I'd like to report the experience I had at Oil Plus, in an effort to be refunded for unacceptable and unstisfactory workmanship.

I responded to an ad that Oil Plus offered to do a 40 point check point on my car. When I took it in to have an oil change, I took advantage of this offer. I was told that there were 3 suggested areas of concern. They were: brakes, transmission, and radiator work. I set up an appointment to have the brakes repaired and the transmission worked on. My bill came to a total of $423.23.

I noticed the first time I drove my car in rush hour traffic, that my brakes were making a high-pitched squeal. I did not pay 400+ dollars to have my brakes squeak. I was immediately upset that there was a problem. I also discovered a noticeable engine noise that had not been there prior to the transmission work.

I called to find out if this would go away. I was told that I should bring it back to have it looked at. The first visit proved fruitless, because the conditions of sitting in the sun all day, were missing. (Since I had driven it cold from my car port.) I called again and was told that on a particular Saturday that we mutually arranged, I would be called when a bay was opened. I never got a call, and wasted my day off waiting at home for the call that never matierialized. Third try was leaving my car at Oil Plus on another Saturday, again a day off. I was left with no vehicle and was called and told there was nothing wrong with my car. I continued to hear both annoying noises.

I do not wish to return to this establishment or have any of the mechanics touch my car. I would like my full refund, so that I can take my car to the dealership and find out what Oil Plus did to my car, and have the dealership correct it.

Update: Company name changed to Auto Medics of Shelby & moved in 2005

AUTHOR: Anonymous - Shelby Township (U.S.A.)

Just an update about this company. They changed their name to Auto Medics of Shelby sometime between 2002 & 2006, but didn't actually register it with the state until 2006. They've had a reputation for poor work & dissatisfied customers. In 2005 they moved to 5100 Auburn Rd Shelby Township, MI 48317. The phone number remains the same.

A much nicer service center, Universal Auto, is now at the 46390 Dequindre Rd location. They've done great work and the young man behind the counter is always so helpfull & pleasant. I didn't want them to get a bad rap for being at Auto Medic's (formely Oil Plus) old address.
