Problem: Get ALL of the details on the car wash coupon deal BEFORE you purchase. What you buy is not what they describe when giving you the sales pitch. First thing this morning, we realize that some young punks with nothing better to do have gone around the neighbor hood and egged cars. They got both of ours, so we headed over to Fabulous Freddy's. I have been a customer of the FF Car Wash for years, but have never had a wash at this location. We roll up and the car wash gal tells us they are having a special. Get 12 car washes for the price of eight and today's is free. I pay the $92.00 for my eight washes, and get a coupon book for what I believe is 12 washes. WRONG! The book was for ten washes. Today's was not free, it was one of the 12. That still leaves eleven, right? Wrong again. Apparently the twelfth wash is mailed to you. I guess the problem here is the way it was presented. Kind of misleading. She made sure to push the Christmas angle and say they would make great gifts. Kind of hard to give it for a gift, if you have to wait for it to come in the mail. The first wash turned out ok. However, when I took the second vehicle, the second wash was not so good. I didn't realize until I got home, there was still an abundant amount of egg on the bumper and back door. UNACCEPTABLE. I have never had a bad experience at Fabulous Freddy's until today. This location did not impress me with their first impression. This experience fell well short of Fabulous. I will visit again, as it takes a lot to get me so worked up I won't return, but I won't soon forget. Previous experiences keep me from leaving a one star rating.

Problem: I've used Ted Wiens before and have had no problems. Plus, I have their little sticker coupon book so I wanted to take advantage of my discount.. But when I called to check up on the status of the oil change for my Lexy on Friday I was notified that in addition to the oil change, I was in desperate need of 2 new front brake pads, 2 new front rotors, 2 new rear tires and that my heating hose needed to be re-clamped because it was leaking.. I asked how much it would all be and was told it would be over $1000 :X FML but then I was told I would be given a little discount because of my coupon book bringing it down to around $975. Told them that I would think about it and call them back. I called another auto shop in the area to compare prices and was shocked when they told me that they would charge me a flat rate of $650. So I paid for the oil-change ($48 Synthetic Blend & that's with the $10 discount because my car holds 7 quarts of oil or something like that lol) and took my car down a few blocks to the other shop... While driving, I noticed Ted Wiens didn't even replace my next due oil change sticker and then later I found out that they rotated the rear tire on the right side of my car to the front (only the right side & not the left) which is very dangerous because they are 2 different sizes! UGH! The sales representative at Ted Wiens, Christian, has always been super nice but I can't help but feel those prices were a bit of a rip off.

Problem: Went to eat there after hearing about how good their strip steak was. We were staying at the pointe and had our two kids and two of their friends with us . After being seated by a nice host we were greeted by our server. She seemed some what rushed although there was no wait tonight. After letting the kids and my wife order I requested the strip steak. I was informed there was none left . I was given no alternative or substitute which left me with a choice of doubling my meal price to a 24oz rib steak or something else. Well the only reason I chose this place was because of the steak. So after I gave the server some time to offer an alternative she just left with everyones order but mine. After no service for around 10 min I finally asked for the manager. He was nice but offered no solution other than I order the $46-$48 steak or I could wait while he gets a steak from another restaurant . Which was nice but meant I eat after my family was already done eating. I suggested giving my the rib steak as a half portion and he answered me with "then what do I do with the other half of the steak"!!!!! I could not believe he actually said that. So with my wife and 4 kids finished eating I was just getting my meal. When the bill came is expected some sort of courtesy (maybe comp. some of the beverages) , nope. In fact we were charged full price for everything and had a 18% gratuity added to the bill already. I was hoping maybe it was just a server having an off day, but when the manager see's fit to make a comment like "what do you expect me to do with the other half of the steak?" I am convinced it is more about poor leadership.Overall the experience was very bad the service was poor and we will never again eat there. In fact I will be telling everyone that I know not to eat there. We will eat off property during our next stay at the pointe squaw peak.

Problem: As the night was winding down on State Street, we started looking for some food options. Since we had already given Ian's a whirl the night before, we thought we'd look for something else. The long line outside of Parthenon Gyros was an immediate recommendation, and late night gyros, kefta, and kebabs are a treasured institution the world over. After waiting almost an hour, we entered what struck me, as I see it did other reviewers, as basically a Greek McDonald's. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing - hey, I'm all for a speedy late night gyro. And with the lamb and beef glistening on the spit, my Greek pants were getting excited. But in sum total, the experience was a let down. The gyro meat wasn't tossed on a griddle or anything before being served, so it didn't get that crispy char at the edges. The tomatoes and onions in the pita were freezing cold, which translated into nearly cold gyro meat along with the cold tzatziki, which combined into a rather off-putting meal. The plate was served up quick once we got to the counter, but in this case, haste made waste. The only redeeming factor is that the fries were actually quite good. Crispy and flavorful, and if you get a piping hot batch, they are delicious with a side of feta cheese dumped and slightly melted on top, which you can purchase for about 75 cents. I was so hoping this late night gyro would be fantastic. But alas, we should have just gone back to Ian's.
