Default F*CK DISCOUNT TIRE...

After spending $881.00 with them, they wanted nothing to do with me...Had some vibration/humming noise coming from my front right tire, went back four times and each time they told me something different. You need a new tire (I just had new tires put on), you need two new rims, you need an alignment, you have a bent rim...Oh yea, first time I went they drove my car out in front and opened the door for me and said they put some tire shine on for me and what not. After going there four times, they just called me and told me to drive my car out of their garage LOL. Got fed up and went to Grand Turismo East in Chamblee Tucker, heard it was a great shop, found out that my front right wheel has a bad wheel bearing. They quoted me $577.00, which I think is kind of over priced. Will the dealership do it for less? Also, I have no warranty on my car.

what do you expect, they work on wheels and tires, not bearings. sounds to me they did all that they were trained to do; take off tire/wheel, check it for problems, repair wheel/tire if that is the case. as for the dealer doing it cheaper, forget it.

True True, but it was the excuses that pissed me off, if I did what they had said, I would of wasted a lot of money.

I guess I should just pick up the part from the dealership and try to install it at a local shop huh?
