Where timelines are flexible, updates are optional, and customers are encouraged to call repeatedly for basic information.
At Milstead’s, we’ll confidently tell you your vehicle will be seen immediately once towed in. What happens next is part of the experience: several days of silence, no diagnosis, no parts ordered, and no updates unless you call and ask. Repeatedly.
Prefer transparency? Even better. You can request daily updates and enjoy receiving none of them — until you independently track down the owner’s contact information after the manager refuses to provide it. Once ownership gets involved, we proudly demonstrate that communication was possible the entire time.
We do eventually fix the car. That box gets checked.
But the real value-add comes after pickup. At Milstead’s, we may remove cosmetic modifications from your vehicle — like black window trim wrap — without your knowledge, consent, or disclosure. It won’t be mentioned. It won’t be documented. You’ll just notice it later and wonder what else changed.
If you return to ask about it, accountability is optional. We may offer to “fix it ourselves,” which pairs nicely with the overall experience.
So if you’re looking for terrible management, minimal transparency, and a little post-service detective work, Milstead’s Service Center has you covered. If you’re looking for professionalism, communication, or basic respect for customer property, you may want to keep shopping.
