that is why the oil was leaking (not just dropping). They checked and fixed everything at no cost (of course) and will come tomorrow to remove the oil from our garage.
Even when Walmart fixed everything after-the-fact, I couldn't be more disappointed by the hard time due to this situation and the concern that my car engine could been broken down badly. Every mechanic should double check their work after finished since that is their insurance that the work was performed correctly and that there should not be any re-work due to any mistake. How a car is leaking oil (again, not dropping) and the mechanic didn’t noticed that as soon as the car goes out of the shop? There must be some extra oil in the floor of the shop for sure. For that reason, I do not recommend 100% that place. And if anyways one would have to take the car there for any other check, one must be very cautious, especially after they finish their work.

All sites including Toyota, Cooper Tires, Tire Rack, etc. and theirs when I purchased confirmed they were a fit. After driving 30 miles for my appointment it took them over an hour to say they couldn't mount them due to the factory tire size on the door jamb was different. First the manager overrode the mechanics and said we were good. But 45 minutes later when I check up the manager sided with the mechanics because some vague reference book they had said the size I had showed on aluminum wheels. I guess Sears missed that 8 years and 60,000 miles ago with the same size tires as purchased, even though they saw them on the vehicle.
The folks that helped me were very nice and accommodating considering this store has them running around like the proverbial chicken. Fortunately one counter person suggested going to The Tire Guys down the street. They were great. Had my tires on and drove away 45 minutes later. While I waited at Walmart I observed a family of senior citizens wait almost an hour for them to check out a screw in one of their tires.

They also didn't know that the battery install was free when I buy a battery there, so had to correct them on that too.
After waiting the 4 hours they finally give my car back but then I got a Core charge added even though they took my battery. So had to go back in there to a long line to get my core fee removed but they refunded me in cash. So I ended up having to go to an ATM afterwards just to set my account straight. And lastly, we took the car to a mechanic that we know the next day to get heat fixed, and was told they moved the belt to replace battery and didn't move it back when done. So the cables to the battery were very close to being cut by that belt. Never had an experience this bad and it blows my mind.

Bought 4 new tires from Walmart a few months ago. I got the Road Hazard warranty on all of them ($40 extra bucks). Had a flat after picking up a nail. I was on a bridge when it happened so I drove off the bridge and parked and put on the spare. Local Walmart didn’t have the tire in stock so I had to order it online. They looked at the tire and tried to repair it but couldn’t. They told me it would be covered under their replacement warranty and that I’d need to order the tire online and would get reimbursed when the tire came in and was installed.
Fast Forward to the day the tire arrives. I show up and go through 6 sets of hops to get the tire from one side of the store to the other and ended up having to park in the parking lot, download their app and put in a parking lot number so someone could bring the tire out to me. Which I then had to carry back into the store, right past the place where it was originally to the Tire No-Service department. They then told me that the tire was not covered under their warranty. There was damage to the tread from having to drive off the bridge while it was flat. After trying to explain that we had this conversation when I bought the tire, they were relentless. Finally I gave up and told them to put the last tire I ever buy from Walmart on and I would go about my way.
2.5 hours later, I checked in because I hadn’t received the call I was promised and they said, "You're all done, that’ll be $80." I said, "For what?" They said, "4 tire installs." They had somehow managed to put on 4 of the tires they didn’t have in stock on. To be honest I would have just driven off except the tires on the back are a different size. So, I had to wait 2 more hours for them to put the original tires back on. I’ve never had such a miserable retail experience and I will never let Walmart touch my car again.

The employees were very very friendly and they patched my tire. I drove it home, 8 hours later my son went to get into it and the tire was flat. After having such a disastrous first repair job, I took it to a different location and got it patched. I called Walmart to see if I could be either reimbursed for the road hazard or get reimbursed for having to pay to get my tire fixed.
They called me and asked if it was a second hole, and which I informed them there is only one hole in my tire that has been patched twice. Needless to say I will not be buying my tires at Walmart anymore for one they shut down when tire and lube places are an essential business and secondly they try to make it sound like there was a second hole in my tire which there was not and I should have brought it back to them. I wanted the tire fixed right so I took it somewhere else. Evidently Walmart does not stand by their product.

I got 4 new tires 3/1/2020. I bought the warranty for road hazards. There was a nail in road, coming out of apartments onto main road, over the train tracks my tire popped. Called Wal-Mart and stated their auto center closed and nothing they can do. So Discount Tires helped me out free of charge, gave them $15 tip. Now again 6/18/20 that same tire flat and called Wal-Mart and said still closed and I asked who I could CALL and the lady was very rude saying "WHO WOULD YOU CALL". I'm pretty pissed off, I have kids and its rough right now, especially financially and thats the answer I get. All the money I spend at Wal-Mart and I get no HELP.

I did extended mile premium oil change (full synthetic), the top level in their option at Walmart (5405 S Rice Ave, Houston, TX 77081). After the oil change, when I read the repair details they were putting $1.98, basic oil filter. The technician responded, that was the standard oil filter they put in every oil change. Another technician replied that the basic oil filter was not compatible with the synthetic oil change. I had to go there next day, pay additional $10 and wait 2 more hours to put synthetic oil filter. I did not expected Walmart cheat thousands of customer putting incompatible oil filter. That was my last oil change at the Walmart, I raised this issue to the Walmart headquarter but don't know if they are still ripping the customers.

The road hazard service is a joke. 75% of the time when I have taken a tire to be fixed I was turned away because they did not have enough help. The last time I brought in a tire to have repaired that was not under their road hazard service I was told they could not repair the tire because the hole was too close to the sidewall. When I took the tire to a different tire shop they laughed because the hole was almost 2 inches away from the sidewall. This is just Walmart ploy to get you to buy a new tire. Very deceptive practice.

I purchased tires so I could be safe, now I feel like I am all over the road. Why??? My car is old 21 years, One of my lug stems to tighten the tire to the rim snapped a few years ago, it is shorter, but a lug will screw on it. There is not one on there because I used it to hold down the spare and forgot to get a replacement. All it needs is a lug. I come back to get my car and they refused to put the last new tire on it.
I know they did not take a good look at it or they would have discovered it is long enough for a lug nut, it just needs one. What a terrible feeling to drive around with 3 new tires and one old balding tire. The tire is still good enough to pass inspection, but that is not the point.

