Tire Kingdom

I’ve been a Tire Kingdom customer for years. I got a flat tire this last weekend (looked like dry rot of sorts), and I knew I had a warranty on my tires from when I purchased them about four years ago. The tires ($ 118/​tire) had since been discontinued, and the attendant at this TK quoted me $ 160, «that includes a $ 40 discount since you had a warranty. But your studs look like they’re in bad shape, so we’ll have to take a look at that, too.» When I further inquired the price, he told me the rate was only $ 15 more than the Harmony tire. I told him that would put us at just over $ 130 for a tire, so where did we come up with $ 200? He fumbled with his words before giving me BS excuse. I decided to take my car to the TK in Pinellas Park, where my father has been taking his cars for years. They quoted me $ 124 for the tire, and they would replace the studs FOR FREE. In a nutshell, steer clear of this place if getting ripped off just isn’t your thing.

Ok so all these bad review were probably just one time bad experiences. I came in near closing time to get a tire change and some oil and they educated me about my car as well as well made sure I only got what I needed. They’re caring and helpful and most of all, sincere. I learned about my car. I gained a new respect for mechanics, and I’m absolutely coming here for service moving forward. Thanks guys!

Reliable and honest service from Vic. Pointed out some items that need to be addressed so they don’t cost me more money in the long run. The waiting area has a television and comfortable seating too.

Save yourself and learn here what I learned after it was too late. I took my 2007 Prius for a tire rotation and oil change of Friday. I drove home and didn’t drive again until Monday morning. The next day ALL of the check engine lights came on. It took my Prius to another Tire Kingdom across the bay and they informed me that the hybrid battery was shot and it would cost thousands to replace. Tire Kingdom insisted that this was not their fault or their problem. They offered no resolution, and this car had no problems before their «maintenance» Simple lesson, that everyone else seems to know, but that I did not learn until it was too late. Do not use these scammers for service. They destroyed my perfectly running Prius, and I was forced to pay either $ 3,200 to replace the battery or buy a new car.

I was so please I usually hate mechanics but Anthony was honest and helpful. Would go back any time.

Crappy vibe when I came in but the guy realized it took forever to fix my tire and sent me on my way free of charge. You just never know. Saved me some money. Thank you.

Not sure about the last review as it was 4 years ago… I called around for tire prices; they were the most economically friendly around! I called 6 tire stores in the area. They not only had my tire in stock (apparently I have a weird tire size as 4 of the 6 stores I called could get it from a distributor, but didn’t have in stock), but they squeezed me in and I was in and out in 45 minutes. They were busy too! Most definitely earned my business!!!

This place is full of crooked mechanics and a crooked manager. Six months ago, they tried to upsell fuel injection, power this and that to me that I didn’t need. Then they tried to scare me into changing my battery, which is now still working great.
Recently, my husband brought his car to fix his tire which had a nail in it, tire rotation, and oil change. They claimed they «inspected» the tire and did tire rotation. But the nail was still in it and the tire was still deflated. Also, the tire was not rotated. They probably didn’t even do an oil change!
Do not trust these crooked mechanics! I do not dare to go back to that place and I have told everyone I know not to go there.
