I have been a long time satisfied customer of America's Tires (+/- 18 years) until now. My most recent experience was bad from the start and ended horrendously. I went into my local store (*******, ** ) to purchase four sets of four tires for four separate vehicles... the first being my 2016 Z06 Corvette. The sales people were so unprofessional and had such little knowledge of tires on this visit, that I ended up stopping with only purchasing the first vehicle's set of tires (the Corvette) and holding off on the other three vehicles tire purchases. (I purchased another $3,000 set at a competitor company and I still am in need of the two other sets). I was given a 2:30 PM appointment for 7/27/2022, a few days later, to install the Corvette tires. My husband arrived at 2:29 PM to have the tires installed... and did not leave the store until 6:57 PM- a full four and a half hours later!?! My husband was there watching/waiting until 1 hour after the store had closed. During this time, the tech had a physical tantrum in the work ********, throwing tools around, and making a huge scene because he was unable to install the tires. It was VERY unprofessional behavior! There was a huge window and all us customers witnessed this unprofessional display. (I'm sure your store has cameras as well!) I also have video I can send (no way to upload here) of the tech hammering and prying on my super expensive rims, causing the damage to the outer rims. Photos of the damage to my car rims was taken in your store. There is damage around the edges of the rims where the tire meets the rim, where the tech pried the tires and chewed up the rims all around the rims. I have video of the tech actually causing the damage. The manager's solution: "he knew a guy" that could fix the rims like new. These are super expensive rims on an otherwise pristine condition high end vehicle and I find this VERY unprofessional and unacceptable in both behavior and proposed solution.Business Response

I recently went to the location here in ********* **********. I have went to this location multiple times this is the first time that I was told that my wear and tear due to alignment was what was causing the issue on my tires. When I asked for the receipts and documents for every past inspection or anything that they did to my vehicle regarding my tires you told me that they could only print out the last one that was done there at their location. I have been to this location multiple times along with the one on Rio bravo. I find it kind of hard to believe that they don't have access to the same documents when it's a nationwide company. I was never told that the wear and tear on my tires was due to an alignment issue. I can provide information showing that my alignment was just done and there was nothing wrong with it.Business Response

I emailed the *** previously and have heard nothing back, either it was not the right email or they do not care. This company will now lose thousands that i and other spend with them as they continue to use ************** to represent their customers. Synchrony recently closed every one of my accounts to include Discount. My credit score was about 750 before this with my Lowes having a limit of 30k, Discount 20k and so on. None of my Synchrony cards have ever been charged at *** and at the most maybe 20 percent when it was Lowes. I owed less than 3k on Lowes that was paid off before recent charges due to remodeling project. I spoke to Synchrony executives and they stated it wasnt due to my credit report or payment history which is immaculate. Just the week before I asked *********** Citibank, to increase my line and they gave me about a 20k increase and this was before about 20k in credit card pay offs had been sent so it didnt reflect on the credit report. Obviously that wasnt a big deal to Citi. But i asked for a credit line increase on my Lowes as well and the automated system gave it to me a 10k increase. Synchrony has some seriously bad reviews all over ************* the BBB and etc that obviously no one at Discount has looked at. This bank is costing you customers and profits. Synchrony lost Wal Mart which now has my Mastercard. I now will be spending money with your competitors . You should really look into better options for your customers than this bank and if you ever change to someone like CITI, Chase, Discover i would reopen a Discount card in a heart beat. ************* is worst and Discover is better than all. I have cards with everyone but Comenity and now Synchrony whose offices must be located next to the city waste water treatment plant. They canceled my cards for no reason and their basic PR BS they will give you.Business Response

On July 7th I placed an order online(5001217250) for a set of tires and I also did an appointment for install on July 9th in the am. On July 8th I received a call (2:30pm) from ****** at Discount Tires asking if I wanted to come in that same day to get the tires installed. I asked how long of a wait time I should expect which ****** advised that once I arrive that I should be out within ***** minutes. So I advised that I lived a few minutes away and that I can arrive within 10 minutes and ****** advised that this time frame works for him and to come on down to the store. Once I arrived at 2:40pm I checked in with Mikey and also I advised Mikey that once done with the install of my new tires that I wanted to take the used tires with me. After Mikey officially checked me in he advised me to sit down and I should be out soon. I of course sit down and wait. Now after waiting 45 minutes I got back in line to ask about my service. I told the representative that when I received the phone call to come in today that I would be out the door within ***** minutes but I have already been waiting 45 minutes and I had yet to see my car come in for the swap out of the tires. The representative checked with servicing and came back to advise that my car is next to get serviced & he apologized for the inconvenience. I ask the guy if the manager was available hitch he said he was, but because I was already irate I told the guy to have the manager call me later today, if not tomorrow to discuss my issue. After finally getting my car serviced I am notified that my car is ready, but as Im about to leave I noticed the used tires that I wanted to take where not in the car. So then I proceed to wait another 5 minutes to have my tires located & loaded in my car. Service as you can see was horrible & after seeing my credit card statement my refund for taking my own tires with me was not given. At a minimum the tire recycling fee should not be charged, but I feel a higher refund is warranted.Business Response

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me. I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.
I have discussed this directly with the manager ******** and he has addressed the issue to where I am satisfied.Regards,

I recently got 4 new tires to change my old Toyo tires that was at its end of the thread life with a Yokohama Avid Ascent GT for my ********** Outlander 2017 ES 2.4cyclinder 4WD on July 1, 2022. Drove off the lot and everything was good, took my car out for a drive on July 2, 2022 to ******* and nothing also. Then took my car out for a drive on July 3,2022 to *************** and then **** ***** and nothing. Stayed home on July 4, 2022 as the holiday pass by. Then on Tuesday of this week on July 5, 2022 as I went to gym in the morning around 10AM did I realized the tire (****) sensor starts blinking. I called Discount Tire and ******* said to bring it in. I stop by after the gym around 3PM and he said that it could of been the **** installed incorrectly. Then when I went into work on July 6, 2022, I check my tires before driving out and putting in air to the *** indicated on my car placard of 35 ***. I got off of work and notices that it looks like it is leaking air. So I got to the shop around 4pm and spend 2 hours for the entire store figuring out what was going on. The Mgr **** and ******* told me to come back when they will call when they get the right equipment to program the ****. I got frustrated and went to ******************* as I was desperate to drive a safe vehicle. The gentleman there stated that they may have broken a sensor. That someting about the *** in the *** reader can not figure. Called ******************************************** today and they said for such a service with one technician it be ways out. I have no time. But worst of all is the actual compaint against Discount Tires. Not only I felt discrimated by all there staff except **************** But it felt racist in there services. They also left scratches on all my rims when I have seen none from the first time I got my wheels change from them and the days that followed.Business Response

On June 24th @ approx 12:30pm Discount tire ******** **. To change my tires they Lifted my 95 gmc truck with the car lift and bent the frame *****/manager seen them **** the frame. It was estamated $3000-5000 to straighten at the gm dealer in ********. My 2007 ****** ********* sustain frame damage also which is estamated $7000 because they bent the frame all the way to my motorcycle rack. They are not supposed to put any truck on the car lift. Trucks are to be lifted from each corner especially if they have cargo. I had to drop off the ****** in ********* ****** because both frames where damaged. They had me drive my unsafe vehicle all the way home like this to ******. They put on smaller tires than recommend also, 255/55 r18 should be 265/60 r18. Shame on them using safety as there advertisement but making my vehicle unsafe for the road. My father is retired military whom bought the tires for me and they didn't even give him a discount Invoice # *******.Business Response
