Problems with Reputation
Several reviewers claim that Thunderbolt Motors' reputation has changed for the worse over time. Mr. Lee mentions that he had a bad experience with the company three years ago and now they are no longer recommended. Michael Riley also notes that he used to use the company back in the day, but the recent negative reviews make him hesitant to use them again.
Poor Customer Service
Reviewers have experienced various issues with customer service, including long wait times, poor communication, and even attempts to refuse to fix problems with vehicles. Stephanie S. had to deal with numerous issues, including a scratch on her car door, and was met with resistance from the company when trying to resolve the problem. Monique James's father dealt with similar issues, including having his truck towed home without being told it was ready, and was threatened with a mechanic lien.
Quailty of Work
Several reviewers mention that the quality of work at Thunderbolt Motors has declined. Mr. Lee's car was damaged during transport, and Michael Riley notes that the company's work is not what it used to be. Monique James's father's truck was left in worse condition than when it was dropped off, with issues including a non-starting engine and fluid pump problems.
Unethical Business Practices
Reviewers have reported various unethical business practices, including aggressive sales tactics, inflated prices, and failure to honor warranties. Stephanie S. was told that she had to have her oil changed every 3000 miles instead of the recommended 5000 miles, while Monique James's father was charged $6000 for repairs that were supposedly done but left his truck in worse condition.
