When asked if they could service our 2004 Monte Carlo Dale Earnhardt Jr Special Edition they indicated that they could do so. Our Service Representative, David Quinn, was and is very helpful and professional--and honest when I brought the car in with several indicators illuminated the first time. As it turned out, the problem was not major and all was well. That was about a year ago and we have been having our oil changes and tire rotations done through their shop ever since. We use synthetic oil which adds to the price of the oil change and rotation. I do find that their service seems a bit high, but sometimes that's okay if it is done properly the first time. I usually just drop the car off and they will drive me home right away. They will also pick me up after the car is completed if I need that service as well. I can definitely recommend Benny Boyd's service department in Bastrop, TX for more than just your dodge vehicles. Use with confidence.

He came out and took the back of it and he said several things and one of things he said is that, ‘there was nothing to clean because it is an electric unit’, it had a blower so he said it is $50 to have the blower cleaned. My unit is old so he also said, ‘I saw a duct tape with the wiring and all of that stuff holding together’, and I know you use electrical tape and not duct tape. I have an old unit so I keep talking about replacement and things need to be done and ask for reference and he gave me his mother in law’s number and it is their work phone number and I am nurse and I am not going to call a nurse at work. I had to have my work done on the blower and I asked specifically about the duct tape in my unit and it is a electrical tape and there is no duct tape in there and I didn’t have insurance plan that covers the service and I thought I will pay for the normal maintenance instead I felt like I paid $40 for a sales call as he didn’t do anything. He is very congenial and very nice. It was a total waste of my money and time. I didn’t get anything for my money except for a sales pitch. He inspected and found something wrong like a duct tape in there and that was an electrical tape or at least he should have set up an appointment to fix that.

UPDATE 2/1 - The bid to repair my wheels is $832.94.
---
UPDATE 1/31 - It cost $318.23 to have the Corvette's suspension realigned correctly and repair the car's real starting problem (which reasserted itself four times).
---
UPDATE 1/29 - Chevrolet called me today, as promised. They regret sincerely that, Parks being an independent owner and franchisee, they are unable to assist me directly. They did suggest I let them call Parks on my behalf; I responded that since Parks has now lied both to me and Chevrolet (see note of 1/25) this was no longer a matter of incompetence but of dishonesty, and under those circumstances Parks could not be trusted with the car under any conditions whatever, without regard for whomever might be looking over their shoulder - you can't supervise honesty into a liar. Chevrolet then offered me a $100 service credit letter good for thirty days. I thanked them for the gesture, but pointed out that as current estimates for repairing Parks' depredations run $800 to $1500 (not counting the time I spent cleaning my upholstery and carpets) and, further, since the credit was only good for thirty days and the Corvette would require no further services for about six months, it was just that - a mere gesture. Chevrolet then thanked me for my loyalty (we've bought 11 GM cars since 1948), in return for which I thanked them for 64 years of good cars but regretted that they must now understand that the era of my buying GM products was now closed. In this time there are enough good cars out there, and service standards are high enough, that it is not necessary for me to stand for what Parks and GM have just done.

