Before getting down to the review I just want to say that I used to recommend this business to friends but after my recent experiences with this business I will never be going back.
I went to Town Fair Tire last January looking for tires for my Honda. Before going to the store I had done research online about what tires were recommended on enthusiast forums, checked some reviews an Tirerack.com and felt that I had narrowed my search to a few good options.
After gathering this information I called Town Fair to see if they had any of the tires that had made my short list and they said they had four tires in the correct size for my car in my first choice tire. Yeah! I was very happy that my first call in searching for the tires I chose was a success, so I drove down to Westfield (I live in the hilltowns 20 miles outside of Westfield, a 40 minute drive).
When I arrived the first salesperson I encountered kept trying to steer me away from the tires I had called about. When I stuck to my guns I was informed that they did not in fact have them in stock but they could order them and they would be there by 11am the next day (Saturday), so I agreed to come back the next day (another 40 minute drive each way).
When I arrived the next day no one in the store knew anything about the tires I ordered until I got to the manager who after several minutes of trying, again, to sell me something I clearly stated I didn't want. Eventually told me that the wrong tires were ordered, but that the ones that came in were good tires with a higher list price then the ones I ordered and that they would charge me the price of the original tires.
Naively I agreed, and let me just say the tires I got were horrendous. When i went back only 6 months later with a flat I was informed that the road hazard replacement that had been included with every single tire I had purchased here before had been stopped and that I should have asked for the coverage (at an extra $15 per tire) if I had wanted it.
This road hazard guarantee was the main reasons I had previously recommended this business so I was very unhappy about this turn of events, but resigned myself to purchasing another tire.
Last week I got another flat tire (these are the ONLY two flat tires I have ever had in over 25 years of driving, both on these same tires) and returned to Town Fair to replace it. On arrival I showed the guy the damage, and asked how long the wait was, I was told 30-45 minutes, that all bays were full now but that no one was waiting and mine would be the next car to be worked on.
An hour later I inquired if my car was ready or could I get a revised estimate, and was told they were working on it now. I went back to the waiting room for another hour before going outside to take a call, and what did I see but my car sitting outside the garage. I went back in to see if it was ready and was told yes it was, when I complained about the delay the manager (the same person who told me 30-45 minutes said "well we have been running over two hours all day so I should be happy with having mine done in only an hour and a half" when I asked why I had not been informed that me car was finished and spent an extra half hour in the waiting room, the manager became visibly angry and stated "well I'm sorry but what do you want ME to do about it". At this point I just walked out.
Needless to say I will never return here and would advise you to follow suit.
TL;DR- Horrible service, bait and switch tactics, and outright lies are what you can expect if you do business here. read more