Taxes and I took the old tire home. Took pictures and had another tire shop exam my tire. For signs of "riding flat". There were no signs or conditions. I was lied to by that person.

The tech at walmart told me he couldn't seal a tire that didn't have a leak when it obviously did or I wouldn't be in there.
The next time, one of my tires blew while driving. We took the tire and rim up there to be replaced and the man working said they didn't have the exact tire to replace mine and would have to order one. So that I could drive they were going to put on another tire temporarily. The man approved it with his manager. 4 hours later I got a call from a tech that said they could not fix the tire because it was too damaged!! I KNOW!

It doesn’t matter that the tires we need put on were bought from them last year or the fact that we’ve bought our last 3 sets of tires from them. They are more interested in new business and what will bring in more money. They claim they will still change the tires if they have time when you show up, but they are so filled up with appointments for people buying tires that there is never an opening. Very disappointed. If this remains the policy, we will be looking for tires elsewhere next time...

Took my car there to get a oil change a year ago. They broke my oil plug then tell me that they couldn't replace it. Then referred me to another shop which they say they used all the time. Took my car there to get a oil plug [which Walmart paid for]. The shop first mistake was the oil plug they put in was too small so I drove around for weeks leaking oil took the car up to walmart. They send me back over there [which they billed walmart again]. They put a bigger oil plug in [no leaks [everything good]. Took the car to walmart today. They say the oil plug that was in there broke so now they cant do the oil change plus the car needs to be towed back to that shop again because they don't do oil plugs. The manager Chris tells me I have to get my car towed back to the shop who they referred me to on my dime.
Why should I have to pay for a tow when my car was fine when I brought it in there. I got there around 9;30am. Didn't leave walmart until 6;30pm that evening. Very very very unhappy customer. I was treated like crap. My wife called corp 2 times and talked to 2 different people and still no help. At the end of the day we went home in a Uber ride without our car that was working fine 9 hours ago.

I go to Walmart for the convenience for an oil change. I have a 2yr old Ford Escape 2017. They put the incorrect oil filter on and 10 weeks later it fell off while driving and blew my engine and turbo. Almost 9K in damage. Car is still under warranty and I also paid for the extended warranty but it's not covered because of faulty maintenance that was done. I filed a claim with Walmart and they are refusing to pay for the damages they caused. They admit to putting on the wrong oil filter but said we can't prove that's what caused the engine failure.
The cause of the engine failure was no oil and there was no oil because it fell off, it fell off because it was not the correct oil filter. Be aware, they will not be accountable and if they do something wrong your warranty is void and you're stuck with the bill. My 2 yr old car was ruined because of them and they are sticking me with the $8700 to fix my car. I will not be doing business with them ever again. Buyer beware!

I had new tires put on my SUV three months ago. Last week we had a new roof put on our house and I ran over a staple and got a slow leak in my left rear tire. The place I bought the tires was half a hour away so I thought I would pop into Walmart instead for a repair. After a 45 minute wait I was told they could not fix the tire because it was a staple and I was also told that the tread was too thin to repair the tire anyway.
I drove to Discount Tire where I had purchased the tires and not only did they tell me the tire was in like new condition they also repaired the staple. This is not my first encounter of dishonesty from the tire department at Walmart. My last tire I took there they said they couldn’t fix and had to replace because it was too close to the sidewall. However, once again I took it to discount tire and they fixed it for free in 30 minutes and it still is going strong! Walmart will tell you anything just to make you buy new tires. Honesty is not the best policy for the Walmart tire department. Discount tire is the way to go!!!

I went in to get a full service oil change, tire rotation, and for them to check a slow leak on a tire. 2 hours later I was told the cause of the leak was the TPMS sensor was cracked and I would have to pay 28.99 more for the fix (in addition to the $10 for a tire repair). I was happy to pay to have it fixed. 4 days later the tire is still leaking, so I come back in to have it fixed and I am told it will be another 2 hours to get to it AND I will have to pay for the repair AGAIN? Granted it should only be $10...I wonder how many times they do this. Charge for the job to be done, then not do it and then recharge to do it “again”. I hope this review finds people before they come here for their service. RUN AWAY while you can, you will not be pleased with the service nor the results.

My car battery died on me. After getting a jump I drove it to nearby Walmart Auto to get it changed and asked them to change the oil while it's there. First the rep at the customer service desk was clueless on how to read the miles. Had to show him how to open the hood to get an id number. Got a call the next day from them that after they changed the battery and oil all the lights on the dashboard came on and car is in idle and wouldn't accelerate. When I went to pick up the keys there was just one person working and long line of angry customers. I told them to figure out why the car is not accelerating since it was running just fine when I drove it in their shop a day before. Manager called next day saying he can't figure out what's wrong with the car and they don't the 'skill set' to make a diagnosis either.
Before I went to pick it up, I googled why the car wasn't accelerating...found out that after the battery change most cars have to go through an idle run to recognize the new battery, a simple process that anyone could do by following a video. As I was paying Walmart for oil and battery I mentioned to the lady that car is still not fixed and she says 'they (people working on cars) are not mechanics and they don't have the computers to run a diagnostics on cars'!.
I tried the idle run, but it wouldn't complete so got it towed over to my mechanic. So this is part that makes me write this review. My mechanic says that while they were working on it they loosened a screw on the throttle tube. He was surprised that Walmart auto didn't know how to do an idle run since most cars nowadays have that requirement. Lesson Learned...no matter how simple a car repair Don't ever trust Walmart to do it right. In their own words they are not mechanics and don't have the skill set either.

I know 2 hours had passed when I returned to get my car and it still wasn't ready. I could see the technicians in the bay standing around laughing and playing as if the customers didn't matter. When I got my suv back I noticed the change oil light was still on. I got out the car, went back to the bay and asked for the technician who worked on my car quite naturally. He was gone to lunch. Another tech came out to reset the light and explained the other guy was new and didn't know that he was to reset the change oil light.
As I was getting ready to leave after putting my groceries in the back I noticed that my bin where I keep extra motor oil and car supplies had been disturbed. I had 2 qts of motor oil I had purchased from Advanced Auto which was never opened. Yes someone cracked the seal on one bottle and thought I wouldn't notice. Other items in the back were not where I normally keep them as if someone had been plundered through my items. First of all I was only there for an oil change. Why were they inside my vehicle going through my personal things.
Last as I was getting ready to leave I noticed my brakes went all the way to the floor. Now I'm really pissed. I go back into the bay, called out a tech, he came out and said the brakes were soft. I told him that wasn't a problem when I brought my car in so we went together to get his manager. The manager proceeds to tell me they don't do brakes. I told him there wasn't anything wrong with my brakes. I recently had new brakes put on my car last year then he gets in and pumps my brakes saying there may be air in the line.

