The Mavis in Saratoga has been OK to me. I wish ASS or someone was closer. . . what are you going to do. I dropped my RPF1s off and laid out a pretty specific set of expectations and they were pretty accommodating. No issues with a mount and balance. Most chains are full of goons, no way around that. I got a front quarter panel jacked when Hoffman tried to lift my car by it during a state inspection. Luckily they cut me a check for that… they tried to make me pay for the inspection too and I lost it in the waiting area. Probably cost them a few customers right then. Sometimes rotors take a little persuasion to get off, nothing out of the ordinary there as long as their careful. I’m guilty of beating the shit out of a rotor or two in my lifetime. That’s why I coat the back of every rotor with anti seize. No problems when you do that. If not, you may have to get the mini sledge out. ---

not a fan of mavis either, one time I just got my del sol back from painting red lip over on rims and wanted to get new tires… After 4 hours of waiting I got car back with 4 curbed the fuck up rims. Carlos, the manager of the central ave store is a good guy though, he corrected a few other things recently as well as put road warranty on tires that were over a month old when I fucked up my tire. ---

My ex-wife was working at a daycare near there and blew a tire on my Jeep. I left work, got the tire, and brought it there since it was closest. A simple plug. Gave them the wheel, and sat right down in the lobby. Over an hour and a half goes by, I walk up to the desk for an update, and he goes “Jeep Cherokee? Yeah that’s been done for awhile, it’s outside.” Never fucking felt the need to inform me it was finished. I raged out of there. ---

Grand Premiere doesn’t do alignments. Would never take my cars to Mavis. Also, they were trying to protect their time. If a bolt is fucked up and it takes 2 hours to get out, well then you should pay for more than 1 hour of work IMO. ---

This…the alignment price generally includes doing the alignment, if you car is a rust turd underneath then maybe they would charge a bit extra. They still went about it the wrong way though [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/attn-mavis-lovers-sorry-nick/258427.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/attn-mavis-lovers-sorry-nick/258427.md?page=3)
