Came in because one of my tires lost a battle to a nail. Didn't make an appointment and came in…read moreafter pep boys said they were too busy. Carlos saw that I rode in on a donut tire and got me in quickly. After my tire was replaced Sean educated me that they checked my other 3 tires and wanted to just let me know that they were getting close to bald. Sean mentioned a buy 3 get 1 free deal for new tires. At first I wanted just the one but he gave me an estimate of the mileage left on my other tires and I felt like his idea was out of the best interest of my vehicle; not like how other places throw random things like air filter and windshield wiper replacement for a gouged price. This place rocks. Genuine people, very friendly and professional customer service, and efficient work! If you're limping on a donut tire come here for a solid deal and solid people!

I'm only giving 1 star because zero or minus stars are not available. I first bought 4 new tires at…read morethis facility in 2023, which seemed to be a positive experience. Going forward, everything after the initial encounter has been negative. Six months after my initial purchase, I had a road hazard damage incident. I had kept a used tire from my initial 4 tire purchase as it was my intention to have a full size spare in my trunk to eliminate having my car towed. My insurance replaced the rim, which I took and had a tire in this same facility put a tire on. They put a 91T tire on the rim as opposed to the 91H tire that was the tire rating for the 4 tires that I had purchased there 6 months prior. They even included a sticker on my receipt indicating that they were well aware of the fact that they were putting the wrong tire on the rim....correct size.....wrong rating. Continuing to my next encounter, another road hazard, because driving on the 10 is a hazard of its own. I purchased 2 tires, and had requested that a tire pressure monitoring sensor be put on the rim that had been replaced. I also requested that the damaged rim which was now on my car as a result of the road hazard damage, have the one tire bought at the same time as the damaged one, be put on the damaged rim, and it be placed in my truck as the spare. Well, I guess you need to put your request in writing, because I ended up with a new tire on the damaged rim that was then left on my car, and the new rim with an older tire in my trunk, still without a tire pressure monitoring sensor which was my understanding that I was paying for along with 2 new tires. Needless to say, the next flat tire incident, I the come to find out, when I had put my spare on my care, in fact still did not have a pressure monitoring sensor on it. When I checked my receipt, the charge on my receipt indicated a TPMS kit, which was NOT what I had requested and believed that the $343.46 for 2 tire and a TPMS was what I had paid for. I have been treated in a very condescending way in every situation by this facility including my initial attempt to have a tire put on a rim that I use for a spare and the man at the counter told me that the spare would be a donut wheel, not a full size rim, as if I have no idea what I was talking about. He indicated that we needed to go take a look first before he gave me a quote. I am a female, not a stupid one. I know what's in my trunk. My most recent encounter, I picked up a hex bolt on the 10, and had to have the tire replaced. I dropped the tire off. It had road hazard warranty on it, but it cost me $141.48. I dropped the tire off, as I had a couple of errands to run. I was gone for about an hour, when I came back, the tire wasn't ready, but I simply waited. When the tire was finished, he asked for my keys, which I was not inclined to grant him, this place has proven NOT trustworthy to me, and I simply needed the tire placed in my trunk. I drove up, and he placed the tire in my trunk All of that was on October 8. On October 25, I picked up a roofing nail in my rear tire, which was a slow leak, but I can change my tire. I'm enclosing pictures of the tire that I pulled out of my trunk that night when I got home. To say that I was shocked is an understatement. I'm furious that I've spent my money in this facility on multiple occasions and this was the tire that I pulled out of my trunk after all of the other incidents that I've experienced there because I WANT Firestone tires on my car. As if all of this was not bad enough, the tire also had 39lbs of pressure in it for a car that is rated for 33lbs, as if they think stupid girl won't know. I check my tire pressure regularly, I have my tires rotated as part of my maintenance for life that I have with my car. I'm educated, and I maintain my vehicle. I went to the store yesterday and spoke with Konrad. I asked him for an explanation for the appearance of the tire. His reply was that it was their policy to make sure the tire is clean before placing it in a truck and that they had recently terminated a technician. I then asked how it was that there was 39lbs of pressure in the tire. He had no answer other than to request my info and his manager, who was in a meeting, would contact me. Be clear, if the stuff that I've encountered at this facility is going on, they AREN"T solving any kind of problems here. I don't want them to do anything to my car or my tires as they've made clear their poor management and full disregard for people, particularly women. I did let Konrad know that I am leaving that tire on my car, looking just as it was when I pulled it out of my trunk. I will be doing some free advertising for them, because when someone asks me about what is up with that tire, I am going to let them know that that's what you get for $141.48 at the Firestone on Ina and Thornydale. I thanked Konrad for his time and apology, which meant very little to me, as he was the one who put the tire in my trunk
