    I took my camper van (Ford E350) to WalMart Store # 5312 for new tires. They put it on the lift and raised it too high and the roof A/C contacted the shop heater. It broke the plastic shroud, and crushed the A/C unit. The manager told me to get an estimate, and it was $1,600. It took 2 1/2 hours for them to file the claim. I am not certain what to do next. Now I can use the camper van because the A/C is broken.

    Long story short I had my oil changed at Walmart in Carrollton Tx. While I shopped. I pulled off stopped to take a call my car is now overheating. I popped the hood and antifreeze in pouring out of the bottom of my radiator. Of course the employees just flat out lied to me. I that's what they do deny and lie. As I'm writing this I've been on hold for 50 minutes now trying to speak with a claims person. I never realized there are hundreds and hundreds of these complaints out these all over the place. Walmart obviously doesn't care or they would actually do something to improvre the this situation of people's lives being put on hold because they are idiots and destroyed you vehicle.

    I got a repair estimate for 550.00 dollars. This is my family's only vehicle. I have four children. I just spent all the money I had to get this car because my transmission went out on my other car. I worked extremely hard to pay for my car and now is I can't drive it. Absolutely unacceptable to disrupt someone's life like this making them decide to buy food or repair their car Walmart damaged. Shame on you Walmart. My next call is to the local news station who is interested in my story.

    I took my F350 diesel to Wal-Mart for an oil change. My truck broke down & I had it towed to the mechanic. The mechanic said they didn't tighten the oil filter & all the oil drained out. I filed a claim with Wal-Mart & they refused to pay for my repairs.

    I would give a negative review but I can't, on 6/18/18 my brother and his wife were driving from Colorado to Kansas City to buy a new car. They had an issue with the battery in his vehicle. Stopped here to get a battery. Battery was put in in under 20 minutes though they had to wait for over an hour to leave. An hour later he calls me to tell me that his car is still having issues and had to pull of I-70 right after they got on the tollway. After driving almost an hour and half to pick his family up I found that the positive thermal was stripped out. Unable to fix it on the side of the road we traveled on, bought a new car and they were done with it. Sold the car to me.

    On 6/19/18 I drove back to the car's location and towed it to Lee's Summit MO, over 60 miles, I removed the battery from the vehicle and took it to my local Walmart to get a new battery and be done with it. I go into the auto department, talked to a younger lady who "can't find the manager". After waiting maybe 15 minutes the "manager" strolls right by the counter and goes into the back area. The cashier has no idea... 10 minutes later another employee mentions that she is back. Cashier goes back to the manager and then comes back out to tell me I have to go back to the original store to have the issue resolved. Two issues with that. Why wouldn't the manager come out to see if she could do anything or was she just scared to deal with someone? That's what managers should do. Not leave it up to the cashier who looks lost the whole time.

    Second, it's a national chain. Why would I have to go back the original store? So I leave in quite the rush as to not get even more angry, I called back to this location to explain the situation. After I got put on hold for 20 minutes I get a young lady on the phone who tells me that if the battery was installed wrong it would have fried the whole car. (Which can happen if the positive and negative are hooked up wrong. Not the case.) I asked to speak to a manager, she says she is the manager so I asked for her superior, and I get a young gentleman who actually listen to the whole story and understands what happen, he then took down my info and says he will call back.

    After an hour and a half, he calls back and tells me that they don't have to do anything because the car has changed owners, which is crazy as it's still in the same car one day later but it sounds like they were just trying to get out of doing the right thing. I didn't even ask for them to cover any of my time or the tow bill. Just simply replace the part they messed up. I hope this shows others that even though they may have the cheapest prices, the way they handle issues is ridiculous (this is literally about a $50.00 battery). At this point it's not about the money. Good Luck everyone. Try Amazon or Target instead!!!

    Went to Walmart, Midland on Midland Drive Texas. Oil change for my Ford Raptor. Checked my car a week later and I find the Dip Stick Tube has been Broken. Called Walmart, no return call, no surprise. Wrote a letter. Never contacted. Today I will send a certified letter and the next step is small claims court. Also Oil Filter was loose, splash pan under the front of my Raptor not tightened up? WTF? Never again, I usually do the oil myself, from now on, will never let anyone do my oil change, UGH!!! $1500 damage.

    Engine began knocking within 250 miles of oil change by Walmart at 83rd Ave & Union Hills, Peoria, AZ. After searching WEB for similar knocking problems experienced by other owners of same make and model and year, noted some comments about incorrect oil and/or oil filters sometimes being suspect. Sure enough, checked invoices for my last few oil changes at this Walmart and found the filters they used were for a different vehicle and had a much smaller filtering capacity than the one specified for my vehicle.

    Curiously, they had used the correct one in several oil changes that preceded the most recent ones. I'm guessing they initially used the wrong one because the worker made a mistake or they were out of stock on the correct one. I'm theorizing that once use of the wrong one was recorded in their computer record for this car the error was propagated at subsequent oil changes. This guess is based partially on my son's prior experience with the same provider wherein, as they later admitted, the worker couldn't find the correct filter so he substituted what he thought would work instead. Not even close. Thankfully, it was such a bad fit that my son quickly noted in his rearview mirror the trail of oil leaking onto the street and returned for corrective action before serious damage to his engine.

    Also, after investigating the brand of filters used, it appears to me they use a low end filter from that brand even with full synthetic oil. I think that negates much of the longer service cycle advantage of using synthetic oil (and paying the premium to do so). Am getting independent mechanic to investigate the engine knocking and if cause-effect relationship with under-capacity oil filter is established. I will use attorney to pursue reimbursement for engine repairs (assuming Walmart will not volunteer to do so). Regardless, if you use Walmart for oil changes, verify they will be using correct filter for your vehicle.

    I went to the Wal-Mart Oil and Lube at the South Huntsville, AL store for a nail in my tire. I was told it would take approximately 45 minutes, even though there were no other customers. After shopping in the store for an hour and a half, I went back to the auto section to see that they were just putting the tire back on my car. I saw the "kid" get in my car with a large wrench in his hand and he drove around the building like a bat out of hell. When I got in my car to leave, the tire pressure indicator showed "0" for that tire, so I got out of my car and told the older technician. He sent the kid over to check the tire pressure. The kid went to the front tires, when the nail had been in a rear tire.

    I told him to just check the tire that had been repaired and he grunted "OK", and then went to the opposite rear tire. By this time the tire pressure indicator was reading 51, while the normal tire pressure is around 34. The kid had such an attitude that I left. When I got home to let some of the air out of the repaired tire, I noticed that the little cap was missing from the stem, and the tire was filthy dirty. I will NEVER go back to a Wal-Mart Tire and Lube, ANYWHERE. There is no supervision or oversight.

    Went in for oil change and service techs forgot to see if hood was latched and secured. Left service center and was about to enter highway ramp and hood flips up. I called Walmart and was told mgr., was out but would give me a callback, never got call back. When I returned to town I was able to speak with the halfwit service manager and the first thing he said was it was "not WALMART'S FAULT." He said he looked at tape and service guy did their standard check to see if hood was locked. All I know is the customer should be aware and do a hood safety check before driving off the Walmart lot. The Mgr. was only concerned about the liability of Walmart, not the safety of their customers. I will no longer let this outfit in Monroe, LA near any of my vehicles, because they only want that $53.00 oil change fee.

    Updated on 06/19/2018: On May 31, 2013 I foolishly went to the Monroe, Louisiana Lube Service Center to get a simple oil change. After about 45-60 minutes my car was done and I picked it up paid the cashier and hopped in my car and headed for the interstate. Upon entering the ramp my hood made that sound we know as "this hood about to open up". I pulled the car off to the side and got out and slammed the hood, something the service team should have done. I was heading out of town and called the store service guy but he was out to lunch. I contacted the mgr. of service department and he immeditely cleared his crew and Walmart. His evaluation came in the first 40 seconds of our conversation about the sloppy work at Walmart.

    I sent a customer complaint to Walmart on the 8th of June, and was told a salaried employee would contact me. Today is the 19th of June 2018. The year of our Lord and no a whiff of a SALARIED Employee has contacted me. I am starting to get the impression they (Walmart doesn't care about sloppy service) They have received the coinage for the oil change I got. They do not have the decency to reply to my complaint, that they said they'd reply to in (3) business days. Have a blessed day.

    Walmart Auto Service, Ashley Circle, Charleston, SC. Wife took my Lexus in for an oil change. She attempted to start the car after the oil change. It would not start. After several attempts she finally got it started but it was running very rough and the check engine light came on. The car was running perfectly before she took it in and the check engine light was not on. She went back in and explain to the service manager what was going on. She felt as though he was blowing her off. Because he said he would check their work but there was nothing in the scope of the work they performed that would cause the problem. After the service manager supposedly looked at it and of course found nothing my wife went back out to the car. same problem hard starting and rough running. She left Walmart headed to our home which is a short 3-mile drive.

    The car stalled in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in the city. She got the car restarted and headed back home. After two more stalls she pulled into a church parking lot and called me. I grabbed my code reader and headed to where she was at. When I got there I attempted to start the car and it was just as she described. I plugged in my code reader and found two codes were thrown. I attempted to clear the codes but they would not clear. We decided to lock it up and leave it where it was until Monday morning. This morning we went over to the car after several attempts to start the car we finally got it going but it was huffing and coughing. and had no power to pull.

    I decided to call my mechanic and have it towed to his shop. The shop sent one of his guys over with a tow dolly. I explained to the guy from the shop our problem, told him the trouble codes and when the problem arose. He said it sounded like a bad mass air flow sensor. He then pulled the hood and asked us to come look at the air filter box. My wife exclaimed I see the problem. I looked at the box and saw the wire harness unplugged. The mechanic plugged up the wire terminal and told me to start it. The car started up and begin running perfectly. I plugged in my code reader and cleared the codes. The mechanic told me there would be no charge. I slipped him a 20 buck tip and we were on our way home.

    We got off lucky because if I had of taken it to a Lexus dealer it would have cost over $200. I purposely did not look under my hood because I did not want to mess with it. I wanted it to be as found by a certified shop. The root cause of the problem was the Walmart employee performing the service failed to plug up the connector to the Mass air flow sensor after removing the air filter box to check the air filter. The Walmart shop supervisor did not perform a thorough inspection after my wife's initial complaint. We are done with Walmart and their crappy customer service and arrogant attitude in handling problems.

    Took my car for a router oil change before a long trip. While driving on the trip heard a pop and car died. Oil was all over then motor especially near the filter. After towing back to home state took it back to Wal-Mart. The tech proceeded to remove the filter and attempted to start the car even while it was at an angle in the tow dolly I rented. The piston rod was broken due to lack of oil. The claims dept made those decision before talking to the mechanic. They had me take the car to and also took over 14 days to get back to me when the decision was already made before all the evidence was submitted. I urge you all DO NOT GO TO WAL-MART FOR AUTO SERVICE OF ANY KIND. The most expensive mistake of my life.

    Well the only reason I used them is because we shop at Walmart. But over the years they have made a lot of mistakes. This problem isn't about the problem I had with my car, but how they handled it. My wife got a flat right after getting her oil change. We went there with no problems, we left there with a leak. So the flat isn't a big deal, $10 fix, or less if I do it. How they handled my call was a big deal. The guy just kept telling me they didn't do it. "We fix tires, we don't give flats." I told him, "I am not saying you guys did it, or even if you did, that you meant to." He just kept cutting me off saying how they don't give flats. Overall I was calling to let them know to be more careful if it did happen there, but we never got that far. I will never use them again.

    Below is the email I have sent several upper level management members at Walmart including the CEO. I have made complaints with the BBB, Attorney Generals Office, and the Federal Trade Commission. I have not received my refund as indicated by the insurance company representative. This representative provided false information to FedEx to delay the receiving of my refund of $483.86 as indicated on 4/12/18 by J. ** with Claims Management. As of 4/13/18, I have not received my refund for my repairs. I have never experienced so may games and unethical service from a company. On 4/12/18, I was informed by J. ** at the Claims center that my check would be over-nighted to me.

    On today 4/13/18, I received an email and voicemail stating that the zip code was not valid. This information was verified with him on 4/12/18. It is clear to me that Walmart wants to play games with me and not refund the money owed to me. Moreover, I have no choice other than to file a lawsuit against Walmart for lost wages and emotional distress. This process has been going on since 4/5/18 and it should not have had to resort to this. I am hoping that someone in this company behaves ethically in this manner before we go to court.

    Email sent to Walmart: On 4/5/18, I took my vehicle to Walmart in Pine Bluff, AR for an oil change. Upon determining the type of oil my car used. I received my oil change. After waiting for 1.5 hours or so. I was informed that my vehicle was ready. When I went outside, my car was parked in the back and not on the side as other vehicles were. I asked the technician (** male with dreads). A few minutes later, I went to my car and walked around it to look at my tires and rims and then I started it up to realize that my oil percentage was not reset. This caused me to pop my hood to check to see if I had an oil change. Upon opening my hood, I saw motor oil all over the bar and the frame and on the side close to the window wiper fluid reservoir.

