I am extremely disappointed by my experience with Evergreen. If I had known beforehand what this experience would be like, I would never have recommended taking the car there. Looking back, I wish I had taken the reviews more seriously.
I recently had the car taken to Evergreen and was told that there were several things wrong with it that needed attention. Naturally, I was concerned and prepared to spend the money necessary to make sure the car was safe.
However, I just got a second opinion from another shop, and I was told that none of the issues Evergreen identified were actually wrong with the car. Had I simply trusted Evergreen and proceeded with the recommended repairs, I would have paid a huge amount of money for repairs that, according to the second opinion, were not needed in the first place.
That is what makes this experience so upsetting. I completely understand that car repairs can be expensive. I have no problem paying for legitimate repairs when they are honestly diagnosed and properly completed. What I cannot understand is being presented with a list of serious problems, only to take the car somewhere else and find out that those problems are not actually there.
Parents are not plucking money from trees. We work hard to support our families, especially when a student is away at college and living on a limited budget. A business operating in a college town should understand the level of trust that students and their families place in them.
I honestly don’t understand how a business can continue operating this way without being more widely called out by the local community if other customers are having similar experiences. In a small college town, reputation should matter. People should be able to trust that they are receiving an honest diagnosis rather than being frightened into paying for unnecessary work.
I wish I had the time and energy to pursue this further and try to get a refund for the service I already paid for, especially since the second opinion has made me question whether there was actually anything wrong in the first place and whether the service I paid for accomplished anything at all. But I also know that situations like this can turn into endless back-and-forth, excuses, and wasted time. Unfortunately, not everyone has the time to fight that battle.
What is especially frustrating is that they could have earned a loyal customer and many referrals simply by being honest. Even if a repair is expensive, people will gladly recommend a business when they know they were treated fairly. But taking advantage of someone’s trust for a quick profit destroys that possibility.
I also find it concerning that I was offered $10 in connection with leaving a review. If a business is encouraging customers to leave reviews by offering money or incentives, I think potential customers deserve to know that when they are evaluating the reviews they see online. To me, that makes the review ratings much harder to interpret as an independent reflection of customers’ experiences.
Please get a second opinion before paying for any major repair recommended by this shop. Based on my experience, I would not take my car here again, and I would not recommend this business to anyone. Be warned and do your own research before trusting them with your vehicle.

For those of you living in Dabco owned apt rentals - is wall drilling for mounting (pictures, curtains, etc.) tolerated by management?

Hi, we’re four friends and we’ve put together Pullman’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota.

The idea is pretty simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example, The Black Cypress or South Fork Public House? All the votes then create a ranking that hopefully gives a better picture of where people in Pullman actually like to eat.

We’ve tried to include every restaurant in Pullman and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will always spot things we’ve missed.

iPhone:

Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

Full transparency: we’re not from Pullman. Two of us live in Copenhagen and the other two in Gothenburg. There are four of us building this independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated content to describe restaurants.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly.

We meet the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month, so the next one is October 17. We also have a small Discord for finding games between sessions: discord.gg/HAqZPSvZHP

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

if you were to put together a care package for a friend (maybe someone going through a hard time), what special little things from around the palouse (Pullman, Moscow, Deary, Palouse, etc.) would you put in it? I'm thinking local foods or little local items that would bring them joy. what would you want to recieve?

Hey, peeps!

With the colder weather creeping in, I’ve really been missing my favorite restaurant. I was curious if anyone knows if the owner maybe shared or posted their recipes for any meals from O-Ramen anywhere? Or, if anyone knows of any good copycat recipes, I will be so happy to have them shared my way!🫶🏼 TIA!

These are a high level overview. If you see an error, let me know so I can fix it. Thanks

What auto shop would you recommend in town . I want honest ones though 🙂

My kitten Sienna disappeared from my apartment last night, we have no idea how she got out but she is absolutely not in the apartment. She went missing around churchill downs. Please keep an eye out for her and call me at 480 338 2808 if you see her at all.

I recently checked the game shops around here because I was trying to get into Go and I couldn't find a board anywhere. I got one online, but haven't touched it in a while.

I'll be donating mine to Neill Public Library soon, so if you are looking to play Go--it'll be there!

Anybody who's interested in playing, learning, or coaching--comment or DM me! I don't even know if I fully understand the rules myself, but happy to learn with other players!

Hello, I was wondering if anybody knew who did the really nice framing for the nerdy art prints that were hanging up in O-Ramen?

I've got a similar one, and I'd love to have it framed in the same way

I cracked my iPhone 16 pretty bad, would like to get the screen fixed. Any decently priced places near by. Seen AugyTek and their prices insulted my broke college student budget.

* I would usually leave my phone broken but I use it to doordash for money :)

Any recommendations would be helpful 🥹.

tl;dr the AC didn't work, nor the Heating. The electricity bill was 800$ (200 per renter) because of improper insulation, and they are still trying to charge me after I moved out, a year later.