I bought tires at the Walmart Tire & Lube Center at 407 George Clauss Blvd., Severn, MD several years ago, and free rotations for the life of the tires were included. In mid-March 2019, I took the car in to have the tires rotated and showed the employee how I wanted the tires rotated (a forward cross pattern). I was there several hours before they told me my tires were too worn to be rotated in this pattern, but not worn enough to be replaced. The tires had only 22,000 miles on them. They said rotating them in this pattern would cause vibration. I was going to tell them to rotate them front to back but I happened to look outside and saw that my car had already been removed from the garage and was in the parking lot and another customer’s car was on the lift. I knew that I might have to wait another couple of hours before they could get my car back in to rotate the tires front to back, so I just left.
A couple of weeks later, I took the car to a friend who has a lift in his garage to rotate the tires front to back. While I had the car up in the air, I went to check the tire pressure and add air to the tires, if needed. I added air to one tire but then when I went to check the tire pressure on the rest of the tires, I noticed that whoever worked on my car at Walmart didn’t put the remaining wheel covers back on correctly. Each one has a semi-circle or notch in the wheel cover where the valve stem is supposed to stick through. On three of the wheel covers, they didn’t put the notch where the valve stem was. The way they put the covers back on, a straight edge was mashing down on the top of the valve stems, and I couldn’t even get the caps off to check the tire pressure or add air. So, I had to remove the 3 wheel covers and re-position them in the correct position.
I am not a certified automotive mechanic, but even I know that wheel covers on many cars have to be put back on in a certain position so as to not block access to the valve stems. Also, I don’t understand (1) why they had to remove the wheels to determine that they were too worn to be rotated. They could have made that determination with the tires still on the car, (2) why they removed the wheel covers. Before I bought the tires at Walmart and got free tire rotations, I rotated the tires on the car and never once had to remove the wheel covers to rotate them.

On 4/07/2019 I went to Walmart tire and lube located on Newport Highway in Spokane, WA. for an oil change and to have my snow tires removed and the year round tires installed. I was told that the oil change could be done immediately but it would be six hours minimum for the tires to be exchanged. I questioned this estimation since there were only two cars in the bay on the tire work side and none in the line. He then re-estimated the work time to be two to three hours. I then asked him if there were appointments ahead of me to which he responded that it’s first come first serve. That’s fine, but how does it take to swap out tires? It doesn’t take two to three hours to do so.
May I also mention that I arrived 30 minutes before they even opened and was told this. I was one of the first people to arrive for the day and there was no line for work to be done. Instead of acting like an entitled **, I asked if there would be a better time to return the next day to get the tire work done. I was told to be there 15 minutes before they opened and that was a pain, but livable.
I then informed him that my front tire(s) we’re having an issue with a significant wobble as I was breaking, and I suspected that I may have picked up a nail/ screw or something of that nature and if they could take a quick look for any obvious damage and tire pressure as they did the oil change and advise me so that if it were anything serious that needed immediate attention I could address it elsewhere. I then went into the store and did some shopping, paid for my groceries and the oil change, and picked up my car. I asked the employee at the counter if there were any observations concerning my tires, and was told that if there were they would be on the comments section of the paperwork. There were no observations noted considering my tires.
On the written rundown of everything they checked it was noted that my tire pressure was at 31 psi which they said was fine according to the vehicle manufacturer. The only problem is that according to the tire manufacturer, the proper psi for those particular tires is 51. I believe in second chances, and figured that they may have just been having a really bad day, so I didn’t raise a fuss and returned the next morning 30 minutes before they opened.
I again drew their attention to the improper tire pressure and asked them to observe for any damages to my tires and make any necessary repairs. I was more than willing to pay for any repairs, and put the previous day’s shoddy treatment behind me. Not the case. It took them 20-30 minutes to complete the work and for my car to be ready. I went out to my car and could immediately see that my tires were resting on the side walls and that they were significantly under inflated. I looked at my paperwork and it said that they were inflated to 32 psi. The proper psi for this set, according to the tire manufacturer is 44 psi.
I was pretty annoyed again at this point so I went back into the store and bought a tire gauge so I could just go to a gas station and do it myself correctly. I discussed the matter with the desk employee and all he could say is that the car manufacturer recommended 32 psi for this car. Why are they following the vehicle manufacturer recommendations and not the tire manufacturer’s? This makes no sense since these tires were purchased after market. Also The year round tires are only four years old, and the snow tires are three years old. The paperwork from this morning stated in the comments section that I signed a document advising me that my tires were over ten years old. Not only are my tires not ten years old, I signed absolutely no documents of any kind. The statement was a complete falsehood.
After I put air in my tires and returned home, I unloaded the snow tires from my car to put them in my garage. The first tire I pulled out had a large screw in it? Seriously?!! I asked them to observe for any damages and make repairs that I was happy to pay for, but no one even noticed. I have been a long-standing, returning customer and i even gave them a second chance by returning today after yesterday’s poor experience, but they repeated it again. I have never been this disappointed in a Walmart tire and lube center, and because if the incidences over the last two days, I am highly certain that I will not be returning again.

I took my car into a Walmart automotive to get oil in it. I was new in town and usually went to Jiffy Lube, but this time I hurriedly took it to the nearest place as I didn't know where Jiffy was. This was about March 1st, 2019. After I left I drove about 8 blocks to my cousin’s home. When I got out of her place an hr later, my front passenger tire had no air. I panicked because I don't have insurance that allows me to tow the car and I didn't have triple A, and so I was stuck. I didn't know anyone around to help me put my donut on. So against my better judgement it was 5:45 pm and I knew there was a tire shop 5 blocks away, so I drove with this flat tire. When I got there, they were very kind. They put it in water. It was a very good tire and so I hadn't damaged it much and the wheel seemed okay I drove slowly in rush hour traffic. There was no nail in it.
I have special tire plugs that are colored and if they go orange it means air is low, so the mechanic said, they didn't put the whatever it is called, plug, on the tire well enough and it pressed down on it and it caused you to lose air. I called Walmart and spoke to a manager and he insisted that he had 12 cameras and would look for mischief, and that it was a big thing to say a tech had purposely done that. He never offered me anything and then said Walmart insurance would receive contact from him. I don't know what that means, but I do that when I got 2 new tired 2 yrs ago. The same thing happened the plug wasn't put on correctly and I ran out of air.
My son bought these to help but it's a nuisance. I am glad I didn't wreck my tire driving on it being flat. I was just livid that the manager didn't understand, and I know I'll never hear from them. I can't prove that someone was in a hurry and put the thing on crooked, but that's what can happen with these. They are sensitive and push the air out if they aren't put on correctly. I thought he would give me a discount and so, I'll never go back there. When my daughter got her new tires at Walmart the techs didn't put the Pontiac thing that goes on each wheel in the center back, good grief. That's why I like Jiffy. They are so precise and they are small and they don't forget things like Walmart does.

