On Friday 03/29/2013 because PepBoys Auto Repair reschedule my 9:00 AM wheels alignment service appointment to 11:00 AM, I decided to go to BigoTires for an early appointment, despite BigoTires charges $89.99 (PepBoys charges $69.99) I was agree to do the service with BigOTires. After a few minutes Dalton Payne came back telling me a long story about a defective bad designed nut supporting the driver side strut, that must be replaced in order to adjust and and align the wheels 100 % if not the alignment will not be performed properly and tires will become damaged because of this, and the lug nut must be changed with an additional cost of $50 dollars. I was surprised and ask how come ford Engineers can make that kind of mistake, I said I am going to talk to the dealer and ask about this situation and Dalton said, ford tech support never is going to accept their mistake. Finally I decided do not do the service with BigoTires (they charged me $20.00 for this diagnostic,) because this extra work was very suspicious. They gave me an alignment check copy for the service performed. After this I came back to PepBoys to use my old service appointment praying PepBoys give me the same diagnostic that Bigotires, Unfortunately PepBoys performed the service with any problems and gave me a 100 % alignment, they did not mention any thing about any bad design or replacement of a bad lug nut, the only thing different was instead paying around $140.00 plus taxes I payed to PepBoys $63.00 taxes included after a 15% discount. For sure I am not the only one complaining this kind of bad faith technicians, I know FTC will investigate this issue, I know $20.00 is not a big amount but for sure a lot customers were scammed for this kind of bad practice that some repair shops use to take advantage of customers. Thanks in advance for the time you are giving to this complaint. Jose Solorzano

I did a complaint against this branch no because of the$20.00 but possible they are doing the same to other customers.
