I was in here two days ago and I have to say, I was not thrilled with my experience. I came in because my front right tire has had a small leak for a few months (dropping from full to tpms triggering low in around 2-3 weeks). I knew the tire was low and was fully anticipating potentially finding out i needed new front tires. I pulled up, had them look at it and obviously they wanted to check my front right tire. Thats all good, and im grateful there is a place where that can be checked for free. They told me it would take at most 40 minutes when i pulled in at 9:30~. I walk in and they start telling me my tread is low and needs replacement. For reference, my vehicle was purchased certified pre owned from Honda with new tires, it has less than 30k miles on it. My tread was fine. They tell me to take a seat and that theyll look the tire over. 30 minutes later they roll it out, tell me they cant find any leaks and that the tire is fine, great! They then start telling me that my "secondary rubber" is showing and that I need to replace them because they can "blow at any time". I told them I'm not interested, my tires were new and that if anything had been wrong I would have replaced them but given that they werent i would rather not. I agreed to have an alignment done because i was due for one. After agreeing to that they are hounding me about changing these tires, again, tires that had no damage they could find or leak, and off a car I've put maybe 5,000 miles on. At this point I've been here for like an hour and some change, I have to get back to work, so I agree to have the front two tires changed out just so I can get out the door. Another 10-20 minutes go by and Im having another tire rolled out to me "this one has secondary rubber showing as well" youll need to change these or they could blowout. I looked at the tech and told him "they are new tires, i dont want new ones, and i cant afford that right now" seemingly ignoring the first half of what i said he replies "well we can put you on a payment plan!" I dont want a payment plan i just wanted my tire inspected? At this point I've been here for almost an hour and a half, they are still hounding me over these tires and my car is literally on their rack while they seemingly wont take no for an answer so I did the wrong thing and caved on getting a full set of their tires.
I came in looking to get my tire looked at, found out it was fine, and still got cornered into an $850 bill for tires I didn't need nor want. Personally I will be taking my business elsewhere in the future. read more