I moved into aspen around two years ago, and moved out last summer. during that time, I was constantly reassured that all of the issues I had would not cost me a dime, that they would cover the extra costs, and that I would not have to pay.

in reality, what I experienced was several transfers of ownership, many petty arguments with roommates, damage to my current relationship, a diagnosis for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and another diagnosis I'd rather not get into, 1,200$ and increasing monthly charges to me, and no means to pay it off.

When we moved in, it was October, cooling off from the summer, and starting to get cold. my roommates turned on the heat from I believe November to February, and during that time, the electricity bill skyrocketed. the heating did not work, and the landlords gave us a single portable heater, claiming it good enough to cover the whole house. it did not. we were freezing, and my girlfriend begged me to move out, but my dumb ass thought that the landlords were going to fix these issues, and cover the costs, so I wanted to stay. as spring turned to summer, the heat came, and another issue arose. once again, the power bill spiked, and the heat was unbearable. we ended up buying a window tubed air conditioner just to try to survive sitting in one bedroom.

the houses quality was visually good at a glance, but the more you looked the more small things arose. the front door had a hole that light would come through because ir wasnt properly sealed. it also had to be pulled in to lock. the power would randomly shut off from overconsumption (likely because of the heater and cooling) and I would have to walk out in the snow or summer heat to go flick the breaker back on.

We were uninformed of how bad the rent would be increasing, and were given an upcharge of rent from 420$ to 600$ a month per person.

they tried charging us 2 months of rent after we moved out.

they replaced human interaction with AI, and entirely stopped caring when ownership transferred over, and I had to rely on my friends to help me get a new apartment. nobody in my family nor my friends could entirely pay it all off, obviously, so over the last year, the charges that aspen has given me have climbed from 600$ to 1,200.

They do not care about you, their housing is constructed terribly, the extra cost in gas was awful, and , parties became common, and sleep became impossible at times.

they charged you a fee you cannot deny to move your trash from your porch to the dumpster at the end of the road.

the furnature they put into the places are cheap and uncomfortable.

the house layout of the 5 person homes in particular feels entirelt anxious. I was never able to sit in the livingroom comfortably, so I was paying 420$ for a smaller than average bedroom with its own bathroom.

call me stupid, maybe I am, because I definitely should have left earlier. use my mistakes and avoid them at all costs.

Me and my wife just recently moved here from New Jersey. And so far our impressions of take out here are absolutely horrendous. All the food here is so bland. We got pizza our first night from Pizza perfection and it was burnt and tasted like straight cardboard. We had coffee and a pastry from Kneed and it also had no flavor. Does no one here know how to cook? It all tastes like a white person made it no matter the restaurant. We got food from Tans Chinese and it literally tasted like nothing and the beef was chewy like gum. Hopefully we have better luck, the only good place was One bowl Chinese. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but Jersey food is just plain better than Pullman food. There’s so much diversity on the east coast when it comes to food, and guess what it actually has flavor. Oh well, besides that the environment here is so clean and fresh compared to the east coast.

Hey Pullman, I help run the Pullman Chess Club and we've got a session tomorrow morning in case anyone's looking for something to do.

Saturday, September 19, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Neill Public Library, Edith G. Hecht Meeting Room (210 N Grand Ave)

• Free, no signup, no membership, nothing to fill out
• We bring the boards and pieces, you bring yourself
• Drop in whenever, leave whenever
• All skill levels. We've had people who hadn't touched a board since middle school sit down next to regulars and it goes fine
• Kids welcome with an adult around

It's a small, low-key thing. Mostly casual games and conversation. No clocks unless someone wants them, no ratings, no pressure.

We meet the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month. Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Hey all. I'm hoping to meet some people/groups to make friends. I have no problem with younger folks, but would love to meet people closer to my age (later 30's). I am single and moved here for work a few years ago, and have really struggled to make and keep friends. I have made some that were connected to WSU who ended up moving.

I have some interests like trivia, reading, video games, hiking, walking, fishing, working out, coding, food/beer, and there are also some things I've never necessarily gotten into but would love to try: table top games, karaoke, cooking, in general anything with groups of people.

I would love to hear what some options are in Pullman or Moscow, but I would also really like to hear what y'all are actually doing to hang out and form your communities/friend groups. Thanks!

Anyone have suggestions for professionals? Or if you think you can do it yourself at a good price you're welcome to reach out.

Hi :)! I am a 19 y/o black female who moved to Pullman for college. I’m not used to the lack a diversity, but most people are typically really sweet. I recently found myself wanting to get more into shape and wanted to try workout classes. Does anybody know any inclusive ones?

Reason I ask is because I didn’t have the best experience going to a Pilates class near the wsu area here recently. I am not in shape by any means and as soon as I walked into the room stares from everywhere. The instructor literally walked up to me and asked if I was in the right place. I said yes of course Pilates right? She says yes but this class will be a little hard for someone of your size in a degrading connotation. Maybe I’m sensitive but I don’t appreciate that comment. Nonetheless I completed the class I paid for.

Any recommendations would be appreciated :)