I went in for a oil change and a tire rotation and they said it would take about 45 minutes. After 2 hours I went to check on it. It was outside but they said they had to do something to it outside so I waited another hour. So I went out and asked the mechanic if it was almost done and he said that he forgot to give the keys back. I specified to check the air in my tires and especially the front right because it was losing air and it was at 23. After I left on the way home I looked at my tire pressure and my front right tire was exactly the same reading as it was before I took the car in.
I took the car back and talked to the mechanic and told him that my tires was not rotated. He said that he did rotate them but I told him the reading was still the same and he said That he checked them and they were all at 40. So he started putting air in the front right tire while I went in the car to check my tire pressure again and it went up to 40 and he told me that it was always at 40. But I saw him put more air in it. Then he told me he switched the front right with the rear right tire and that to check it from now on because it would be the one that would lose the air.
So when I left there all the tires were at 40 but the front right tire slowly went down over the next few weeks and now it is down to 29. The other tires are staying up at 39 and 40. I'm not even sure if he even did the oil change. He was the only mechanic there because they were closing. I'm afraid to take the car back there because I no longer trust them and they are not credible! I have been a loyal customer at Walmart for many years and I'm very disappointed! I would have gave a 0 star but that wasn't a option.

I called again and was told the full refund would be issued within 5 days five days came and went called again and was not able to get clear answer as to why I hadn't been issued a refund.
The customer service representative put me on with a so called supervisor name Julie who now states the order had to be cancelled at the store and she would call me back when she cancelled the order. I get a voicemail the next day stating that she still wasn't able to speak with anyone in the store but she was going to cancel the order and issue me a refund. I get an email stating that it would take 2 billing cycles for my money to be refunded and that they were giving me a 20.00 e card for my troubles. I will never shop Walmart.com again.

I drive a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited sport with a 3 inch lift and 17x10 rims. I bought 5 new tires from Walmart.com and had them shipped to my house. I drove my jeep 30 miles with a trailer and the new tires to the nearest Walmart with a tire center. When I got there I explained that the jeep was lifted and the tires were oversized asking if there was a waiver to sign. The tech said it was no problem. Two hours later they called me to the desk and said that they weren't going to put them on because they were 5 sizes bigger than what was on it. The tires on the jeep were 31.1 inches and the new tires are 33.8 inches. That's 2.7 inches bigger than the stock tire on a lifted jeep. Also I asked if I went home and put my trail rims and tires on if they could put them on those rims after they take the 37x14.50 boggers off of them. They said yes that was fine, no to tires 2.7 inches too big and yes to tires 3.8 bigger than that, lol!! I'm done with them.

I take my Toyota FJ Cruiser to Walmart EXCLUSIVELY for the premium oil changes every 3000 miles or so. I took it in March. I started hearing a Chuga chuga noise from the rear 2 weeks or so after. I then took it in May and on the receipt was printed [TRANSFER CASE PLUG WAS ONLY HAND TIGHTENED]. I asked the kid that helped me if it was low and he said YES it had been leaking. He said they added more oil. I told him that they are the only people who touches my vehicle and that I have the receipt from 2 months earlier that proves that they did the last oil change. And from all the other previous oil changes. The noise started to get really loud so I took it to a mechanic and they said the gears and bearings in the transfer case were damaged. They took it apart and showed me all the pitting and chunks missing from the gear. I had it rebuilt and fixed. It was not cheap, and I had to rent a vehicle for work.

Then told me they were out of stock, but I saw it showed 6. THEN told me they may not even be able to find it.

I have been a mechanic for over 15 years and have replaced thousands of tires including damaging wheels in the exact same manner as mine were damaged by Walmart, I actually worked at this same exact tire/lube center when I was younger. It's obvious that they did not know what they were doing just in the fact that they improperly balanced my wheels. Lying about balancing them which was very noticeable by the fact that I had the original wheel weights painted black and new weights are silver/galvanized so I was able to easily tell that they weren't balanced.
I also want to point out that I noticed that they had mounted the tires in the wrong direction of travel as the tires have a specific rotation per side. My wheels were reconditioned due to curb rash at time of vehicle purchase and if you look at pictures of damage there is zero curb rash, only gouges made by tire machine during installation as the rim protector on arm of machine ate into rim as wheel was spinning in efforts to get tire bead over lip of the rim.
As me and my girlfriend were watching them try and mount the new tires and failed repeatedly we asked the service manager what was the problem and that the guy trying to mount tires needed help and he responded by he is new and they didn't have someone available at that time to assist so we ended up having to leave and come back because they couldn't get tires on. I also want to mention that I had Walmart install the front two tires as well on a previous date and the front wheels were damaged in the same way but not as bad which I never made a claim as I wasn't present during that incident and it wasn't that bad but now having it happen again by the same place actually witnessing it for myself I am fed up!
They also were told by my girlfriend outside and by me inside that I wanted to keep my old tires and they ended up throwing them away. When I asked where they were, they said the people who come pick up tires came and they no longer have my used tires which the reason for wanting to keep them is I had a blowout a few days earlier and took a tire from a set of new tires I had set aside for my BMW and now I have to buy another tire to replace the one that was thrown away...
First picture is of R-rear tire second is of L-rear tire, you will notice the grey spots which is actually the primer under top coat of black paint and if you notice that the damage is smooth not rough like curb rash or rock chips. I sent this plus pictures and Walmart/CMI denied my claims saying that Walmart couldn't have caused the damage and hung up on me!

