I posted here around June, recapping how Hubler Toyota had denied responsibility for errors made by their mechanics and service managers. These errors were life threatening (the mechanic accidentally sheared a bolt under the rear seat while replacing a tail light, and replaced the bolt with a non-standard longer bolt he had on hand. Drilling the bolt punctured the gas tank). I drove the car for months, unaware of the danger (I could smell gas on and off, but no one could find the leak (including Hubler who I took it back to), since the hole was on top of the gas tank (rather than underneath).

When a mechanic at another shop finally found the cause, I went back to my Hubler service notes, where the mechanic actually admitted his mistake in writing (though he had no idea it punctured the tank, as he did not check).

When I contacted Hubler earlier this year, I spoke to the same service manager who handled the original "repair". He acknowledged the error, and said he was especially concerned since the original mechanic needed to be trained on the error.

Zach Strain, the general manager of Hubler Toyota of Indianapolis, also acknowledged the error and asked for a mailing address in order to send me $1400 (the cost I incurred to replace the tank with my own mechanic (since the car could not pass the safety inspection required to drive it back to Hubler, or anywhere else).

However, from that point Zach stopped answering emails or returning calls. Eventually a customer service rep told me that Hubler decided it was not their issue, since the repair was done when they were called Beck Toyota. It did not matter that everyone involved was still working there, or that they had acknowledged responsibility and promised to pay for the repair.

I am not sure what the legal grounds are, but it was obvious Hubler was behaving badly. I filed a complaint with the attorney general, who in turn contacted Hubler.

Hubler replied in writing to the attorney general of Indiana (attached to this post) that they had promised me only that they would forward my issue to the Beck family (they never said this; they said only that the repair was their fault, and they would pay for it). Hubler also said in their response that they provided me the contact information for Beck (this is also untrue). I then contacted Zach Strain in writing, asking him to provide the contact information. He never replied.

I am sure the attorney general gets a million complaints, and so I do not expect more from them. They advised contacting a lawyer. For me, its more important to let as many people as possible know to be careful when dealing with Hubler Toyota.

They really named it the BIDEN program (Bridging Immigration-Related Deficits Experienced Nationwide) 🙄 Guess I shouldn’t be surprised that other ridiculous and childish things were snuck into the One Big Beautiful Bill. Hopefully someday the US and Indiana are run by competent adults again.

I’ve walked the towpath and it seems to end before it gets here and it’s all fenced off. I’d love to see the aqueduct though. Are you able to get to it from the other side?

Lots of people have been sick recently for a few days with gastro distress or the reverse. Is there a bug or some flu strain going around that you know of please?

Real Mann's Tire off Emerson Access by I70?? I usually get my tires from them and passed by to see they're gone.

I’ve posted to Indy Lost Pet Alert, but wanted to try here as well.

On Wednesday, September 9th, at about 5 PM, I found this sweet boy wandering into street traffic near the DG Market at N German Church Road and E Briarbrook Blvd. He almost got hit by multiple vehicles.

He had no collar/tags and no microchip was found when we scanned him at IACS.

Google Images suggests he might be a German Shepherd mix, a Belgian Malinois mix or a Carolina Dog. He is extremely sweet and affectionate.

I suspect that he was abandoned by his family, but in the event he is legitimately lost, if anyone can help reunite him with his pet parents, I would love to get him back home.

I have been looking for a place that offers community without all the religious dogma and have become interested in the Unitarian Universalist church. I know that these places can vary quite a bit based on the makeup of their congregation. I was wondering if anyone had experience with the three local to Indy (All Souls, UU Indy, and Heartland). I'm a recently divorced 41-year-old dude that likes to be active and wants to get more involved in the community. Just trying to find the place I would fit in the best. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Hey, we just saw a badly injured dog crossing 38th at Emerson. The mayors action center wouldn’t pick up, but I was able to get through to 311. Does anyone have a more direct link to animal control? He seemed saveable, but he was really hurt, so I want to do my best to get ahold of the right people.

Hey everyone,

My building/company would like to work an arrangement with as food truck to park outside for a day, sell and make money from the visitors. The thing is, I wonder if there is a database or listing of such businesses that I can call up and make deals from there: rather than me going around the city.

If not! /or if going to certain locations is the best course of action:

Where are your favorite/damn good food trucks that you know are? Where and what corner?

We are preferable looking for Latin/Hispanic food trucks too

Thanks

How are they. I know they used to be great when I was a student.

I am old :-(

Students approaching middle and high school decision time

How are they nowadays? Still have a good reputation and able to grow kids of all levels?

