To commence, the staff committed to delivering and installing the wheels before Thanksgiving. Brian conveyed that your manufacturer sells their dually wheels as four aftermarket and two steel wheels. The aftermarket wheels were received within two weeks and deliberately withheld until after Christmas. Following a complaint and a Google Maps review, the staff offered to procure used steel wheels and deduct the cost from our total. In an effort to allow them an opportunity to rectify the situation, we agreed to this arrangement.
Upon our initial visit to bring in the vehicle, the tires were mounted on the new wheels. Subsequently, we were informed that the lug nuts on the driver's side were of reverse thread. Staff advised that we needed to replace the lug studs on our vehicle. Despite inquiring if they could order left-hand lugs, I ultimately had to source them myself. After the lugs arrived at the store, we were notified that the tires we provided were not rated for our vehicle. Following discussions involving three individuals, Austin, the tire technician, suggested mounting them temporarily to "get us to our next stop," acknowledging a compromise on safety by mounting tires classified as a safety device on our vehicle.
After 4.5 months, they attempted to mount the tires only to discover that 9/16 lug holes were ordered instead of the required 5/8ths. Their proposed solution was for us to incur the cost of having the wheels milled, further prolonging the time and expenses incurred due to staff incompetence. It's important to note that we neither requested nor received a refund. Instead, our deposit was returned, never applied to any contract due to the prolonged resolution time that would have resulted in either paying for wheels never received twice or facing interest on wheels never received.
Furthermore, an attempt was made in-store to persuade me to retract my review by insinuating substance-related concerns, solely based on the presence of a nicotine vaporizer pen. This request was made despite the fact that our concerns were centered around the prolonged and unresolved issues with the service provided.
Following the oversight in ordering 9/16 lug holes instead of the required 5/8ths, I promptly communicated to them that we would no longer be engaging in business with their establishment. I explicitly requested the return of our equipment and sought compensation for the time lost and the suffering endured during this protracted ordeal.
In response, their sole offer was a refund. It is essential to highlight that a refund, in this case, is insufficient, considering the possibility that they never utilized the funds for any purpose, essentially holding our money without providing the agreed-upon services. Expressing dissatisfaction with this proposal, I insisted on the return of our equipment and requested appropriate compensation.
In an attempt to dissuade us from pursuing a different course of action, they resorted to manipulative tactics, exploiting my partner's anxiety in-store to coerce the return of our money and the lug nuts. To reiterate, I made it clear to Zach, the area or district manager, that such a resolution was not satisfactory, emphasizing the need for a more equitable resolution that addresses the substantial inconvenience and distress caused by their actions. read more