I went to my car and my battery was dead. I bought that at Wal-Mart and is under warranty. I went back in and said, "Never mind. We will wait for the oil and a new battery." I took a bus home and got my other car. I was called at 629 and told that they couldn't get the hood open. "You're car techs who can't open a hood." I said there are pliers on the floor board.

4 new tires were purchased for our Mazda 5 at walmart.com and installed at Walmart store in Casselberry FL. Shortly after on a hwy trip we noticed a substantial shaking/tremble of the steering wheel between 60-70 MPH. We returned the vehicle to the same Walmart and the tires rebalanced. My wife drives this vehicle mostly local and rarely does she reach speeds of 50MPH. We did not notice anything until we went on another long trip on the HWY. The shaking/trembling still occurs at speeds between 60-70MPH!
I had my vehicle inspected by Mazda to be told there are no mechanical issues and it was suggested that it was a balance issue and defect of the tires! My wife puts very little miles on the vehicle and the tires appear to be in very good condition with plenty of tread life left. I realize that it's been over a year but the issue is that these tires are defective! I only asked Walmart for some kind of credit so I can replace the defective tires. All that I am offered is an apology! Very unsatisfactory!

We bought a 2004 Jeep in perfect working condition two years ago. My daughter over the past year had been taking her Jeep to Walmart for the past year for oil changes. This last oil change was approximately two weeks ago. Yesterday, we noticed an oil puddle in my driveway. We looked underneath the hood and found that the drain plug looked like it was tightened with an impact wrench and the bolt head is showing bare metal. There's also a blue mark showing where they used a torque wrench. (My husband is a mechanic.) We decided not to touch it and immediately brought the Jeep back to Walmart. Spoke to Richard, the supervisor who then had Robert look under the hood.
Robert comes up to the counter, shows us a picture and immediately we were accused of taking the Jeep back and blaming them for something we did. His exact words were "you have this Jeep and are blaming us for something you did." He said it about three times! Needless to say I got a little heated about this and promptly told him to stop saying that as we did not do a darn thing to the Jeep, he and his team did. Robert then tells us that it was the first time they saw the Jeep. Wrong! I tried saying different times to Robert, who by the way informed us that he was NOT a certified mechanic, to look up different numbers in their system because my daughter's boyfriend was the one who actually took the Jeep in for her on multiple occasions. I even told him that Richard, his supervisor, had looked previously in the system and found them all. So, what he was telling us was incorrect.
Robert then goes to say that if they had found something questionable in the first place, they would have brought it to our attention. That did not happen the multiple times the Jeep was brought in and I informed him of this. So, after two hours of talking to Richard then Robert then Richard again, we were told by Richard that he would have to file an insurance claim because it was going to cost more than $500. By the way, I've asked for the pictures they have taken and received nothing.
After all this, we look this morning and there's a huge spill of oil in my driveway. My husband looks under the car and we find that the drain plug has been completely stripped. You cannot tighten it nor take it off! We take the Jeep back this morning and show the picture of our driveway. Now we are told that they didn't touch it at all. And they told us yesterday that the gasket around the drain plug was missing. How did they know that if they didn't touch it?? Now we're told that if we get it fixed, it voids the claim completely. My daughter needs this Jeep to get to work. She's a CNA at a rehab facility 15 miles away. We now have to spend even more money which we cannot afford so my daughter can get to work.
We told my daughter not to take her Jeep to be serviced at Walmart. Despite telling her of the awful reviews and the stories from other people, she went anyway. I had really hoped there would have been a good outcome and I would have written a better review and told family and friends to come to this location. I will now advise everyone to stay clear!

When I returned for that, the service manager said they cannot talk to me and I can only speak to CMI.

Walmart shows a disdain for customers who buy tires from them. The tires I bought turned out to be 8 years old. Their tires are sold to you as "NEW", but are in fact are 5, 8, or 10 years old. They have been sitting in a warehouse for any number of years, but they sell them to you as "NEW". Don't buy new tires from Walmart unless you've checked the DOT NUMBERS which tell the age of the tires. (The dot numbers can be read on the sidewall of the tires). And for sure, do not let them mount the tires on your car before verifying their age.
Once they mount the tires they will ignore ANY complaint you have and will most certainly not return your money. Whether you are right or not they will ignore you. Walmart buys their tires from third parties. Walmart does not stand behind their tires. They pass that on to the third party. This sort of disdain only further supports their need to make a profit without providing a service.

We had to have the truck towed because the engine is completely destroyed by having too much oil in it. Currently my husband's truck is still sitting at this shop as we have no way of paying for the tow or inspection. The claims department said if they were liable they were going to cover these expenses. As the previous shop said, the truck had entirely too much oil in it from the oil change Walmart did. The claims department contact, Melba, called me a week after the inspection was sent and she rudely told me that there was no way my husband drove his truck for so many miles with so much oil in it without the engine blowing sooner.
She cut me off abruptly every time I tried to speak and proceeded to tell me that she was denying our claim and Walmart would not be replacing the damages. She also said she would be happy to send my attorney a denial as well. I told her to have a good day, In Jesus Name. What they are doing to us is not right. Not one but two different shops have looked at my husband's truck and have confirmed that they put too much oil in it and it caused engine failure. Walmart needs to fix my husband's truck!

We had a 5 year Walmart auto battery that failed at four years. Wal-Mart claims they will provide a replacement/new auto battery for the price of a new battery MINUS the difference in the warranty that the old battery doesn't make it to (in our situation, it was 11 months shy of the 5 year mark) our pro-rated amount would have been approx $20 to apply towards the replacement battery. They were going to exchange our faulty battery, as it tested no longer good. HOWEVER, when the customer service associate started to physically conduct the exchange/pro-rated return, she began to explain the WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE NEW 5-YEAR BATTERY WOULD ONLY BE FOR THE REMAINING 11 MONTHS THAT THE ORIGINAL BATTERY HAD LEFT.
This did not make any sense. We asked questions to make sure we were understanding her correctly. No one contradicted the warranty information she was giving us, not even the supervisor beside her. She was saying we would have had to pay $80 out-of-pocket ($100 price of new battery MINUS the $20 pro-rated/'unused' amount from the first battery failing) and then, per policy as explained, Wal-Mart would ONLY warranty the new 5-year replacement battery for ONLY 11 months. Who in their right mind would go for this?! A pro-rated battery exchange/replacement purchase should, in the end, leave a whole consumer with a whole auto battery and a whole warranty.
The woman had no phone numbers to offer when we asked for a corporate number. She told us to look under walmart.com (so helpful) to see if we could find someone to speak to. When we asked the associate what she would do if she were in our situation, she said that she doesn't buy her auto batteries through Wal-Mart because of this. We will not be returning to Wal-Mart. Poor customer service, low inventory, and not standing behind their warranties have finalized this decision.