UPDATE 1/26 - New issue: Parks' "repair" of car's starting problem is bad. Car has failed to start in the morning twice more since Parks charged me $95 to fix it.
---
UPDATE 1/25 - Spoke with customer rep at Chevrolet Motor Division. Individual at Parks who told me he was Service Manager - William Moore - is not the same person Chevrolet says is Parks' Service Manager. Parks Service Manager (I suppose the real one) told Chevrolet I had refused to let them examine the car. I filed formal incident, Chevrolet promises to follow up with me.
---
UPDATE 1/23 - Met with Parks service manager this evening. Examined car closely under my guidance. He claimed to have my letters but did not know my complaints. Refused to answer why he never answered first letter. Offered to redo disastrous suspension alignment in their own shop but refused to pay for having it done by a competent third party. Denied they damaged my wheels/rims. Appeared totally disinterested in all other complaints.
---
A total disaster from beginning to end. Worst service and workmanship I have ever received from any car dealer.
Chronology
On around December 10th I contacted Parks Chevrolet for a quote for a set of tires for my 2005 Corvette. On Parks? satisfactory offer I ordered the tires and also scheduled some other services: a suspension alignment, turning the two front brake rotors, an oil change/lube service, and repairing the unreliable left front tire pressure monitor. Parks told me they though they?d have the tires on about the 27th of December, so we scheduled the car into their shop on the 27th with me to call them on the 26th to ensure readiness.
Parks? quote on the suspension alignment was over $180, where the customary rate is about $85.
When I called Parks on the 26th they seemed confused about the tires. I was transferred twice, then told they were having difficulty locating the shipment. I was transferred again to another person who told me they?d located a supplier for the tires and had just ordered them.
Parks called back the afternoon of the 26th and changed their tire story several more times. It being clear Parks would not be prepared to work on the car on the 27th as scheduled, I asked them to call me when all was in readiness.
On around January 1st the car would not start and on January 3rd it was towed to Parks for repairs. Parks recommended a tow service and suggested I deal with them directly, saying it?d be much more economical. The car arrived at Parks about 9am on the 2nd. Then rather than letting me pay the tow service in the expected pre-arranged manner, Parks paid them, telling the tow driver they?d bill it back to me. Their bill-back was an astonishing $116 for an 8-mile tow.
While the car was being checked in the service advisor excused himself without explanation and left me standing alone at the service counter for around fifteen minutes. While standing there I noted their price board showed Parks? fee for a 4-wheel alignment job to be $85 (contrary to their $180+ quote to align the Corvette). Eventually, though, we got the car checked in.
Parks then called me the morning of the 3rd ? 24 hours after receiving the car ? and told me they had the starting issue in hand, and also that my tires had just arrived. I authorized the remainder of the scheduled work. They stated the starting issue would only take about an hour to fix.
Parks then kept the car for six full days without contacting me. The work scheduled would have taken most shops about half a day. The evening of the sixth day Parks had the car they called to say it was all finished except the suspension alignment, and that it was first in line for that job the next morning.
The next morning, the seventh day they?d had the car, Parks called and said they?d be a little late, as their staff had ?overlooked? the repair of the tire pressure monitoring device on the to-do list. In restating the issues the same man then said Parks had overlooked ?some things? on the list of services to be performed.
The car was finally delivered to me the evening of January 10th, the seventh full day Parks had kept the car.
Catalogue of Workmanship Defects
Parks? workmanship is the second worst I have ever experienced at any GM dealership. 1. Oil Change & Lube Service 1a. Oil-life-remaining indicator not reset to 100%. 1b. Dipstick (manufactured curved to fit into curved tube) forced into its tube rotated 180 degrees. 2. Left Front Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Device Replacement 2a. Left front alloy wheel profoundly toolmarked around valve stem. 2b. <deleted by submittor> 3. Starting Issue 3a. Parks said this was due to a loose positive battery cable. When car was returned the positive battery terminal shield was off the terminal and tucked to one side, leaving the terminal and nearby cabling exposed. This is a very dangerous condition. 4. Tire Installation 4a. All four tires overinflated: one by 10%, one by 13%, and one by an amazing 17%. No two tires were inflated to the same pressure. 4b. All twenty chrome lug nuts marked and blackened as by use of air wrench. 4c. Dark grease spots on several alloy wh"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ks/augusta/parks-chevrolet-augusta-reviews-5070685.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"ADVANCED AUTO PROS INC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"KS","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Roberta D."},"reviewBody":"I brought my car to Advanced Auto Pro's Inc. by appointment for a check up and oil change.

He was early to the appointment and went ahead and started inspecting the roof and exterior. He was quick to answer my questions concerning the current state of the property and also some tips for what I could do to reduce risk of basement flooding or excessive heating/cooling bills. Other inspectors I've worked with went after ticky-tack items (ex: garage door sensors being 4and quot; too low) while missing big concerns. Another simply just missed big items. I felt like Mark did a very thorough job. He put together a report with pictures of areas of concern at the house and we left with a report that could be shared with the homeowners."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ks/wichita/apex-building-inspectors-reviews-5109192.htm"},"position":10}]}

The crew did a great job. They answered many questions that I had and made a few changes that I requested on the install of the new American Standard 21 SEER heat pump system. This air conditioner is so quiet I can barely hear it run. I have a Very comfortable house now!

"This company was extremely efficient from the secretary who answered the phone to the dispatch of a person named Jeremy the next morning who arrived on time as scheduled. I was requesting an estimate to replace my main water line because I had no water pressure. Jeremy quickly assessed my problem and suggested we bypass my 24 yr. old water softener. When we did that I had all the pressure I needed. A reasonable diagnosis fee was less than $3,000.00 to replace a water line. I would recommend this company to anyone."

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts
Costs depend on system age, type, labor, and whether part replacements are necessary.
Leaks, poor airflow, reduced efficiency, and loop blockages are common problems requiring service.
Most HVAC companies charge a flat service call fee of between $75 and $150, which includes traveling to your home and inspecting your system to find the underlying problem. Keep in mind that these prices only include diagnostics and the actual repairs will usually be billed separately. If you’re calling for routine service, the service call will be included in your inspection and tune-up, with the total sitting around $150. Your prices could be a little higher if you have a very large home with multiple condensers and air handlers, as inspections and servicing take longer.
Geothermal systems provide energy efficiency, lower utility bills, and long-term sustainability with minimal environmental impact.
DIY maintenance like filter cleaning is possible, but professional servicing ensures proper pressure, refrigerant levels, and loop performance.
