  I went into tire discounters on us 42 to have my winter tires put on and swapped from my regular tires. Stated they did a balance with them and when I left and drove 40 minutes to work, my car vibrated and bounced the whole way there indicating no balance was done. That was confirmed when I went elsewhere to pay another $150 for a job they should have done. Not only that, they took my regular tires without telling me, and there is no disposal fee listed. I contacted customer support on 11/22 almost a month and a half ago and was offered a free oil change which I declined, because I don't trust them at all now. I was lied to and told that the main person called and never did. Finally someone called me offering me used tires and it would take 2 weeks. Well almost 3 weeks later and nothing. You guys messed up, now I want a credit towards new tires. I don't want used tires I know nothing about. I am disgusted with this type of behavior, and the lies I was told constantly. I was also told they have to do more research for 2 weeks before that. You messed up, fix it. My tires were only a year old and I only want a credit now, or refund.

  I went to tire discounters for a alignment on my truck. They stated that when the alignment was done they started the truck and said the brake hose ruptured. I just had tie rods done on both sides and my mechanic did not notice a ruptured I also drove the truck before I took it to the shop. The shop would not show the original parts to us in person. I do have a pic I reviewed that they sent me that shows shiny metal when there shouldn't have been as a tool slipped and jabbed it or something. Real concerning where they have reviews of bad service at this location which I should of checked out 1st. I am new to the area so I was hoping with them being a known name of company's for this kinda work I would of thought they would of took more pride in the business and not ripping me off or being able to show us the part in person when we showed back up at the store. I do have pics that they forwarded to me but being able to see the part when we went to the business same day work was done would of been great as there employee stated as they put the hoist down with truck on it that the break line ruptured as they started it. I have had vehicles and dealt with mechanics and usually when they do work like this they will offer to show the part that came off the truck that they replaced to show there is not shady dealings or errors in an employee that could of damaged it. I feel they did not handle it professionally as me and my mechanic would of seen the part in question and if the worker did have a mishap I would not be charged for this as a customer. I originally just went in for a alignment and they told me that it ruptured and did not show the part to me originally in person only a pic. They refuse to make this right as I do have screen shots of the convo with someone that says there corporate. The alignment is not being disputed.

  Thank you for reaching out to us. We sincerely apologize that our service did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.
  According to your previously opened customer concern case **********, both you and your partner have already spoken with the Regional Manager of the location regarding this matter and have been advised of the following. For your reference, attached are the photos of the failed part that were previously provided to you. Based on our findings, the failure appears to have been internal, likely due to the age of the part, rather than any issue arising from the alignment performed by our technician. I would also like to clarify that the brake line is not located in the area where our technician was working, and at no point was the vehicle placed on a traditional lift or had the tires removed during the alignment process.
  We truly value your feedback and are here to assist with any further questions or concerns. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there is anything else we can do to help.

  (PLEASE TYPE YOUR REASONS HERE)
  
  
  Due to they just stated that they started the truck and it ruptured. They refused to show us the ruptured line in person only gave us a pic after we contacted corporate but if u view the pic why does it look like it was jabbed by a mechanic with a tool that may have slipped. as u will see the silver. They claim it ruptured when they started it and I have checked with other mechanics and they said no way. There technicians as on there feedback on there site has not been trained or not supervised as much as they should be. Kinda funny they don't show us the part in person how do I know that is what came off the truck. But I do see other comments of others vehicles having other issues after there service. Enlarge the pics u will see where the metal got jabbed. There was nothing wrong with the truck as I drove it there. They just don't wanna be accountable or they would of showed us the original part and would of showed good faith by showing it us when we picked the truck up. Kinda shady on there part. From now on ill be reviewing business feedback before I go there to do business. Please enlarge the pics if that's even the part that came off my truck cause I also looked at the other side and it was silver and when you replace one the other should be replaced so why does the other one that is not like the other pic full silver. So all is in question. They don't listen to concerns of there customers either.

  12/6/2024 I went into work at the business across the parking lot. I noticed I had a total flat on my car upon parking and that I had a tpms warning of low pressure. Never had that light on before. I changed the spare tire onto the car and went in to work. I contacted tire discounters at **** ***** ****** *** ****** ******* *****. I asked about getting my tire replaced. I was told they only had one style and one brand of tire for my vehicle that would cost me 167.50. I agreed to pay and have it taken care of. Upon completion I was told my rear brakes needed to be changed and to allow the car some time to correct the tpms issue. The light would go off on its own. After a couple of weeks of driving hundreds of miles the light was still on. I contacted the location on 12/26/2024 and let them know of the issue. I was told to bring my car down and they’d take a look. Upon arrival I was told my sensor could just be dead. I exclaimed that was strange due to it having no issues prior to the change. They pull my car in the bay and take a look only to say the sensor has to be replaced and it’s gonna cost an ungodly amount. That 3 sensors were dead now. Although I have never had an issue.

