Re: “Eagle's Nest Wellness Center

AMAZING PEOPLE! I agree with the previous viewers -- caring providers who do not rush, do not push anything on clients and the atmosphere is warm, even homey! Lots of choices and the staff is always concerned about our welfare. Edibles are well made, accurate in the mg. of mmj, and DELICIOUS! Must have been a very disgruntled employee!! Thank you for everything! I hope that you keep the popcorn!! lol

Re: “Aspen Auto Clinic - Tutt Blvd.

My first experience with them my breaks where squeaking on a fairly new Nissan. We took the car to the service center at my dealership; they said it would be a $450 repair. We took it to aspen and they said it was just a little dust and they cleanned them for around $30. That was a year ago and my breaks are still great. When my old Dodge broke down today I knew who to call. I'm sure they saved me thousands today. They have always been up front about what I need to do and what I "should" do and why. The technician even took me back to the shop, showed me why my car died, what needed to be done and what he was doing. Bonus I had just left the gym and stood in the sun for an hour waiting for the tow truck. I was starved and dehydrated. They have a very nice waiting room filled with free snacks and refreshments. What I was sure was gonna turn into a call to the junk yard only cost me a total of $130. Big shout out and THANK YOU to the Aspen Auto team!

Re: “Thunder & Buttons II

Decided to stop and try the food here when we noticed the specials board while strolling through Old Colorado City - VERY glad we did! They had a lot more than just burgers and bar food. We had the Lettice Wraps as an appetizer and tried a couple of the daily specials - I had Chicken Marsala and the wife had the Sloppy Buffalo. Everything tasted great. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere with very good service. Loved the vintage NFL helmets around the bar - will definitely be back for football season also!!

Re: “Bob Penkhus Volvo Mazda at Motor City

This is about the Test Drive Service Center

So irate! I took my car in because it was making a funny noise (user error). I dropped it off on a Wednesday evening because I was not going to be around Thursday when it was scheduled to be looked at. I was set up with a tech Wednesday to do a ride along to see if he could figure out the problem. He couldn’t at the time. Around 2pm Thursday evening I get a call about the problem. I tell them to fix it. This is when I was told that the parts for my car would be special ordered and that they would not be in until Monday.

I was blown away. My issue with that is that it never came up Wednesday. They never said that if parts were needed they would have to be ordered, because your car is so new (2011). No one ever said you will be out of a car for about five days. I wanted them to put it back together and I was going to pick it up, pay for the parts that I was told later, were special ordered so I had to pay for them, and take my car somewhere else. I should have!

I received no call Monday about my car. I called Tuesday after 11 am and the service chic gets on the phone and says "Oh yeah, we'll have it done by the end of the day today." I ask her why that would be because she told me Monday. I asked her why no one contacted me Monday to let me know they were not done. She replies," Let me look at my call log and see, I called this number (my home number) at 3:40pm yesterday." I'm furious now because she says that she has a log saying she called my house and no one called! I say, no, I have a phone log as well and I was at home, you didn't call me. Then she goes into making oh sounds and mumbling about she thought she did and she doesn't know what happened. The kicker is, I gave them my cellphone number and she had previously contacted me on. So… now she lies about calling my home number? She never even said she left a message. Probably because she knew she was lying. She left a message on my cellphone Thursday.

So, not only did they not call me early in the morning Monday to say they didn't receive the parts and would not be done but they lied about calling me. She said the parts eventually came in around 2:30pm Monday. However, she said the car would not be ready until the end of the day Tuesday. That means they knew Monday morning that they weren't going to be able to fix the car and no one called then. Plus, this job should not take all day. What I’m getting is that no one touched my car Monday when the parts came in and they did not start on it Tuesday morning either.
I will never take my car there again unless it has a warranty issue. I took my car in for services such as oil changes and rotations (I drive a lot). No more. I will no longer pass along their name to those who are searching for cars either.

Keeping my car for six days is one thing, however; my major problem is the lie and then the lack of communication. I should not have to call them to chase down my car. They need to get more competent people in there as well. Obviously those that are working in the service department at the desk are overwhelmed and cannot handle the task they are assigned. Lying is not the answer. Had she admitted she forgot to call me I would have been upset but it is different than outright lying to me.

I will have the work inspected by another mechanic because I don't trust them after reading other reviews and the lie.

