Advanced Auto Care Center

I dropped my car off on Tuesday to get some preventative work done (replace upper/​lower radiator hoses because they were starting to get spongy) before I had to drive to Tampa today but nothing was wrong with my car AT ALL. It ended up not getting worked on until Wednesday, which was fine. I picked it up Wednesday afternoon and when I got in the car my check engine light was on– first sign that worried me, because my car was 100% fully functioning and free of error lights when I dropped it off. They got back in it and cleared the code, telling me that it just said «random misfire» and it was nothing to worry about. I drove it home after $ 300+ in repairs.
I’m getting ready to get onto 75 this morning to drive to Tampa and my car starts acting weird– shaking, making weird noises, etc. I pull into an auto parts store to check it out and my coolant is POURING out of the bottom of my car and had completely covered my entire engine in Dexcool. I called the shop, waited 45 minutes for a tow truck, and brought it back to their mechanic. They look at it and tell me their mechanic yesterday DIDN’T KNOW to cut their universal radiator hose so it didn’t rub on my AC belt (it had rubbed and ruptured, causing the coolant leak) so I sat there for over an hour while they replaced it and refilled my coolant. I didn’t have to pay for the towing or repairs (shouldn’t have had to– it was 100% THEIR fault) but I DID have to spend most of my day worrying about the problems that they caused my car because their mechanic didn’t know how to properly install my part (no compensation received or anything). I took my car to them fully functioning and had to bring it back on a tow truck. Something isn’t right there. Sure, they’re nice people, but being nice doesn’t help me when I’m stranded at a store (could’ve been stranded on 75 if I wouldn’t have stopped)… I will NEVER go back to them, even for a simple oil change…
