1 /5 Danielle peacock: **Beware of the Jasper, Tx. shop.
I would give zero stars if possible. The days of this shop having integrity and providing quality service is gone.
On December 24th, 2024, I took my 2019 Hyundai Accent in to get an upper catalytic converter changed out. I came in that morning at approximately 7am, and the technician came and got me almost at 10:00 and told me that they were all done with my vehicle, and my repair was complete. I Paid $369.69 for labor only. I had purchased my part previously online from a different vendor.
** Fast forward to two and a half weeks later and my check engine light came on. I took
the car to AutoZone to have the engine light checked. And they tell me that the O2 sensor that is attached to my catalytic converter needs to be replaced. Again I purchase my parts. And had the car looked at. At this point, I was informed that my heat shield had been cut and that the bolt that connects the heat shield to the body of the catalytic converter was missing, and that the wiring harness for the O2 sensor was not clamped in across the heat shield properly.
**The very next morning, I contacted Lakeway Tire & Service and spoke with a man named Wyatt. He told me to bring the car in for them to look at it. Later that day, I had the car brought in, and I spoke with the technician who did the repair over the phone; he informed me that he had cut the heat shield because he was unable to replace the catalytic converter without doing so. When I asked what could be done about my heat shield being damaged without my consent. He stated that he would have to talk to his boss and his boss would give me a call back later.
**The next day, I contacted Lakeway Tire & Service and spoke to Wyatt (The boss and owner, as he states) about the damage done to my car without my consent. He stated that the car was not damaged because it was an adjustment that had to be made and he will not replace or offer any recourse about the heat shield that they damaged because he feels that they havent done anything wrong.
**Ive had nothing but good things to say about Lakeway in the past. However, currently please be careful before you bring your vehicle to these people. They will damage your vehicle in the name of the repair and not tell you anything about it. And if you happened to find out about it later they will take no accountability for their actions.
