Hi,
I have been a repeat customer with no complaints with Car-X for many years. My most recent experience with the facility at 9965 Watson Rd, Crestwood MO, 63126 has been very troublesome. I dropped off my sons 2005 Hyundia Tuscon for a simple flex pipe repair. The technician fractured the intake which was replaced at no cost to me, however, the car now has an engine misfire and associated check engine light which was not present at the time I dropped the car off for repair. Eric the facility manager seems to be accommodating to repair these conditions. I have now been waiting for almost three weeks for these issues to be remedied by the noted facility. I have been very patient. I am now taking my business to another organization. I understand things happen but this much time is unacceptable. Car-Ex customer service as degraded to the point of the loss of a many times repeat customer.
