Im so over discount tire, *rant* Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

In the past ive been happy with their service except I hated guys i went to high school with working on my car and having the privelage to drive it but this time was the last straw


so i went in this morning and told them I had two bridgestones in the hatch that needed to be mounted on the rear wheels and put on the car. THey said well theyre a bit bigger so they may rub. I knew this already so I said thats fine. So after waiting 45 mins for them to get the car in I Start watching their every move. They look at my front left and i go out there and tell them not to worry about the rim lip because its popped out a bit and i know how ot fix it. They say ok to that and they take off the back wheels. I then see them take off my front left and im like WTF. so i asked someone to tell me what htey were doing and they said they didnt know. so finally after 45 mins they say my car is done and i ask them why they took the left front off. They told me it was because one of the rear tires i had on already had more tread so they put it on the front left.

so now im pissed because the two fronts to begin with had the same amount of tread and the one rear that had about 85% tread was to just go back into the hatch so when i have to buy front wheel probably in NOvember I was only gonna have to buy one if i couldnt afford two. So now im rocking 3 brands of tires on my car.

I know they were trying to help but they should have asked me before doing anything more than what was written on the sheet for them to do!

uhhhhhh!!!!!!!!


After realizing what they did I went back and asked them for my pirelli because im going to have them put it on this weekend for no charge!

i have no issues with the discount tire by my house, I usually get free work done there because i go through so many tires and ive also purchased wheels there before (enkei RS-6s). chain stores are funny, some are great, others are horrible... i usually just take stuff there to get mounted/unmounted and i install/uninstall back at my house. ive always felt if you want something done right you might as well do it yourself, even if its something as retardedly simple as wheels and tires.

discount tire I thought was pretty good but idk.

I had a big issue with les shwabe in kennmore, when i got my tires put on the dumb ****s jackin the car up (they felt it nessisary to balence it on 3 jacks at a werid angle, but they got 3 guys at each jack while i was watching because I knew they had no idea how to jack up a car, but 1 guy just releced the jack and let it fall slamming on the ground but not bottuming out since it was still on the other 2 jacks then the other guy did the same letting it slam down, this time crunching my pass side skirt on top of the jack cracking it into peaces barily holding together, they just looked around I started bi***ing the carp out of em, car had to go into the shop for a week and they had to cover a $560 bill, plus a rental car, i'll never go back to them again, or take my car anyware, from now on, I'll only drop of wheels to a tire shop.
