I placed an order for four new tires and was given a total price including all services and taxes of $853. When I returned for installation, I was told I needed an alignment for $80 plus tax. I reluctantly agreed. After they took my old tires off the rims, I was then told I needed three new tire pressure monitors at a cost of $65 each and that they would not mount the new tires without the new monitors. My original quoted price now jumped from $853 to well over $1100. I told them to put my car back together with the old parts. I'll buy my tires elsewhere. I may have to pay these additional charges, but at least I'll know about them in advance. I will not patronize an establishment that low balls it customers and then bumps the cost at least thirty percent.
