This
place
needs
to
train
its
front
desk
employees
to
be
more
thorough
in
their
communication
and
to
review
their
SOPs
for
techs.
I
had
an
awful
experience
here
and
would
highly
NOT
recommend.
Full
disclosure:
I
knew
very
little
about
tires
before
this
incident.
I
damaged
one
of
my
tires
and
measured
the
tread
depth
with
a
ruler
at
6/32".
After
calling
around
a
few
places,
I
was
told
that
since
I
have
an
AWD
vehicle,
I
need
to
either
find
a
tire
with
similar
tread
depth/pattern
or
replace
all
4.
Otherwise,
1
brand
new
tire
could
cause
serious
problems
over
time.
I
discovered
the
last
place
I
bought
tires
was
out
of
business,
no
used
tire
shops
in
the
area
had
the
tread
depth/pattern/size
I
needed,
and
for
a
new
set,
NTB
had
the
best
offer
with
$170
in
mail-in
rebates.
The
NTB
near
me
didn't
have
4
tires
in
the
size
I
needed,
so
they
referred
me
to
this
location.
When
I
arrived,
they
were
very
busy.
There
was
just
one
older
man
covering
the
front
desk,
phone
was
ringing,
and
there
was
a
line
of
customers
waiting.
When
I
finally
got
to
the
register,
the
receipt
printed
out
for
me
to
sign
was
$150
more
than
what
I
had
been
quoted
over
the
phone,
with
no
mention
of
the
rebates--the
man
had
automatically
signed
me
up
for
several
of
NTB's
life-of-tire
programs.
I
asked
them
to
be
removed,
but
the
man
insisted
I
get
at
least
their
base
plan,
adding
an
extra
$30.
He
printed
out
another
receipt
with
it
included
and
I
just
signed
it.
I
asked
him
about
the
rebates
(thankfully
I'd
been
told
about
these
over
the
phone)
and
he
gave
me
papers
to
register.
Two
hours
later
my
car
was
ready,
but
the
man
at
the
front
desk
told
me
the
tech
who
does
their
alignments
already
left
for
the
day,
so
I
could
come
back
to
have
that
done
at
a
later
date.
I
requested
to
keep
my
old
tires
so
I
could
sell
them,
but
given
that
most
tires
need
replaced
around
4/32",
I
figured
they
wouldn't
be
worth
much.
Fast
forward
a
few
weeks:
I
discovered
I
was
only
eligible
for
$120
in
mail-in
rebates
(you
had
to
spend
$800
on
tires
alone
and
I
didn't
reach
that)--first
false
promise.
Secondly,
I
bought
a
tire
tread
depth
gauge
from
Auto
Zone
to
double
check
how
much
my
tires
were
worth
and
measured
the
old
tires
at
9/32"!
All
3
almost
brand
new,
barely
worn,
and
certainly
fine
to
replace
just
the
1
tire...
I
was
so
frustrated.
I
called
and
spoke
with
the
manager
about
what
had
happened.
He
apologized
that
they
didn't
catch
the
tread
or
rebate,
but
said
he
wouldn't
be
able
to
refund
me
or
process
any
sort
of
return.
He
told
me
to
come
in
during
his
work
hours
the
following
day
for
the
alignment
and
he
would
give
me
some
coupons.
I
came
in
the
next
day,
and
the
manager
called
over
the
older
gentleman
who
had
waited
on
me
the
night
I
bought
my
tires.
He
proceeded
to
berate
him
in
front
of
me
while
taking
no
accountability
for
the
mistake
himself.
It
was
very
awkward
and
very
poor
leadership/professionalism.
He
then
took
out
a
business
card
and
wrote
"free
oil
change,
tire
rotation,
wiper
blades"
on
the
back
of
it
(even
though
free
tire
rotations
were
included
in
the
$30
base
plan
that
I'd
already
purchased).
He
told
me
the
oil
change
was
a
$100+
value,
saying
they
could
do
full
synthetic,
which
I
appreciate
but
have
never
gotten
before,
I
don't
even
know
if
my
car
would
take
that
type
of
oil,
and
am
generally
fine
with
the
standard
$50
oil
change
+
tire
rotation
from
the
dealership
near
my
house.
At
least
it
was
some
effort.
I
had
to
come
back
for
the
alignment
a
few
hours
later
(an
inconvenience
since
this
is
on
the
other
side
of
town,
adding
another
1.5
hours
of
driving).
Again
the
older
gentleman
at
the
front
desk
prints
out
a
receipt
for
me
to
sign--$100
for
the
alignment.
I
said
I
thought
it
was
included
in
the
purchase
of
my
4
tires.
He
tells
me
only
an
alignment
CHECK
was
included
(OMG!!!).
I
refused
the
check,
grabbed
my
keys
and
walked
out.
Bottom
line:
This
place
is
a
hot
mess,
does
not
have
customers'
best
interest
at
heart,
and
will
nickel
and
dime
you
to
death.
Do
not
go
here.
