On July 15, 2026 I had 4 new tires installed at Sidney Fountain Tire, after which I was supposed to get an alignment. I was told that I couldn't get an alignment as I needed new outer tie rods. I was given a quote for $622.98 and asked if I wanted to make an appointment. Funny thing was I had one outer tie rod replaced 6 days earlier on July 9, 2026 at Gurtons Garage. I went back to Gurtons on July 20, 2026 and had the new and old outer tie rods inspected and was told there was no play in the left side and the right side was as new. I provided the relevant invoices to the store manager with the information above, but he brushed me off, saying he called for two new tie rods as "One having play in it and the other one not being far behind". I was lucky, but I hope this helps others in our community from getting ripped off at Sidney Fountain Tire. It's sad to think there are businesses in our community trying to take advantage of people like that. read more