O MY FG GOSH!!! See I really wanted to... let me calm down first. So I normally take my Jeep Wrangler to the dealership for services. However I wasn’t able to get it in before Thanksgiving due to schedule conflict and I needed my oil change done. So me knowing Wal-Mart’s horrible reputation with all service work from previous customers, I decide to try them out anyway. I’m in my Jeep on my way up there Wednesday morning (11/21/2018) at 7:14 AM and I say to myself (Wal-Mart is known for messing people cars up. They better not mess up mine and I laugh about it).
I pull up at 7:24 AM and there's 2 vehicles in front of me getting their cars checked in, 1 car pulled in the bay getting an oil change and the other 3 bays are closed. So the guy walks up to my Jeep. I tell him I need to get an oil change(full synthetic), tires rotated and balanced, a new air filter and I will purchase my windshield wipers and allow them to put on. He says, "Okay. You will be looking at $52.44", I’m like no. It should be more than that but whatever. I said, "Okay let me get out, so I can tell you how I want my wheels rotated", he’s like okay.
So an 1 hr 15 mins have passed. I take my cart to back. Give the tech up front my wipers to be installed, they have now moved my Jeep and it’s up in the process getting tires rotated. I asked the tech how long had it been there because I noticed all my tires were on except the right front. He says oh they just started on the tire rotation. I’m looking at him pissed. So then the first tech walks up to me and says, “Ma’am let’s go over the tire rotation again.” We went over it twice, so that was a total of 8 times. I asked him, “Why does he have the right front tire off?” Tech 1: Oh no let me go stop him, no worries.We will take care of it. I give him the wipers, parked my shopping cart to the side and I went outside to make sure they would do it properly and they did.
So everything is done. They tried to charge me for wipers again but we got that problem taken care of. I left at 9:41 AM. Started on my 4.5 hr travel that took 7 hrs due to traffic, I have a 17 mos baby in the Jeep with me. We get back home. My Jeep is parked after being driven from our 7 hr travel. I wake up the next morning (Thanksgiving Day), to let my doggies out and noticed what I thought was a water spill from maybe the morning mist under my Jeep in the front. I go back in the house, so it’s now 1 pm. The family are all in the Jeep, my husband has started the Jeep and turned on the heat. I come outside and notice something is dripping from underneath my hood very bad. My husband pops the hood and we noticed my Jeep cover underneath my hood has a crack in it and was not put back on and there’s radiator fluid leaking. I’m like WTH.
I said, "Wal-Mart is known for doing stuff like this and this is unacceptable." We took it back up there on Thanksgiving Day. A tech came out. I told him our findings. He calls for the manager Jarred who has been there for 10 yrs. Jarred comes over. I now have to explain to him what’s up, the tech gets on the ground to look under the hood for the leak, I, my husband and Jarred squats down so I can show him. The tech and Jarred said they did not see anything leaking.
Lesson learned. Never will I again. If you are reading this PLEASE PLEASE STOP taking your vehicles to Walmart for any maintenance because they have incompetent technicians. I have previously taken my Jeep there to swap my spare tire due to a flat on the way to work and they ? me 5 times for that. I was very specific then. And they were confused. I specifically told them to take my spare off (my spare is a custom wheel) the back. Put it on the left front. Put the left front tire on the back where the spare is. The tech ask me, "So what are we doing with the flat tire?" I said, "Look. You guys are making something so simple hard and I’m late for work. Why don’t I stay here with my Jeep until you get ready to swap the tires?" And that’s exactly what I did. We pay these people to take care of our autos and this is what our money pays for. I think we need to talk about closing that down. Their horrible.

I will be contacting the NYS Attorney General about this... but three weeks ago, I went to Walmart Tire Center in East Greenbush, NY to get new tires for my 2014 Honda Pilot. I got there, they weren't taking any more customers because their tire machine was down. I talked to a very helpful associate who used their internal Walmart tire website. (Access to this is only available to Walmart employees, it is not the same site you see online.) This associate suggested a Quality All Season Radial that was on "Rollback" for $99/tire, I was told that they don't have those tires in stock, but they could order them. Have them delivered to Walmart & they would install them... I took a photo of the product # & the price & left, If they couldn't put tires on that day, I wanted to go to the Walmart Tire Center in Glenmont, NY, because it's closer to where I live.
I went home & tried to order the tires from the Walmart website, but even with the item # I could not find them, they were only on Walmart internal tire website... So when I realized that, I went to the Walmart TC in Glenmont, it was the following Sunday when I got a chance to go there, I spoke to the Associate there at the time, told him about what the Walmart associate in East Greenbush told me about which tire I should order. I showed her the photo I took of the website. The Glenmont Associate looked the tire up & they were still on "Rollback" for $99, so I ordered 4 of them.
They told me it should take 3 days for the tires to get there & they would call me when they get there to schedule an appointment & that they would bill me after I had the tires installed, they printed out an Order Invoice that did not include the price of the tire that I ordered (I still have that). I deleted the photo I took because I needed the room on my phone & I thought I didn't need it anymore, That would turn out to be a BIG MISTAKE, hindsight is always 20/20... That was on Sunday.
On Friday I had not received a call from them & it was snowing out & I needed the new tires for that very reason, so I call the Glenmont Walmart TC, & their phone system is so messed up it took me multiple attempts & excruciating waits all to find out... absolutely nothing! I had to stop in the Tire Center so I could get answers as to where my tires were. I get there & they tell me that the tire were there for a few days & they don't know why no one called me. I scheduled my appointment for 6 pm on Monday (3 Days Later).
I get to the appointment at 6 pm on Monday & they are clearly understaffed. I give them my keys, ask them how long it will be, they say it will be done before they close... 2 hours. So I go walk around Walmart for 2 hours, actually i walked around for 30 mins, got a few things I needed for the house & then stood in line to cash out for an hour & 15 mins (because a greedy Corporate Monster like Walmart doesn't like paying its own employees, (Same problem in the Tire Center) so they are trying to force everyone who shops there to work for them for free by only having one register open & the self checkout line... Disgusting!)
So after the line nightmare, I go back to the Tire Center to check on the progress of my car, I get there to see them backing it out of the bay, they park my car & bring in the keys. I check out... $550. Seemed high, but I pay it & as I am walking out the door I check my receipt, only to notice that instead of the $99 the tires I thought I ordered, I was being billed for $110 per tire for same tire.
I turn around & walk back in I talked to the associate who looked up the tire on their website & it is now priced for $110. She tells me she has no idea how to tell how much the tires were when I ordered them & I should come back tomorrow to talk to a manager about it... I go home mad about the bait & switch. The next day (yesterday) after work, I make my 4th trip to Walmart Tire center, I talk to the manager there, tell him what happened. I ordered the tire at $99 ea, they charged me $110 ea, he looks up the tire on their site, tells me that it says they are $110 on the site.
I asked him if he could check the price history, he says he will have to call the website & ask them about the price history & he wouldn't be able to do that until tomorrow, but he would call me tomorrow to let me know what he said. He called me today & lies to me & says there is nothing he could do because according to their tire supplier, the price hasn't changed in months. The old "BAIT & SWITCH." Why don't they put the unit price on the order invoice when you order the tire? So they don't bait you with one price & them charge you with a higher one. Corporate greed knows no bounds.