    There was also a lot of black oil in an area next to the filter. After seeing this, I went back in and asked for a manager and asked a technician, named Cedric to come look at the oil everywhere. The technician attempted to wipe the area off but I told him not to. I went back in and asked one of my acquaintance to come look at the mess and condition they left my car in. She and her daughter came outside to view the oil. About 20 minutes later, the manager Kennis came out and I address my concerns and pointed out to him all of the areas where the oils located and explained to him that it was unacceptable.

    I requested a refund and stressed to him that I have been up there for over 2 hours and I was late for an appointment at work. He informed that he would not give me a refund because the oil change was completed and he could give me a discount. I asked him if the store manager was there, he indicated that she was not and he was the highest member of management there. I informed him that his offer was unacceptable and that I will receive my refund today. I informed him that the person who changed my oil should be fired and he should be because of his poor customer service. He walked back in the store.

    The technician (Cedric indicated that the person (Bam) who did the oil change did not wipe the oil off and should have. He drove the car into the shop and they (Cedric and his co-worker). Later a manager name Bernard - Food Manager, came out to the shop area. I called the police and requested for them to come out so that I could make a police report due to my issue and to have everything on file in case there was damage to my car.

    Cedric and his co-worker sprayed the engine with water to clean it but did not get rid of the oil next to the oil filter area. I asked them to do it again. We could not see, so someone got a shop light. They sprayed the water by the oil filter to get rid of the oil and blew the excess water off. I asked if the water will affect the engine and they said no. My car was backed out and I got into it to leave. Once I made it around to the front, I saw a police officer and explained to her everything that happened. The Manager name Bernard came out to the car by me and the police officer. While the officer was writing her report, I called 1-800- Walmart and informed the representative what was going on and she indicated that it would take 3-5 days for the store manager to contact me.

    She indicated that they will send a message for her to call me. I requested a supervisor and the supervisor disconnected the call. While standing there, I saw water still in the area by the oil filter. I drove to the back and the technician with the dread used a machine to suck the water off the area. I went back in to find out the real name of the person who changed my oil and requested to speak to the female manager about the situation and asked her why did she not come to look at the condition of my car to see what the issue was. She indicated that she was the manager for the inside of Automotive. I left and returned to work. My car had difficulty accelerating once I got onto the freeway. When I made it to the office, I checked under the hood and it the water was back in the area by the oil filter.

    Once I got off of work, I check again and the water was still present with a ring of oil around it. I called back again and I was provided with the telephone number of David, who is the Market manager. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he informed me that a message was sent to David and I will receive a call. On 4/09/18, I received a call from Scott Abbot from Claim Management who did not leave his telephone number, but left his email and fax number. On the voicemail, he indicated that I needed to take my car to a ASE certified mechanic or dealership if I haven’t to determine if damage was done to the car.

    Later that afternoon, I emailed him and informed him that I would on tomorrow and that I had videos I could provide per his request in the email. I attempted to attach the files but they were too large. He indicated that I can put the videos on a CD and mail it to him. I informed him that my computer does not have a CD drive and I was not going to keep going back and forward.

    On 4/10/18, I took my car to Fletcher Dodge and informed them about the oil change, poor acceleration, and horrible gas mileage. After the technicians reviewed the car, they determined that the oil filter housing was cracked and cannot be replaced. The technician, Darin, called Scott **, the claims manager and left a message due to him not answering. I called him. I emailed Scott and called several times to receive assistance and informed him that I was at the dealership. I informed him that the vehicle had to be repaired and had to be fixed. I called and left a voicemail for his supervisor, and I did not receive a call.

    I contacted Walmart- Pine Bluff and talked to the store manager and she indicated that there is nothing they could do since their insurance was dealing with it. I asked for the Market Manager's information and called the office. I spoke to Amy and she indicated that he was not in the office. I waited for about 1 hour and I called back explaining to her that I do not have $500 to pay for a repair that I should not even be experiencing in addition to missing work due to a $32 oil change. She indicated that she talked to the Market Manager and he indicated that he was going to call me. Once my car was repaired, I contacted Claim Management and could not get a representative on the telephone and I called the Market Management office and I was unable to reach anyone.

    At 5:10 p.m, I received an email from Scott Abbott indicating that he attempted to reach the Service Manager and Darin but no one answered. I informed him that I had just left from up there and return and he indicated that he has not spoken to him. I emailed him all of the documentation regarding the need for the repair and he did not return any emails or calls until after the car was repaired.

    The repair process took 2 hours and I waited for 30- 40 minutes before I told them to make the repairs after several attempts to receive help from Walmart staff and the Claims Management staff. I contacted Scott via email at 1:58 pm after Darin, service technician attempted to reach him. Moreover, on 4/10/18, I had to pay $483.68 that I had to take out of my savings account. No one at Walmart is holding anyone accountable and I am receiving the runaround and unacceptable service. I have missed several hours from work due to this horrible experience.

    Maybe I am crazier than I realize. You be the judge... Would this upset you? I went to Wal-Mart to get a simple oil change on my truck (my first mistake). They told me when I got there that the oil change bay was empty so it would not be long. Oil changes take about 10 minutes so I looked around for 20. Came back... no truck. Trying to be patient. So I just sat. After over an hour and my truck was still not done I asked what on Earth was going on. The kid behind the desk informs me they have a computer that randomly picks a customer to have the manager come and look at the work and sign off on it, but the manager was not available so they are waiting for him.

    I told the kid that was not acceptable. The work is done, I am the customer waiting to pay, and that I am overriding their manager's inspection of my truck and I want to leave now. Please bring my truck up. He talked to the mechanic and they both refused. I informed them that, "You cannot legally hold my truck when I am demanding it and willing to make payment." Still refused. So I told them that I am not obligated to wait for their manager and if they do not bring my truck around and allow me to pay that amount to theft and I will call the police.

    Well that got their attention and they finally got the manager there who still refused to release my truck until he looked at. Fortunately, once he finally got there, he looked at it and finally let me have MY truck back. So would this upset you to be forced to wait an extra hour just so a manager who was too busy to show up could look at you car/truck for 30 seconds? It upset me.

They refuse to take responsibility and when he brought it to their attention they got defensive and yelled at him. My son had just taken me to a DR appt that same afternoon (right before he went to get the oil changed) and the wipers were down where they belong when they are off.

    In December 2017 I purchased two tires at the Walmart store in Okemos, Michigan. Trying to deal with the 'service' personnel was a frustrating joke. I was at Walmart, in the auto service parking lot 10 minutes before they were to open. I then waited 25 minutes for them to actually open. When I did make it into the service area, I was told that the tires they had offered in an online ad, a copy of which I had brought in with me, was not available. Of course, they had OTHER tires available at a cost of $35.00 dollars per tire over the one that had been advertised. There were up-charges for about everything including balancing, and stems.

    After waiting more than an hour after they said they would be, I left with two new tires. Moving to today, March 26, 2018. Three months after the purchase, as I was driving down a busy street, the tire started making noise, lots of noise. I was about 1 block from Bell Tire, so I pulled in there to see what was going on. To make a long story short, I now have a brand new $94.00 tire and a lot of anger. The tire had shredded from the inside out and was way beyond repair. I didn't even think to go back to Walmart. I deciding that going back to Walmart was more grief than I was willing to go for.

    I took the shredded tire to Walmart and I was informed that since I had refused the warranty they had no responsibility to do anything. Nothing. I do remember refusing what they referred to as an 'EXTENDED' warranty. It never occurred to me that the tires didn't have ANY warranty! Lesson learned. I will be sharing this story with anyone I can get to listen. Bad service, switch and bait tactics, horrible experience all around. I should have stuck to my commitment to NEVER shop at Walmart for any reason.

    I spent my ENTIRE day here, only for them to tell me that they didn't have the part to fix my tire, so 3.5 hours to get an oil change. They did refer me to Sears which was great and fast. Then when I left Sears I went to wash my windshield which I specifically asked the person at the desk at Walmart if they were going to top off the fluids because my windshield washer fluid was out. She said yes they do all that for you. Then when I go to try it it was empty and the detailed receipt said I "declined" the washer fluid. So I drag all 3 of my kids back to Walmart for the second time, wait in a line of 6 people to BUY washer fluid.

    When I got to the counter I told them I should Not have to buy this since it was supposed to be included in my service and I was here for 3.5 hours earlier. The tech said, "oh yeah our machine for that isn't working." Then the desk lady said, “I told you that and read it off to you I guess you didn't hear me.” WHAT!? I told her, “No, I asked you if it would be filled because it's out and now it's still out and I've wasted the entire day here. And now I still have to pay extra for washer fluid to fill it myself?” Which I did. She rang it up and I paid another couple bucks on top of the $40+ I spent there early. Very frustrated! Will not be back ever!

    A couple of weeks ago...I took my truck in for oil change. Got standard because is it just had a tune up and all I needed was oil change and knew they were SUPPOSE to use Castrol oil. The next day...I decided to check oil. It was way over! And dirty. I took pics and showed them to people and they said it was too far over. Looked like they just ADDED TO THE DIRTY OIL...ENOUGH FOR AN ENTIRE OIL CHANGE. AND CHARGED ME FOR AN EXTRA QUART. Back passenger tire has a slow leak. It needed air. They wrote on report they checked them. Bull! Went back. Manager had them change it again. Gave me a lil money for gas.

    The truck is sputtering and backfiring real bad. Shouldn't...just got a tune up. Ran good when I took it in. THEN...after this oil change they left my truck on. Guess they couldn’t hear radio. But I was ok until I went to change a headlight bulb and noticed…they did not replace oil cap. What really makes me mad is I wonder just how often they did this kind of thing to me but I trusted them not to check. I take 2 to 3 vehicles there religiously. Well I'm no longer religious. I do not trust them AT ALL. AND THIS MAKES ME FEEL THEY DO THIS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY TO UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE. IT'S A RIP OFF WALMART!!! FIX MY TRUCK!

    Walmart Tire & Lube in Wynne, Arkansas refused to replace a new battery on my 2011 Dodge Avenger 2.4L because the front driver tire has to be removed. The mechanic was like, "Nope we cannot do that" and they were acting rude. According to their website, they would replace the battery. They have placed undue stress on me. My car died there and at first they simply did almost did not want to boost my car. Never again for Walmart Tire & Lube in Wynne, Arkansas. Very disappointed and upset.

    Walmart, 101 N Congress Avenue, Lake Park, Florida 33403. I have in the past been happy of Walmart's convenient shopping while getting my car's oil change convenience, for about 1 year for my '06 Buick LaCrosse and about 6 months for my 10 Chevy Camaro. Okay I went in on July 4 as normal shopping. Dropped both vehicles off. Gave them more than 1 hour as promised to be ready, I noticed I didn't see my usual work team so yes I was nervous. A guy with long dress was walking in looking mean and not happy so my son said, "Mom no one here looks ready to work today. Let's come back". WOW! I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED. When I got back my Camaro tire sensor light wouldn't go off. I immediately smelled like a burning and smoke came from under the hood, I circled around the parking lot. Asked for manager, he took car back. Said would clean off spilled oil. Brung car back.

    I drove home. I still smelled this burning was so loud it even came through vents in car, while riding it's in air around too. Brung my vehicle back three days to Walmart. Same burning. Now also leaking in my driveway. OIL EVERYWHERE. Car wasn't even keeping oil in and the manager says it had to already be like that, so wait. For my last oil changes Walmart has done them, why in my invoice receipts nothing regarding any leaks while getting my car service, mind you I always get regular maintenance on my vehicles. I only started at Walmart because of convenience. Now my Chevy Camaro is ruined because of Walmart. Now I'm looking into Lawyer to help Sue them. They shouldn't be allowed to hire anyone to work in a repair or service shop of a big company who I thought was accredited, I even tried to contact management about my ordeal. Left countless messages. Still nothing done.

    I'm very dissatisfied with the service of local Walmart. After having to wait 2 hours for oil change in my car, I took it in for a new oil change. Having just bought it I wanted to know everything was new and done. Before going in my car's engine bay had been cleaned. Been driving for couple of weeks now so I knew the normal driving smells of the car. Soon as I left the store on the way home I started to smell burning oil, when I got home I lifted the hood and saw oil had been spilled all over engine with what looked like no attempt to clean it up. Now lots of stains on plastic pieces and dealing with the smell. I WILL NEVER GO BACK.

A week later still nothing. "The store manager intercepted it," she claims. Finally contacted the market manager. They refer me to insurance provider... now want more proof a month after the cars totaled. At my expense I am to tow it to another shop and have it re-examined. While this is all going on I had to shop online. Half my order got delivered.

    I ordered tires online from Wal-Mart in Plainwell MI. When I came for my appointment @ 11:00 am to have them installed. I was ignored by the staff. One staff member behind the counter told me she is not clocked in yet. I was told that I had to wait for two hours. I came back & waited for over an hour when they started and was told I'm all set to go. After driving away, I noticed my sensor light was on and blinking. I went to my dealer today where I purchased the car and had them align the tires and asked them to check to why the sensor light was on and blinking. They found part of a sensor that was broken.

    I drove back to Wal-Mart to speak to the manager and showed her the piece of the broken sensor. I was told that they documented that the sensor was found rolling around in the tire. I was not told that they found it broken when I left that day it was serviced. It could of saved me at least $62.49 to diagnose. I paid an additional $99.33 for the replaced sensor and $97.91 for labor. Total extra expense was $259.73 that I had to pay for choosing Wal-Mart to install my tires. Lesson learned, do not go to Wal-Mart to get your car serviced. Run!