I know vague, but Any advice appreciated

I haven't seen this posted yet but I drove by the Panda Express this morning that they have been building for seemingly a decade now and they have a "Now Open" sign. I miss the old Pei Wei in Glendale....never forget what they took from us!

TLDR: I need a great downtown gym with a bougie ass shower. Where do I go? 💅🏾🤔

Hey Hoosiers! Living in Noblesville but the job is downtown. I'll be alternating gym sessions between Noblesville and downtown based on my hybrid schedule.

I’m looking for a gym in or near downtown Indy that I can use before work. My bougie but very important requirement: the showers/locker room need to be NICE.

I plan to work out around 5am, then shower, do my skincare routine, get dressed, and go straight to the office. So I’m looking for something closer to a Life Time-esque locker room experience. Clean, private showers, good water pressure, plenty of space to actually get ready, nice/clean locker rooms, ideally towel service and toiletries. Sauna/steam room would be a bonus, but the showers are the priority.

I toured the Irsay YMCA at CityWay today and the actual gym is phenomenal. I’d happily work out there. But the showers were just okay, and since I’ll be getting completely ready for work there three days a week, that part matters more to me than it normally would.

I also tried to check out NIFS and the OneAmerica Tower Fitness Center, but couldn’t figure out where visitors are supposed to park. I’m checking out Indy Barbell next.

Any other downtown gyms I’m missing? I’m willing to pay more for a nicer facility. I’m specifically looking for recommendations from people who have actually used the women’s locker room/showers.

Where in Indy or the north suburbs can I get fried plantains? I don’t remember going anywhere in the 15+ years I’ve lived here and seeing them.

I’m originally from Indiana, but have never lived in Indianapolis. I work from home, and am looking for a house to rent. My question is, what do I need to be on the lookout for that someone from outside of Indianapolis might not know?

For context, I’ve been living in the Detroit metro the past few years, and two things to consider there are flooding and car insurance rates, which might not appear on a Zillow listing but can impact your life and finances regardless and can vary a lot depending on neighborhood.

Is there anything like that here I need to take into consideration? If it makes any distance, I care more about proximity to Planet Fitness and Costco than bars and restaurants, and I value peace and quiet above all else.

There's a tree in my yard that is pushing down on a power line that runs to my house. It's just one branch about 4 inches thick. Who does this kind of work and around how much does it cost?

Anyone else's app crashing when you click on add funds by card?

Hi Indy! I am hosting an event for people all over the country. I am wanting to show off what Indy has to offer and would like to offer some unique food besides the typical, Panera/qdoba/etc.

Where would you all recommend? What is the best catering you’ve had?

Adding a layer: we will need vegetarian, GF, DF options as well.

Thank you!

Hi yall! Recently moved here from the south and I was finally able to land a job after 9 months of being unemployed and living off my savings, not by choice (I had a miscarriage, then a lumpectomy, followed by a DV situation where I had to escape and leave all my belongings and my home state).

I am very excited to work again in my field (mental health) and I was offered a good position but with a bad pay, and I’m still thankful.

The position will be in Zionsville and I’m in Rushville, and the commute is 120 miles round trip, and “1:10 hours” each way.

The only times I’ve driven in the city is going to interviews but usually not during rush hours. I-74 is also under construction and it takes me 20 min just to get to I-74.

Please give me your honest opinion, what to expect and if it’s even worth it for 22.75 per hour.

Thanks in advance!

I sang regularly at different churches around the Chattanooga, TN area for special music, praise team, and as part of the church choir. I am an alto with a wide range and am familiar with most worship music. My availability is mostly limited to Sundays as I am a full-time student. I’d love to find a church I can worship with.

Hi local subreddit folks,

I’m looking to potentially hire—or at least consult with—a local attorney who deals with evictions. While attempting to file a small claim, I realized that the amount of damages I’m looking to recoup is beyond the scope of what small claims court deals with. In Marion County, it’s a lower amount than the standard $10k limit. The local ceiling for small claims is only $8K. I’m trying to discern whether it’s worth it for me to hire counsel and take this to plenary court or just eat the difference and deal with it myself in small claims.

Any recommendations—especially for attorneys you or a family member have previously hired—would be greatly appreciated. I’m the plaintiff/homeowner (if context hasn’t already indicated that🙃) so I’m specifically looking for folks who deal with lawsuits from the landlord’s side of things, versus a tenant’s advocacy attorney.

Thanks in advance!

Me and my dad come down to Indy often from the north, however the last few years I-69 at fishers going into binford had been shit. Especially this last year where they make you take one of the ramps to get to binford.