  A few weeks ago, I went to get new tires and an old change on my wife's vehicle. Tire Discounters called and asked if I typically get my oil changed there. When I said that I did, they asked if it was the last place I got my oil changed, which I confirmed.
  
  They said they could not change my oil because the oil plug was spinning, and the threads were stripped. They said a new oil pan, with labor, would cost about $500. Tire Discounters have been the only ones to touch my oil pan. Since they are the ones who damaged the oil pan, I do not understand having to pay $500 to fix it. Because the oil pan was not leaking and I had 2,500 miles until it needed to be changed, I drove it home until it's settled.
  
  I emailed customer service and was told the Regional Manager would be in contact within 48-72 hours. He called me a few days later while I was teaching at work and left a voicemail. I then left him a voicemail, told him my available hours, and tried calling him twice more without success.
  
  Nearly a week later, I emailed the support again, leading to the Regional Manager calling again during my teaching hours and leaving another voicemail. I then left him another voicemail, which led to him texting the next day and agreeing on a time he would call me. He never called, so I texted him a few days later but never heard back.
  
  The third week of attempting contact, he once again called when I was teaching. He then texted and asked when I could talk, and I gave him two time windows, which he agreed to. That was several days ago and I haven't heard anything since.
  
  Tire Discounters has dropped the ball from regional management down to the mechanics, and I am beyond frustrated and don't know how to solve this issue.

  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, reasons for rejection are included below.
  
  My oil pan was fine before taking it into Tire Discounters, but after they changed the oil, the plug threads were stripped. Rather than fix the problem, they suggested I pay approximately $500 for labor and parts to fix the problem they created. 
  
  I first contacted Tire Discounters support on November 26th and it's now December 28th. I have not spoken from anyone from Tire Discounters, despite being told I would talk with the Regional Manager within 24-72 hours (not including weekends). While I was given a time window he would call on two different occasions, I was never contacted during that time.
  
  Their response said they would be working on this problem, but this problem has lasted for over a month. I hope they are able to resolve this issue soon.

  Tire discounters offers a free synthetic oil change with purchase of 4 new tires. The website states 5qts or 12 qts diesel. I was about to order my tires and I questioned this to make sure my oil change was free as advertised as I have a diesel truck that uses 12 qts of oil as advertised. I was told no it’s based on a $99 value. I did eventually find this in the fine print but they are using the “free” to draw business when it is anything but free. This is very much misleading and they are not clarifying this unless you ask. To me this is false advertising because it’s not free. I feel they should not be permitted to use “free” in the offer when it is limited to a dollar amount.

  I choose to purchase new tires from tire discounters oppose to ***** dealer because they were 100 dollars cheaper & I got free alignment, free oil change & lifetime rotation. The tires I wanted were oem & had to be ordered. Took my truck to tire discounters on ******** **** when the tires arrived at store. Took about 2 hrs to get to my truck & service tech comes drives truck in shop to install tires & then drives to back of store for the alignment. After 3.5 hrs im ready to go says the counter guy. I walk out to look at my new tires to make sure they’re what I ordered & find some scratches on a couple wheels & 1 wheel in particular is gouged bad, like whichever tech worked & drove my truck around hit a curb or something gouging the wheel. I immediately brought this to the counter guys attention & he & another person looked at my truck/wheels took pics & made some calls. I was told it was going to be investigated & they needed to look at cameras & I would be contacted by someone.
  I was ask to sign something & didn’t want to sign anything in light of my wheels being damaged, so was denied my oil change coupon & my receipt for the money paid to them which is 1400.00 dollars. It’s been almost a month since I was told I’d be contacted. Paid 1400.00 dollars on November 20th

  Dear Tire Discounters Customer Service,
  
  I am writing to express my concern regarding the delay in receiving my rebate for a tire purchase I made at the beginning of September. I purchased a set of four tires totaling $2,500, specifically because of the advertised $100 rebate offer.
  
  I submitted all the required documentation for the rebate and was informed to expect processing within 6-8 weeks. However, it is now the middle of December, and I have received no updates or the promised rebate card.
  
  For reference, here are the details of my submission:
  • Submission ID: ********
  • Promotion: Tire Discounters
  • Offer #: ********
  • Reward Amount: $100.00
  
  According to your confirmation, my submission was approved in September, yet I am still waiting for the rebate card to arrive.
  
