Poor Service and Quality: My Experience at a Local Car Repair Shop
I had an appointment at this place for 8:30 in the morning, but they didn't start working on my car until after 9:30. It was finally done, but the guy who did the work didn't even bother to tell me that it was ready. Instead, he just went back to his office and texted for another 15-20 minutes. What was supposed to be a quick half-hour appointment ended up taking almost two hours.
To make matters worse, I went in to have a few paint touch-ups done for $95, but all they did was blob some paint on the spots. I feel like the guy who did the work took advantage of me because I'm a woman. A decent person would have told me that it was something I could have done myself for $10 with some touch-up paint.
When I went in to talk to the guy about the work he did, he said something like "you can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear." I don't know what that means, but it made me feel like he was insulting my car. My car may not be new, but it's in good shape, and the dings that he filled in now stand out more than they did before he supposedly repaired them.
Overall, I'm very unhappy with the service I received at this place, and I will definitely not be going back there again. It's a shame because I was really hoping to find a good local place to take my car for repairs, but this was not it.
Yahoo Local Review: A Free and User-Friendly Resource for Finding Local Businesses and Services
Yahoo Local is a great place to find local businesses and services. I have used it many times to find restaurants, shops, and other places in my area. The website is easy to use and has a lot of information about each business, including reviews from other customers.
One thing I really like about Yahoo Local is that it is free to use. You don't have to pay anything to search for businesses or leave a review. This makes it a great resource for people who are on a budget or just want to save money.
Another great feature of Yahoo Local is that it is very user-friendly. The website is easy to navigate and the search function is very intuitive. You can search for businesses by name, category, or location, which makes it easy to find what you're looking for.
However, there are a few downsides to Yahoo Local. One issue is that some of the information on the website can be outdated or inaccurate. This is because businesses can change their information without updating their listing on Yahoo Local.
Another issue is that the website can be a bit slow at times. This can be frustrating if you're trying to find information quickly.
Overall, I would recommend Yahoo Local to anyone who is looking for local businesses and services. It's a great resource that is easy to use and free of charge. Just be aware that some of the information may not be up-to-date and the website can be a bit slow at times.
Warning: Sexual Harassment at Reserve at Regent Center, Lexington, NC - Southwood Realty Fails to Take Action
This place is the absolute worst! I'm a lady who lives at the Reserve at Regent Center in Lexington, NC all by my lonesome and I was sexually harassed by some other tenant at the pool in the ladies' bathroom on 9/21. I went through all the channels with the front office and the law. The law is doing their part, but Southwood ain't helping me none. They sent me a letter saying they ain't gonna do nothing to the tenant that sexually harassed me. He can still go to the pool! I done called their corporate office and left messages for Angela Strider, the Regional Director, but she ain't called me back none. I was sexually harassed by another tenant and this is the "CARE" I got. I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU DON'T MOVE INTO A SOUTHWOOD REALTY APARTMENT PROPERTY!

Horrible Experience with Beacon Plumbing: Overpriced, Untrustworthy, and Dishonest
I had a really bad experience with Beacon Plumbing. My neighbor and I share a sewer line and we had a back-up. We called Beacon Plumbing to fix it and they said it would cost about $3,600. But then they found more problems and suddenly the cost went up to almost $30,000! I tried to negotiate with them and got them to lower the price by $2,000. I even signed the paperwork they gave me, but they ignored it and put liens on both my property and my neighbor's.
It took a few weeks, but eventually they got paid almost all of the money they wanted. But they still wouldn't release the liens, even though they had gotten the extra $2,000 I had negotiated with them. They lied to me several times, including telling me that I didn't qualify for financing. But the real problem was that they had submitted two applications on my behalf, and the financing company declined one and accepted the other.
Overall, it was a really horrible experience. I wouldn't recommend Beacon Plumbing to anyone. The Customer Service Manager at this company is not trustworthy at all. If you need plumbing help, I suggest calling a different company.