    Walmart Rt 9 Old Bridge NJ. I bought 2 tires online. Received quickly. Went to Walmart to have installed. First the lady at the service desk had me walk across the store to layaway for a service receipt to be able to get the tires put on. I asked why? I had the tires in the trunk and bought them online. She said it was company policy. The lady at layaway said no I did not need one and would call over to the auto center. When I returned to the automotive service desk and gave my information again to the same lady. At that time I noticed the same three cars in the bays. Already 20 min have passed. I overheard service lady ask a worker in the garage if the car for a oil change was done. She got a reply of yes. Another worker came to the service area and told the manager the car he was working on needed 1 new tire.

    I then waited another 30 min standing by the windows watching, I could see no one working on any of the cars. So I asked how long would it be for my car. She said I was next to come in. Again I watched for another 30 minutes now being 80 minutes since I arrived. I noticed a car pulled up to the door. The driver got out and all the workers jacked up his car and something was repaired quickly and he drove off. The driver never came in to the service desk. The car for the oil change was still there 1 hr finished. All three of the same cars were still there in the bays. This is a 6 bay garage. 2 of the bays were filled with tires. 3 bays had a car and 1 bay was empty. I complained to the Manager Bob of what I observed. Bob went right to the workers' defense telling me everyone was working on the cars the best they could.

    I explained that everyone was hanging out in the bay where many tires were dropped off and they were standing around talking as a few of them moved tires around. The manager continued to argue with me saying everyone was working on the cars, he said, he even brought extra workers in on their day off to sort out the tires in the bay. He pointed out the worker now putting a tire on a tire machine. This was the worker that told him 30 minutes ago how the car he was working on needed 1 new tire. Bob the manager pointed to the car for the oil change. I told him it was done an hour ago and still sitting there. Where is this manager's head? 15 more min passed as the manager was still practically calling me a liar and arguing with me. Saying I was wrong of what was going on in the garage.

    The bay that was empty all this time. A worker pulled another white car in before mine. I was told I was next. No cars got worked on and pulled out all the time I was there (1 hour 35 min). Not even the one the oil change that was finished. I told Bob the service manager I had enough that I would give him a bad review online. I would call and complain to his boss. His reply was for me to look up and call corporate when I asked for the number. I asked for my key I wanted to leave. Another service lady there said to me this happens all the time. That only one worker works there in the garage and that he was on break. I went to Pep Boys about 2000 feet away. Great service.

    I would never go back to Walmart Auto service or recommend anyone to go there. I will never even buy another tire there as I bought a few in the past. This manager covers for his workers' very poor performance and lack of working. Yes very unsatisfied and if corporate looked up the time of people paying for service they would find at least during my visit no one got checked out unless it was a pick up from earlier in the day. This would show no service being done. 12/15/17 3:00 pm to 4:40 pm.

If plug removed it will warp the oil pan and that will have to be replaced. We were told by our mechanic it will cost close to $500 to fix. This is a new car and he is going to college in another town. When we called Walmart about it, we were told they do not take the oil out by the plug anymore.

    I bought 4 Douglas Tires from Walmart in July 2017. They have a 45,000 mile tread wear warranty. It is now Nov 2017 and tires are down to the wear bar. I put just a little over 10,000 miles on tires and they are so worn, 2 tires have plugs and 1 will not hold air. I took tires to Walmart, asked them to prorate and honor the warranty. All I wanted was 2 new tires. Because I did not have the tires installed by Walmart or service station (my brother mounted and balanced with professional equipment) they would not honor the warranty. Told me to contact the manufacture. I talked to the manager, showed him the tires. He said, “Well, they are not on rims and there is a plug right there”. I said, “They are worn to the wear bar and so worn out I had to buy new ones".

    There are plugs in tires because they are worn out! I only had tires for 4 months, put 10,000 miles on them. I do not have a work order dated when the tires were installed. They could not help me...I showed him my dated receipt, my vehicle service records (dated and mileage recorded), said my inspection sticker is more proof of date and mileage. I bought from Walmart and they sold me tires with a mileage warranty, not the manufacture. (They should honor the warranty and take it up with the manufacture themselves!) They refused to honor warranty. Basically being a do it yourself mechanic, Walmart warranty does not apply ---- they do not state this or tell you when buying tires and you refuse their installation (they say free installation, yet charge you for mount and balancing each tire).

    They also charged me $2.50 each tire when purchased for tire disposal of the old ones, that never happened. So aggravated by Walmart policy and how they are never held accountable for not honoring warranties. I know I am only 1 of hundreds of people that have had these problems with Walmart. I tried to find information to contact manufacture - Douglas Tires are made by a subsidiary of Goodyear. I keep getting the runaround and no confirmed answers!!!

    Went to Walmart for a simple oil change. I'd went a year prior and figured since I had a good experience I would go again. Everything was fine with my car when I left my house, I live less than a mile from the nearest Walmart. I went in and was told I would be ready in 30 minutes. My car was done and I was notified. When I got back into my vehicle I turned the ignition and placed my foot on the break and noticed that it went all the way to the floor. I was skeptical as to why it was like this but figured it may correct itself as I drove. Drove a bit and then the brake light came on. I went straight back to Walmart and reported my findings and of course everyone denied damaging my brake line. My car is not new I will admit, but has been running fine up until they pulled it out of the bay. Brake line still damaged. I will NEVER take another vehicle to Walmart for service!

They said the manufacturers said it... I went to the box glove and pulled my owner's manual where clearly states I have the choice to use both and it won't affect the warranty (the dealership always performed 5w-30 for me) but there was a Hispanic man in charge who had a bad attitude and didn't wanna even take a look of the owner's manual book. So they pulled my car out shop and denied the service. It's sad to see people like this working miserable lives in places where they don't want to be...

Compare to $25 in oil and filter from Amazon plus $15 to the mechanic shop in labor so I still saved $5 bucks. Thanks Walmart for being rude, incompetent and stubborn since it helps me to realized I can get more quality for less and watch out since Amazon is doing great taking your customers away...

    I took new wheels and tires to Walmart to be mounted and balanced --- they call me later and tell me 3 out of 4 are bent. They bent them and refuse to take responsibility. Turned it over to their self insured insurance company CMI. Adjuster stated I would have to prove that they are responsible. They were new when I took them in and the dealer stated they were inspected before they were shipped. I believe that because I inspected them also. I was looking for hairline scratches --- I would have noticed any other problems. Also the dealer has almost a 100% positive reviews. Would not have that raring selling bent wheels.

    Dealer asked for pictures of wheels and Walmart refused to let me take pictures. This impairs my ability to pursue refund from him also. I have a time limit to submit his request. But his website clearly states if tires are mounted on wheels returns are not excepted. Walmart did not realize they had bent them until they tried to balance them. I am out $599.00 for the wheels and $76.00 for the mounting and I have nothing I can use. All I want is what I had new wheels -- not requesting anything extra even though I have auto without wheels.

And on Wednesday, September 6, 2017 my car started to make a disturbing loud noise, the car stalled and I had to pull over. After checking a couple of possibilities with no answers, I then decided to check my oil levels, at this point I discovered my oil dipstick was BONE DRY.

I figured maybe the cap wasn't put back on correctly or at least not secured properly (after all I had absolutely NO problems with my car before September 1st and I JUST had an oil change).

    The auto department manager Richard meet me at the location of my car. When Richard arrived, with my September 1st oil change receipt in hand, he examined the car, checked the oil stick, and also agreed that there was no oil and took pictures. He couldn't authorize a tow truck at that time so I had to pay for one myself. The next day, my car is now at my personal mechanic garage. Richard showed up as well to examine the bottom of my car. Where he found splatters of black oil underneath my car.

WELL... as of September 22nd NO ONE has called me, NO ONE has returned any of the 30 calls that I made to them or the investigators nor responded to any of messages. They refuse to take my calls or hear me.

    They refused to take responsibility or own up to their mistake of lack of attention to detail on customer's cars. I take pride on the preventive maintenance of my vehicles and Walmart failed to provide that service. That failure has resulted the inoperability of my vehicle which now sits in front of my house unable to be moved.

I am thoroughly disappointed in the way I have been treated thru this process. I just want Walmart to take responsibility and fix what they KNOW they broke.

    November of last year, I went in to get my battery changed. They changed the battery. I left. But I started having issues with my battery holding a charge when it hadn't even been a year. First, a mechanic suggested I purchase a new battery. I told him it hasn't even been a year. He looked through the computer and verified what I said. A mechanic suggested I take it to a mechanic. I did. The mechanic said they could change out the alternator for a bit under $300. Looking again, I noticed the bracket to hold it in place was missing. I told Walmart's manager. He suggested purchasing a new bracket and said they'd install it. I did. They did. The manager apologized for the oversight, refunded the cost of the bracket, and pointed out they had an entirely new and trustworthy team.

    Reassured by the manager, I asked them to change my oil. They did -- they said, and charged me for a synthetic oil change. However, the oil has not been changed. But, that's a little tough to prove. However, the reason I can tell is my car is unbelievably quiet when it runs, typically. Right now, it sounds like a rusty wheelchair with Barnum and Bailey piled on top of each other with animals in tow. Basically, it's extremely loud! I'd bet my left arm the oil change was never performed. In addition, I had asked to have my tires rotated, but they said they couldn't do it because one of the bolts was stuck. Needless to say, I'm not sure if their hiring skills are off-kilter so they continually hire incompetent people, or if my luck with Walmart is HORRIBLE. Whatever the reason, it's not one I can leave to chance when it comes to the well-being of my vehicle and the money leaving my wallet. I'll drive right past Walmart and go back to Jiffy Lube.

    I bought 2 new tires on Sept. 7, 2017. First, I was told when I checked in that it would only take about an hour. After shopping for that amount of time I came back to check on my vehicle and the auto manager informed me that they hadn't even gotten to it yet. She informed me that they only had 2 techs on duty but assured me that my vehicle was next in line. Feeling a little annoyed that they didn’t provide that information for me upfront I asked if it was going to take another hour. She assured me it would not. It did, in fact, end up taking another hour. After the 2nd hour she was giving every excuse in the book as to why it took so long. She even blamed the customer's truck that was in front of mine (which by the way, he was sitting near where I was while he was waiting for his truck to be finished also). Finally, after a 2 hour wait they had finished with my vehicle.

    I was actually getting the two new tires because I was going on a trip that day. Several hours into the trip my dash informed me that I needed air in my tire. After battling to get my vehicle to the tire shop, the general manager at the tire discounters shop showed me how to find the right tire size on my door panel and showed me that Walmart had put the wrong size tire on my vehicle. I ended up having to have 4 new tires put on my vehicle (the correct size that is). They gave me the two new tires I bought from Walmart so I could return them. I brought the two tires back to Walmart when I returned home and the same manager was there. She was not willing to admit she owed me a refund until she checked my car panel and was to acknowledge they put the wrong size on. She now started complaining to me at the cash register that they weren't going to be able to re-sell those tires I was returning because they were now used (as if that was my problem).

    She did, in fact, refund the cost of the tires but she would Not refund the cost to mount the Wrong size tires they put on. She did the absolute least possible that she had to do. She never once apologized for my inconvenience and never did she actually take responsibility for anything. It's the worst management I have seen in quite a while. She may have ripped me off on the mounting of the tires but I can assure you I will NEVER take my car back to Walmart again.

    I just got home 5 minutes ago from trying to get an oil change done, simple, pit crew option they offer. I get it done every time for both of my cars there. I decided to call ahead to check on the wait, see if they can get me in. The guy I spoke to (didn’t get his name) reassured me if I’m in by 7pm (which it was about 10 til) they can get me in since they don’t have any others in line or waiting. He told me they close at 8pm. This is Walmart in Lorain, Ohio. I came in and the guy at the register denied me service because "they close in an hour". Why the heck would you guarantee me service over the phone but be two faced like that?

    They had 4 people in the back standing BSing among each other, no cars, door was wide open, and no cars outside. I wasted my time even driving up there. I for one will not be going back. That was a slap in the face and disrespectful. It’s better to go to a mom and pop shop anyways. Corporate cant seem to hire any worthy employees in their auto department. After this experience, I wouldn’t even give them 1 star.

    Aug. 23 or 24 I went to Walmart auto service department asked for oil change, waited for almost 45 minutes, there was nobody to take care of the job. When I walked around to look at inside of work place, no one on the spot, later saw several guys came back from outside of the building. It's not rest time, in week day it is very casual, they have lots of rest time. It is lazy. Walmart administration has serious problem in south of SAM Houston Hwy (#8), if not elsewhere. Almost in everywhere of their management. Later I believed that they won't give us NORMAL service, they're INTENTIONALLY and LAZILY to postpone service. I left without using their service.

    This statement prove that Two or three days ago, I did went to Walmart to buy engine oil and returned. But, again, the manager did not refund the money back to my debit account. He is cheating customer, and Walmart allows this kind of employee working in the store. Really incredible, I am start to worry, how many products their employees can steal free from paying by their customers?

    I ordered 2 new tires online and that went through just perfect. I have never had a problem with their online service. Went to the Store in Lawrence, Kansas to have them installed and was told at 9:30 am it would be at least 2 hours before they could install the tires. Around 12:00 or 12:30 I asked them how much longer. They admitted that the computer had placed another vehicle ahead of me and they would get right on my car. They pulled it into the shop, but didn't start working on my car and continued to work on the vehicle that had been placed ahead of my car.