  I kindly request that you expedite this matter and provide me with an update regarding the status of my rebate. I would appreciate receiving the $100 rebate card promptly.
  
  Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and a swift resolution.
  
  Sincerely,
  ****** ******

  On 11/04/2024 had service that was supposed to be done on my vehicle bought tires and was inquiring about wheels. I was told I couldn't get the wheels that day because they had to order them. And that the person would be available the following week. So I receive a call to pick up my vehicle asked about how the alignment came up told was told that they didn't do one that they'd have to pull it back in and do it later on that afternoon showed up about 330 to pick up my car. Everything seemed fine but was told that the alignment wasn't done properly. They could do it that following Monday. start driving my car, notice some funny wobbling. And ended up having a friend look at it and found out that they did not tighten up a bolt that they had messed with, called him that Monday to find out what would the deal was? Was told that the kid said he didn't work on the alignment? But received a piece of paper stating otherwise of Before & After measurements of the alignment so that was the first bad thing, the following day after picking up my car washed my car and noticed there was damage to my car. So I inquired about that as well brought the car back in to have the alignment done. Was told there was some other part that was bad, so they couldn't do a true alignment.
  Fixed the part but had to get the alignment done somewhere else. 'cause I couldn't wait any longer, opened up a case with the corporate headquarters. And somebody was supposed to call me back within 72 hours, he did Said they were going to review the tapes of the security footage. They have waited another week and a 1/2 didn't hear nothing back had to call him multiple times to get the information. Was told that they didn't have a good angle or clear picture. A pre-existing damage or anything to the car to prove otherwise that they didn't do it. Basically, a month goes by still no resolution to the problem on top of them. Not tightening that bolt caused more damage to my car.

  In your initial conversations with our field leadership, you mentioned that you were unsure of when the damage occurred and asked us to review the footage.  After reviewing the footage at your request, conducting a detailed investigation, and our store’s Regional Manager having reached out to you and having provided additional evidence showing your vehicle without visible damage at our shop and while leaving our shop, Tire Discounters considers this matter closed, as the evidence proves that the damage to your vehicle was not encountered at Tire Discounters.

  According to case notes,
  the customer has spoken with both the previous and current Regional Manager of
  this location. Three out of the five photos the customer submitted when opening
  this complaint are screenshots taken from the stores’ video footage and were
  provided to him by the previous Regional Manager.  I have attached an additional photo showing the
  vehicle on the alignment rack after the new tires had been installed, in this
  photo you can see no visible damage. Tire Discounters considers this matter
  closed, as the evidence proves that the damage to the vehicle did not occur
  during their service.

Also the screenshot I submitted of their camera system shows a camera facing the outside of the bays to where if they were not trying to hide anything (being deceptive) in my opinion whould clearly show the location in concern. I have asked several times for a clear picture of that video. And nobody absolutely, nobody has been able or willing to provide that information so again. All the pictures that are uploaded are from my shop. The night before I brought my car to their shop and it clearly shows there's no damage. That is not them, providing there are cameras. Those are my cameras at my shop. They have not sent me any clear-cut photos of where the concern is and keep refusing to show clear-cut photos. A pre-existing damage that has been the main issue. The whole time and nobody has contacted me. In 2 months they say they have, but they have not. I have been waiting since December 13th to talk to somebody. When the gentleman said angel said he would call me back and have yet to hear from him, and that was December 13th. So no I am not satisfied. Poor willing to accept this business's proposal. They are absolutely lying about things. Because those are not their pictures.They are mine from my shop, showing my evidence that there was no damage before I brought my car to them

  According to the case notes, the customer spoke with the Zone Vice President, Tripp, on 1/22. During that conversation, Tripp agreed to have the vehicle inspected and assist in repairing the axle at our Kennesaw location with our Area Operations Manager, Eric, as a courtesy to the customer. On 2/12, the customer sent a text to Tripp reporting additional damage caused by the axle. Tripp called the customer and asked if he had returned to Tire Discounters as they had discussed on 1/22, to which the customer replied that he had not. At this point, Tripp advised the customer that Tire Discounters is not responsible for damages caused by continuing to drive the vehicle without having the axle addressed.

