Ripoff is this any way to treat a lady

I initally went to them to have a leaky tire plugged. I had bought the car used. The tires were bf goodrich touring t/a. One was worn on the outside and had developed a leak. The service advisor, "julio Hernandez" told me the tire was no good and proceeded to let me know that he thought BF goodrich tires were no good, and wore fast for the money.

I purchased two Yokohoma Avid t4 (his recommendation) for $78.00 a piece and had an alignment done that day. When I was checking out he told me that they had put a quart of transmission fluid in my system and that there was probably a leak and to come in later that week for a diagnostic pressure test.

When I left, I called my brother and he told me how to check my fluid. Upon checking it, I found that there was alot more fluid in then what was necessary. Next, I called my father who is a retired ford engineer and knows alot about cars. I then drove up to Brooksville, Fl and dropped the car off to him to have checked.

Because of a delay with an "expert", he chose to check the vehicle out for himself. I father is 77 years old and it is not easy for him to to this, but he did.
He called me and told me there were no leaks in the transmission and that a very minor leak of engine oil that could be fixed with a new valve cover gasket which he could do in about an hour was all that would be necessary.

Because of this incident I began to research this company and the tires I bought and the tires I replaced. First their own company recommended the ones I had on there (bf goodrich) higher than what he sold me (yokohoma avid t4). And the 60K mile warranty is just for show based on some review I read of owners of the Yok. The tires wear out fast and getting them replaced under warranty seems to be difficult.

The price I paid was 10-14 dollars higher at Tires Plus than other dealers in the local area. I have heard it said that experience is the best teacher and believe I have learned through this experience. I will definetly let all know to beware of this company and the particular location I visited.
