We purchased a set of Hankook Optimo H727 tires from Discount Tire in Fort Gratiot Jan 2013. They were excellent tires and still had a good amount of tread left but because of the AGE of the tire we opted to replace them. I called a couple places to see if they carried the same tires. I was told they were available & the price, but it would be a week or so to order them in. I then called Joe's Discount tire who quoted $40 cheaper & stated they were in stock. He said "come on down and lets get it done - we don't take appointments". That's Fine. We went over shortly after. Upon arriving I advised who we were & a few guys came right out, jacked up the van, removed the old tires & had the new ones installed. All in all it took about 1/2 hour or so. We paid but were given a fairly blank store receipt? I thought it odd but filled in the info myself(make, model odometer reading, purchase date, etc). They were quick and the tires were installed Aug.20/19'. We were excited about the 1000+ km trip to Gananoque we were about to go on. After driving for a couple months they didn't seem as nice as the previous set & the colour seemed off. We received a tire pressure reminder email from Discount. We went there to have the air checked. The attendant there said "You should think about replacing your tires, they're 7 years old." WTF!?!?! We just had them replaced a fwe months ago! When we got home I did some research & checked the dates myself, sure enough they were mfg in 2012. The SAME YEAR as the ones that we just had replaced! We went to Joe's to confront him about it. He said "That's how I save customers money" & "I always run old stock on my vehicles, my tires are like 19 years old & still good." I then asked about the warranty & he said "good luck getting a replacement from the manufacturer as you have to prove it's their fault anyway". That's not the point, we paid for what we thought were NEW tires not 7 year old tires. He wouldn't do anything about it! We'll be lucky if we get another 2 yrs out of these tires. I would've given 1/2 a star! What he's doing is not LEGALLY wrong but I believe his practices are immoral & unethical. At least INFORM the customer so they can make a decision that's best for them! We would've paid the extra $40 & waited a week to get NEW! I STRONGLY advise going somewhere else but, either way, make sure you check the tire date regardless of where you get them to avoid a similar situation! Here's some info I found on the web but do your own research too! EVEN UNUSED TIRES MAY BE DANGEROUS: Believe it or not, much like many other products, tires have an expiration date. Even if a tire has never been used, it might still be unsafe to put into service. This is due the nature of rubber itself. Rubber is used in tire construction because of its ability to flex, stretch, and conform to different surfaces. EXPIRED TIRES CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT: When the aged, weakened rubber is subjected to the forces of driving, stretching and twisting, expanding and compressing, heating and cooling, it can begin to crack, and eventually it can become separated from the other layers of the tire. Once this occurs, the tread is ripped away from the rest of the tire due to the force of rapid tire rotation, and the tire can rapidly disintegrate as the lower layers are shredded by the road surface. If the vehicle is moving at average or high speeds this can cause sudden loss of control, and most likely, a serious accident When purchasing new tires, take a moment to examine the tire sidewall. On the side of the tire should be a section that includes the letters "DOT", and shortly after, a 4-digit number which identifies when the tire was manufactured. * The first two digits show the week the tire was manufactured. * The last two digits show the year the tire was manufactured. For example, a number of 0316 would mean that the tire was made in the third week of January 2016.

DO NOT BRING YOUR VEHICLE HERE…read more Firstly, I want to say that the people at their front desk are amazing. Some of the best admin people I have had the chance to deal with! That being said, do NOT take your vehicle here. My truck was hit in a parking lot in September, and after a long wait, they finally got it in to fix it in mid-November. This seemed surprising as they got it in nearly a month early from when they originally booked it to come in for repairs. They also told me it would take 17 business days time (plus weekends) to get done as there was extensive damage, but it took less than a week in actuality. Honestly, I was surprised at such a change in speed, but now I'm not so surprised, as it likely gives some sort of explanation as to the quality of work that was done and the state in which my vehicle was returned back to me. After getting my truck back from them, I drove it 10 seconds down the road, and every screen shut off in the vehicle. It all went dark, from the entertainment system to the gauge cluster. Now, there were no issues with any of the screens when I initially brought it in. It's only a 3-year-old truck, and the screens and gauge cluster had never had any problems. They all had worked perfectly fine before. However, despite this happening on their watch, they are now trying to deny responsibility, stating that "because we don't deal with electrical components, this couldn't have been our fault." So they sent it to a dealership for diagnosis, now quoting me thousands of dollars to get it fixed out of pocket. Firstly, there are many things they could have done, without messing with the electronic components themselves, that could have inadvertently caused this issue. It doesn't take an expert to know this. When you are doing extensive repairs to a vehicle, lifting it up and down on hoists and things alike, of course, things like this can happen. After speaking with some local mechanics myself, what likely has happened is that in an attempt to get vehicles out the door faster (proven by comments made by their front desk staff and the drastic difference in work times), they have cut corners and lowered quality of work to speed things up. Mechanics have told me that things like this often happen when mechanics are welding parts to the frame / chassis, and either they don't disconnect the battery / other electrical components, OR they don't correctly ground during the welding process, causing strong electrical currents to overwhelm and fry electronic components. Bottom line is that they are absolutely responsible for this, though, as the vehicle went to them in full working order and is now coming out functioning WORSE than it was after being in their care. A vehicle simple DOES NOT go into a shop fully working, and come back with those previously working components NO LONGER WORKING, despite not being driven or used in that time. It was absolutely something they did, and they are now denying responsibility. If you care about good work and trusting your vehicle with the people who are supposed to fix it, DO NOT BRING IT HERE!

Sand left in the floor mats which were placed back in their regular places, unfortunately on top of wet floor carpeting. Doing that breeds mildew and other stuff that I just paid $315 to have environmentally treated by Greg. So I took out the floor mats for a couple of days while the rugs dried out. When I picked up the floor mats, I found out that the sand left in them had fallen out onto the carpeting in the rear compartment. So i took out a vacuum and cleaned up the mess. Another reason for disappointment was that they slipped in an "Environmental Charge" of $10 at the lat minute and wanted a "tip" on top of the premium price I was paying to the owner. When I asked for a quote it was $249 but then grew to $269 when they saw it was a small van. I knew that I was paying top dollar and could have gotten it done at Canadian Tire or the Mazda dealer, but I wanted a really good job done and I thought I would get that at Greg's. I didn't get that so i won't go back and just consider this a lesson learned and i pass on that lesson to you.