    I then noticed that nothing was going on in the shop, but I could hear someone talking. I went over to the garage doors that were open and they were all standing in a circle and the manager was talking to them. This went on for 5 or ten minutes and this is when I decided to call 1-800-walmart to give them a piece of my mind. I spoke with a very nice lady who said she would call the store immediately and have the store manager go back to the automotive department to find out what the hold up was and the manager would come and explain to me why it was taking so long. I then noticed there was nobody in the shop at all. I went back inside to discover they were hiding in the hallway just inside the shop door, so I could not see them. After about 45 minutes they all went back to work and the automotive department manager (Shawn) came out of the shop and disappeared into the store.

    The store manager never showed up and finally the guy at the desk answered the phone. I heard him say the car was in the shop being worked on and then he went back to the shop. I'm assuming he was talking about my car. The lady on the phone asked if the manager showed up and I explained that is sounded like they just called the automotive department to find out what was going on. She then called the store again to find out why the store manager never looked me up to explain what was going on. Finally the store co-manager showed up to talk to me.

    I told him what the problem was and that I had been there for several hours and was fed up with it taking so long and about the other vehicle being placed ahead of my car. I also told him about the meeting and how they tried to hide from me. He went into the shop for about 5 minutes and then came out and advised the car was be promptly serviced and they would give me a discount on the charges. They finally got the tires installed around 2:15, so we had been there for almost 5 hours. They waived all the charges (a little over $12.00) and gave me the key.

    I noticed when I got in the car that the tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) dash indicator was indicating the front right tire only had 24 lbs of air. I checked the tire pressure with a gauge and it had about 32 lbs of air. I decided to drive it on the interstate to see if it would update with the correct pressure. We drove it about 7 miles and it never updated with the correct pressure. We took it back to the store where they replaced both front tpms sensors after checking out the tires and the tpms indicator on the dash. We finally left the store about 4:30 pm, so we had been there for 8 hours just to get 2 tires installed. They did not charge us anything for the tpms sensors.

    I am so fed up with Wal-Mart's service, that I will never and I mean never let them touch my car again. There is not a darn thing they can do to change my mind. I love Wal-Mart, but their automotive service department is the worst that I have ever seen. I swear a monkey could run that department better. Their people have no idea what they are doing. I understand they had 2 people call in sick, but that manager should have been out in the shop and helped. I get the feeling they could care less about customer service and only want to offer lip service.

    On, August 9, 2017 at about 3:00 pm I decided to visit my local Walmart in the City of Brawley, California, in order to have four new tire installed on my 2004 GMC Sierra 1500. I spoke to the staff there and decided on the size and brand of tires. I went through the entire song and dance prior to giving up my keys. The employee advised that it would be about an hour. Which was no problem since my wife and I would stay and shop at the store while the tires were installed. About fifteen minutes into the install, I received a call from a guy at the tire center. He advised that the tires that were being installed were going to be just a bit wider. No mention of anything else.

    About an hour later, I received a call that the truck was ready. We went back to the tire center and paid for the tires. I received my printed receipt. Again, no mention of anything remarkable by the staff at the center. My wife immediately noticed a small dent or divot on the front passenger wheel. The truck has stock chrome wheels that are in brand new condition. So, any damage would be evident. Then we noticed all four wheels had similar damage. I immediately returned back into the store and spoke to, Jorge, the assistant manager for the tire center and notified him of the damage to my wheels. His response was that the wheels were damaged when I brought the vehicle earlier that day for the tires. He said that it appears as if who installed the tire previously, damaged the wheels by installing weights on the outside of the wheel, then removed the weights once they realized their mistake.

    I explained that was impossible because there was no damage to the wheels when I washed the truck at home that morning. That was the end of that conversation. I proceeded to take photos of all four wheels and left the store parking lot. I called the Walmart store manager, YAYA, and explained to her what had occurred at her store earlier. She asked that I return to the store so that they could look at the damage to the wheels and I can fill out a claim form. I returned to the store a couple of hours later and spoke to the assistant manager, David. He assisted me in filling out the claim form. He went outside and viewed the damage to the wheels. He received the photos that I took earlier. The following day, I received a call from the tire center manager, Elva, she left a message with a phone number to the claims department with a claim number.

    I called, very difficult to contact anyone at the center. On hold what seems forever. Extension numbers to the claims representative is no help, they never answer and don't return your calls. And once you do speak to them, they are rude and condescending. FRUSTRATING! Days went by, no call from Walmart claims. I contacted my insurance company and asked that they look into the matter. They opened up a claim for the damage to the wheel damage. Forward to, August 23, 2017. I finally received a call from Blake from the Walmart claims department. Another rude and unprofessional twit. He advised me that they discovered a work order dated in December 2016 that noted damage to my wheels when I took them in for tire balance. What?!. I do recall taking my truck into the tire shop around that time but there was nothing noted about damage.

    THIS IS A FLAT OUT LIE!! I said this to Blake from claims. That is simply not true. There wasn't any damage to those wheel December 2016 and when I took the vehicle in on August 2017. He said that Walmart would not pay for the damages because of the notes of damage to the wheels back in December 2016. And that I should feel free to take whatever action see fit, but they have made their decision. I strongly feel that someone altered the information on the notes on the work order for December 2016. Because this all a lie! This is an attempt by the monstrous Walmart company to step on the little consumer. I will be taking legal action against Walmart. I will recover for the damages to my vehicle. And expose the coverup to protect the inept employees that damage the property of hardworking people and then try covering it up. Cowards.

    I took my car in for rotation and balance (I was told I probably needed one due to frequent driving to and from Houston). They do the job, I didnt wait too long for the service to be completed, but when I get in my car and back on the road, hear this awful sound coming from my tires. I call Walmart and speak with a tech, he tells me the sound that I hear is the wind going through my tires. I kindly reply that I had never heard this "wind" as long as I have had this car. He then tells me that it could be my bearings and that it has absolutely nothing to do with the balance and rotation they did on my car... I again remind him that my car made no noises before I brought it to them. He then says, "well bring it back and we will look at it."

    So I take it back and they look at it again. Switch two of the tires back, and explain all of these problems I have with "new" car with new tires... I'm done. I drive the car off only to hear the same loud, nerve wracking noise! I dont know what to do. I am very unhappy. I am irritated driving and having to blast my stereo in an attempt to muffle the sound. I am going to just take it somewhere else and see if they can fix it for me. Or else...

    I bought tires at the Walmart Auto Care Center in Union City, CA. which is about a 45 minute drive from my residence. So I put air in twice to no avail. In the meantime I tried to contact the auto center but my experience has always been that they never pick-up the phone. The operator continues to keep looping you back to the service center's phone and it just keeps ringing. And, every time (every time) I ask for a manager I am told they are in a meeting. I always ask "So what happen if there is a problem in the store, does that mean no one is available to deal with the issue?" And, I told they're all in a meeting that I can call back. So, I end up driving to the store which of course they do not take appointments. It is based on first come first served basis. But, I did plan to have a leaking tire. So, I spend over an hour while they test the tire to be told there is no leak.

    They put in a new valve stem. I say "Okay", but the tire keeps losing air and I have to fill it every couple of days. I reluctantly leave and a couple of days later the tire is losing air. I try to call, no one answer the phone in the auto center and I keep speaking to the operator explaining I need to speak to someone in the auto center or the manager. No one answers in the auto center and the manager is, you guessed, it in a meeting. By this time I just start driving 45 min while still on the phone waiting being loop over and over to the service center. Finally I tell the operator forget it I pulling into the auto center now. I speak to the manager about my tire as the last technician told me that they would probably would give me a new tire next time I came in. However, manager wants to check the tire again "Really". I spent over an hour while they check the tire last time. I spent another hour and they find a leak and change the tire.

    I'm getting ready to leave and they tell I owe $14.75. "For what", I say. You sold me a tire that did not work properly. It is my experience when you purchase a product that does not work you replace it. No charge for them fees to do so. I complained to the manager but he would barely look at me or respond. Just kept saying that I had to pay the fee. I call the corporate office and they never responded. Just kept saying someone would call me in a couple of days. I would call them back in several days and they would say the same thing. Finally I was told they closed the case and asked why no had called me or responded. No one was going to call me to let know the case was closed. Unbelievable. I will never buy tire from them again. Also the store manager Ryan ** is never available. Customer service is terrible. I now rarely go the Walmart for anything and I tell everyone I can not to buy items there especially items from made in China.

The next day when I contacted the manager they proceeded to give me the run-around trying to cover up the damage and stall me.

Then I was told to go to a auto shop to get the lug nuts taken off, and that they will reimburse me for any costs. I believe this is an inconvenience to me as a customer and very poor quality service. I also feel this is a act of prejudices and it was treated unfairly.

I was on my way to work the next morning approx 20 miles into my commute when I heard my car engine making violent noises and shaking. My check oil light was on. I had a gas attendant a block from where I noticed there was something extremely wrong check my oil. He said my oil was extremely low and the dip stick was nowhere near the level it should be after a new oil change. Oil was leaking from my car. I noticed an oil trail from where I pulled in the gas station to where I stopped for the man to check my oil. I called Triple A to have my car towed back to the Walmart who did my oil change. My husband had already called Walmart and assured me they were expecting me. They told me my old seal was left on my oil filter and a new one was put on top of it creating a gap for the oil to leak out.

    They paid for my tow but refuse to pay for a mechanic outside of Walmart inspect my engine. I told them "I'm afraid my engine was scorched and that metal flakes could be floating around inside my engine." When I ask for the store manager all I get is Joe with no last name. Walmart's mechanic told me if anything bad happens to my engine because of what they did I can take it back and file a claim but I can't do anything until something goes wrong. All I have is Will's word and nothing in writing. I'm scared that Walmart will not back up their word and I cant afford to pay $200 plus dollars to pay an outside mechanic to pay for something that was $100% Walmart's unqualified employee's fault.

    I usually do oil changes myself, but the last one my wife took to Walmart as a convenience to me. I don't really like to trust my vehicles to any shop these days as the quality and workmanship is non existent pretty much everywhere. It is now time to do another oil change. When I went to pull the plug from the pan, the first thing I noticed is that it was very hard to break the torque on it with a 3/8 in drive. I knew it had been over torqued. I finally got it broke loose but it would not spin freely by hand as any pan plug should. I had to use the wrench to remove it except for the last few threads. Inspecting the plug, I found the threads were galled close to the head of the plug indicating that it had not been cross threaded, but extremely over torqued. This is indicative of an inexperienced tech. About Me - 35 years Aircraft Mechanic/Technician.

    So to start off I want to give folks the whole picture. My husband and I went to the landfill in Branson to throw out trash away and as we were leaving a drink spilling on to my purse. I stopped the car and took all important things out and put them on the hood. Afterwards, I gathered up 2 cans of chew, 1 pack of smokes, my wallet, and medication and placed them all in the glove compartment. We never opened the trunk after the trash was put out. So we drove to the Walmart supercenter in Branson, MO and dropped the car off for an oil change. I retrieved my wallet from the glove box and we shopped around while waiting.

    Over an hour goes by and we go back to check on our car, when a female employee says he couldn't do the oil change because the cap is stripped. Awesome, waste of time. We drove home and fast forward to from 1 pm to 6:30 pm and it was time for my medication. I remember I put it in the glove box so I go to the car and open it...my medication is gone. My husband and I flipped the car and the house looking for it. Only people who had access to the vehicle besides us was Walmart. We drive up there and I tell the manager my situation. He reviews the footage by himself and claims he could see my glove box the entire time from the parking lot to the shop and back and the employee never touched my glove compartment.

    Defeated I return to my car in tears to my husband who is a law enforcement officer and tell him what he said. As a last resort I popped the trunk and move things around when suddenly I hear it, a bottle of pills rattled when I moved a shirt around. The shirt had been in there for a month...sure enough it was my **. We never even opened the trunk let alone put my medicine in it.

    So what we think happened, whether the manager covered for him or not, is the employee snuck into my glove compartment, saw the pills, and snatched them. Went somewhere private to Google the name of the medication, realized it was not a narcotic or anything he could either sell or get high off of, and since he had the keys he popped the trunk to ditch them quickly since they were nothing to get fired or go to jail for and he couldn't risk sneaking them back into the glove box. I don't have proof but I KNOW I did not put my medication in the trunk and the only other person that had access was the employee from Walmart. I will never go here again. I feel violated in so many ways because of this incident.

    During my second visit for oil change, they damaged the oil pan (Was taking the same car to the Toyota dealer for 14 years and no problems at all). A copper drain oil gasket is to be replaced every other oil change according to the standards. But these guys here didn't replace the gasket (to save 30 cents), instead kept putting more torque on the bolt (plug) to stop the oil leak, it resulted damaging the oil pan drain hole threads. Now replacing the oil pan costs around $400 plus towing fee. In addition they left black dirty oil on the floor mat as well as the side of the door!

