I brought my vehicle in for a pre-purchase inspection before selling my car to a buyer. Upon picking the vehicle up, a technician went through the inspection list with us.
On the inspection form they reported that my transmission fluid needed to be changed, the technician went as far as to say "it was as brown as those boots" as he pointed to his colleagues work boots. I found this quite peculiar as I had actually had the transmission fluid flushed 5 days prior at the Jiffy Lube next door. When mentioning this, the technician responded "Oh...really? Well sometimes you just might need to flush it 2-3 times to get it all". I also thought this response was a bit peculiar also but I payed for the inspection and brought it back next door to investigate what/why my transmission fluid could be brown.
When taking it back to Jiffy Lube, we discovered that the transmission plug had been completely stripped and the current mechanics were not able to get it open. At this point it looked like BCAA had stripped the plug.
When we approached BCAA about the damaged plug, they claimed they did not even touch the plug and that it could not be them who damaged it. This lead us to ask how they could have even determined the transmission fluid was brown if they: A) Did not touch the transmission plug and B) did not get a look inside the transmission fluid due to them not removing the plug. The technician gave a bogus answer about checking the fluid from the top determining the fluid was brown but confirmed they did not check it the usually way all mechanics would check.
Luckily the people at Jiffy Lube next door were amazing and helpful enough to send me to Victoria Transmission free of charge to replace the plug and to double check the status of the supposedly brown transmission fluid.
These mechanics were able to replace the stripped plug while also confirming that my transmission fluid was actually looking brand new and red/pink as it should when just being replaced.
Not only did BCAA fail to inform me they had stripped my plug and could not get a look into my transmission, they lied about the condition of my transmission fluid most likely in hopes that they would not have to replace the plug and that I would drive off without following up, to add insult to injury they charged me $222+. This made me question the credibility of everything else noted on the inspection sheet not to mention this cost me the sale of my vehicle. On top of this, I had to waste my time driving around to the different shops to finally confirm that my suspicions of their dishonesty was true.
When I brought the paperwork back to BCAA confirming their inspection findings were false, their solution was for me to come in another day so they could do another inspection on my vehicle at this location free of charge. I voiced the lack of trust and confidence in their ability to do a fair and honest inspection at this point and finally they agreed to refund me fully. Had I not followed up, they very happily would have taken my money claiming zero fault. After all this ring around, the technician let me know his manager would be following up with me and to this day they still have not contacted me.
BEWARE WHEN SELECTING THIS BUSINESS FOR YOUR AUTO NEEDS!! They are not the honest and trusted service providers you would expect under the umbrella of BCAA!