Terrible Experience at Furniture City: Damaged, Missing, and Delayed Furniture with Poor Customer Service
My experience at Furniture City was absolutely terrible. I purchased my furniture two months ago and it was finally delivered yesterday, April 2nd. Unfortunately, some of the delivery drivers entered my home without wearing masks, which was very concerning. Out of the 10 pieces of furniture that I ordered, one is still on back-order, one was missing, three were damaged and needed to be replaced, and one could not be assembled due to missing hardware.
When I contacted Moe at Furniture City in Mission Viejo, he informed me that nothing could be done and that the piece would not be assembled for another 10 business days until the hardware was ordered. To make matters worse, the piece I ordered was purchased from Ashley's Furniture, which was not what I was expecting. Several employees told me that these types of issues happen all the time and that I should just accept it. I was shocked and disappointed to hear this.
I attempted to speak with someone at their Corporate Office, but was told that they do not have one. When I asked where their leadership works, I received no response. Finally, I was told that Furniture City does not inspect the product before it is shipped to the home. This is completely unacceptable and I would not recommend shopping at Furniture City to anyone.
Overall, my experience with Furniture City was a complete disaster. The lack of customer service and quality control is unacceptable. I hope that they take steps to improve their business practices in the future.
Terrible Experience at Super 1 Gas Station: Malfunctioning Pump and Poor Customer Service
I recently visited Super 1 gas station located at 3203 Independence cross street Parker 10-7 and had a terrible experience. I filled up my Volvo S60 with $12 worth of gas, but when I pulled away, the needle did not move. I immediately turned around to check with the clerk if they could check the pump. I showed him my receipt, but it appeared that nothing was in the tank. I asked if he could put a bag over the handle until it was checked to avoid any other customers getting duped. However, he was not willing to do any of the above.
I then requested the clerk to either let me pump from another pump or issue a refund and cover the pump. However, he was not willing to do any of the above and instead called the owner. The owner's solution was to call the Police so they could take a report, which made no sense to me. I waited for 30 minutes with groceries in the car while the Police arrived. I asked for the number or contact of the person that regulates the pumps, but none of the above was a solution, so I finally left.
The minimal act of preventing another customer from spending money on a malfunctioning pump was too big of a request for them. It was a very awful experience for me, especially since I am a handicap 66-year-old. I went to OT and put the same amount in and got 1/2 tank, which is about what I normally get. I try to support independent operators, but that was the last time I will visit Super 1 gas station.
Beware of Yahoo Local for Estate Sales: Unprofessional, Rude, and Ill-Tempered
Sahel Sabet, a local guide with 34 reviews, had a bad experience with Yahoo Local. He warns people to think twice before handing over their estate to this company to liquidate. According to Sahel, the company is extremely unprofessional, and the lady who manages the estate sales has serious anger management issues and mental health problems. She is highly aggressive and lashes out at customers when they ask her even the simplest of questions. Sahel also claims that she refers to the items she is selling as "worthless" and doesn't bother checking on what she has actually sold to customers. He advises people to be very wary about giving her any of their family's possessions to sell.
Allie Jlm also had a bad experience with Yahoo Local. During the estate sale, the woman running the sale was talking about the owners of the house and the circumstances. Allie found this very unprofessional and not very pleasant. She also thought that the prices were way too high for what they were selling.
Another person who had a bad experience with Yahoo Local is Tammie Phillips. Tammie claims that the owner of Golden Egg, the company that manages the estate sales, was extremely rude and ill-tempered. She priced furniture so high that after 2 days, most of it went unsold, and it was left to Tammie to handle their disposition. Tammie also claims that Golden Egg placed one of their paintings on her white sofa that left ugly black marks. One of their customers damaged the door to her bedroom. Tammie says that the owner of Golden Egg, refused to give her a list of the items sold and their sales price. In Tammie's opinion, Golden Egg is a Rotten Egg. They caused her extreme emotional stress and financial loss. She warns people not to use them for their estate sale.
In conclusion, Yahoo Local has received negative reviews from several people. They have been accused of being unprofessional, rude, and ill-tempered. They have also been accused of pricing items too high and causing emotional stress and financial loss to their customers. People are advised to be cautious when dealing with Yahoo Local and to consider other options before handing over their estate to them.
