      On August 9,2023 3:00 pm at Tire Choice Auto Service Center Located at 739 East State St. Athens, Ohio. 45701. Phone # ###-###-#### Store # 0232. They replaced 2 rear tires on the rear of my car with 2 new tires i bought from that service center at that time. i paid them $ 508.07 for this service. Upon leaving their service center i noticed a rotating thumping noise on the rear of my car. I immediately drove my car back to their service center and informed them of this problem and asked them to check this. The technician looked for the problem and said it may be a brake noise or maybe the tire picked up rocks out in the parking lot. I disagreed but i had no choice but to take his word that it may be a brake noise. He did not check the tightness of the lug nuts. I trusted that he had done his job correctly. So i left there and continued driving my car to transport my court appointed ward to her doctor appointment. The noise in the rear of my car continued to get louder. After returning home i jacked up the rear of my car to inspect this to see if i could determine the cause of the noise. I found all 5 lug nuts were loose on that one rear wheel. I tightened all 5 lug nuts and drove the car again. And the noise was corrected. Note: This could have caused a very serious accident.. due to the technicians lack of professional ability.

      This letter is in response to the complaint from **** *******, #********.            I apologize
      that after service on his vehicle Mr. ******* had the noise and when bringing
      the vehicle back into the shop the noise was not found and resolved before Mr.
      ******* took the vehicle a second time. 
      I spoke with Mr. ******* on August 21, 2023, regarding his experience
      with the shop and apologized that this occurred and let him know that I would
      file a formal complaint regarding this incident.  This has been filed and the information has
      been sent to the district manager who oversees this location to be sure that
      this is addressed with the technicians that work that this location.  There would be nothing further we are able to
      do regarding this matter.Thank you for your time,Theresa G*******Guest Services ManagerMonro Inc.

      I had a tune-up performed on July 27, 2023 on my 2018 ******** ******** Van. After the tune-up my check engine light came on. When I took it back to Tire Choice, they stated that the code was for a mis-fire and it was most likely due to me needing a new auxiliary battery. I was unable to have them replace the battery at that time, so I had to wait. A few days later, my van would not start. I had it towed back to Tired Choice and they said I needed a starter. They replaced the auxiliary battery and my starter and were still unable to get my van to start and their next course of action was to tear my engine apart. I declined that as I wanted a second opinion. I towed it to Chrysler and they were able to get it running as it was a blown fuse on top of the battery. However, there was coolant in coil 1 and Chrysler stated it appeared to have overheated. My van never overheated while it was in my possession. I have reached out to Monro to get reimbursed but have yet to hear back. My issue number with them is ******. I would appreciate someone contacting me to get this resolved.

      On the 18th of August, I went into the Riverview location in Kalamazoo MI to get an alignment done. My vehicle is a 2011 ***** ********* 2500 HD. After the alignment was supposably done, I was driving at home and noticed nothing had changed. My steering wheel pointed at 11 o'clock to stay straight and my car pulled hard to the right. I called that Monroe location back up, they told me to come back in and they would see what they can do. The technician told me because of the oversized tires they could not program that into their system to do a proper alignment. The technician told me that he did not want to do it originally because of that and even told his manager that. I was still charged $143.76 and nothing changed at all. My car still pulls hard to the right.

      My 87 year old Dad, ******* ****** was completely taken advantage of my Top Choice/Monroe Muffler in Canton, OH for a total of $683.20. He took his 1995 **** ******** there for a muffler repair.

      I found the invoice about a month after the service. Courtesy Inspection, no charge, scheduled Maintenance Review, no charge. Misc Service $602.50 Shop Fee $39. There is no signature accepting the quote or giving permission to work. There is no detail of work done. The car muffler is still loud, and there is a smell of exhaust in the car. I took the car to a trusted family mechanic for inspection.

