  I scheduled a car repair for Monday, June 3, 2024, at 11 a.m. The mechanic was running late and would not arrive until after 12:30 p.m., so I had to take my children to the dentist at 1 p.m. *********** was advertised to take 1 1/2 hours. We rescheduled for 4:30 pm that same day, and the mechanic could not meet that commitment either.I tried to reschedule, but the earliest was four days later. As I needed the car, I could not wait. I was told that I would be charged a $25 fee to reschedule even though the mechanic was not able to attend both appointments. I paid upfront and want to request a refund of my money as I will need to pay another mechanic to service my car. My car overheated, and I could not wait. I don't understand why I am being penalized when the mechanic cannot meet his commitment. The company should not book appointments too close to each other as mechanics appear to round late.***

  ******************************************* d/b/a YourMechanic (Wrench) has reviewed *************** complaint. Wrench was scheduled to inspect *************** vehicle for an overheating issue on June 3, 2024. The technician scheduled for the appointment was not able to arrive on time. The technician reached out to ********************* to update them and to provide a new ETA. However, ********************* asked to reschedule the appointment to 4:30 PM and the technician agreed.
  
  Later in the day, ********************* contacted the technician asking to reschedule their appointment to another day.

  The following day, June 4, 2024, ********************* contacted the technician again for assistance with rescheduling their appointment. The technician agreed to help reschedule their appointment and to not charge a reschedule fee, but a new appointment time was not agreed upon. 
  
  Since ********************* did not agree on a new appointment time, Wrench canceled the appointment.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********. I agree with the details except that on the original day of the appointment, I rescheduled the appointment to 4:30 PM and the technician agreed. I did not think I would arrive home on time for the 4:30 appointment because my car over heated while i returned from the dentist appointment and I had to get off the road to cool off the car.  I ended up arriving home on time and I sent the mechanic a text indicating I was home for the 4:30pm appointment. The mechanic sent a message indicating he was not going to make it. 
  
  Other than that, I find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

  On March 30, 2024, Technician ************************* showed up to my appointment hours late with no indication of arrival time. Once he arrived he had another male with him to complete the job. While watching him complete the work, he and the other gentleman were sitting on my tires while adjusting the brakes. I was charged $614 when the original price that I was locked into was $554 for poor quality. Before March 30th, the appointment was booked but again the Technician did not show or indicate that they werent going to show. I had to call yourmechanic to do so and with them, we rescheduled for March 30th. A week after I received new brakes and rotors, they began to squeal, vibrate, and squeak. I contacted your mechanic on Monday to schedule a follow-up appointment to check on the repair. The repair was supposed to be on May 8, 2024, at noon. I took off work to be home for the repair. At 8 am I received yet another notification stating that the technician would not be able to make it and that I would need to reschedule again. I requested a full refund, so I can take my car to a repair shop to fix what your mechanic has messed up.Invoice #******* Appointment #******* Your mechanic reached out to me and asked me to take it to get diagnosed at any auto shop. I told them no because I would have to pay. After several failed attempts to get yourmechanic to send someone out to diagnose the problem, Mechanic ******* came today, May 30, 2024, and found that the installation of the parts was initially incorrectly installed; Appointment number *******. I contacted yourmechanic immediately after the diagnosis was completed, I contacted yourmechanic to schedule an appointment to fix the problem possibly. I was given a quote that stated that I must pay $596.02; Quote number *******. Since I received this quote, I have not received any more information from a manager. My car has now become too dangerous even to drive. Today, I was charged $160 for the diagnosis.

  ******************************************* d/b/a YourMechanic (Wrench) has reviewed ************************ complaint. ******************************* scheduled Wrench to replace the front brake pads and rotors on their vehicle. Wrench arrived on March 30, 2024 and completed the service. No inspection was requested or performed on the vehicle prior to the repair. 
  
  In May 2024, ******************************* informed Wrench that their front brakes were squeaking. Wrench offered a pre-warranty inspection to verify the issue. Due to a personal emergency, the mechanic that was scheduled needed to reschedule the appointment. ******************************* did not originally agree to reschedule the appointment and claimed they would take their vehicle to a shop. Wrench provided permission to ******************************* to perform a diagnostic, but no repairs at another shop. Wrench would need to review a copy of the service report before approving repairs. ******************************* declined to move forward with this option. ******************************* agreed to reschedule the appointment. Wrench arrived on May 30, 2024 with a different technician to perform the inspection. During the inspection, Wrench confirmed that the noise was caused by grooves in the brake rotors. Wrench recommended replacing the rotors and brake pads to repair the issue. ******************************* was charged for this appointment.
  
  Wrench provides a ****** mile and/or 12-month warranty on parts and labor. The warranty can be viewed at: *******************************************.

  Complaint: 21781743
  
  I am rejecting this response because it is an egregious downplay & misinterpretation of the situation that points fault at the consumer. It also implies cooperation on their end when there werent any at all.
  