Avoid Yahoo Local for Car Service: Terrible Customer Service and Incompetence
I've been taking my car to these folks at Yahoo Local for about a year now, trying to get to the bottom of a slow leak in one of my tires. I brought it in most recently on August 11th, but since then, the tire has lost 12 PSI. I tried to make an appointment online, but their website was acting funky, so I sent them an email instead to let them know I'd be coming in on September 8th in the morning. They sent me a system-generated email, an email from a customer service representative, and even gave me a call to confirm that I was all set to come in.
So, I showed up at 8:50 AM on September 8th, only to find a sign on the door saying that they were closed for a company picnic! I was pretty confused, since there weren't any other cars waiting for service like there usually are on a Sunday. Apparently, these guys told everyone about the picnic except for me, even though they had three different chances to do so. I couldn't even call my wife to let her know not to pick me up, so it was a total waste of time and gas.
Honestly, I'm pretty ticked off about the whole thing. I've bought at least seven sets of tires from these guys, but after this experience, I don't think I'll ever buy from them again. And forget about bringing my car back to them to try and fix the tire - they seem too stupid to figure it out, and their customer service is just terrible.
So, if you're thinking about going to Yahoo Local for anything, my advice is to avoid them like the plague. These lazy idiots don't deserve your business, people!
Negative Experience with La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries: Beware of Policies and Hidden Fees
I recently had an experience with Yahoo Local, specifically with their local.yahoo.com website. Let me tell you, it was quite the ride!
I was searching for a new furniture store to check out and stumbled upon La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries. I decided to give them a try and purchased a mattress from them. Unfortunately, the wrong product was delivered to me. I tried to contact customer service, but because it was a mattress, they were not able to help me. I was frustrated and didn't know what to do.
I decided to reach out to the corporate office, but they also were not able to assist me. They did mention that if I had purchased a protection plan, I could return the mattress 365 days later if I slept on it for 31 days. I was not informed of this when I made my purchase, so I was out of luck.
I was even more upset when I found out that the only way to upgrade to a better mattress was to pay for a mattress protector and pillow from La-Z-Boy and pay another delivery charge. This was on top of the $150 delivery charge I had already paid. All of this just to upgrade to a mattress over $1,000.
As a senior on a limited income, I was not able to afford this. I felt like La-Z-Boy didn't care about my situation and was only interested in making more money.
To make matters worse, the final sale policy only showed up after I had already made my payment. This was not made clear to me before I made my purchase.
Overall, my experience with Yahoo Local and La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries was not a positive one. I would caution others to be aware of their policies and to make sure they fully understand what they are getting into before making a purchase.
Poor Service and Unprofessional Behavior at Yahoo Local Service Center
I had an appointment with Yahoo Local on Thursday, October 17th. Tammy, the service girl, gave me an appointment for the next day at 7 a.m. I arrived at 6:45 a.m. and at 7:05 a.m. someone came out to me and brought me inside. They told me that my service advisor was Anderson Pierre, but he wasn't in yet. They had me wait in his office for about 10 minutes until he showed up at around 7:10 a.m. I found his behavior to be very unprofessional and not very courteous.
I told Mr. Pierre that my 2019 Dodge Challenger was making a ticking noise on the right tire area when turning the wheel left in a circle. I had read online that this could possibly be a bad CV joint. He took my information and had a courtesy van take me home, which was about eight miles away.
At noon, I called Mr. Pierre to check on the status of my car. He told me that the car hadn't been brought in yet and said he would call me back in an hour. However, at 3 p.m., I still hadn't heard back from him, so I called again. He told me that the mechanic was going to drive it around and hadn't heard any noises yet. They hadn't even brought the car in or put it up on the lift to check underneath the vehicle, even though I had an appointment at 7 a.m. and it was now six to seven hours later.
I would not recommend going to this place. I didn't go to Massey Yardley in Plantation, where I bought the car, because they have horrible service too. I thought Yahoo Local would be a better choice, but apparently not. The service was horrible, and I would advise anyone to stay away from this place.
