I would like to express my frustration with the customer service provided by the Firestone Store # 011630 in Port Orange, FL. I have been customer in this location for over 3 years. Many times I have been provided with different repair services and was always under direct pressure by the employees, assuring me of the necessity of action. Just recently I ordered 4 tires from this store and by installation was prompted to do alignment. I postponed and after I proceeded at another repair shop with replacement of the front left axle and assurance that the right one is ok, a week later I brought the car back to Store # 011630 in Port Orange, FL for the alignment. After the car was lifted and inspected I was told by the store manager that I need a right front tie rod replacement in order to proceed with the alignment. This is obvious a pure extortion because after my refusal to change the part the car was not serviced. I was denied alignment unless replacing the tie rod!!! This is just another typical treatment in this store I received. The same day I went to Firestone store # 004162 in Daytona Beach and the technicians inspected the car, did the alignment, test drove the vehicle and stated that it runs good and the condition was good. Their overall performance completely contradicted the one from store #011630. I am extremely shocked from the repeatedly maleficent customer care, extortion with unnecessary services and waist of time for me as a customer, as well as ignorance towards my preferences. I apply to you for explanation of the different standards in these stores. How is it possible to receive service in one location and get the opposite result of inspection from another? The manager in store #011630 was assuring me how damaged the tie rod was, and this was completely refuted in two other automotive shops. I believe that this is a very hostile customer service and I doubt it should be supported by Firestone Complete Auto Care policy. I would appreciate some explanation as I am determined not to tolerate such attitude.
Kind Regards,
Marin Staevski
