Please review the following:
I have been a Mr. Tire customer for quite a while. The level of customer service is greatly lacking in my situation, that is prompting me to communicate to you today. I had my car towed to the Mr Tire at 5545 Baltimore National Pike, Catonsville MD 21228, and arrived at 4pm on Saturday 10/14/23. I selected a tire and was having lunch waiting for them to finish, I was told it would be an hour and a half. While having lunch, I decided to call them to make sure I told them about the flat tire in the bed of my truck. Upon connecting the service person told me that the Tech had a family emergency, and they could not complete my car today. I said to the service person, I was just calling you to remind you of the flat tire in the bed of my truck. She said yes and moved on to tell me it was not going to be fixed until Monday as they are closed on Sunday. At this point I am already an hour late for work. I asked if there was another tech who could do the work. The service person told me she already checked and no. So now not only do I not get my truck back to go to work, I am now forced to pay for other means. There was no offer to help, tow to another store or acknowledgement of the inconvenience and expense this is now costing me to find alternate transportation until Monday.
Monday comes and I am expecting a call from Mr. Tire, I also need to let an Area or District manager know of what I am going through. I call the other Mr Tire in catonsville to try and find a contact and was told that the Manager is new, they don't have his phone number, they can only e-mail and hope he contacts them. Not confident with this answer but I let it go. I wait and hour, when I did not hear back I called again. The gentleman I spoke to told me that he would see what he could do about finding them and he would call me back. Again, not confident in this answer. I wait again for an hour and a half. I call the store in Ellicott City, I spoke to Marissa, told her my story and she offered to contact the Mr Tire where my Truck is, to try and help. I assume she calls because I get a call from the Mr Tire who has my truck and they tell me its ready and I can come pick it up. Again, no acknowledgement or apology from the service person. I call Marissa back and thanked her for her help but I really needed to speak to some type of distric manager who can assist. She gave me the customer service number to which I called. Cant remember the agent I spoke to but she was very nice. She told me she would have the Area Manager(forgot the tittle) called Armondo get in contact with me or someone on his staff. As of this notice I still have not heard from them. After picking up my truck I went back to my apartment to get my bags for work. When I came back out to the truck, I looked in the bed out of curiosity. Sure enough, the flat tire I told them about is still in the bed. They replaced the original flat and replaced a tire that had nothing wrong with it but some wear. Tuesday morning I call customer service. Asked the woman if they documented phone calls, she said they do and proceeded to tell me what was documented. I asked her to escalate this to her manager. SH told me she could and put me on hold. After a couple of minutes I get transferred to what I assume is the managers voice mail. I leave a message, hang up and call back. This time the agent got me a Manager Mackenzie. AT first Mackenzie offered me a refund so that I can now buy the new tire again for the other one. I asked instead of going through all that I f I could get my tire replaced and just go to the store. Mackenzie thought I didn't want to go back which was why he was offering. I said no I'll go back, I was very cordial in dealing with them. Even at the point where they did not call or communicate next steps to me the day they told me my truck should be ready. I thank Mackenzie and then call the Mr tire to make an appointment for Saturday at 8:10am. The service person I spoke to (same one mind you, same lack of customer service focus) told me that I didn't tell her about the tire in the bed and I corrected her and told her I thought I had told you initially but also told you when I called you back that Saturday. I then proceeded to tell her just schedule me for Saturday with your earliest appointment.
Multiple failures, multiple errors not to mention the expense put out to get back and forth to work. read more
