[Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolutionPlease respond here ONLY]I already contacted the original store and they replaced a few brake pads which didn't fix the problem and they were extremely rude about the situation and tried to make me feel like I didn't know about my car, which, even if I didn't know anything about cars, is extremely unprofessional to talk to any customer that wayThen I went to a different location to see if they'd be more help, but they seemed to know less about cars than the first store and they told me nothing was wrong, there is no sound coming from my brakes, and I should have bought a HondaBoth stores are extremely unhelpful, extremely unprofessional, and seem to be extremely unqualifiedI would not like for any brakeway location to do any work on my car ever againI would like them to pay for a real mechanic to fix the problem that they said they could fix.

Office # ###-###-####

We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused Mr. [redacted]. After looking into this matter what I have come up with is that Mr. [redacted] came into our facility and had us install his brake pads that he supplied himself. We installed his brake pads on all four of his wheels for $120. At...

the time we installed his parts Mr. [redacted] requested that we do not turn (resurface) his rotors so per customer request we did not. Mr [redacted] came back to our facility yesterday and requested that he would like his rotors resurfaced. We informed him we would be happy to take care of that for him for $60. The reason for this charge is our company policy is if a customer provides there own parts we are not able to give a warranty on the service. If Mr. [redacted] would have purchased our materials there would have been a parts and labor guarantee that would have covered the resurfacing of his rotors. Unfortunately since Mr. [redacted] chose to provide his own parts there is no warranty so we would have to charge him the labor rate of $60 to resurface his rotors. We would be happy to take care of that at anytime. He can call our main office and we can set him an appointment or he can drive into any location and they will resurface his rotors for $60.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

we are unable to refund as there are no issues with the service we provided. we apologize that you had  issues with your vehicle that were completely unrelated to our service. We asked for specific information in rearguard to the allegations and none was given about overheating or any other issues. the document from [redacted] only states they were called for a flat tire which is unrelated to brake work.

In order to resolve this issue Brakeway is willing to take $10 off of our labor cost to resurface the customers rotors. The customer may go to any Brakeway facility and we will resurface the rotors for $50. Whenever the customer would like to get that taken care of he can call our main office at ###-###-#### and we would be glad to set him an appointment.Sincerely,[redacted] Customer service managerBrakewaye-mail: [redacted]

For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
I received a refund only after I threatened to open a fraud investigation with my bank. While I did receive a refund eventually I do accept the matter to be resolved. However they didn't even apologize to me for their error or for not refunding me promptly. You may now close this case. I will not do further business with Brakeway nor will I recommend them to anyone.

Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.[I am unsatisfied with the response due to working with [redacted] to resolve this issue and having no change. It was said by The mechanic and general manager that the wheel bearings we're bad. I instructed the parties that my wheel bearings were replaced less than 10,000 miles ago and that it wasn't it. But if they wanted to do it and see, they were more than welcome to do so. Upon completion of their "repair", it did not fix the issue that I came in for. The whole rear end is damaged from the mystery "fluid" they put in originally. I have tried getting in touch with the district manager and he hasn't made an attempt to answer my calls or compose one. I want my rear axle to be repaired or replaced, and paid for by Breakway to have a satisfactory response, that I agree with. I am attaching a quote from [redacted] care for the axle they have damaged to be repaired at their expense. I have yet to have contact with anyone else higher than D[redacted] authority to resolve my issue. I am saddened by the way this local business has treated myself and community, and cannot describe how painful and aggravating this experience is. It simply cannot be put into words. All I need from Breakway is to have my axle repaired or replaced at their expense. That is IT.Regards,[redacted]