      After inspecting the vehicle, my mechanic advises me not to repair the vehicle because its unsafe to drive due structural issues among other things. He also explains that it appears some very sketchy muffler work was performed. I mentioned that I have a recent Top Choice/Monroe Muffler and Brake receipt for $683.20 and asked if could make sense of it. I went to the shop and my mechanic took me step by step through the safety inspection and points out the poor muffler welding and repair work and parts replacement. He also informs me the catalytic converter is missing. Its worth with between $100 and $300.

      I called Top Choice/Muffler several times trying to get a return call from the manager. I never received a return call despite promises of one. After several calls, I was told there will be no further discussion of the matter or refund.

      I have paper work and pictures to prove this case.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.   I have sent pictures twice last month to the Monroe manager showing the poor workmanship and the safety issues with the car.  You took advantage of an elderly man who clearly had age related dementia.  You performed work without his signature.  IDK how you sleep at night.  A full refund is the remedy to this situation.

      Listing all details in the attached documents. There are other invoices that I do not have copies of but is still in Monro's invoicing system. Work was not completed after having my vehicle for 5 days. August 13th - 17th.

      I was told by the GM, Kurtis, that my vehicle was safe to drive with a bad brake master cylinder. Just to find out it could result in complete brake failure. Then putting my life and other motorists lives at risk.

      Brake booster valve was never replaced in 2021 said by Kurtis via phone call on Monro's recorded phone line. I was charged for this part, just to have to have it replaced again in 2023. I was also told that my calipers were replaced with parts from the Ford dealership when they had not been replaced.

      I received a second opinion from ********** ******* * ***** who took photos of the issues at hand. I have also attached a written-up diagnostic from this company, stating what had not been repaired by Monro and what work was still needing to be completed.

      I called and complained to Kurtis on Monday, August 21st, the GM of this location and he said that he would have his District Manager reach out to me. I haven't heard anything all week, so I called the store again on Friday, August 25th and asked for an update and requesting to speak with the DM. And he said he had not reached out to her yet because it was a "busy week".

      This letter is in response to the complaint from ******* *****, #********.            The
      documentation that Ms. ***** has provided and the invoices that we have from
      the location that did the brake services on her vehicle in 2021 and the warranty
      work that was done on the vehicle on August 17, 2023 is showing that the calipers
      that were replaced were on the front of the vehicle and the documentation of where
      she had her vehicle looked over is stating that the rear calipers are locking
      up.  We did not do service on the
      calipers in the rear of the vehicle therefore there would be nothing we can do
      regarding the services that the vehicle needs 2 years after our previous services
      were performed.Thank you for your time,Theresa G*******Guest Services ManagerMonro Inc.

      I bought 4 new tires last year. VERY HAPPY with them. I also paid for roadside hazard in case I get a flat/nail. 7 weeks ago, I got a nail and had them fix it. It still leaked and has leaked for past 7 weeks. I have attempted to get repairs to only be turned away multiple times being told they have no technicians and I cannot leave the car that day. How many times (days off) do I have to drive there to be told this? I'm not seeking much! How do they remain open without an inspection technician or any other techs on site? Something funny about this location for years...

      The business needs to stop selling warranties it cannot honor at store or offering services it cannot provide. They didn't even offer to schedule a day and time they could have done it. I am going to another location... it's SHAMEFUL that someone from corporate just snudely suggested I go to another of their 1300 stores rather than address the store in question. Lazy and despicable... I just want this on record that they did nothing of any effort to resolve this. I will have to resolve on my own.

      On June 1 I brought my 106 van into the Tire Warhouse in Concord, NH to have all four TPMS sensors replaced. I returned two times after the first visit for a leak in one tire. TW installed a non-OEM sensor in one tire. My TPMS and low pressure lights reamed on. I took it to another tire shop. They found pieces of rubber inside one tire. Three of the tires had the TPMS sensors installed incorrectly with the seals in the wrong location. I observed the entire process. I am still having balance issues and the tires may be ruined.

