I had problems with Tires plus in Mandarin with the manager Steve who sold me tires which were old as new, who got rid of my old tires within a day so that I was stuck with him and who also forged my signature on the repair order without my consent and when I dropped off and picked up my car both in person, therefore I paid in person too. This was April 2023.
Today, July 28th 2024 I had a problem with Ron at this location in US1 St Augustine. I came in yesterday with my passenger front tire completely flat and Ron confirmed both, yesterday and today, that my tire is defective, meaning it had no nail, no puncture. The inside of the tire had the rubber coming off the rim and I could have killed myself if that tire would have completely come off while driving. Yet Ron quoted me $259 to replace my tire because I drove it one year, he didn't care he was telling me it is a defective tire , he quoted me a higher price than a new tire, based on what I paid and based on another tire store in the neighborhood, for the same tire.
Ron also argued with me and was disrespectful and had a very unfriendly attitude with everyone since I got there, I guess customers get punished for them being understaffed. At some point into the argument and almost 2 hours later he offered me to replace the tire for free and said he was also going to change my oil . When I told him that I only wanted to wait for my tire and I didn't wanna have any further work with them , he got furious and came back within 15 minutes later to tell me that his manager told him that he could not replace my tire for free because it was against their policy, after he had offered it, he said: Well I was wrong and he didn't care. I asked to see said policy in writing and he said he didn't have anything to show me because it was not Road Hazard and I said: That's right it's not road hazard!! It's a defective tire and he still didn't wanna give me anything in writing so I had to call the Police and 3 hours later I left with the same spare tire because he also would not allow me to speak to his manager. Get ready for the end!!! As we were getting to leave my man asked him to brake down the charges of $259 and he stuttered and tried to sell it was taxes after $130 he was really charging me and we said: There's no freaking way we can be paying over $120 in taxes and he stuttered some more and said: Well, I really could have taken this and this off and charge you $190 something or $211, I'm not sure what he really said because I couldn't really understand what
he said neither did I care .
I will not come back to Tires Plus even if they were giving tires for free. read more
