Tires Etc

Last weekend, one of our vehicles had a nail/​screw in it. So I took it to Vannoy’s to get it plugged, but they said they could not do so because of its location on the tire. Tires Etc. was across the street (credit to the Vannoy worker who recommended them), so I decided to give them a try. I had to wait a little, but it was Saturday so no worries. The fix was quick and reasonable cost.
One week later, I’m back for two other tires (not the same tire). Same guy (owner maybe?) was in the store, who was helpful. I told him what I needed, and in about 25 minutes or so, the job was done.
While in the waiting room area, an older gentleman was seated there. We were watching ESPN and chatting about college football. I asked him at one point if he came to Tires Etc. often, and he said always. He spoke highly of them. I guess you can’t get a better rep then that.

Took my car in. The front left wheel was making strange noises. When I arrived they were rude. I left my car. I did not hear anything for a few hours. I called up and somehow they put in the wrong part. But they made sure to inform me that I would not get charged for that. Gee. Thanks. Like I would pay for that anyway.
I went to pick it up, and they said they replaced the bearings in the front RIGHT tire and charged me $ 250. I thought «okay. They are the experts.» So I paid them and drove off.
Still not fixed. I was told I could bring it back if it wasn’t fixed, but no thanks. I don’t like Russian roulette car repairs. I’ll try Pine forest Automotive next.

I cannot make enough good comments about this place. There are so many places on my side of town, let alone Nine Mile Rd. that specialize in car tires. While we were cruising down Nine Mile Rd., we noticed that our car tire pressure message came on when we had recently fixed the problem by pumping it with more air. Well, the light came on again. I am the type person where if there is any type of malfunction in my car, it has to be fixed IMMEDIATELY. I do not like the idea of my car breaking down while I’m driving. My wife and I debated on which store to take our car to, since there are at least 5 choices on Nine Mile Rd. itself. We finally settled on Tires, Etc., and we were not glad enough that we chose them. The minute we stepped in the door, the (super friendly) owner came running in to ask us what we needed to be done. After describing the situation, he immediately started working on our car and he even went a little after closing time. After about 20 minutes, he notified us that we had over pumped the tire, which had made the tire pressure indicator turn on. He then let out some of the air on each tire to make sure that all the tires had the same tire pressure. After he did that, the message was gone! He also made a thorough inspection of all our tires to make sure they were in good condition and didn’t have any nails in them. After all that, the owner came to tell us that the service was on the house! Wow! Well, I guess they just earned themselves some permanent customers!