  This is a false statement again from tire discounters. Tripp never contacted me about having my vehicle repaired only to bring it back to a place which I had already done 1 other time and I told him I was not going to continue to bring my car back somewhere where they were not capable of fixing my car . The readout in this picture shows they are not capable of doing a simple alignment much less anything else in my opinion. I was not comfortable bringing my car back to there shops . As you can see the damage to the tires by them not aligning my car properly I was forced to buy another pair somewhere reputable and they did get it right the first time. Tripp never once offered to have my car repaired only looked at by one of their facilities which can not do the job right all I want is my car fixed and done right or compensated for the monies I had to and have to fix my car. This and my time and suffering in dealing with all this for 4 months. This is the worst company I have ever had to deal with and I will do whatever it takes legally to make them accountable for their actions.all these problems were addressed the day after the first services were done to my car

  The customer had failed to comply with requests to allow Tire Discounters to inspect the vehicle to confirm the claimed damage or supply dealer diagnostics, per our request on 1/22/25. Without the ability to inspect the vehicle, we were unable to assist further.

  On December 2, 2024 we towed my son’s car to the ******* **** location because his car would not accelerate over 5mph.
  We later received a call from the technician who said there were diagnostic codes for evaporation from the gas cap and that the rear calipers, rotors & brake pads need to be replaced and this was the cause for not being able to accelerate. We called back for more clarification from the technician, he went on to say the gas cap is $25 and may or may not fix the issue, but the worn caliper and brakes is also causing the car to stall. We declined the gas cap replacement and agreed to the brake and caliper fix.
  My son picks up the car today, December 3rd, pays $844 and cannot even drive out of the parking lot. He goes back inside Tire Discounter and is told it’s a transmission problem they cannot fix.
  The transmission problem was never mentioned. They kept telling us it was the caliper and brakes, possibly the gas cap. Now after paying $844 for rear caliper, brakes & rotors the car is still in the same condition & will not accelerate!
  Upon looking at the receipt it mentions at the bottom “after test driving recommend taking to transmission shop”.
  This should’ve been diagnosed and mentioned before they did any caliper or brake work.
  We would’ve NEVER paid for calipers and brakes if it wasn’t going to fix the acceleration issue.
  We were clearly taken advantage of and Tire Discounter swindled us out of $844 and we still have a vehicle that will not accelerate over 5mph!
  I talked to Logan who could not confirm anything the technician told us the night before. Logan danced around the issue that the car still will not accelerate and kept stating that we needed new calipers and brakes anyway.
  We were told flat out that the replaced calipers, rotors and brakes would fix the acceleration issue. We were NEVER told about it being a transmission issue until after we paid $844 and tried unsuccessfully to drive out of the parking lot.

  Thank you for bringing this
  experience to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address your
  concerns.
  Based on the notes from
  the service invoice (attached for your reference), the vehicle was brought in
  for an inspection due to a reported issue of "bucking while driving."
  After a thorough assessment, our technicians identified problems with the
  transmission, brake pads, rotors, and a stuck caliper. Your son was advised
  that the transmission may require attention from a specialized transmission
  shop; however, the current condition of the rotors and the locked-up caliper
  could also be contributing factors to the issue he was experiencing.
  Since filing this BBB
  complaint, you have spoken with our Regional Manager and are awaiting a refund
  for the warrantied brake pads, rotors, and associated labor. Please note that
  refunds typically take 7-10 business days to process. If the refund has not
  been credited to the card used for the service after this time, please don’t
  hesitate to contact us for further assistance.

  I took my vehicle in to have front end alignment done in September at Tire Discounters @**** ****** *** *********** *** ******. I also had to take the vehicle back in short period of time d/t the alignment being off when I drove it. The steering wheel wasn't straight across either. My wife drove the vehicle on 11/14/2024 to ******** **. and almost lost control d/t the problems created by Tire Discounters incompent actions. She called me and said the vehicle started handling like the steering was out of control, like it was on ice. Luckily she was close to ********* Co. Tire & dropped the vehicle off to have them find the cause. The owner of ********* Co. Tire contacted me and said the one of the camber bolts was missing and the other was very loose. That this also caused both upper control arm bolts to come loose & had broken the lower rt. control arm. It also caused the left caliper piston to malfunction and had to be replaced. He said basically the front end was being held together by the struts. This vehicle only has 21,000 miles on it and Tire Discounters are the only people that have worked on it since I've owned it. This happened with probably only 500 miles put on vehicle after the alignment service by Tire Discounters. Luckily we weren't severely injured or killed while driving this vehicle that they had seen twice. I contacted Joe R******* the manager of Tire Discounters and told him what had transpired. Joe R******* automatically says they didn't do this. Joe R******* contacted ********* Co. Tire after I gave him the number. Joe R******* had the audacity to imply that my wife had "ran it in the ditch!" The owner of ********* Co. Tire, ****** ******* **** Joe R******* that there was no accident, that one nut was missing from one of the camber bolts & the other was very loose & caused damage to multiple areas of the suspension d/t camber bolts left loosened. ****** ******* said the bolts were also put in backwards.
