Stay Away From Discount Tire Direct on Poe Ave In Dayton

[Courtney]

I took my Supra in yeterday to get some 295/35-18 Yoko AVS Sports put on the rear. The fronts were okay, so I just had them rotate the tires (directional tires, so they had to take the tire off of the wheel to rotate them).

Well, they damaged my BBS RSIIs, which aren't cheap. Take a look:

There's no way they could say this was previous damage, so they admitted to their mistake, and ordered another wheel for me. Should be here next week. That's cool.

BUT... after I got off work that day, I noticed that my rear wheel was damaged in the same manner, just not as extreme, along with a small dent on another wheel.

As soon as I noticed the other damage on other wheels, I called the shop. It was after 6, so they were closed. I called first thing this morning, and let them know. Their first response was that they didn't cause any more damage to other wheels, and any additional damage was already there.

I told them that that was clearly not the case by looking at it, and I'd be there in 10 minutes to show them. Here you go:

They tried to tell me that was already there, and that they pointed it out to me before hand. I said no way! What they pointed out to me is in the picture below, which is clearly an impact with a curb. I told them that I knew about that.

Then I pointed back to the damage they did and told them it was clearly NOT from a curb, and whatever caused it is the SAME THING that happened to the front wheel. That's very easy to see in person.

Then they went on to say that the damage from the curb was probably related to the damage I pointed out. ::flashback... He tried this on the phone too before I took the car there. I explained to him that wasn't the case, since they are on OPPOSITE sites of the wheel. ::back to present... Now, in person, he was trying to say that was still posible. The picture below shows that there is no way.

They refused to take responsibility for the rear wheel. So, I will be contacting my lawyer this weekend, and the manager of the Poe Ave. store Monday.

that is just horrible. even whitlow could put tires on rims without that much damage!

damn that sucks hopefully you can get them to get you a new wheels where they f**ked up! Good luck. :thumb

[Iwishiwascool]

they just hoped you wouldnt notice?

Thats insane.

[harry's94tsi]

they prob. figured you were some rich asshole who could care less and wouldn't notice. fight them all the way, there's no way they should get away with that, they admitted to the first rim why not the rest? how much are they anyway?

[MitsubishiGirl]

I hate shady shops...

My son went to a shop by us and had different tires put on his rims and they switched a tire on him. He now has an odd ball tire that didn't belong to him...did they admit to it? Hell no

Just go over that asses head, right to the district manager. Go up as far as you can, they will want to take care of the situation as soon as it progresses. Sucks to see it come to that.

exactly.

Yeah that really sucks. If you dont like them don't ever go to Mr.Tire in newark OR Heath. I bought a tire from them cause I had a flat and they put it on wrong. I get it down the road and that tire goes completely flat. They never fixed it and I um nevermind. I got my revenge thats all i can say, cause i dont have the money for a lawyer. That sucks I hope you get it fixed man. I have since then only gone to tire kingdom in polaris.

[smokeshank]

i go to discount tire on sawmill road. my buddy works there and charged me 5.00 to mount and balance 2 rims and tires last summer.

and he handles them like he would his own.

[Insane99Eclipse]

Dont feel bad the discount tires here on brice road sucks just as bad... took my GF's car there to get 4 tires put on it.... he goes out cuz i didnt know what model it was (not my f'n car) says its a topaz and sends it through as that i'm outside smoking and her cars in the first bay where I'm at Plain as day Traser LTS i walk back in and tell them wrong model aka wrong tire size they already had 2 mounted..... they tell me they tell the guys doing it and all's good..... 15 mins later another cig break since i only had 3 hits off the other one.... they are still mounting the wrong tires.... somehow they told the wrong guys when they didnt i watched them tell the 2 working on it....

they finally after 2 hours get the right tires on and i pay and take off...
everything seems fine..... 2 weeks later my GF says i think my tyerod is going out its making this god awful noise with vibration... sounds about right... i'm heading to get it checked 3 weeks later and start backing out.... 2 of the lugs come off and car drops... i'm like wtf they didnt even tighten them up... i jacked it up and bam the bolts the lugs go on arent bent to hell and back.... ring ring they get a call... they paid for tow etc to get it fixed.... before it left i went around to check all the lugs every single one was damn near off or only finger strength tight...


i will never get anything there done again....

[SmokinEAGLE]

what kind of machines did they use? we use a "alloy machine" with a plasic head that would never do damage like that.

btw Tire Kingdom is now NTB.

Im projected to be the NTB tire rodeo national champion with a $5,000 pot.

[SmokinEAGLE]

[BlackEclipse]

I use to go to NTB up off of Sawmill. I will NEVER go there again. They sell defective oval tires. Discount Tire at Easton is a good place to get tires done.

[Dweet]
