Meineke, Bristol, CT Do NOT go to this Meineke bristol, Connecticut

22nd of Apr, 2013 by User808567

I was just at the Meineke in Bristol Ct to have my steering checked out because it wasn't working properly. It was as if I no longer had power steering. It was checked out by Chris who informed me that I needed to have my power steering calibrated and it needed to be done at the dealership. He also informed me it wasn't dangerous and wouldn't "freeze up" on me I would just have to overcompensate on my turns. I went to the dealership following to ask them about it and was told that ." There is NO such thing as calibrating the steering on my car!" That it would need a new power steering assist motor and that it is "Indeed Very Dangerous" to drive. Chris at Meineke also informed me when I was there that I needed new "brake pads" and showed me an example of how thin my brake pads were. Upon further examination after leaving meineke it was determined that I definately do NOT need new brake pads and they were practically brand new! I am very very distraught about my service at Meineke and so glad I followed up with someone else. Why was I told these things by someone who is supposed to be an expert in these areas? Was it because I'm female and thought I didn't know anything???? Wouldn't someone in this field know if a car steereing can be calibrated or not?? Aslo, why was I told I needed new brakes??? Why was I told it was OK for me to be driving my car when in fact it is very dangerous???? Please explain. Thank you Monica Aiello Vehicle Year: 2005 Chevy Cobalt Vehicle
