Took the car in for a tire rotation to their St Albert location. Have come to understand that Kal Tire is good for tires and tire service. DO NOT believe what they tell you about the condition of you vehicle. Was told I had two rear Struts and one front strut leaking and need to be replaced. Took the car to the Lexus dealer, all Struts are perfectly fine. Same thing happened on my 4Runner, said it needed new ball joints etc, dealer checked them, all well within spec. Both vehicles drive perfectly fine, no wander, no wobble, no uneven tire wear etc. On top of that, absolutely no comment about the check engine light and check VSC System warning being illuminated on the dash. (Was just a loose gas cap but surprised they missed a pretty big warning sign) Kind of wonder if they were driving it with their eyes closed.
Very good place to get tires and have tires rotated etc but definitely no a repair shop. Would like to think it is only poor training and not intentionally recommending work not needed. I am sure many of you have similar stories.
Really getting bad when you need a second option on car repairs. Used to reserve that for major medical.