I noticed a big puddle of oil under truck. I thought maybe it was rear mail seal. Had mobile mechanic out for estimate. He said it's the oil filter leaking. Called Manager at Walmart. He said bring it in next day. Told him it would be after 3:00. Topped off oil and headed to Walmart Mineola from Winnsboro TX. Arrived at 3:20. Was told the manager was gone. Come back tomorrow. No way I'm driving another 50mi round trip with oil puking out everywhere.

    Jeremy I believe was the young man helping me. Always very nice and professional but his manager said no so it's out of his hands. I explained now we're going to have problems. Jeremy was very apologetic but nothing he could do. It would have been very simple to call the manager at home to verify. I told him I'm not coming back. I will take it to another shop and Walmart can pay the consequences. Quick Lube in Quitman Tx was very helpful and informative. They removed the filter and confirmed it was the wrong filter. Half the size of what was called for. Not even close. Real mechanic said he did not even know how they done this.

    I understand mistakes happen but lousy customer service is inexcusable. Not showing up for a customer appointment is just playing rude. I have used Walmart service in Mineola for almost ten years for all four of my vehicles. Never ever again. If we would have been on a trip to Dallas we would have fried that motor.

    Then I called my mechanic about my car. He said to bring my car to his shop. So, I had my uncle tow my car to his shop and he tested everything in my car. My oil plug was damaged and all my oil leaked out. Being a student athlete in college I pushed my car to the side because I didn't need my car at the time. I had finals and basketball to worry about. Now, I'm back at home for summer break and I tried calling Walmart today and talking to the store manager and he got crappy with me and said it was my fault for my car leaking oil and that in his opinion there isn't anything Walmart can do for my car because it's been almost 5 months. He then said if I wanted to do something I would have to drive to Vincennes plus tow my car there so they can investigate my car.

    On Monday 4/24/17 I attempted to have the Springville, AL WalMart install four Goodyear tires on our Jeep Liberty. After a reasonable installation time I was told that they had installed three of the four tires but that they could not remove several of the lugs on the left front tire. I was billed for installation of all four tires. Department Manager said, "We don't do mechanical work," and referred me to a local garage to remove the stuck lugs. I returned the next day after having a real tire store remove the lugs in less than ten minutes. WalMart finally installed the fourth tire. My complaint is with Wal Mart management that prohibits local shops from doing their job properly. Calling stuck lugs "mechanical work" is bogus. They should have the tools and training to install tires even when lugs won't easily remove. I won't be back!

    Interesting side point: while second shop was working on stuck lugs, the tech mentioned that they get a lot (about six a year in small Alabama town) of WalMart oil change customers coming in to get a new oil pan as techs over tightened and stripped oil drain plugs. It's the inconvenience and extra time involved that really has me angered. Avoid WalMart tire and auto centers until management empowers and trains their techs to do the job correctly. Stuck lugs are not all that uncommon. Wake up WalMart!

    I had Walmart in Bluefield Va mount and balance 4 tires for me and after doing so they placed hammer on wheel weights on the inside edge of my alloy wheel instead of using adhesive weights on the inside of rim. While traveling on a recent trip I lost my brakes approximately 100 miles from home and after visual inspection there was only about a 1/2 inch clearance from my rear rim and the rear brake line and wheel speed sensor wire. Due to the inside wheel weight it cut my abs sensor wire and brake line in two causing a complete brake system failure! I almost crashed on the interstate with multiple passengers in my truck and was stranded almost 2 hours from home.

    I have placed two calls with Walmart management at the store that did the work and so far I feel as though I am being given the runaround. This is my only vehicle and I am tired of waiting for Walmart to call me back and make this right so I can get my truck back on the road. I paid nearly 80 bucks to have the tires mounted and balanced and due to someone's slack ** work it has left me totally screwed and caused much more damage and problems!

    On March 4, 2017 I bought a set of tires from the Walmart at Hillsboro, Texas. They mounted them, and balanced them. I then took my car to Hill Auto Care to have the wheels aligned. When I picked the car up, the owner told me the right front tire was bad. The car pulled to the right. He had moved the tire from the left front because it pulled to the left. We took the car back to Walmart March 19 and they said nothing was wrong with the tire. They balanced it again and said if that didn't fix it to come back. It didn't fix it. I had to hold the car in the road it pulled to the right so bad. I went back to Walmart March 20, 2017 as they had instructed me to do. Walmart refused to put a new tire on and said there was nothing wrong with that tire although it was already wearing on the edge. The business where I had the wheels aligned assured us the bands were bad in the tire. We need someone to help us get satisfaction.

    I took my car to Walmart yesterday (03/01/17) at 11:31 a.m for an oil change, five hours later my motor is knocking and my SUV is running hot. I put coolant in radiator and it stop overheating. Now I am driving again and this time the knock is louder and the car is slowing down on speed. I pulled over again to see what's wrong. I didn't hear anything. So I cranked back up and the low oil pressure light comes on. I contacted Walmart and they said get it told to them and they will reimburse me the tow cost as well refund the oil change. I am stuck side the road with an 65 year old lady who has heart problems. I called AAA towing and I had to get a membership for them to even assist me. I only had like a hundred and some odd dollars. The total cost to the nearest destination was one hundred and fifty bucks.

    Now I got to get the truck towed to Walmart in the morning. Now how am I supposed to that when I already overdraft my bank card to get car to passenger home, because it was the closest to the Walmart that did the service to my car. I had a good experience with them a month prior to this and it ran very good no problems, Now this time they claiming that it has a oil leak prior to services and and the engine making noise. The dilemma I have is how in the world that happen and this is the same vehicle from a month prior to this services. And it was not knocking prior to me driving it myself up there.

    How can I get the car repaired at Walmart's expense. I only have liability insurance so rental car doesn't come with that package because it doesn't carry it and if I wanted it, it would have been extra and that was out of my budget. I can't afford another vehicle. I just got this one in 11/16. Come on Walmart this is a raw deal. I am planning to catch bus up there first thing in the morning with receipts of everything I spent. I already emailed them and explained what happen and that I looked forward to meeting with supervisor and resolve this issue.

    I took my car to the Walmart in Azle Tx for an oil change. When they were done I was told the threads on the oil plug were stripped out and the car was leaking oil. They also made it clear that it was that way before the service. Well since they also changed the oil the last time it was done then they are clearly responsible. My car is now at a reputable auto repair getting a new oil pan and oil plug and Walmart is paying for it. The mechanic at the auto repair shop said he had another car in his shop with the same problem from Walmart. So STAY AWAY from the Walmart automotive in AZLE TX. They are idiots.

    Went to Walmart in Pine City, MN to get two new tires and against my better judgement I had them change the oil. It took them 2 1/2 hours. I asked them why it took so long and they said they had problems getting the plug out. Well... today when I came out of the gas station I noticed a huge puddle on the ground under my car. I pulled back and looked at it. I was thinking to myself "Is that from my car?" After looking at it I thought "Well that can't be from my car because that oil is black and I just got it changed so it should be almost clear."

    I drove home and then to church tonight and then back home. My mom said, "Hey look under your car because you left a huge puddle of oil in the driveway." She shined a flashlight on it and sure enough my whole underneath is covered in oil! I have to take it into town and have a more trusted mechanic look at it to find out exactly what Walmart did. I'm praying that my motor wasn't damaged!

    I drove all the way to Duluth and back, plus over to Danbury a couple of times with it like that. I've been driving it for 4 days now. I never thought to check the oil because I just got it changed and it never leaked oil or anything before. My advice: Don't go to Walmart for oil changes. I'm praying that they didn't cross thread my oil pan. After looking at all these reviews I wonder how Walmart can continue to do this to people and get away with it. I will be bringing them my invoices and hopefully they will compensate for it somehow. A simple oil change is costing a lot more! So sad!

    We took in our Equinox which requires the synthetic blend 50/50 oil and for tire rotation. The desk clerk did not seem to understand my oil explanation. The work orders we had to do twice because I wanted the tires rotated too? In the end it was done and I asked an older gentleman again about the oil and he said "Oh yes they use it a lot", which they should. Before I left I know I wanted to check it out but the family was waiting. This car with this oil normally is changed at about 5k miles but can go to 7k per manual so at about 4k I checked it and it was filthy more so than it has ever been before and when I changed it, the level it was about a 1.5 qts low. No way is this right. They could not have replaced it and the filter was gritty.

    I also checked the Castrol oil site. This is even the wrong oil they say they used and they do carry the right type. Never again will I trust these goofballs that have a blank face when you ask a question or get perturbed when doubted. Also the odometer on the order shows all 1s but the right odometer reading is on the separate tire rotation sheet. I plan on going back to the store and getting a complete refund.

He told me they just say that to get me to buy their battery.

So take it to another parts store and they told me after having battery on their machine it stopped at 53%. And it wouldn't take no more of a charge. So today I take it back to Walmart and it was very busy, but when I got to counter they tried telling me that their manager just told them no more work orders.

I left my job phone in the car and realized the phone was missing when I got home. One of the associates had to have taken the phone because they were the only people who had access to my car. The phone has been reported stolen with my job's security department.

    I attempted to go back to the Walmart location to retrieve my phone but no one would admit to having the phone. Walmart should not have thieves working for them. In addition to the theft it took the associates 4 hours to put 3 new tires on the car. After a couple hours I asked one of the associates to just put the old tires back on the car but he informed me that the associate that was working on the car had put holes in the tires. This means the associate put holes in the tires without my consent. After waiting for 4 hours I asked the associate twice to just put the spare on for the last tire. I took the last tire to Merchant's the next day and they informed me that my rim had been damaged (deep gashes) by the Walmart associates when they were attempting to get the tire off the rim.

    Had the oil changed in my son's three year old car at Walmart, West Columbia SC. The next morning a large oil spot was present on an otherwise pristine driveway. Looking under the car revealed an active leak under at the front of the oil pan, directly under the drain plug and evidence of a large gob of blue sealant. Returned car to Walmart and noticed that the invoice indicated the car had a previous oil leak. I asked the technician that if an active leak was detected, why they would not inform the customer beforehand. He indicated that they were simply too busy to point out any problems. He indicated that the gasket on the rear of the oil pan had a leak although it is clearly evident that the leak is at the front around the drain plug.

    He asked if I was trying to blame them for my defective gasket. I again pointed out that the leak did not happen until they worked on the car, evidenced by a pristine driveway and only the new leak from the front of the pan. He looked under the car and then informed us that there was actually no leak but just left over oil from the technician not cleaning up his mess. He even mentioned dirty gloves! He continued to point out that there was no leak because the oil was still full. My son and myself observed this entire encounter from less than 10 feet from the service bay and noted that the hood had never been opened for anyone to check the oil. I asked how he could determine that no oil was missing since he didn't open the hood. He still claimed that this procedure had been done although I watched the entire time.

    I returned to Walmart this morning with pictures and videos of the leak, the clean driveway with the exception of the new leak and was told that they don't fix leaks. They brought out the technician that changed the oil and he said that my pictures showed old oil because it was dark. He indicated that it should be clear if it was a leak. It would be an understatement to indicate that essentially all of these responses are an insult to my intelligence considering that it is clearly evident that I have an active leak dripping off the large glob of sealant they applied to cover up the problem they created.

    Oct. 18th of 2016, 2:30 P.M. I went to the Walmart at 2150 Chili Ave., Rochester, NY 14624, to have 2 new tires installed on the front of my 1999 Dodge Neon sport. I know you're probably thinking about the year of the vehicle and would not have asked for 2 new tires. So to continue, the installer drove the car up on the lift, had some difficulty with lug nuts and had another worker take off the remaining lugs. The original operator then finished installing the 2 tires. Lowered the lift, put the car in neutral, probably thinking it was in reverse, revved the engine very high RPMS, realizing it wasn't in % reverse, suddenly put it in reverse and still in high speed tried to back up.

    All of a sudden there was a loud explosion and a blown out transmission. Now there is no longer a reverse on our transmission. We depended so much on our car for several doctor appts., groceries etc. And to make things worse they deny everything. So now we have to take them to small claims court when we get a ride and $50.00 for the claim application. I spoke to a lawyer. He says it cost $750.00, money we don't have!

    When he was done he proceeded to, or attempted to take my car off the lift. First lowering the lift, he put the car in gear, which I guess he thought it was in reverse when actually it was in neutral, and revved the engine in high RPMS. Realizing then suddenly put in reverse and still in high rpms tried to back up. There was a loud explosion and he blew out the reverse gear on our transmission. I filled out the incident report. I called back to try to get a name and phone.

    Today I spent 4 hours at Walmart trying to get my oil changed. They broke my oil plug. At first I don't think they were going to tell me. They tried to tell me the last person that changed my oil probably messed it up. However, they were the last persons to change my oil. They even tried to get me to drive my car home leaking oil. I wouldn't do it. Then the manager wanted my permission to drive my car outside with no oil in it. I told him I couldn't tell him to do that. I told him I wasn't a mechanic and I didn't know what kind of repercussions that might have. I thought they would push my car outside. However they drove it out. I would not drive it, but they thought it would be okay for them to do it. Now, my car is stuck at Walmart and I have no transportation.

    I have upcoming doctor's appointments and have no alternative transportation. I worry how long I will be without a vehicle. I don't want to be stuck at home! This has turned into a very stressful situation for me. I'll never let them touch another vehicle of mine. This definitely was not worth the few dollars I saved. Now I'm worried if they messed my engine up driving it outside the garage. I'm not sure how long they left it idle. Oh God, what did I do? I received no receipt. My vehicle is still there. They told me a claims agent would contact me.

