I went to the Tire Kingdom on West Colonial Drive on an AAA flatbed. Both my right tires had blown out, and I needed help. The manager quoted me $211 estimate, and that is what I initialed. I requested that they put the tires in the trunk. 1 hour later, the manager called and led me to believe that they could not fix the tires without fixing the shocks and break pads, too. I didn't understand why, but I didn't want my breaks to blow out on I-4, either, so I said ok, how much? He quoted me then $1100 plus the tires.
Five hours later, I left with a $1400 bill, half of which I did not understand. I left the tires on their showroom floor, because I was charged with the tire disposal fee, on top of a warranty I never asked for, and magically inflated fees.
I went to work the next day, and explained to a male coworker what had occurred. He got mad, and called on my behalf, and spoke to the same manager. He was an absolute *!
Ladies: please be advised, unless you are in the most dire straights possible, do not take your cars to Tire Kingdom! I was taken advantage of, and you will be, too!
