| - Was it cause I'm a girl? Hope not.
I'm always hesitant to get automotive stuff done on my own. I'd like to think that taking advantage of the ladies and their car troubles is a thing of the past, but after my experience here, I can't help but think otherwise.
Literally within minutes of walking in to seek help on a single tire that was losing air, I was told everything that was wrong with all of my other tires, and that I was going to need a new set if I didn't want to risk a blowout, AND that it was going to cost me $400+ to do it.
Ok, fine. Appreciate the tip. But can you take my car into the garage and at least look it over first? I prefer to do my research, and am already a little distrusting considering it only took seconds to be told that I was going to need to spend tons more than what I walked in intending. And maybe it's true that I did need new tires, but I think there's an art to sales and service, and this sir most certainly did not have it.
So, I told him I would think about it, but that I would like the tire I came in for fixed to ensure safety in the meantime. After an hour and a half of waiting across the street, I came back to a car that had yet to be seen. I complain, they take it back. Tell me it cannot be repaired and that for whatever reason they can't even put my donut on (something about my brakes being too big?) Sounded bogus to me, but regardless, I left over 2 hours later in the same predicament as I arrived. Maybe worse, because I was so highly disturbed and disappointed by my dealings here. I guess maybe if I had blindly agreed to purchase anything they asked of me as soon as I arrived they would of been a little nicer? Happy to say I bought a new set somewhere so much better. No more "Discount" Tire for me.