      In March of 2023 I got a flat tire and went to Mr. Tire and needed to have all four of my tires replaced. I waited for the 3 hours that it took for them to be replaced and then as they gave me my car back they told me that they had trouble putting two lug nuts back on the car (and they did not have them in stock at the moment) on one wheel but it would be fine to drive. That did not sound safe, so I went to ********, bought these lug nuts (spending another $12) and then went back to Mr. Tire and had them put them on. I also bought the road hazzard insurance.
      Fast forward to July, we had a couple of terrible rain storms and my low pressure light kept coming on every time it rained. I stopped by on July 28th and asked if they could check my tires, they did a spot check, added air, but I was told they were too busy. The following day I went to the dealer and was told my tires were fine but the wrong size tire (Mr. Tire had put on the wrong size in March- and you can easily google the correct size for the car). We contact Monroe about how to rectify this and after may calls we kept getting told they were replace them at a prorated rate (not free, although it was their mistake).
      On August 11th I went back and explained the situation and they had to order the correct tires so we scheduled for them to put them on today. Yesterday I had not received a call to let me know the tires were actually in so I followed up and was told I would need to drop off my car for the day, which meant having someone pick me up and drive me the 40 minutes home and 40 minutes back to Mr. Tire in beach traffic. I was without a car for 5.5 hours, longer than the first time, for a situation that could have been avoided. I ended up paying $121.60 for the tires, and noticed that I was charged $8 to "scrap the tires", which I also do not think I should have been charged for since I needed new tires due to a mistake made by Mr. Tire.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      I am e-mailing in response to Complaint ID: ******** I just received an e-mail that my complaint has been closed because I didn't respond to the previous e-mail. The previous e-mail had stated that I would be receiving a refund, and did not state that a response was necessary. However, I have yet to receive the refund. Before the case is closed, I want to make sure that I am actually going to receive the refund and that Monro did not just say that to appease you.

      Regards,

      ********* *******

      My husband and I had all the tires changed on both of our vehicles in June. We opted for the most expensive tires that came with the highest warranty (80,000) at the suggestion of the salesman. We specifically asked about scenarios the warranty would cover, including a blow out, and were assured we would be covered up to 80,000.

      Then, yesterday I blew a tire on one car while driving into work. There was nothing in the road, nor any debris or other hazard whatsoever in the tire. My husband came to get me and took the car into the Tire Warehouse at 113 Manchester Street in Concord NH, where all the tires had originally been installed. He was then informed that because we did not purchase the additional road hazard warranty (we were not told of), there was no coverage, on a tire that had only gone 6,000 of its expected 80,000 miles. Moreover, the technicians could not identify any road hazard or even faulty condition within the car. He even acknowledged the tire seemed torn from the inside. Nevertheless, they deemed this to be the result of an unknown/unproven road hazard.

      Now, the tires also have a manufacturer's warranty, and as I have come to find out, a limited warranty from Monro as well. The entire staff at this location categorically refused to initiate the claim, or even give us the contact information to do so ourselves. I had to call Monro to force them to agree to cooperate with the warranty claim, which ******** told us are typically handled by the repair shop directly. Their manager has now apparently decided this was the result of a road hazard and the manufacturer will not cover this failure either. I fear as retaliation for our persistence that he and his team will try to sabotage the claim.

      I also could not get any verification of the warranty terms from the shop, and had to have it emailed to me directly by Monro. I could not get confirmation from Monro that this warranty even complies with the laws in my state. I just want the tire replaced.

      This letter is in response to the complaint from ***** ****,
      #********.            We
      apologize that after speaking with our customer service department on August
      17, 2023, that there was no communication from our district manager of the
      location.  I have reviewed our notes and
      your complaint regarding the single tire that blew out on the vehicle, and I
      see that the shop ended up charging the full amount for the tire.   I am processing a refund in the amount of
      $189.25 back to the ********** that ***** ******* paid on August 18, 2023.  This is the pro-rated amount for the tire
      that needed to be replaced due to the vehicle being driven 5,418 miles on an 80,000-mile
      tire and there being no signs of this being caused by a hazard in the
      road.  This will be refunded on August
      28, 2023, and the credit should be available within 3-5 business days.Thank you for your time,Theresa G*******Guest Services ManagerMonro Inc.
