I just want to let you know what happened to my sister, Elba, who lives in the Villages. She went to the Tire Choice store on Wedgewood Lane to get a Lube oil and Filter change and a tire rotation. Her neighbor went with her to bring her home. Prior to leaving the person at Tire Choice asked her if she needed anything else done. He said they will do an inspection and let her know the condition of her car. She said if it needs any SAFETY items let her know. Remember, she is 80 years old and lives by herself. Her car is a 2005 Toyota Camry with less than 20,000 miles on it. She had been getting it serviced at Quality Tire on 466, but he was closed for a while. She got a call from the guy at Tire Choice and he told her that she neede to have the following SAFETY items done, Brake System Flush, Power Steering System Flush, Transmission System Flush, Coolant System Flush, Complete 4 wheel allignment and recommended Premium Synthetic Oil Change. Well not being aware, she said ok. He said the bill would come to around $2450. Luckily, her neighbors son was visiting and she asked him about the list. He immedialtely took her back to Tire Choice and they stopped most of the work. Some work, to the tune of $1536 was already done or in progress. This was a total RIP_OFF of a defenceless elderly lady.

You may want to pass this on to your friends and neighbors. I had my son, who is a Pa. State Trooper, make some phone calls. He contacted the Sumter County Sherrif's office and they were not too helpful. They told him to have my sister come to the Annex office in the Villages and give them the information. I will be talking to her today .

Hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend

This is a every day problem at this place. Buyer beware.
