I'm impressed by the level of incompetency and carelessness at this location. F, fail.
Roadtripping from San Diego CA, driving a 2015 Fleetwood Storm Class A RV, noticed my front tires were damaged so I purchased 8 tires (6 RV tires and 2 trailer tires) Michelin 245/70 R19.5. They put the wrong tires on the front of my RV, they installed smaller ones (225/70 R19.5), I had to point it out to the technician and management and correct them on it. The RV tires also call for 120PSI cold 'n they aired up my tires to 85-86PSI. Michelin's RV guidance and standards indicate anything below 90 PSI on an RV tire is considered flat.
They also raised the rear of my RV without chalking the front tires, eliminating the parking break, super dangerous.
There are no checks and balances at this location, the management has very poor communication, no supervision over the technicians. Amateur hour, Bush League. The staff don't care about their customers safety, if they did, they would have communicated that their equipment will only inflate tires to a maximum of 90PSI. If they cared, they would supervise their staff and the staff would double and triple check their work. You had one job, replace my tires and you got that wrong, you put the wrong ones on, wasting a solid hour of your time, and my time. Secondly, you didn't get the tire pressure right, and didn't say anything about it. Your guys gave me a thumbs up and sent me on my way. Thirdly you didn't chalk the tires, so careless and dangerous. Poor management, no supervision, no checks and balances, carelessness. Fix yourself. I'm surprised you got the torque right, 'n didn't strip out my wheel lugs and lug nuts.
I was appreciative that Discount Tire was available in the area and that they were able to source the tires I needed, however, this location gets a fail, 1 star for being screw ups. Replace the management, retrain the staff and technicians and hold your people accountable. A supervisor should provide over the shoulder supervision and guidance and double and triple check their technicians work.
Update - the very next day the store manager did contact me in an attempt to make things right 'n gave me a $700ish refund. I appreciate his efforts, however, if I were to get in an vehicular accident due to their gross incompetence and negligence, the refund is peanuts, all things considered.
Update - Driving west, returning home to San Diego. Drove through Phoenix and as far as Yuma, and my steering wheel, RV windows and RV have been shimmying and shaking the whole way at 55 mph due to improperly balanced tires, wtf, now I got to deal with that. What a nightmare headache. So disappointed and upset. read more
