I went to Tire Zone a little over a week ago and had 4 used tires put on my car. While they were putting on the tires I never got out of the car and when they were done I paid them through the window. They told me the price would be 25.00 each and the total being 100.00 even. When they were done they tried to charge me 112.00 and they told me that there would be a 3.00 tire removal fee per tire, which of course =12.00. After stairing at them for a second because I could hardly understand what they were saying because these guys have a spanish accent and not hardly understanding what they meant, one guy finally said that if I remove the tires myself that they will not charge a fee. I then realized what they have been trying to tell me. Ok so of course I loaded up the old tires in my trunk! I paid the guy and left there allready a little upset because the guys who used to run the place never charged a tire removal fee on used tires... I get home and decide that I will take a quick look at the tires and I seen that one tire was noticably bigger than the other tires, not only was this tacky looking but dangerous also.
I drove back to Tire Zone and very politely told one of the guys what the problem was and he had the nerve to say that they were all the same size, I disagreed and he got the manager in which agreed that one tire was larger and said that it was the closest size tire to mine and would not hurt to drive it like that. I told him that the car also felt bumpy when driving and felt heavier too and that I thought it would be dangerous to drive. He said that they doubt that they have another tire that would be the same size as mime and he would not even check either. He said that he could balance the tire out by putting it on the back but would not exchange the tire or would not even check and see if they had another one. I was very dissapointed but agreed to balance the tire out and he assured me that everything would be fine. I told myself when I got the money that I would just take it somewhere else and get a different tire put on because now I was broke. After I left there I tried to forget the situation and knowing that I will not step foot in Tire Zone again. Five days after I left Tire Zone I had one tire go bad, I woke in the morning to find my tire flat outside my house and was late for work. Four days after that I had one more tire to go bad while driving down the road. I am sure that I didn't run over a nail and I know that Tire Zone ripped me off on shot used tires and an oversized tire. Avoid Tire Zone at all costs, this is a hassle and too much trouble to go through. I could have bought new tires instead of being ripped of by these crooks.