Re: “Swirl Wine Emporium

The biggest rip off!! My friend bought a bottle of wine for $14.00 they charged us 37.00 each for each bottle of the same exact wine. I will never ever go there again. That was the biggest rip off ever, not even fancy wine, and they give it to you for $14.00 a bottle to take away with you and the atmosphere wasn't that great. This place SUCKS!!!

Re: “Altitude Organic Medicine

I had recently read a review in the CS Indy that talked about this dispensary and how they had to move due to the new MM laws in Colorado, but other than that, I had never heard of this place .. what a bad on me !!

I happen to be downtown at Southside Johnny's, and saw the dispensary across the street and decided to check them out, being the dispensary whore that I am. It was a few minutes before closing, so I knew I had to be quick.

Everything that the budtender pulled-out was AMAZING ! It all smelled great, it all looked wonderful, and everything was cured exceptionally well. Being under the gun with time, I decided on several 1gm J's of the meds he had in the jars, which would allow me to try a multitude of their product; and I would not be disappointed !! The med. that REALLY grabbed my attention was the Bubble Gum. I only smoked 3 hits and I was stoned and stupid in a blink of an eye, and over the course of the next hour - WOW !! Over the past few days I've tried all of their meds, and can only say that every one of them have been outstanding .. honestly !!

I rarely write reviews or give dispensaries kudos, but these guys have something special going on here, and just thought everyone should know about them. Keep up the great work guys !!

Re: “40 Thieves Hookah Lounge

I really liked the atmosphere when I first walked in and even the people were decent, but the crowd overall seemed snobish and not willing to mingle. I got over that quickly because I was there to smoke hookah anyways. Maybe five minutes into the night, one of the WORKERS there took off his shirt and started doing this weird bellydance for about 30 minutes. I was there with my boyfriend and it was very uncomfortable. I havent gone back since. If I wanted to see some half naked skinny freak strip, id go to a strip club. I have to admit, it was the most well kept place Ive seen in town for a hookah bar, but the dancing was offputting.

Re: “Cannabis Therapeutics

Nice people friendly and professional , but im sorry to say that your top shelf product was of very poor quality. Chlorifil-ley tasting in fact. just a 3 out of 10 for quality.

That was several months ago and i have not been back recently to see if things have improved. however your product gave a good argument to mandatory THC content testing which will raise prices for everyone , and was frankly such a waiste of money and lung power it is part of the reason i am here today.

Trying to do a good thing for my community where money comes hard for people these days.

Re: “A Cut Above - Fillmore

A Cut Above has Lovely high end quality magazine picture buds that will just make you druel at the natural smell and taste , Choices are good and nicely cured among strains ranging in the 7- 10 quality range. Price's are reflective however with only a 2 oz break on price.

Staff is friendly and professional

Their product is an enjoyable treat for me but difficult to afford on a continual basis.
worth visiting when you want to pamper yourself a little bit

Re: “A Wellness Centers

Right on Man ! you guys are cool ! Im impressed and it takes a whole lot for a dispencery to impress me. You have taken my smoking experiance to a whole new level of excitement with your excellent bargain and exceptional quality of your Infused bud. WOW the choices , WOW the head rushes , WOW the Price.

Staff is comfortably normal and the mood in this dispencery had real good vibe to it.

A Wellness on Wood Ave at Fillmore has earned my respect and my very hard to get recomendation .

Re: “Medibis

I like this place for usually having better than average smoke at a better than average price . Staff and owner is friendly and professional with no head games or BS. And this fella really knows what he's talkin about with medical concerns.

smoke is at times ultra high magazine photo grade and still sold for $25 -$30 an 1/8. and a nice looking count as well.

I will grant Medibis at the Dog Track my personal and very very hard to earn recommendation.

Re: “White Mountain Medicine

Be Very Very Careful ! . Upon my first visit i was offered a 1/4 oz. for $60 and the clerk tried to collect $96 from me. Prices appeared to be on a whim off the top of their heads and would change from employee to employee.

Upon my next visit to White Mountain which was today I was told that they would NOT sell me any Top shelf product unless i sign over my caregivership to them . WOW ! ive never been told that before anywhere. Im not sure its even legal ? I replied that i was only interested in purchasing a recurring and steady amount of Top Shelf product, and if they wont sell my their high end then im walkin. And they replied ... bye

I am just appauled at their level of rudeness as i was clean , well dressed, very very polite and i wasnt there to spend chump change like the rest of their customers appeared to be. I just cant believe a merchant would treat me that way in this day and age , and in this economy . My God how dumb.

needless to say i wont ever be back
Sincerely CW
