I went into the Mall of Georgia location when I noticed 2 of my tires were falling apart from the inside. This was very dangerous and that location was the closest tires shop. They did not have the size tires I needed in stock and I needed tires before I could drive anywhere. They located some tires they could get the next day but told me they were "junk" but for double the price I could get some others they could also get the next day. I wasn't excited to get "bad tires" so I called my brother in law who is a Master Tech for a large auto company, he found me 4 very good tires. I called Firestone to ask if they would put on the tires if I brought them in, they said yes. I was late and still could not get them on same day. I left the truck overnight and they were to put the tires on first thing in the am. I received a call in the am stating the "district office called them and told them it was against company policy to put my tires on because I did not purchase them there". THIS was a blatant LIE, because I called 3 other locations in my areas and all were MORE than willing to put them on for me. I feel this manger was a bully and he wanted to send me driving off on extremly dangerous tires to "show me" that I should have bought the tires he was PUSHING on me. And we all must ask ourselves, why would this company sell anything that it's managers deem "JUNK". This is our safety riding on these tires and they OPENLY express they sell junk??? DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION if you are in this area I would suggest the Snellville location when I called there the manager was kind, gracious and truly wanted to help.in the end I found out the reason they tried to get out of putting tires on... They had already damaged my rims and hoped to get me out of there and somewhere else before it was noticed... I have rims that I paid $3500 for and I know they were not damaged when the vehicle was dropped off. Police called to verify my rims had "fresh" damage, but Joe, the lying manager at this location continued to blame me. Stay away from these lying scam artists. Go anywhere else you will have better luck.
