The employees tell female customers anything and they try their hardest to get over on you.
I came in today (1/5/17) to get new tires since yesterday (1/4/17) one of the employee: Nelson inspected my tires and told me that I needed new ones.
I took Nelson's advice. Also, the manager gave me a price list of 4 set of tires would cost. The price given weren't affordable, but rather $300+.
So, we (dad and I) researched cheaper tires that we bought online and scheduled an appointment.
When I arrived to my appointment on time and specifically asked the employee: Marcus to place my old tires in my trunk and he agreed he would.
I patiently wait 30 minutes for my car to get serviced on. Finally, she (Betsy) is done and I pay.
Now, Marcus gives me my receipt without the charged price. I leave.
20 minutes passed, I return because when I turn my wheels I hear a screaming noise coming from the car. I take it back up to Discount Tire because I never heard that sound in the past.
First, Marcus meets me outside and I tell him about the issue. He agrees to test it out.
I wait again. 5 minutes later, Hernandez tells me the reason why it makes that sound. He tells me it's due to the brake rotator and bearing. That these two need repairing.
I ask him, why does it make that sound now and not before? He says because I now have new tires and the old tires I couldn't hear it then.
I said OK. I leave. When I get home, I checked my trunk to see if they put my old tires in the trunk as I requested. They failed to do so.
Also, they charged me the roadside fee without my notice nor if I asked for it because I didn't, so that's why my bill was over the price I wanted.
They do things like this because they know they are dealing with female customers and it seems as if they enjoy to take advantage of.
My dad called back up to Discount Tire and the employees told him the blunt truth about everything--stuff they didn't bother to tell me. Also, Hernandez lied to me about my brake rotator and bearing as my dad and I realized the actual issue was because of it being new tires. I never heard that screaming noise again.
