SCAMMER! I would recommend you find another tire shop if you don't want to get scammed and screwed over by the owner.
I visited this tire shop 3 weeks ago, due to a low tire pressure reading on my dashboard. I figured my tire just needed air but wanted to double check there were no leaks or nails embedded prior to just adding air to the tire.
When I pulled up, the owner/worker came out and asked how he can help. I explained my psi read low for the left driver side tire and if he can check if there were any issues.
He proceeded to remove the tire, roll it to the door, glance at it and walk back to my car to give me some shocking news. The news was that my tire was sliced and needed to be replaced due to me hitting a pothole.
I laughed for two reasons, the assumption of me hitting a pothole without me ever saying I hit anything and two he looked at my tire for all of 15 sec before coming to this conclusion.
His conclusion of a sliced tire lead him to tell me he will sell me a new tire that wasn't my same brand for $165. He also stated my tires brand cost $250-300 but will give me a discount because he didn't have my brand tire.
I was on the phone with my boyfriend and we both laughed. I told him to put my tire back on my car and he did. He charged me $15 and I left with the intentions of getting a second opinion from another tire shop.
I parked and left the car overnight. To my surprise the next morning the tire was NOT flat lol. Surely if my tire had been sliced it would had been flat the next morning but it wasn't.
The dashboard low psi reading was also gone but I assume he filled the tire with air for this to be corrected.
I proceeded to drive to another tire shop for a second opinion. NOT to my surprise THE GENTLEMAN at this new tire shop said he checked it and there were no issue aside from my tire being over filled with air. This new tire shop checked my door to make sure he readjusted all tires to the recommended psi and ensured me my tires were in very good condition without no leaks, slices or nails embedded.
Fast forward 3 weeks later, my tire is perfect. All I needed was air.
It angered me so much to have almost been scammed I called that first tire shop the same day. The owner denied trying to scam me out of a perfectly good tire (mines) and selling me his off brand tire. He stated I do have a sliced tire and stood by his story.
I have to laugh because here I am 3 weeks later, with perfectly good tires and with no slice.
My conclusion, he does this often especially to females he thinks he can get over on. If you're looking for a good/honorable tire shop. SKIP THIS ONE! He almost scammed me out of my tire and $165. Shame on him! read more
