McFall Tire and Auto Repair THEY LIE AND RIPOFF WOMEN Avondale Arizona
I went there because my car was smoking. They had my car all day and then myself and another female friend went in to to see what was wrong and the cost. The mechanic said that it was smoking because the power steering fluid was leaking onto the engine. He said it was unsafe to drive because the if the power steering pump went out I would not be able to drive. He also said the front axle on the passenger side was needing repaired. I left and the next morning I took my car back, left it for the day. Paid over $500. Left car still smoking from exhaust. Took back, said it was something else, left car. Picked up paid another $130. Left still smoking. Took back. Then the owner - Mr. Marcus Mcfall, said it was another problem. Wanted more money and then began to get very rude to me. I am African and he said he did not understand me (I have spoken all over the World, including the White House) got very frustrated, rude and started telling me to leave his shop or he would call the Police. He then threw down the money on the counter for the last repairs $130 and went off about how I need to leave. I took my SMOKING CAR that was supposedly repaired the FIRST VISIT and left.
My Executive called to tell him about the FIRST repair attempt and how the power steering bill was a lie and that should be refunded too. He hung up on my assistant after he did not discuss the initial $500 for a repair that WAS NOT causing the SMOKE from the exhaust. She is my Witness, also he admitted he is video taping his customers and so that means he is aware his mechanic lied to us about the Power Steering pump causing the engine to smoke.
I am a women. I am from Afica. I was RIPPED OFF.

EDITOR’S Comment to statements made about Ripoff Report:
Ripoff Report strongly believes in the First Amendment, even when it is about us. We understand that people who have complaints written about them are upset and want to place blame somewhere, especially if they feel the content of the Reports are false. We also understand that individuals want to blame our website rather than where it belongs – on the person who wrote the Reports in the first place. Using the same method that we provide FREE OF CHARGE to all of our users, we would like to “set the record straight” as to the comments posted about our website through this Rebuttal. Every user of our website has the opportunity to tell their side of the story, for free, just as we will do here. We certainly encourage users to “set the record straight” and tell their side of the story by using the free methods available to them before they consider other Ripoff Report programs (such as our VIP Arbitration Program or the Corporate Advocacy Program) or alterative avenues (such as filing a lawsuit against the Author of the report) that cost money.
The Author of this report is incorrect in saying that Ripoff Report will remove a Report for $2,000, or for any amount of money for that matter. Ripoff Report has always had a uniform policy of NOT REMOVING Reports. Ripoff Report is a permanent Record.
Our policy can be viewed on our website by clicking HERE. $2,000 is the cost of Ripoff Report's VIP Arbitration Program - a program that (((REDACTS))) only challenged statements of facts in a Report that are found to be to be false after presentation of evidence to an independent arbitrator. Even in that instance, the Report is not removed. Only challenged statements of fact that are found to be false by the arbitrator will be (((REDACTED))). Again, to be clear, Ripoff Report will not remove Reports for money and any information to the contrary is simply not accurate. To understand the full context of our Arbitration Program, we invite you to review all of the applicable information, including the Program Rules, by visiting our arbitration webpage at http://www.ripoffreport.com/Arbitration.aspx.
We thank you for taking the time to read this Rebuttal and allowing us to “set the record straight.”

Now to the REBUTTAL that was posted.
=============================
I have researched the information offered by this company to remove this false review only to find that a $2000 non refundable fee is to be deposited before any action is taken. Review sites like Yelp may overly scrutinized they're reviews but serve the consumer base with a far better and accurate way of eliminating the businesses who do wrong. So for now we react to all as necessary. Although with any form of technology I believe this will evolve hopefully into an even more accurate and efficient process, to evenly protect the consumer AND the honest right doing businesses from the unreasonably unfair either/or. Nothing is to be hidden as an honest, moral establishment when mistakes or miscommunications occur. The difference is made when a company cares and believes enough in they're values to go above and beyond to do what is right by mind and heart to continue to instill these values even past operational hours.
i don't expect this rebuttal to be posted but if it is and any questions may be answered please feel free to contact me at either location Avondale 623/872/8403 Goodyear 623/932/1333

I live a mile from McFall Tire and have had work done on several cars at their location. They have been extremely helpful in finding issues, giving estimates, and in the case of minor issues, not even charging me for the work.
I have bought tires and had engine work done here. In every case, the estimate was reasonable and the work done at that cost. If more issues were discovered, they called me and asked if I would like an additional estimate or if I wanted only the original work done.
This is just about the only fair and trustworthy family-owned garage I will take any of my vehicles to. I trust their work ethic, their judgment, and their work.
I doubt there is any type of discrimination or racial or gender bias at McFall Tire.

There are multiple inaccuracies in this report. This customer was asked to leave nicely after communications broke down when I was called a RACIST. I had no problems understanding her at any point. Later in the day I attempted to reach her to further discuss the issue in hopes to come to an agreement and was unsuccessful. The "EXECUTIVE" which I am sure is the actual author of this report was not present nor preve to all of the information and was extremely confrontational and unprofessional. I was hoping this person would be helpful to find a fair conclusion, but to my suprise she was very much the opposite. I have since spoken with two of the customers sons which have both assured me that they're mother is happy and understanding of the offer we have extended to her but she recently purchased a new car so it is unnecessary. Also her son that has since done business with our company nicely apologized for the unfare comments that were made towards me and my business. She is a wonderful person and I do not wish to damage anyones reputation, that being said for any further details I can be reached at McFall.Marcus@gmail.com or at either of the locations in Avondale 623/872/8403 or Goodyear 623/932/1333.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
