We have taken 3 work trucks in recently for new tires. We have one more vehicle to return with but I highly doubt we will return after this fiasco.
We first began by calling around for the best price. The gentleman on the phone was great and suggested a new-to-us tire that actually was a bit cheaper than we usually spend. We decide to give it a shot. We place an order for 12 of these tires to be ordered and held, pay the $25 deposit and schedule our appointment.
We are 45 minutes away from Discount Tire...
Vehicle #1 - We show up to our first appointment - they can only find 3 of 4 tires. We schedule an appointment to return AND we get a receipt showing the total for all THREE trucks. The gentleman had graciously offered us a discount due to the hassle of having to come back. Thankfully we got a receipt of this...you will find out why later on.
We return for the second appointment for the first vehicle and have the tires installed and we are on our way.
Vehicle #2 - We show up, tires are installed. We did not bring the receipt with us as we didn't expect to need it but they say they see no discount on our account. After a little while, the gentleman offers $50 off. We pay and inform them that we will bring the receipt with the next vehicle to show the discount owed to us.
Vehicle #3 - We show up to our scheduled appointment. Mind you they have informed us that all tires are in (but they also did for Vehicle #1 as well). Would you be surprised to find out they can only find 3/4 tires? Believe me, I was too. Well to top it off - they were unaware that they only had 3 tires until AFTER removing all 4 of my tires. So, they put the 2 new tires on the front of the vehicle and put my old ones back on the back. They then put the third tire in the back of the truck so they did not lose it. You can't make this stuff up!! At this point, we are extremely frustrated for now having WASTED two separate trips for the same issue!! While we are here, we show them the receipt that showed the price we would be out the door for ALL THREE vehicles after the initial gentleman offered us a discount for their first issue. Even with the proof in their hands, they still "have no clue how we would get that price"...and on top of that - they were not even crediting the $25 deposit we were REQUIRED to pay.
We leave and are told that they will contact us when the last tire is in - estimated 1-2 days. NOBODY calls so we call them 3 days later. After attempting literally for hours (phone rings and rings - replaying their greeting), someone answered (Anthony). He assures us he will look into this and return our call by 6 pm that day. Of course, no returned call. So, we call the next day and speak to someone else (Mike) - who AGAIN assures us he will call us back after he does some research. No surprise here BUT again, no returned call. So, we decided to show up the following day. They magically have our last tire - install it and we are on our way!
Let me say - I am a pretty understanding person (I am a manager - I get that mistakes happen) especially now due to Covid delays AND I know they are busy with people getting their snow tires on...but even just a LITTLE follow-through would have made this experience better and I might not have felt the need to leave a review. We felt like they were irritated with us everytime we called - the only one who has the right to be irritated here is ME! We have one more vehicle and honestly - I'd rather pay more to go elsewhere than to deal with them again. I can understand showing up for 1 appointment and they have mistakenly lost a tire....but a second time that this happens? If my employees ran my business this way - they would no longer be my employees. read more
