      Stopped to get a car wash and was sold on a 1 month package by the car wash attendant. Was told a one time purchase would give me washes for the rest of the month. There was no discussion of monthly or ongoing charges. Found out today from ********** that I have been charged twice. Need to recover funds and find punitive measures for the business and their activities.

      Cobblestone Auto Spa signed me up and charged me for a monthly type of membership. When I used their regular service, the attendant tried to tell me about the monthly subscription and I told him was not interested and only paid for the normal service at that time. Now, they are charging me $21.00 (credit card on 3/3) for a monthly subscription that I did not authorize. The issue is that when you go to the location to inquire about the subscription and charge they cannot help you and provide a business card with a plan number to cancel online. Keep in mind I never authorized so should not have to cancel anything. After going online, the website cannot find my information and you can submit the information through a link. Nothing happens from that point forward. I call their customer service number and had to leave a message - no call back either. I want the subscription that I never authorized cancelled and the $21.00 that was charged to my credit card refunded promptly.

      I came into one of your locations for an oil change, on my way home my engine failed because the wrong oil filter was put in admittedly by cobblestone. They then agreed to have my vehicle towed to Greulich's mechanic. But as of now girl looks is saying they don't have my vehicle and they don't know where it is as cobblestone also says this. So I have a missing vehicle that I'm not even allowed to report as stolen because it's been past the time of reporting. Even though I had no idea it was even stolen until I called and asked about my vehicle. So I need some information as soon as possible as I was ripped off by cobblestone and now I have a missing vehicle that I can't report. Somebody is paying for me a vehicle

      Complaint: 22969069

      I am rejecting this response because,

      I had to either reject it or accept it. The company asked me to provide the location where the damage happened, and they would look into it.  However, I did not see an option to submit that information, or a place to respond. I will call Better Business Bureau tomorrow to follow up. But as of now it is not resolved.

      Sincerely,

      ****** ******

      oint in time, they informed me that I was disrupting their operations and affecting their business. Not knowing what else I could do I left to look into my options. The quote I later received for a replacement cover is over $1,000. I feel an honest reputable business should pay for the seat replacement.

      Complaint: 22969069

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The company came back yet again with fluff. They claimed that they contacted me to inquire what the specific location of their chain offered to repair the seat. This was dishonest and false. There has been zero communication via any media. 

      As a hairstylist in *******, I have  several clients in the automotive industry in various speciallties. Every single one of them speak of how unorganized and sloppy Cobblestones corporate offices are in their operations. Which has obviously trickled down into the operations of their chains in all positions and aspects.  Im not surprised that I was blown off and lied to by corporate, just as I was by one of their locations. By all the staff, and most disappointedly, by the one staff member who I had built a relationship with over the decade I frequented their business. Who obviously over a decade now manages multiple locations, and just happened to be there that day.

      Complaint: 22946650

      I am rejecting this response because: Hello,

      The business asked where this occurred, which was in ******, *******, on Baseline Road. 

      Sincerely,

      ******* ******ontacted the next day via email, voice message, and many times after with no reply. I stayed for one hour trying to scrub the soap out and gave up as it was dark by then. I came to find out that the company was having issues for 2 weeks about updating credit cards. Hence, the company deactivated my account, which had a promotion for a couple of dollars cheaper than the original amount. Upon contacting customer service and explaining my situation, including what happened on Baseline Road and the cancellation of my account, this was "escalated." In the meantime, I frequented my normal location, where the manager attempted to assist me but had no luck with corporate letting me through despite not having an active account. I made additional phone calls and finally spoke with *******, who approved my promotion and told me to go to any location, and they could update my CC; however, when I did this, I was informed they don't have authority to do this. I am requesting contact from management.

      This company has been fraudulently charging my credit card a monthly fee for over two years with the most current charge on January 15, 2025. While I have visited this carwash a few times a year, I never signed up for a monthly service. This company puts on a hard sell when you go to the carwash. My answer has always remained the same "I'm not interested - I only wash my car a few times a year". I have tried phoning Cobblestone Spa at many different phone numbers affiliated with this company, as well as their parent company ******** and even left a personal voicemail with **** ******, Strategic Manager. I have also attempted to resolve this via email through their website, as well as texting them on the number ************. I received a message from this text this would be escalated to their management team, however, no one has contacted me - despite several requests. Please help to hold this company accountable to refunding me $432.00 and to discontinue the auto withdrawal from my credit card.
