System slow

App is so slow, error and keeps saying no internet when I can go the other app without problem

Horrible service app, of course it's the chosen one for side gig jobs

Every time i get an oil change it's a 50/50 if it'll go smooth or get held up forever within "the system" for approvals etc. Legit have to boot up the app and process as I'm driving to the location as it takes a solid TEN MINUTES (if not a pinch more) to load up on the check in screen. With errors popping up in between (ignore those mostly) and just keep waiting. EVERY shop i ever go to has zero idea on any process electronically and the frustration is clearly visible on the associates face. Excellent reception and even on WiFi it takes 10 minutes or more.

I don't know what else to say other than everything on this app is about as backwards as it can get. Nothing run smoothly.

Had to go to a different shop for an alignment today. They said the app checked me in five total times on their system. Then when I checked in it disappeared and hasn't generated yet.

You seriously just waste more time so be prepared for dial up speed service from the app and processes.

DO NOT USE SCAM!!!

DO NOT USE THEM, THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ME $360 FOR A NEW CAR BATTERY AND OVER CHARGED ME FOR OTHER THINGS I DIDN'T NEED/WANT GOT CHARGED $37.64 FOR A BATTERY TEST THAT I DIDN'T WANT OR ASK FOR, $87 FOR AN ENGINE AIR FILTER AFTER THE SHOP TOLD ME THAT WAS THE PRICE FOR BOTH CABIN AND ENGINE AIR FILTERS AND WAS CHARGED A $10 TRANSACTION FEE! SUPPORT IS USELESS TOO AND THE SHOP DIDN'T CARE AND I THINK THEY ARE IN ON THE SCAM TOO! DO NOT USE SCAM APP!

Total Scam

I booked a full brake repair on the app with a Pep Boys that had a special. The Pep Boys did only the back brakes and took the entire amount. I contacted CarAdvise because the pricing was done through them. They said that’s normal and the shop charged me correctly. Such a scam. Don’t use

Discount instead of time

3 hours! I’ve been waiting for an oil change for 3 hours! And all this because the application system works slowly, coordination, confirmation of payment from my side, confirmation from the application (and it’s good if they don’t have system failures). I’ve only been waiting for payment confirmation for 2 hours. I’m angry, hungry and lost a lot of time. Of course, no one is in a hurry with the service, because they don’t earn as much as they would like.