  May 21 was the day the initial repair was completed. Wrench left out the part how the initial repair was rescheduled due to the parts not being available and I was not informed until a few hours after the appointment. I had to call to question why the technician hasnt arrived and then at that time was told I must reschedule. When rescheduled, the new technician showed up to the job hours late after I contacted him asking about his whereabouts. He then informed me he was near over 3 hours after the appointment time. 2 weeks after I began contacted Wrench about the squeaking and squealing. They initially scheduled for someone to come diagnose the problem. I stayed home from work to get the diagnostic, but again the appointment was canceled by the technician. At that point was when I refused to reschedule with Wrench because I was told that I would have to pay for the diagnostic fee on a job that was done incorrectly by Wrench and Then I also asked to speak to a supervisor. After many back and forth calls we could not come to an agreement because Wrench wasnt understanding that whatever was done during the repair had been caused by their technician. I refused to take my car to another auto shop because I would have to pay for a diagnostic and I would have to take off of work to do so. None of that made sense when the reason why I used Wrench was because of the convenience that they claim to provide. When we finally agreed on a Wrench technician to come out and perform a diagnostic, I wasnt aware that I would be paying an additional $160 until after the 10 minute inspection was completed. During the inspection the technician stated that the install was done incorrectly and had been the reason for damages. He tried to called Wrench while standing there for about 10 minutes, they didnt answer. No one contacted me for the remainder of the day, I called to speak to manager and they told me, one will call back 48 hours. When receiving a call on the morning of June 2, the Wrench supervisor stated that she hadnt received the diagnostic report yet, which was definitely hard to believe because I could see the report immediately after the work was done.  I was then offered by multiple agents to reschedule the installation but it would have to be full price again, another $600 plus because of the damage to the parts that was not my fault. I had heard enough at this point and took my car to a certified auto shop for diagnostic and repair.
  

  After a free diagnostic, the company found that the brake pads were a cheap brand that scratched the rotors severely. They questioned if the Wrench mechanic had even applied the proper brakes initially because the quality of the brakes and rotors were significantly different. The copy replaced and fixed the problem for $700. So Wrench do not downplay the inconvenience your company caused when all you had to do was fixed the problem that your company created. Instead you all made it worse which required me to park my car for several days because driving it made my car worst. I do not want any work to ever be done by this company any more, I just want a full refund of the initial repair and to let others know that their customer service is horrible and their service in general. There is a significant disconnect between speaking English and understanding it. Most of the time when I spoke to any customer service representative from ********************** they would pretend to listen to respond without truly acknowledging what I had stated. Wrench mobile service is truly not worth it patience you try to provide to them. 

  
  Sincerely,

  I researched a mobile mechanic versed on our make. Prior to repairs on my wife's vehicle I was constantly in contact with ******, a customer **** ****** a ********************, both employees at Your Mechanic/Your Wrench. Initially there was clear and concise communication ****** test drove w/my wife and we were advised on what was seen, suggested repairs, costs, and repair duration. I then set up the repair date through Caesar. Upon completion, 05-06-2024, **** called me and explained that the previous issues were no longer there, he stated the car was fine overall, drove better, did an oil change, and no check engine lights. We spoke on the phone over a hour with ways to ensure she receives the best performance from her car and safety as they both (******/****) were aware that I'm disabled. Four hours later my wife came home & asked if the car was fixed. I stated yes, I told her he stated none of the issues were present. She was elated & left only to return 7 minutes later. Stating it was 100% worse than when she initially rode with him. She was fearful that the car would die. I called the company the same day, & everyday after completely unable to locate, speak, or find the two gentlemen that were happily calling me, texting me, & emailing me to obtain my money. Nor did I ever speak with a manager after multiple escalations. On the service date he stated the car was repaired so I find it improbable that with 4 hours of sitting, it was now 100% worse. The company never came to verify the work nor contact me. The car had to be re diagnosed by another company after no ************** found errors that did cause more damage by Your Wrench/Your Mechanic. Even the simple task of an oil change was done wrong by flooding it. I explained to ******/**** before repairs that I am disabled and this car is used to transport me to medical appointments. Now we are incurring rental fees because damage, not repairs, was done by your company and refuse to even contact me back about anything.

  Complaint: 21738196
  
  I am rejecting this response because I contacted the business every day to schedule a mechanic to come out and determine why the vehicle was worse. I did this every day for a week with multiple calls a day for supervisors/managers contact that never occurred. The company was emailed and I never received a response. After 7 days of no follow up or contact from Your Mechanic the car had to be towed to a car shop for the repair. They verified the job was done incorrectly and also had to drain the over pour of the oil change committed by Your mechanic. This repair subsequently came out to $449 not including all of the days we had to rent a car because we were waiting and trying to give YourMechanic an opportunity to call me, email me, send a bird in relation to my complaint. They were given every opportunity to check the car and verify if there was any error. Since they did not we had an additional expenditure of $500 for car rentals on top of the repair costs that were paid to YourMechanic. There was no dispute on policy, there was dispute on the job and damage made to my car that YourMechanic's supervisors never addressed. I see many of these same complaints and issues post service. Fraudsters.

