I was wondering why people go to Walmart to get tires and service work done. It’s always took about two hours when my girlfriend went there. Sure its cheaper but is it worth waiting and shopping for two hours?

mostly for convenience
because they dont know.
well if you can keep yourself occupied for two hours then yeah. it only took ours a half an hourat walmart but they messed it up so we go to america’s tire co. now. NO WALMART
Some like that convenience if they’re going to shop.
because they are cheap rascals and do not know any better. they deserve to have their cars mangled by hamfisted walmart mechs.
yeah, its very convenient,
imagine going to a stand alone shop, there would be nothing to do, especially on a two hour wait
I go so I can beat up the bag-checkers while I wait.
I feel it is very much worth it. The time flies when you get to shop around while you’re waiting instead of just sitting around in a chair & reading magazines. I managed to get 4 very good tires on my car for about $200 when it would’ve cost much more anywhere else.
Because they have no f-ing clue and dont give a rats behind about their vehicle. Those mechanics at WALMART are in a word, morons. DO NOT let them UNDERCOAT your vehicle either! They can’t even do that right! They got undercoating ALL OVER my boyfriends truck, on the hood, on the side and it’s basically ruined the paint. It looks TERRIBLE. Those mechanics at WalMart fix something and break another. Too many examples to give. DO NOT GO THERE FOR AUTO SERVICE!
Well, as a mother of 3, it is difficult to go wait an hr or more in a stand alone shop. It is much easier to contain my kids in a shopping cart walking around Walmart. Besides, I get my shopping done in 1 trip.
Mainly for the convienence. You can take care of other stuff while you get an oil change. I do know what you are saying, though.
i would never go to walmart to have my car service they used the cheapest parts and the techs are not professionals trust me they will mess up your car
They use the same parts, that you would buy in a part store.. so thats not a problem..
and if you go to a dealership, or a firestone, or a pep boys… trained ‘TECHNICIANS’ dont waste their time on doing oil changes or tires (ex employee).. they hire an inexperienced kid for 6.00/hr to do those waste of time jobs.. unless they are part of a bigger work order or the job they are doing involves changing the oil….. and even then, they sill go get the 6.00/hr kid to do it for him while he works on somethin else…
so the same person you are taking your car to in a ‘professional’ shop… chances are the kid at walmart used to work their doing the same thing…… (and yes.. ive worked in all those places in a formal life)
Because they don’t have a Costco nearby?? Honestly.. Costco has just as good prices and a lot quicker flat repair. And they don’t do the oil changes so they don’t have to remember to put the oil in the car after they drain it, same with antifreeze.. Some people are just too dumb to know how to do that easy stuff so they pay others to do it for them.
people are cheap and want the best price. They dont take into account of the type of oil used and the accuracy that is taken when changing oil. Plus I guess they like supporting foreign companies because walmart is the worst non USA parts using store in the country. And to the person that said a stand alone company you have nothing to do for 2 hours I dont know where you are going but I get mine done at a pennzoil and 10-15 minutes tops I have new oil filter greased all fluids inspected door hinges sprayed and am on my way I dont wouldnt care if they charged me $50 I would rather pay it than go to a place like walmart. by the way it costs me $28 for that full service. Walmart charges alot less but look at the quality of workers and the type of products they are using no thanks.
