My driver experienced a blowout on his travel trailer while returning to Atlanta from Richmond. He called this Mavis location ahead of time to confirm they had the correct replacement tire in stock, and they assured him they did.
When he arrived, the staff was extremely unhelpful. They initially stated they could not replace the tire because they were not allowed to jack up the trailer. I then asked if I purchased a floor jack and raised the trailer myself, would they install the tire? Their response changed to, "We're not allowed to touch the lug nuts." They claimed their district manager does not allow them to use floor jacks or remove lug nuts from trailers.
Because of this, we had to find and pay another service provider just to remove the wheel from the trailer and bring it to the shop. Even after the wheel was brought in, it took the staff over an hour and a half to mount a new tire onto the rim--a job that required no jacking of the trailer and no removal of lug nuts on their part.
The entire experience turned an already stressful roadside situation into an unnecessarily frustrating ordeal. If your business stocks trailer tires but refuses to perform even basic trailer tire service, customers should be made aware of that before they arrive. read more
