*** DO NOT GO HERE; OWNER QUOTED ME $100 TO FIX A FLAT!!!***…read moreEncountering a rumble of nose on my way to work
& my api sensor popped on...I got out my car to notice my air was fastly seeping.
Instead of waiting for roadside service, thought I would hurry down to this neighborhood tire shop.
Upon arriving around 8:38am, since the tire shop was closed I went inside the gas station which is attached to the tire shop...to ask what time the Tire Shop opens?
Guy behind the counter said, the owner opens up at 9:30-10am and the 2nd gas station guy said between 10-10:30am.
I went back to my car & sat in my vehicle to wait for the owner to come open up the shop.
At 9:45am the owner arrives, as he was about to pass my vehicle I asked was he the owner of the shop and he replied, Yes.
I happily clapped with excitement in hopes that he can get me back rolling quickly and I could be on my way to work.
Sadly, the service here was not up to par...before the guy even looked at my tire...he came to my window & asked "What can I do for you?"
I said o have a flat & pointed to the tire with the objective in it that he needed to look at. He immediately, said, "That will be $60!"
In my head, I was like...well dang, you didn't even look at the tire. I was like ok, whatever I have to get to work so, I would if paid it.
I got out the car, walked around car & he looked didn't see it so, I pointed to the object after he took the tire off.
He again, immediately said, "That's going to be $100!"
Shocked...I just knew he did not go from $60 then upped it to $100 TO FIX A FLAT!!!!
I was like if he think I'm a dummy to pay $100 to fix a flat he's crazy!
I said, well how much to put my spare on, he said $15. I said put my spare on!
He put my spare on and I manage to go to Discount Tires where I purchased my set from.
How about Discount Tires told me...this tire could not be fixed & it wasn't safe for them to repair it because, it would take long for the air to go out or worst!
They recommend I get a new tire & they offered $66 toward a $122 tire.
Now you you the owner of this shop should be a shame of himself for:
1.) Attempting to get over on a lady (or any customer for that thought)
2.) Putting my life and vehicle at risk for telling me he could fix a flat for $100
If this is the type of business you are offering we don't need your business serving us!
Again, if you need a tire shop you may not want to go here if he charges $100 to fix a flat! I bought a brand new tire for $122 from Discount Tires (as a matter of fact I ended up just getting a whole set of tires). If to fix a flat is $100...then dang...how much for a new dang tire...$450?????