    The Walmart Tire Center admits the battery is bad and won't hold a charge. The manufacture date marked on the battery is 8/15. Today is 10/14/16. It has a 3 yr full replacement warranty. THEY WON'T replace it. Furthermore, I waited close to two hours for them to even say it won't hold a charge. The assistant store manager did concede to replace it with a warranty. With the original receipt. Now the interesting thing they're the only store that carries the brand... MAXX Ever Start. Manufactures warranty is a blanket warranty not a store write-off.

    Bought four new Goodyear Eagle LS tires on 12/17/2012 from Walmart and had them installed. Rotated them myself several times and on 10/12/2016, took my car to Walmart to have tires rotated and balanced since lifetime balancing is included. They told me that they would not balance or rotate tires because they were dry rotted. I asked how could this be with only 28000 miles and being less than 4 years old. They said there was nothing they would do. Then said I should replace tires. Another customer who was waiting for his car was also told his tire were dry rotted and no work could be done. Do we see a pattern here? I left with my car and went to another tire shop in town and they rotated and balanced tire and said tires were fine. Went to Goodyear store and they also said tire were not dry rotted. Seems like Walmart is using the dry rot lie to sell more tires. I'll never go back.

    The Walmart TLE is very popular, so it's natural to be swamped on the weekend midday. No reason to be salty to customers with questions. I went to store 0594 to get oil changed. Long story short, Not only did they put in the wrong amount of oil to have my car smoking out, but when I addressed mgt. she was rude and unhelpful. She didn't even Confront the worker to try and resolve the issue. She told me to wait and never came back. When I asked about her they said she was gone for the day.

    I came back two hours later to speak to a store manager and when I came, I saw she was there. I asked, "Maam are you back working. The gentlemen said you were gone for the day." She replied "I was. What do you need now." As if I was taken too much of her time already. I told her "I need to see someone about this matter. My car is smoking, they did not perform all the service and I just want my oil change corrected and them to finish vacuum" (included with a synthetic o.c.). She said "well maam I can't help that your car is old and smoking but I can give you a $25 gift card and that's it."

    She was very rude, and I didn't ask for money I just wanted what I paid for done right. She said "well maam that's all I have to offer you." She just walked away and I didn't see her again. I had to get someone from electronics to call the store manager. Btw this rude asst mgr is alysha. Don't know the last name. They wear their first names on their badges. Please address this.

    After leaving work I called Walmart to make an appointment to get my oil changed. I have never gotten it changed at a Walmart before. And should of listened to voice in my head. That was July 6 2016. The head guy "D" said he'd get me in ASAP as soon as one of the pickups were pulled out. I waited n waited... pick up was pulled out... there was a customer that came right after me and made an appointment. As I stood there waiting, their vehicle was pulled in!!! Now when I called he said they take no prescription appointments and I know they made the appointment after mine!! So I asked D "am I getting bumped out of the way??" "He said ooh we will get you in." I should of just left then!!! So finally they pulled mine in... they knew I was a little torked. So they especially "D" avoided me.

    So I pay the bill then I notice on the bill they have... battery check-declined (they never asked I never said no). One quart low... they never told me that. When I asked he said "it's standard"??? Then they had... tire pressure checked--all tires were to be at 35. I NEVER seen them checked coz I stood right there watching. Now less than a month my oil light came on, the engine light came on, service stabilization traction light came on. All in succession of each other. This was on a Sunday night around 6pm... Nothing open. I immediately call where I bought the Yukon from, I get it there... I am informed that the motor is shot!!! And it was over 3 quarts low on oil!!!

    So I now have a vehicle that needs a motor. I was quoted around 8000.00$$. I have 5 kids work hard and because of a shot type oil change that costed me 21.57. I am out a vehicle that I owe 14,000.00 on!!! I called the Wallmart, the tech said after looking at my vehicle that's where I should start the figures. They didn't do something right or did something on purpose to show me because I was upset over being bumped in line. Because he could see no reason why in a couple of weeks my motor is shot.

His statement was the video showed my car was not like that on video and he said insurance company would be in control of case from that point. Insurance company called and gave me a case number and name of person who handle case.

    I had two new tires installed at Walmart in Wilmington, OH and I was very pleased with how I was treated and in a very short wait. The service manager, Rita, was very nice. The two men who installed my tires were right on it and asked questions to me to make sure they do the job right, which makes me aware that they wanted to do the job right and with me being a woman, it made me feel like I knew what I was talking about. The only drawback I do have with Walmart Tire and Lube is they do not have the equipment nor manpower to align the tires after installation. I have to go somewhere else for alignment. Other than that, my experience was appreciated and for a good price.

    Went in to have my oil changed on 6/29/2016, at 7:33am. There was one other vehicle in front of me, that was fine. I told the clerk at the counter I generally get the "PIT CREW" oil change, which basically includes oil and oil filter and changing the oil for $19.88. But I was going to be making a trip to Austin so I decided on the "STANDARD" oil change. It included many other things for $29.88 like check tire pressure, transmission fluid, washer fluid, check battery, grease fittings, check wipers, air filter, vacuum carpet, check all lights, wash windshield. I can definitely say I should have saved my money and went with the PIT CREW because on print out I received of everything that was done I think 2 or 3 things we're actually done...

    Greased fittings - 0 fittings (what it says), wash windshield - completed (wasn't done), tire pressure - all checked 32 (done), front wipers - checked, rear wiper - checked (there is none), vacuumed carpet - completed (was not done), washer fluid - filled (I filled it myself next day). Needless to say I was ripped off for the standard oil change. Could have gotten the same thing for less money and will never do that again.

    Simply, they didn't screw the drain plug back in correctly and I lost all my oil on the highway. When I took it back in to complain, the manager was wonderful but the employee who made the mistake was angry that he was reprimanded so when he was told to give me a free oil change, he damaged my oil pan. I know how to change my own oil and opt not to because of time (takes me an hour as opposed to 25 minutes). I do it myself now.

We took the tires back to Walmart for them to look at hoping they would replace them, but they said we must of ran over something because the rims are bent. They act like we are lying about it which we're not. We have used Walmart for years but I can no longer recommend them after this.

    So I went to Walmart for a quick oil change but instead the two workers who worked on my car stripped my screw that holds the oil in my oil pan, therefore it will not hold oil anymore. Instead of the guys being honest and telling me the truth they blamed my car before I got there even though it was fine before. They said not to drive it and to get it towed and fixed. Not sure why it is my problem to have to fix when they were the ones who screwed it up. They also threw away my old plug and stuck a rubber glove, I repeat a rubber glove up inside, but did not care to tell me that until I was almost inside my car. So I called my boyfriend who is good with cars, but both of us working full time we just didn't have time to change the oil ourselves, and told him. He was furious and said to file a claim and I did. Will never take my car to Walmart again. If their workers can't do a simple oil change they shouldn't be working in the field!!

    My husband and I had saved for a year to purchase my car straight out so that I would not have a car payment. I've really prayed about what I am doing at this moment. As everyone know my car has been down since Monday, May 23rd, 2016. As everyone also knows, my car was in perfect mechanical condition up until that date. Robert had a evening off from work and he took it to Wal-mart in Elizabethton to have the oil changed. He figured it was a good idea to get it done, especially knowing how busy with work, Montana's graduation and the girls doing some dance stuff at ASU that I was going to be. He left Wal-mart that evening and headed home. There were no stops, between there and here. He made it just outside of Roan Mountain, the oil light started flashing, my car stalled out and would not start back.

    Before he even called me, he called Wal-mart, and service manager was very "snippy". He called me, and I thought he was joking, because to be honest, this car has ran at 100 percent since February when I bought it. Mechanically it has been probably the most solid car I have ever owned. Unfortunately, he was not joking. I picked him, and the following morning Chrysler sent someone to pick my car up from Roan Mountain so that they could figure out what was wrong.

    Finally, as of last Friday, they figured out that motor is locked. We have made numerous attempts to get in touch with the store manager at this particular Wal-mart. None of our phone calls get returned. This morning the service manager returned my husband's call and simply stated that they were not responsible at all. It is going to cost $5200.00 to fix my car. That is for a used Flex Fuel motor in my car, or to have my motor rebuilt. Chrysler believes it is Wal-mart's mistake and told us of other incident that they were aware of, albeit not as serious as ours. Cars that are running perfect do not simply go from perfect to having to have a rebuilt motor in less than 20 miles.

    Simply put no one, not one mechanic that we have talked to believes that this is owner error. 5 people were in my car as passengers the days before this. Wal-mart service people even started it and would be able to state the soundness of my car. They would not have changed the oil if there would have been any issues at all. I've went without my car now for over a week, having to ask my friends, family and everyone else to get me to and from work, help with getting Montana where he needs to be, and here we are with graduation and I am at everyone else's mercy. We are back to being a one car family again. I don't want to have to get an attorney involved, but under the circumstances I have no other options. I have to have a car and soon, and now I am looking at having to get a rental.

    I've known this since this last Friday, but no one can believe that Wal-Mart will not make things right. So friends and family I'm parking this post here as a warning. Robert and I don't have that kind of money. I work part time at the YMCA, Robert pays our bills, we have three kids, and I'm still in college. Please do not go to Wal-Mart for even a simple oil change. It may be the cheaper option, but as you see in mine it has costed us a lot already. Now to talk to the news outlets, and Wal-mart Corporate. If they were to make things right, I will be sure to update you guys promptly. In the mean time please just keep praying for us.

Second time I went, they were open but only 1 staff to tell me "Sorry sir, our staff decided not to come in so we don't have any staff but you can make an appointment for tomorrow 10am." so I did.

    Third time I came in, everything was okay. I gave them the keys to my car, waited 45 minutes (which is the time they told me it would take). Come back to get my car and they tell me "Sorry the person that did your oil change last time screwed the bolt in too tight and we don't have any tools to remove the bolt for the oil service... You'll have to go somewhere where they have better tools (suggests me a garage like 30 minutes away)." Little did they know, I did my last oil change at Walmart... Fail. Anyway I went to Canadian Tire literally 2 minutes away and they did it, no problems, without any special tools. Definitely will NEVER take my car to Walmart anymore.

I then asked about the tire I was interested in, and verified the price. I immediately drove to that location at 6:15 pm, while on the phone, informing them I was only minutes away. Upon arrival and parking my car, I was yelled at from a distance that they could not help me. Not only did they yell at me, but the older gentleman with a cane working in the tire center was pointing it at me and demanding I move my car, while the younger man came at me unbelievably irritated and told me that he would not take me in, that he "Just wasn't going to do it!" I explained I had just called only 10 minutes ago and was told I still had over an hour to have just 2 tires replaced, and that they would do it for me.

    I left there upset that not only does the website hours of operation lie about their operating hours, but that the phone call I had made to ensure they were still open was a lie as well and no one was willing to help me change my tires which had been punctured. I got home and called the store to speak with a manager and let them know of my horrible experience at this specific location, where I was met with the runaround and a game of cat and mouse, and finally told there was no manager in. No manager would talk to me, or call me back and then the operator transferred me to the tire department where I was met by the most disrespectful young man, James, on the phone who refused to listen to my complaint about being turned away after they had told me to come in, and instead he only argued with me. He refused to listen to a word I spoke, and talked over me the entire time.

Of course his talking over me upsets me as a customer! He was the rudest person I have ever encountered, and not only was the tire center hours advertised as an hour after they had actually closed, I was turned away by some cocky, rude young preteens, and had a cane pointed in my face by an older man with no scruples or respect for women.

The mechanic opened the 5 qt of Mobil 1 and it was already used by someone else. I was soo pissed the mechanic said I needed to buy more oil to finish the job. So it cost me another $30.00. I will never go there again. They didn't even know how to replace my air filter on my 2007 VW JETTA. BUYERS BEWARE when buying auto products because the mechanics take products off the shelves like oil and filters. Never trust them again!!!

    I visited Marion, Iowa Walmart and then did a oil change on our 93 Pontiac Grand Prix LE. 1) Put the wrong oil filter on. 2) Didn't get oil filter tight enough and 3) didn't put enough oil in. Then are very lucky I didn't blow engine up. Another thing I used to work for Walmart Marion, Iowa and they don't tighten oil filters tight. They leave them loose and the manager there Dave is the biggest screw-up. He trains all these ** idiots this way. I will never take a car or truck to Walmart for ** again. They always manage to screw something up.

    On April 29, 2016 I took my 2014 Dodge 3500 for a oil change at Walmart on Dickerson Pike in Nashville, TN. This was my first time taking my vehicle there for service. I was greeted probably when I came in, they asked what I needed and then was told that they would give me a call when my truck was ready. Once I picked my truck up my check engine light came on and my truck began to lose power. I barely made it home. Prior to this day I hadn't had any issues with my truck.

    I went back to Walmart, spoke with one of the gentleman that works in the service center who told me that no one would be able to help me until Monday. I was very unhappy with that because I really value my truck that I pay over 900.00 a month to be able to drive every day if I'd like. I shop at this Walmart at least three times a week. I WILL NEVER recommend any onto ever use Walmart service center. In the future I will not be shopping there for any of my needs.

