I went to discount tires on December 27, 2017 to have a flat tire repaired and purchase a new tire. I was told they didn't carry the brand tire I wanted to purchase so I ended up having the repaired flat tire placed back on my car but I still purchased a new tire that was placed under my suv as my new spare because the spare I drove in on was beginning to dry rot and needed to be discarded. On January 23, 2018 I noticed that the brand new spare tire I purchased on December 27, 2017 was no longer mounted underneath my vehicle where discount tires has mounted it. Now I have owned my vehicle since August 2010 and this was the very first time I had ever had a flat tire or had need to remove my spare from underneath my car, therefore the roadside assistance technician who removed the spare from underneath my car and placed it on my vehicle and the discount tires technician who mounted the new spare tire back underneath my car are the only times the spare tire has been touched since I've owned my car. I have never had an issue in the seven years that I have owned my car with anyone tampering with my spare tire, I park in my garage at home and right in front of my office at work. When I contacted discount tires at (7051 Fincham Dr Rockford, IL 61108) I spoke to an assistant manager named Bill, I explained the situation to him and he agreed to replace the tire and rim, he said he needed to order the rim because he didn't have a rim, he said it would be a new factory rim and a new tire, the same one I purchased on December 27, 2017. I received a call today from a different assistant manager named Antonio, he called to tell me my tired and rim were in, I explained the matter to him and asked if I can come in any time to have my spare tire mounted or did I have to wait until Bill was in, he said well you can come in any time but It will be best if you wait until Bill is in because he didn't know what was discussed between Bill and I. I told him I'm sure there are some notes or something explaining the situation and I didn't feel I should be inconvenienced any further, I'm already driving without a spare tire in the middle of winter due to negligence on their part and my daily commute is one hour each way, he made it pretty clear to me that he didn't feel that it was any negligence on discount tires part (again I have never had an issue with my spare coming up missing in the seven years I've owned my car, until discount tires remounted it). Antonio went on to be very condescending in his tone as he spoke to me and he never extending any apology to me the customer nor did he extend any customer service in resolving the matter. My conversation with Antonio ended with me having to wait four days until Bill will be in, to get my tire replaced and he also told me if he had spoken to me he would not have replaced the tire and the rim for free, so that is why I need to speak to Bill. I am very unhappy with the service I have received from discount tires in Rockford and to think, I waited at least two hours for the service I received on December 27, 2017 only to have this happen. I wish I could have given a zero star rating. I am going back in on Monday January 29, 2018 to have them replace my missing spare tire, I really hope they don't try to say the tire being missing is not due to any negligence on their part, in order to try to make me pay for a new tire and rim. Another review to come after my return visit to discount tires on January 29th.