The mechanic, replaced battery in my Honda Civic 2016 (60,000 Miles). He connected wrong terminals, so electric harness got burnt, fuse blew. After that mechanic raised hands and said, "Tow your car and go." I had to tow car to Honda dealer, it cost me $2816 and more than 2 weeks of pain and suffering. If anybody has any suggestion How to sue Walmart for this please advise. I am student. Have no money. My phone no **. Email address **.

Went to have oil changed. Car was ready. Paid. Went out to car, popped open hood to check like I always do. Oil cap on engine is off. Not good. At least they didn't lose it. Was sitting on firewall. Went back in and told them. Got a O well shrug. Left, never to return again.

I mean, I know it's Walmart. My expectations weren't high. But they managed to disappoint with awful customer service, start to finish. We pulled in today, about 3 PM for an oil change. There is one car in there, so I pull up, not sure where to go, since nothing gives you any indication as to where to go. Finally some big, rude guy tells us to go park. We go in to get set up. The guy in there is so easily distracted. He wasted so much time on the woman in front of us, who wants tires, and he keeps telling her it's so expensive, and to go to eBay. He was looking at what he said were wheels, as in I guess whatever keeps the tires on. Seriously! Then some lady comes in mad, talking to another worker, about something, and he stops what he's doing to watch what's going on over there.
Finally, we get set up. He says about an hour, and hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. We go shop, come back an hour later. They haven't started our car. We wait another 20 minutes. By this time, there is only one guy out there, just walking around. Nobody is working. We stand in line for a bit to ask for our keys back. She says they are outside and get them from out there. We go out, there is nobody around. Finally some guy comes out, and we have to tell him 3 times what kind of car. Clueless. We won't be going back there again. Terrible service. Slow, and incompetent workers!!!

Walmart sadly is far more concerned about profits than serving customers needs. I bought 4 new tires. Along with the lifetime balance and road hazard. Tires were on for 1 day and the front driver side tire has a continuous thump while driving below 20 mph. Went to see about having it swapped out for a tire that isn't defective and they balanced the tire!!?? When does balancing a tire fix a thump? Left and went to another Walmart and that store did the same thing. I asked about replacing the tire and both stores said they would not replace the tire because they couldn't feel the thump. They drove my van 25ft!!
Called Bentonville and they basically said too bad so sad that if the store doesn't want to replace it they don't have to. There is no return policy for mounted tires. Any replacement or fix is 100% up to the store. You as a customer have NO say in the process. Sam Walton would puke if he saw what they have done to Walmart and how they treat customers today. But, profits are up and China is happy. Shame on this gazillion dollar company who refuses to replace a tire that cost them about $20! Gotta keep those bonuses up.

So much for ever buying Tires at Walmart ever again. Got new tires back in January 1st, 2015 and during my oil change in May 2018, they said I need new front tires. The Mileage on the tires at the time was 16,782. Well below the current mileage which is 40,000 or above. The tread was worn right down the middle of each the tire. When I first called them about it they tried to get out of the warranty by saying they no longer sell the tire (how is that my problem?). Today they said I could bring them in and they would check the tire out to see if it was a defective tire. I knew they were going to try to get out of the warranty somehow.
Their final answer was that the tires are not covered under warranty because they were "Overinflated" (32 PSI). Even though the tire has a MAX PSI of 44 (which obviously is extreme) they go off the "Optimal PSI of 30" inside the front door frame. After posting it on Facebook someone recommended that I check the PSI at the time they installed them. I have scanned PDF copies of EVERYTHING!!! They inflated them to 33 at the time of the installation. Had them dead to rights. I took the scanned in the invoice to Walmart on my iPad. They are going to honor the warranty. When I talked with the managers I sounded skeptical that this was even caused by over inflation, but if it truly was it was done at the time of installation.
Having thought about it some more. Today when they originally told me I overinflated them the invoice had all 4 tires at 32. I KNOW for a FACT that the back driver's tire was 30 or below having just checked it last week. The fact they magically came up with 32 pisses me off. I also find out strange how all the tires have the exact same reading during an oil change. At one point since the installation, an oil change receipt said each tire was 34 psi... What are the odds. *Rubs chin*. Next time I go in for an oil change or to get my tire inspected, I'm video recording me checking the tire pressure OUTSIDE THEIR DOOR IN THE PARKING LOT!!

Unfortunately with my car I am under the hood a lot checking fluid levels especially due to small oil leak. I put about 1/2 a quart of oil in every few weeks. So I know what my oil filter looks like and before the oil change it was dirty/grimy. I had an oil change done at the Beach Blvd. location in Jacksonville, Florida. Still in the parking lot I popped the hood only to see the same dirty oil filter! I complained at the in store Walmart mgt. but was told to go back to auto department. The mgr on duty took the car back into the shop to check it only to tell me that it had been changed and the problem is my dirty car. He said I could not have a refund and I could just complain to corporate. So I did. I was allowed to get a refund. But my car started having problems soon after.
I realized that bolts holding on the two back coils were gone, the coils were just sitting loose in the cylinders. Also radiator fluid was getting into the spark plug cylinders. I slightly adjusted the radiator hose at the top and no more leak. These were things that could have been done in a couple minutes to sabotage my car and if I could prove it was them (upset at me for catching them not changing out filters to help their bottom line) I would sue them! I did have an oil change elsewhere and it was obvious that the filter was new.

