If I could do negative 5 I would. I've had my tires replaced 3 times in a span of 2 years. Every time I would go back it was because a tire was coming off my rim. All times I've had the pleasure of having this happen I was on the highway.
The first time, I pulled off the shoulder seconds before my tire rolled off my car into the middle of the highway. The second time, mind you, 7 months later... my car started shaking on the highway and I knew to pull over. This time I got to see the wear on just my front tires, especially the one that was now loose and off the rim. Again, if I had kept driving along, my tire would have flown off my car on the highway.. They wanted me to replace all 4 tires anyway since winter was coming but when I asked if the tire coming off could have been an issue for it being improperly installed they immediately shut it down and tried to say there was an air bubble in the tire that can only form from me hitting a speed bump... this is not true, improper installation/alignment was confirmed to me later by a third party.
Now, getting the 4 tires was my breaking point with town fair and I did not want them to service my vehicle anymore. Fast forward, less than a year after they put all four tires on and I'm dealing with the same issue. Driving down the highway and my car starts shaking, I pull over. Same issue. 3x driving down the highway... so, I had my spare but on and this time, I brought it somewhere else to have them take a look. I didn't give them background on the situation but they said from looking at the other 3 tires, they could see with the tread patterns that this was due to poor installation/improper alignment. When they saw the tire that was damaged in my trunk from putting the spare on, they confirmed that this wasn't an issue of me hitting something, the tires were not installed properly.
Unfortunately, they third party didn't have the tire I needed so I was able to go in and tell town fair I just wanted to purchase a tire as a "spare", same one. I did not bother to tell them that I am riding on a donut because I did not want them to touch my vehicle. I highly recommend going anywhere else. The person who came to put my spare on the other day had told me he used to work for town fair and said they run a shady business.
Don't fall for their "free alignment" it's free because the alignment will not be done properly. I was also told by that person that town fair hires technicians that aren't even certified, their words, not mine.
Oh, and not for nothing, I did get a quote on 4 new tires with a proper alignment as well as suspension check which would be over $200 cheaper than town fair putting all 4 tires on with their "free" alignment. Save not only your money, but your life.. they make think I'm not serious about that but just think, if I didn't pull over in time and my tire flew off my car, I could be dead.
So thanks for absolutely nothing town fair, especially the way you tried to talk to me like I'm stupid when I questioned your alignment. Just again, got confirmation from third party that it was in fact, 100% an alignment issue. read more
