Yours may not argue but they did

Some of the chrome on the replacement wheel they got me is bubbling and I took it to a different discount tire and they are taking care of it without any hassle so far. I guess you just have to pick which ones you go to.

Matt, I apologize for any of these guys if they were saying that ALL discount people dont care about people's cars. There is always a good egg like you that do care and understand our love for cars and are tedious of how we as a whole want our cars treated.

Well, on my thirdgen, i had a flat so i went and bought all 4 new tires. The others were dry rotted so why not. Well i got 4 245's this dude wanted to sell me like top of the line **** i didnt want. I understand just trying to make a sale, but when i say no it means no, not ask me 70 more times. Big deal, so i finally get my 400$ tires..and i assure you they were not worth 400$. I have gotten better quality from discount tire, for a way better price then 400$. Again, big deal, i needed the tires. I start to drive off and exiting i make a right i hear a big thud. I make a left THUD, right thud, left thud, So on so forth til i got home. Mind you i asked for weight on the inside of my wheel. I got home jacked the car up they put weights on the lip, and it just started taking chunks out of my steering linkages. everytime i turned. I then noticed i had a 225 tire. I had the receipt that said 4x245 tires. I paid for 4 but got 3 and i 225. No big deal take it back show them my ticket, get it fixed? NOPE....the manager did nothing about it. I had ALL documentation to prove i bought 4 245's and ALL 4 tires still had every bit of tread on them and he said too bad. I do not mean to talk down to you or your shops but i prefer discount tire, thats all.