    O yes I should have read this before purchasing tires at Walmart. Had tires done at Milford PA Walmart all 4 brand new tires on my Toyota Sequoia. Well took a ride up rt 97 in NY along the Delaware river. Was driving over Hawks Nest... a very windy road and overlook along the river. Was about a mile past there all of a sudden bang... my traction light came on. I said to myself I had better turn around and go home. Well I didn't make it. At about 55 or 60 mile per hour again bang. Out of my left eye my rear driver side tire came completely off because of not doing their job right all lug nuts were gone. Almost 1300 dollars damage to my truck. Now I'm in the middle of a mess between Walmart and Geico. DO NOT GO THRU WHAT I DID. DO NOT BUY TIRES AT WALMART.

    I got my tires replaced at the Maysville Road Wal-Mart in Fort Wayne, Indiana on the 20th of this month. They did all four tires. Today when I was driving my driver side tire began shaking. I thought I had a flat. When I stopped to check my tires were fine so I kept driving. Then my car started to shake violently. I made it to another Wal-Mart in Fort Wayne thinking my tires were not balanced correctly. They said that they will rebalance them no problem. Then upon walking around my car I noticed I was missing a lug nut so I checked the rest and they were all loose. But the best part was the lug nut bolt had been completely sheared off. Be warned. Do not get your tires done at Wal-Mart. They are terrible. The best part is that it messed up my rim and I couldn't drive my car. It had to be towed to a repair shop.

So I go out there and start questioning as to what the ** was going on with my truck and I noticed this kid with 1 of my wheels on the balance machine, and I noticed him putting the wheel weights on the outside of the wheel and tell him they don't go on the outside! So 20 min later he's finally finished with that wheel, so I go back out there and have to tell them not to forget the rear wheels. Some 45 minutes went by and some other guy comes and tells me it was almost ready. So I go back out there and begin looking to make sure there were no weights on the outside of the wheels. Upon my inspection I noticed a deep gouge on 1 wheel and multiple scratches on another wheel, so I question the kid and he wants to act dumb and start to lie! I stop him and called him out on it and he finally admitted to it and walked away then quit his job and left!

    I took my car to Walmart in Tega Cay South Carolina March 11th 2016 for an oil change. Return with my car on March 14th because my car was smoking and oil was spewing under the hood. I made a report on that day thereafter as of April 6th 2016 I was told by claims department that I have no claim and it is my burden to prove wrongdoing by their technicians. I was also informed that they are not mechanics and also that they do not have video surveillance within the entire garage (in the bottom bay area). My question is how am I to prove my claim when customers are not allowed to oversee the work being done?

    On July 15, 2015 my granddaughter took our car that she was using to the Wal-Mart store in Muskogee, OK. She had the oil and filter changed. Less than 2 months later she was driving down the highway when the engine started knocking. She stopped the car and noticed that oil was leaking from the bottom of the car. She was unable to drive the car after that as the engine had thrown a piston through the block. Shortly after that I hauled the car back to the car dealer where I had bought it and asked the owner if he could find another engine for it. I told him that there was no rush on it as we had two other cars. At the time I thought that there might be a possibility that something was not done right during the oil change but did not look into it as I was not in a position financially to replace the motor and another one would have to be found anyway.

    Just recently the owner of the car dealership found an engine and since I had received our Income tax return I told him to go ahead and fix the car. He then told his mechanic what had happened and when he had pulled the engine he found that the oil filter case had only been hand tightened. He said that the car could have probably been driven that long before it blew up. I contacted the Customer Service department at Wal-Mart and was told that my issue would be forwarded to someone. This afternoon I received a call from the Automotive Service Manager and I told him my story. The first thing he said was that they were not responsible for anything over 90 days old. I explained to him why it had taken so long and he said that their video tapes were only 30 days old and he would not be able to see what was done to the car.

    He then began to rationalize about all the circumstances as to why he would not be able to do anything. He then said he would pass it on up the chain and I would be contacted by someone. So, long story short, even if it was the mechanic's fault, if you don't tell them about it within 90 days that's just tough luck. I am waiting to hear what the higher-ups have to say. I might also mention again that the engine blew up within 2 months of having the oil changed and the car had not been taken anywhere else to have service done after it left Wal-Mart. The owner of the car dealership admitted that it was the loose oil filter cap and the loss of oil that caused the engine failure.

After the time was up, I paid my bill, went to my car, just to find out they did just what I ask them NOT TO DO!! New tires in the back, old tire that were bad still on the front and the tires I ask them not to take off, now gone.

    Went back inside very upset. Told by the clerk she was sorry and that it was her fault and she was going to take care of it.

When I asked if another person had tried it, he said, he's the manager. I was just asking for a different person to try it since there was absolutely no problem with it. I wasn't asking for a manager, it could have been just a personal issue. My car was not moved at all where I left it, and didn't have any problem putting it on gear.

The reason my car was leaning to the left was because the TIRE WAS AN INCORRECT SIZE. Wal-Mart full well knew the exact specs of my car, knew what tire I had originally and then sold me a tire that was blatantly wrong. This is a whole new level of incompetence.

    I brought my husband truck in for an oil change. I thought it was very convenient to do so while I shopped. They told me the price would be $35.88 plus a $3 additional charge for an extra qt. of oil (which is typical because he has a bigger truck). They said it would be 30 minutes. I came back in 30 minutes and the truck was ready!!! I was very happy about this. After waiting behind 3 customers that were paying for store items NOT any services performed, I was then asked for $49!!! When asked why so high, he said it was another $6 because it's an odd oil filter!!! It is a 2008 Tundra with a very basic canister oil filter! I was irritated but left it alone and paid.

    When I returned to the truck the first thing I noticed was all the greasy handprints down the side of the truck and the fact that they parked so close to another vehicle that I had to pull in the side mirror to squeeze myself into the truck without hitting it (I am 5'2" 130 lbs) so irritated once again! I get into the truck and start it and immediately noticed the "maintenance required" light was still on! I've brought this truck to several other establishments and it is a pretty basic thing for them to shut the light off after doing the "required maintenance". I had to look to the owner's manual to shut it off myself. There was no reminder sticker for the next oil change on the truck or the receipt so I also had to put that somewhere myself as well. All in all they changed the oil (which we did check if they really did)! It was $14 cheaper than where we usually go but the lack of customer service for very basic things was extremely irritating.

    Went to Walmart Oil and Lube center three weeks ago to have tires balanced and was told their balance machine was out of order. Their ETA to get fixed is "a few weeks". Today I called around 10:00 AM and was told the machine is finally back in order. Was told as long as I can get my car there before 12:00 they should be able get my tires balanced. Got there 11:00 AM and was told by the front desk clerk the technicians will need to take lunch break and will not be back at 2:00 PM. The last car they can take in is 4:00 PM.

    I double checked the business hours and it states 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. There were only 2 cars in the bays and one was almost done (oil change). Two technicians and one manager plus two girls were just walking around chit chatting. I have never seen any business where people can work so slowly and be this inefficient. How do the technicians get paid, by refusing as many customers as possible each day? I hope Gregory Penner and Doug McMillon know what's going on in Walmart Auto and Lube Center. From these numerous complaints here, I suspect it is a company wide issue.

    I went to Walmart Auto in Council Bluffs, IA recently and had them replace my front driver's side tire. Yesterday evening, my tire flew off while I was driving down the interstate. It's very apparent that they didn't mount it properly, or torque the lug nuts properly. When I called them to explain my situation and hopefully resolve it, they pretty much laughed it off and told me that they weren't going to do a single thing to help me. Due to their negligence, I could have hurt or killed myself and others. I am now without a car until I can repair the hundreds of dollars in damage, and the manager at the shop, James, just laughs it off.

    On July 27, 2015 I brought my 2002 Chevy Malibu to your service center at the Germantown, Maryland location for a simple oil change. I have had my vehicle for over two years now and being a woman I maintain the maintenance on my vehicle 100%. I visited the the service center and followed all the proper procedures as I have done many times before at Wal-mart with no problem for my oil change. But this particular time it took longer than it's ever have before. I was thinking they had forgot to service me so I called and they said "We left a message" but they had not. I left the service dept and proceeded home. Within 10 min the vehicle seem to act as if it was losing power and I notice the temp hand moving in the red. My mom and I both notice that water was leaking. Once we got home I couldn't bring the vehicle rt back. I was worried it would stop on me at that point.

    After I got home I immediately call the service center and spoke with one the associate. They then directed me to the Asst Mgr by the name of Rose. She told me to bring the vehicle back. I brought the vehicle back on July 30, 2015 (per I had to wait and find someone to follow me. I was afraid it would stop). I spoke with Rose again she had the same tech check my vehicle that had preformed the oil change, which I felt wasn't the best idea. He looked at my vehicle then came and told that the vehicle had a previous oil leak and that it was noted on the bill/receipt. I then explain to the tech that my vehicle was preforming fine when I brought it in and that my previous oil change at a different Wal-mart did not reflect any oil leak. Then the Asst Rose came back looked over the vehicle and said she did not see anything wrong. As soon as she went back in the building the vehicle started to overheated, running unusual.

    I overheard the two service tech's saying that they thought it was something else. So I left and return on the Aug 2, 2015 without the vehicle and spoke with a different Mgr name Jennifer who was going to proceed with a claim but decided not to overstep her boundaries because of Rose. So she instructed me to come back the next day Aug 3rd when Rose would be available. Before I came I call the 1800 customer service line. They told me speak with a salary Mgr when I go back up to Wal-mart and let them know that I wanted to fill a claim. The Mgr I then spoke with was Robert he said he would have Rose proceed with the claim.

    At this point I waited and waited. About 3 weeks I finally received a call, give me a claim number then told me to send them a estimate. I emailed the estimate and have heard anything for about 10 days. The claims guy name was James **. I proceeded to call nonstop in between this time. Then Mr. ** told me he could not handle this claim. He said that someone else would call but that never happen so I called Mr. ** back until I got him. He said he would put the claim on the proper person desk and her name was Melva **. She called and left a message and instructed me to forward her all the documentation, this on 09/03/15 then never received a response.

    So at this point I call to inquire about someone above Mrs. ** on 09/11/15 and was given to a Mr. Matt **. No answer. I left message. Then Mrs. ** call me back to inform me of whom I needed to talk to speak with. I continuously call Mr. **, left message and he finally return my call only to inform me that he was not going to reimburse me nor fix my vehicle. Reason being their service center do not do anything dealing with water leaking and instanced that I waited and brought the car back week later, which I did not and explained that I need someone to follow me back because I was afraid it would stop.

    He totally would not listen to my explanation. He got very defensive and aggressive with me. Now I would like bring to your attention that during this whole ordeal that I am pregnant with my first child and that my pregnancy was going good and healthy until the stress and worrying over me being without a vehicle and expecting to be a mom, and for this Mr. ** guy to conduct himself so unprofessionally I ended up in the hospital. I was told the stress and getting upset along with worrying about that Wal-mart situation is putting me and my baby at great risk. I ask if someone will contact me and discuss this issue professionally. I want my vehicle just as it was when I brought it to your Wal-mart location. Thank you for your time & respectfully for your corporation.

After I paid, I found my car in the lot, with the window down during light rain and the driver side door handle was broken, completely unusable... I wasn't mad it was broken, there's a factory defect with the handles I've been dragging my feet to replace but they didn't even mention it to me...

    I purchased Goodyear tires from Wal-mart nearly three years ago. The tires had a 60,000 mile warranty, and were priced lower than competitors. My car was aligned, and I had a bad shake in the front, and the local tire dealer/alignment shop said it was a faulty tire. I returned to Wal-mart, and I was given the old tire salesman line, "We don't make square tires anymore." This comment was meant to exaggerate, and thereby dismiss my concern as ridiculous. However, I was not claiming that the tire was square, but that it had a manufacturer's defect. Obviously, tire manufacturers do make defective tires, because Wal-mart relented, admitted that they couldn't balance the tire, and gave me a new tire. At that point, I began to suspect that name brand tire manufacturers may be selling their less than perfect tires to Wal-mart so that they can save us money to help us live better.

    Now, nearly 3 years and almost 30,000 miles later, the tires are shot, and they obviously have some sort of defect because one tire is bulging, and the cords are showing with about 1/16" or more tread left on the tire. How that's possible, I don't know. So, I returned to Walmart and spoke to the service manager. He searched both my warranty and Walmart's new warranty, for something that states that the warranty is void if the tires are not rotated every 6000 miles. He could find nothing, and then admitted, "Our Goodyear training states that they recommend you rotate your tires every 6 to 9000 miles." "I understand completely. Thank you."

    Have had 2 separate issues with this location. They took 8 hours to do a tire change. They refused to call my phone if there was a problem. I stayed in the waiting room the entire time and they never bothered to tell me they were out of stock and would need approval for a different tire. After this happening 3 times I asked for a manager and stood at the desk the entire time until they finished. They "compensated" me with a free oil change.

    So I decided to cash in my "free" oil change. They took 3 hours to do this with almost no cars in line. Then they disconnected my throttle body and air filter. Spilled oil all over my engine. Because they disconnected the throttle, the vehicle would not start. I caught them trying to start my vehicle and almost burned out my starter. So I ran into the garage and yelled at them to stop. I reconnected the throttle and told him put the air filter back in. I drove the car out of the garage as smoke came off the engine on the way home. My vehicle was brand new at the time. I am thinking that this location has probably destroyed many vehicles that worked previously before going to Walmart. If you wish your vehicle to run, do not ever take it to this Walmart. I have taken to a different location and had no issues. The other location even remarked how the previous location was terrible.