Being a previous Walmart tire and lube technician I know the policies and procedures. I went in to the Texarkana, AR Walmart to get a battery replaced on a 2003 VW Bettle. I left it there being that it was backed up. 30 minutes later I received a call saying they are unable to do it as they do not work on vehicle batteries that have a computer in the car. So I picked it up and drove home and called the Auto Care Manager and asked her if it was true that if the car has a computer in it that they will not work on it, she said it was true.
So I then broke it to her that I am a former technician for Walmart and I know that we were supposed to do what we were paid to do. Just because we had claims on oil changes did not mean that we could quit doing oil changes, she then admitted she was new and would talk about it when she goes to training next week. Walmart, you are so focused on the Academy program but are not narrowing down to the smaller managers. If a cigarette company had bad cigarettes so they just changed the way the box looks doesn't mean that the cigarettes inside the box are more trained. Learn to train other managers besides setting them on a computer doing stupid lessons that do not help.

I went to my local Walmart to get my oil changed, they said 1 car was ahead of me and my car should be next. I waited 2 HOURS and after I returned to that place they still hadn't touched my car (I had to wait 30 extra minutes because there wasn't any attendant at the register, yeah Walmart) and then they told me the same story, "There is a car ahead of you." I canceled my service and made an appointment with the dealership, they took like 20 minutes or less to change my oil. If you value your car and time don't go to Walmart.

After it was all said and done somehow my battery went bad so I paid to have it replaced and after I left the store my car was shaking and swerving so bad I had to go to another tire shop. After their inspection I was told the balance was off by a 1/2 an ounce and the forgot to tighten my lug nuts on all 4 tires!

Went to Parker & Chambers Walt-Mart at 2:00 pm. Request oil change and asked for estimate time. They told me there are two cars in front of me so 30 minutes 40 top. I agreed, so they get my info and they will call me if as soon as they will be done with the job. I walked into the store to do some shopping. By 3:05 pm I went to the cashier at Oil & Lube. After waiting for a couple of people the lady asked me for my info and call the guy, he came and told me: "Do not rush me, it is just me and my buddy here..." I replied: "Are you guys in the middle of it?" He said: "No, we haven't start yet with your car..."
This place is a Joke, Walt-Mart hire those guys that are not certified, fine! Just to change oil, no big deal, but at least hire people that actually work, they are talking, smoking, walking back and forward and pile the cars. Open the hook and that it. If you have nothing to do and you are willing to wasting 3 hours for a oil change just go there, anybody can change oil and filter in 15 minutes.

I took my car in for a routine oil change. I was satisfied with the time it took for them to do this. I was checked out. Asked to sign off and given keys. I then went to finish my shopping. About 20 minutes after I had paid and received my keys, I was called and paged to come to the tire and lube express. The manager met me in the aisle to inform me that my car window had been rolled down and left during a heavy rain and my car interior was "a little wet". When I went outside to check, it was more than a little wet and my door and instrument panel on the door was soaked. The manager refunded my money after I demanded this, but refused to do anything more or even say that they would be liable for potential damage. He also refused to get me in touch with anyone higher than himself. He informed me that there was no store manager. Corporate has been called.

Oil change and tire leak check, Marquette, MI. - So how long does it take to do a 30 minute oil change? First car in at 8am to do oil and check a leak in the tire. 1.5 hours later I see the car is out, must have been just recently out. They said we just finished the oil and it’s back in line for the tire. Their sign said oil 30 minute, tire 1 hour. 3x as long for the oil meant could be 4 hours for the tire and to get in. Their tech worked on the car the entire time, or should I say was trying to look like he worked. He didn’t leave the car for the 1.5 hours as far as I could tell. Needless to say the tire will go to a different shop or I will do myself without proper tools in about the 30 minutes. Oh and they did not reset the need service light as well. The gal at the counter’s defense was a nasty, "I didn’t check you in, I don’t know what you were told."

Hamilton Marketplace Walmart: 2 weeks ago we arrived at this store about 1:00 for an oil change. We were told the wait would be hours. We left the store without buying anything. Yesterday we came back at 12 to 1:00 again. We were told a 3 1/2 wait again. Without buying anything we left and food shopped next door at BJ's. There were 2 vehicles in the shop being worked on and no vehicles waiting in line. At Walmart we were told to get the oil change at another Walmart 14 to 20 further away. This is the closest Walmart to us and our drive was 20-25 mins. We did not want to go further in lots of traffic. This is totally uncalled for. Not only we not buy anything but you made a very unhappy customer who will go someplace else to shop. I and my family hold Walmart stock. This is not how Walmart should treat anyone. This is very poor scheduling and too few employees for the needs of this department.

Walmart Ormon Beach Florida - I brought my van in for a full synthetic oil change. Paid for the service and went home. Next day there is a big oil puddle under my van. Big leak around the plug. They stripped it. I got the receipt out and there is a note at the bottom that they recommend replacing the plug due to weak threads? No one at check out said anything about a problem or leak.
I brought it back and they told me to get an estimate to fix. Got that and brought it back. They said they can't pay it until work is finished. Paid $366.00 for a new oil pan. Brought the receipt and van and back and now they say they will not pay and to file an insurance claim. First of all the oil pan was not leaking when I brought it in. They say it was. Why didn't they note that before they started? Why lie to me about paying for it when all along they did not plan on paying for it. They accused me of lying when they fabricated this whole scenario. It was a disgusting experience.

I went out today to get oil changed in my 2004 Jeep Liberty. They said I would have to wait an hour and a half, no problem don't mind waiting. Anyway I went back to the lube center and they had a pair of safety glasses resting on the counter. They escorted me down to the lower bay and showed me the underside of my Jeep and said they refused to do oil change because it seemed the Jeep had a oil pan gasket leak or rear main seal. I don't see any puddles or pools of oil under the Jeep. In fact I changed oil later by myself and Walmart last did the oil change as evidence by the Blue Silicon thread seal on drain plug. Might I add the Jeep has 200,000 miles on it. It’s going to have a leak plus it’s from 2004 and its now 2018 the Jeep is 14 years old.
