I'm a bit late writing this review but realized I should write since the high rating is the only reason I drove way out here, but found that the service I received doesn't match the rating. This was my first time doing business with modbargains. This place looks good both online (including ratings) and on site. But think of a pretty container with a bow on it, problem is when you open it, it's full of dirt. First I thought it was weird that you get charged when making an appointment, but after making the appointment by phone, I was informed that customers are charged a $50 cancellation/reschedule fee which I would believe is because the original/second time they scheduled an appointment could have went to another customer had they not cancelled/rescheduled resulting in an inconvenience.. potential business for ModBargains which may result in a loss. But for ModBargains to cause an inconvenience on a customer because they failed to ask the necessary questions (whether the customer has a manual or automatic transmission) when setting up an appointment, to insure they could perform service a customer asked and paid for, only to have the customer show up after coming from more than an hour away (which they were aware and asked if I can arrive early so the car can cool), and then at that point tell me they cannot perform a service, means the customer also has a loss in time and money. And then for ModBargains to not return the funds for a service not performed until the customer calls and asks for it a week later, then again a month later, and not at least waive the cancellation fee for an added inconvenience (which is far worse than appointment cancellation/rescheduling) now placed on the customer by ModBargains, really is bad business. It seems to me ModBargains wouldn't have had the honesty or decency to return the funds for a service they didn't perform if they weren't asked to. It also appears as though ModBargains thinks they're better than the customer.. if a customer makes a mistake they get charged, if ModBargains makes a mistake they don't own up to it. Sad thing is I told the Co-Founder Mike Brown about what was going on as far as not getting the refund for a service not performed, and while Blake (sales rep) lied to him stating that he tried to contact me and left a voicemail which he never did.. apparently Mike still believed him.
Sorry, but ModBargains inability to take care of customers properly let's me know I should never come back.
Don't forget, word of mouth is a businesses most powerful asset or worst asset, without it no one would know about a business, or people would hear nothing but bad things about a business. ModBargains is not the only custom shop out there. Don't be fooled by the ratings. Who knows how many of those are real reviews or just them having friends write good reviews to get better ratings than deserved.