  I originally paid $334.36 to yourmechanic.com for mechanical services on my vehicle. I ended up having to cancel a couple days before due to a hospitalization. They gave me a credit for the amount I paid and I subsequently ended up re-scheduling service on October 20, 2022. The mechanic only completed part of the job so I was charged $179.94 leaving a $154.42 credit. Come to find out, the money I paid expired approximately 3 months later on January 31, 2023. They refuse to refund or let me use the credit and I was completely unaware it would expire since it was money I already paid. There should not have been an expiration date, that's theft. Services were not rendered and it shows as such on my account page. Medical issues have kept me in and out of the hospital over the past couple of years and my vehicle hasn't needed service since it wasn't being driven, therefore, I did not find out until recently the credit expired. They never sent any kind of notification, email or phone call to let me know this would happen.

  On 07/14/2023 I had my serpentine belt for my 2014 ****** Corolla replaced by Mechanic *****. On 05/08/2024 I took my car into Meineke for an oil change, during their inspection they reported the serpentine belt was split in two. I immediately contacted Your Mechanic to let them know since it had been less than a year and we were within warranty guidelines 12 months or 12,000miles whichever comes first. The car had only been driven under ***** miles during the time period. Upon calling them they set up an appointment for an inspection on 05/16/2024. They advised the same mechanic that originally did the replacement would be doing the inspection, I did question as I did feel it would be a bit biased to have the same person who installed originally to be doing the warranty inspection. They advised he would be the only one available. On 05/16/2024 ***** arrived and did the inspection he did advise there was a small rock wedged under the belt which caused it split. He advised he would send the information to the warranty department for review but he sees no reason for the claim to be denied since the rock is something out of our control and we would not have been aware of when or how it got there. Today, 05/18/2024 we received a call from ******* with the warranty department to advise us our claim was denied due to external cause. Their warranty clause is a scam and is unfortunate for the customer, we are now at fault for something we had no control over or knowing there was a rock there. How did a rock get there and go unnoticed for 10months? ******* was completely unprofessional argumentative and condescending. The mechanic should have not replaced the part without the warranty approval. They also never sent us the mechanics findings which they referenced for denial of the warranty.

  Hello,
  
  YourMechanic has reviewed ******************* complaint. *********************** scheduled YourMechanic to replace the serpentine belt on their vehicle. YourMechanic arrived on July 14, 2023 and completed the service. No inspection was scheduled prior to the appointment. 
  
  YourMechanic was informed that the serpentine belt was splitting in two by *********************** in May of 2024. *********************** scheduled a pre-warranty inspection with YourMechanic to diagnose the issue. Because the serpentine belt was damaged, YourMechanic included a serpentine belt with the appointment. YourMechanic arrived on May 16, 2024 and performed the inspection and replaced the serpentine belt. YourMechanic found the issue was caused by a pebble stuck in the grooves of the crankshaft pulley. After removing the pebble and replacing the serpentine belt, the technician confirmed the issue was resolved. 
  
  YourMechanic provides a ****** mile and/or 12month limited warranty. The warranty terms can be found at *******************************************. Because the issue was not caused by the parts YourMechanic installed, *********************** was charged for the appointment. 
  
  As a courtesy, YourMechanic has provided *********************** a $25 credit to use on a future service. If *********************** has any questions about how to use the credit, they can contact YourMechanic at ******************************************.
  
  Thank you,
  YourMechanic

  On April 22, 2024 I submitted a warranty claim against a vehicle service from April 10. On April 26, 2024 YourMechanic approved my claim because the mechanic that performed the service had not tightened 3 bolts on my engine when putting it back together. After multiple calls to yourmechanic I was finally able to get an appointment May 6, 2024 to repair my car. This appointment was canceled by the mechanic on the morning of May 6, because Yourmechanic had not even ordered the parts to fix my car. I was able to get another appointment for May 14, 2024, and again the same thing happened after assuring me that they would have the parts this time when I talked to the warranty department on May 9th. At this point I have been without my vehicle for 3 weeks and I would just like them to fix it, or to refund the original service fee so that I can hire someone else to fix the car.

  Hello, 
  
  YourMechanic has reviewed ***************** complaint. YourMechanic was scheduled for a pre-warranty inspection of the front brakes. YourMechanic originally replaced the front brake pads and rotors on ***************** vehicle on June 7, 2023. YourMechanic returned on May 8, 2024 and completed a pre-warranty inspection on their vehicle because the front brakes were making a screeching sound. During the inspection, the technician was not able to reproduce the same issue. When test driving the vehicle, the technician did not notice any noises coming from the brakes. 
  
  A copy of YourMechanics warranty can be found at *************************************************;
  Per the terms of YourMechanics limited warranty, YourMechanic charged *********************** for the inspection since there were no issues found with the front brakes. YourMechanic is declining to provide a refund since the inspection was completed and the inspection report was provided to ***********************. 
  
  YourMechanic considers *********************** a valued customer. As a courtesy, ********************** is providing *********************** a credit of $75 which can be used towards a future appointment. If they have any questions on how to use the credit, they can contact YourMechanic at ******************************************.
  
  Thank you,
  YourMechanic