    I took my car to Wal-Mart for a simple oil change. They emptied out wrong fluids and over filled it up with the other fluids. At first, they owned up to their mistakes and even admitted that they had no idea how to fix it. After speaking to a couple of different managers, I was finally told to take it to my mechanic and that they would pay for all repairs, no matter the damage or outcome, and also reimburse me for cabs to and from work. I made sure to get this in writing. So I had my car towed to the Mazda dealership.

    Today a different manager called me and said that I should've never been told that because even though I have it in writing, "things just don't work like that". So now, I'm going to have to find a way to pay for my car repairs, not to mention, I've lost wages, etc. If I had money to do that in the first place, I would've never taken it to Wal-Mart for an oil change to begin with to try to save a few bucks. Before I let them touch it, I had a perfectly good, mint condition 2013 Mazda 3, that I have even won awards for at car shows. Wal-Mart has made it undrivable.

    This is completely and utterly the worst customer service I have ever experienced. It goes beyond that actually. You can't just ruin someone's car and not take responsibility. This needs to be brought to the public's attention. I've since read other reviews on Wal-Mart's automotive service and this type thing happens often, regardless of location. Should I have read the reviews before I took my car there? Perhaps, but what's done is done. I have learned from my mistake to never let them touch as much as a wiper blade, but now they have to own up to it, like they originally were. I have contacted the media and a lawyer regarding this issue. I have plenty of photos, even one of what I got in writing telling me that they would take full responsibility, but for some reason, it's not letting me upload anything.

There were others waiting to have oil changes, but it was RARE to have anyone manning the cash register where people ask for service. I think my time is more important and will gladly pay $10 more to actually get better service.

    This means I won't get to shop in Wal-Mart while I wait many hours. I'll save money by going somewhere else. The door to the car servicing area was broken with a dangling metal piece that keeps the door from staying open. Can't a place like Wal-Mart afford to do building maintenance? I asked the man at the cash register why the other 2 guys watched while the trainee did ALL the work. He started to tell me something but I interrupted stating, "I saw the men watching Nick do all the work." He then was quiet and so was I. I came around 4:30 and left close to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.

    I went to my local Wal-Mart with a tire issue on all four tires. I was headed for a road trip and didn't need a problem. Manager stated it was my vehicle and not the tire. OK maybe but this car has a perfect maintenance record with receipts. So to be safe I special ordered a set of Uniroyals Laredo Tour OEM for this vehicle now made by Michelin Tire Co. After the tires were put on and the bill was ready, I notice there wasn't any road hazard as requested. I asked the department manager. She stated that there was something mechanically wrong with my car, and she would not sell me road hazard. HELLO, now the only condition to add road hazard was to put a disclaimer which was never revealed till I left and read my bill. Now for the rest of the story. After a few hundred miles car started shaking and continued.

    Stopped halfway through my trip. I stopped Wal-Mart to have this investigated. Tires were rebalance and technician noted rims were bent (I have Alloy Rims, very unlikely). I continued on my trip. When I arrived I took the car to a mechanic and did not find a problem with the rims. I had to drive back another 1,200 miles on vibrating tires. Now I'm at a local GM dealer to verify the problem with the tires. I spent 135.00 to road force and check balance. One Tire severely out of round and one other close to out of round. The balance was off as well according to their machine. Went to a different Wal-Mart in Liberty MO and they agreed on the left rear tire replacement. OK not done yet. Shortly after and still could not get the vibration out the front right tire was replace. Now I am thinking finally but sadly no.

    Now back to the mechanic to find that one of the replace tires was severely warped and the tread had a roll to it as well. Now to go back to my local Excelsior Springs Store because this is a very visible problem. After their investigation they concluded there was a dimple in the front the alloy rim on that particular rim with the tire. Next day I returned with another rim for the tire that the manager stated was causing the problem. Here's the kicker. I had request to verify that the tire was running straight before returning it to the car. I stood behind the fence across from the balancing machine. I could visibly see the tire still rolled severely as it spun on the balance machine. I brought this to the manager’s attention. Her answer was yes she could see the movement and stated that it will vibrate but she would not warranty it out because I already had enough tires changed out and again my car was the problem.

    I again tried to discuss the implication that this is not right. All the while she was I guess, getting angry I believe, wanting to be right. She delivered her final message at the top of her voice in front of the whole bay staff that my car was the problem and she had fifteen years at Wal-Mart. Conclusion. Now I had call Michelin to find a solution to this problem. They sent me to an authorized dealer for examination. Findings as followed: Driver Rear left tire severely warped as well as Passenger right front. Others not as bad, also out of balance by their machine. OK I guess my car isn't CRAP.

    The store representative contacted Michelin Tire with the findings. Michelin decided that all the tires warranted replacement and I was awarded a full refund from Michelin (not by Wal-Mart) for a new set of tires. I had to pay new mounting and balance fees and will go after Wal-Mart and ask for an apology from their Service Manager. It is obvious that Wal-Mart does little or nothing to educate the staff in the automotive department especially on tire manufacturing problems. Oh they can also take some lessons in customer communication skill.

    If you have high performance car - don't ever change oil in Walmart! (I have no choice to stop by in Walmart, near Kansas city). It took us one hour. Great! After half of mile driving, I noticed a smoke coming behind my car. Stop. Found they did not close properly oil lid on engine, and oil start spill onto exhaust pipe. I understand: maybe its too complicated to mechanic in Walmart to close oil lid in Mercedes. Behind me stopped another car, asked if I need any help. (Thanks, nice couple in p/u black car, with handicap decal.) When I told them that I changed oil in Walmart they said me that is usual what should I expect. Ok. Together with oil change, I asked Walmart to rotate a tires.

    After smoke situation I decided to check tire nuts. That was excellent idea. I tided up few of them. After couple of thousand km, I noticed my oil becoming kind of brown. My car should run 9000 miles between oil change. After I came back to Vancouver, BC, after 7000 km, oil was BLACK. I change it at home by myself + flash engine. And last thing: Walmart put me wrong oil filter. Hopefully German guys made excellent engine and it passed Walmart service.

    VW Passat got 3 new tires, two rear and front passenger side. About 2 weeks later front cv axle disconnected from transmission. Found out the screws were gone. This was on the front driver's side wheel. They should not have been working on. Lost two days work and pulled muscle pushing my car up my driveway. Had to buy screws and tools to reattach joint. Someone later told me that crazy stuff like this happens to people after they take their cars to Wal-Mart.

    They told me that they couldn't rotate my tires because it was too dangerous. I had tires put on at the same place only two years ago and only driven about 40,000 miles on them. Then they put on cheap General Grabber tires (what brand is that?). I had on Bridgestone. They over charged me $105.12. They charged for tires that were not put on, $164, but put on the dirt cheap $116. The department is poorly run. No cars in the bay, four workers walking inside complaining that they did not get a break at the right time. This was at the Bentonville Super center.

    Went in with BMW 525xi for oil change and tire rotation. Came back 3 hours later, no oil change or rotation. Get this they said because the car did not have a dipstick they could not change the oil. Lines were long. Only one guy there. He was telling people to give him a minute. One guy waited over an hour for tires only to be told they did not have them in stock. Go there and you will be frustrated beyond belief. The Parkesburg store is just awful.

    I went to Walmart in South County off of Telegraph on June 07, 2015. I wanted to purchase 2 Goodyear tires for my Chevy Tahoe. I was told they had 4 tires. Checked my car in, left and did some shopping for about an hour and a half, went back to check on my car. The mechanic told me that he was just getting ready to page me. They didn't have the tires and had already disposed of my others tires and that he could give me 2 of the same size but different brand. I tried calling my husband he didn't answer, so I told the guy to give them to me since I basically had no choice. Had to wait another 30 minutes.

    Then when trying to pay it took 45 minutes just to get checked out. Went out to my car and they have out the tires on wrong one side, had the black showing which is what I ask for the other side was white letters. I felt so taken advantage of I went home. My husband went up there the next day, was treated very poorly and was told there was nothing they could do. So as a lengthy conversation with the store manager they did flip the tire so that the black side I'd facing out. WE WILL NEVER AGAIN GO BACK.

    Had a tire that failed. It had a large bubble on side of tire that was taking the tire off the rim. While deciding on tires, I asked son to look at the rear tires as well. The tread he could see was 75%. They only changed the front 2 tires. An hour later, we were on our way. In less than 45 miles, a back tire failed just as we went through a intersection that involved multiple major highways combining and breaking off in downtown Nashville, Tenn. We were headed to Indy after leaving and the Walmart employees were aware of this. I managed to get over on the highway but could not spot the issue. Got off the next exit and wonderful church people helped us realize the tire had started separating and a part of the tire was hanging and beating the car. They cut it off for us and we slowly drove back to the Walmart we just left.

    I agree, the front tires they took off were far worse then we knew. They also said the back tires which looked good from the outside were shot and had to be replaced due to an alignment issue. My issue with Walmart is they claimed they never looked at the back tires but out on the receipt balance, back tires complete and accepted. The receipt also showed air pressure checked on the front and back tires. In closer inspection of the receipt, they claim we declined new stems which we told them to change them. We were not looking to spend this money but we wanted to get home safely. They were aware we were willing to pay for 4 tires because we wanted to get home safely. Instead, we were given a false sense of security when we left the first time. They stated, you're all set. I was driving 70 mph on a busy highway through a tricky exchange. They're saying they never looked at the back tires is unacceptable.

    When I saw the front tires on the return visit, I was shocked but not one word had been said to us about the condition of those tires. Since those tires were in bad condition, they should have looked for problems with the back tires as simple common sense. The front tires had about 50% tread you could see. They had the car up on the lift. We were not allowed to inspect for ourselves while it was up. It is not allowed for customers to be in the bay due to safety but they will ignore a safety issue when they see it? My issue with Walmart is this. They want to claim to be a family store and someone you can trust and a name you know, then provide the service you claim. We went there first because it was early on a Sunday and it is a national chain. I personally will never trust Walmart Auto Service again.

    If you know families are heading out on vacation, send them out safely. Don't ignore obvious safety issues. I am not a mechanic and after seeing the front tires, I would have asked to have the rear tires closely be inspected if I had been informed. You don't expect to tell a baker to put chocolate in a chocolate cake, you don't expect to tell a delivery person to take the product they deliver in, off the street, you consider that part of delivery. So why should I have to ask a person changing a tire to do it with their eyes open? If oil had been dripping, I would have expected to be told. Simple common sense is all I expected. We left early so traffic would be lighter and to beat potential severe weather that was headed to our destination. We planned two stops in Louisville but were only able to do the one because of the extra 3 hour delay due to returning.

    We had gasoline expense due to driving back and ending up in the slow go traffic we attempted to avoid by leaving early. All I can say is I hope the Meijer opens soon very near our home because for now, I will drive as far as needed to avoid Walmart for long time to come. It will cost them thousands of dollars. Is proper training worth losing sales over? I wonder if the person that changed my tires would have sent his older parents or grandparents out in that car knowing they had a several hundred mile drive ahead of them, miles away from any help if they broke down. FYI, the 4 tires they ended up changing are at my house for inspection if you care to see why I'm upset.

    I took my vehicle in to have new tires put on them about a month ago and before I went in, I noticed my son and daughter both had their 3ds on top of the console so I decided to put them in it instead. When I came out I was in a hurry to pick my kids up from school but noticed one of the 3ds were missing. I know for a fact both of them were in there when I went in because I specifically put them in the console to be out of sight. I hate to accuse anybody of being a thief but it's pretty obvious someone from the Bluefield Walmart stole my child's 3ds and when I called to complain, the manager claims that he will view the video footage to see if he notices anything suspicious. Mind you, they had my ride for over 3 hours. He calls me back in about 15 minutes and says he sees nothing that would support my claim. That he could tell where his hands were the whole time.

    I find that very hard to believe that he could see straight through my windows and see where his hands were the entire time.. Especially, considering I was in there for 3 or more hours and he only took 15 minutes to call me back. It had to have taken him a while to even find the video. But needless to say, nothing was done about it.. Not to mention, they stripped the bolts out on my tires and now I have to have those replaced in order to have a new set of tires put on the front. That is well over a hundred dollars right there.

    I will NEVER do business with them again and I'm seriously thinking of filing a report to the police and have them view the video themselves. The saddest part about this is that was my daughter's Christmas present that she had begged us for the past few years. It just upsets me that anyone would steal from a child. I just think something should be done about this. I've heard other people's complains but nobody ever reports them.

    For the last four years I have been taking my vehicles to Wal-Mart for oil changes in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and each time the employees dented both fenders by leaning on my car plus leaving oily hand print every where. I'm sick of this shade tree quality and won't ever let Wal-Mart change my oil ever again and will let any and everybody else know what experience I had there. My wife's truck developed a check engine code after changing the oil plus one time the employees broke her dip stick off and never accepted responsibility only to tell me that they couldn't touch it until I took it somewhere else to repair it then bring it back for oil changes...but like I said Wal-Mart will never earn my businesses again. Thanks for messing up my vehicles.
