RIP OFF ATTEMPT - LIARS AND THIEVES
Reeds Tire tried to rip me off on 8/22/23 when I took my car in for inspection.
- Not only did they keep me waiting for 2 hours, but they then told me and everyone else in the room that the inspection would fail because the brakes were shot, and would cost over $800 to replace.
- They also asked when my last inspection was - suggesting to the crowd that I'm driving a death threatening piece of junk illegally.
- The inspection is current of course, because I don't drive risking catastrophies.
- They could've also seen the expiration date on the windshield themselves if they had taken the time to look, instead of scheming for a payout and working to make me look like a deranged ass.
- But they chose to try to strong arm me out of a lot of money, with a dish of embarrassment on the side, and they lost.
- I did not have any reason whatsoever to believe there was a problem with my brakes, and told them I would have to return another day.
- Instead of a pass/fail certificate, I received a "safety check" document.
- The reason being, I suspect, is because the only inspection that took place was to their financial benefit in how to rob me.
- And a "Safety Check" lacks detection by state officials because it is not reportable to the State or DMV.
- Thus, they're off the hook and a whole bunch richer, because you can bet I'm not the first player in their game.
--- I ultimately took my car into another inspection station a few days later, and passed with flying colors - and no mention of brake concerns.
- I'm elated that the car passed inspection as I thoroughly expected it would, but I'm also pissed to know that I was targeted by Reeds to be out several hundred dollars for unnecessary repairs, and a hopeful victim to their scam.
- I also wasted a lot of time, and I'm aware - not just suspicious - that this not an isolated incident at Reeds Tire. I expect that they're constantly surveying their waiting room prey for money gouging victims.
- Just sickening and shocking, so please be warned. read more
