Tire Kingdom in Wildwood is another one to stay away from. I bought four ties there for my Corvette and they destroyed my wheels installing them.

Nobody needs termite control. I've lived in Florida almost my whole life, and it's a scam they run on people who move here from out of state.

There is about a 1 in 10 chance of your home ever having termites. If you have a concrete home, that number is probably closer to 1 in 50. If you ever have termites, it will cost a couple thousand dollars to tent and treat. Repair cost depend on how soon you notice them which is usually pretty quick. You will spend far more than that on annual contracts.

And about those contracts... Read yours. It says if you have termites, the only thing they will do it treat them. They will NOT pay for any repairs.

Plus the stuff they spray in and around the house is terrible for you and your pets.

I found that Mavis Tires in Wildwood to be a good choice. They did a great job without trying to get me for additional work that was not needed.

Tire Choice on 441 is just as bad.

I went to Tire Choice on 441 for an oil change and tire rotation. I asked about an alignment and was presented with a printout indicating I needed $3K repairs to suspension and steering before an alignment would be worthwhile. Since the vehicle had received an annual safety inspection in PA within the prior 3500 miles, with no indication of a need for such work, this sounded suspicious. I took the vehicle to a Wildwood shop which was highly rated by Forum posters, got the alignment and confirmed no repairs to suspension and steering were needed. Caveat Emptor, indeed!

Well, good luck with Accurso.

They were supposed to install (and I paid for!) a new alternator many months ago. Four months later, engine is making bad sounds, so I take it to them for diagnosis. Guess what? Bad alternator. I knew right then that a refurbished part had been installed originally. That's a fail...to put it nicely.

Good afternoon sir, I do remember you posting about this in the past, and when I saw it I found your vehicle, and reached out to you to try and rectify this situation. I left a message to try and make it right, to no avail.

In our defense, most of our customers come to aftermarket shops to not use OE parts. At that, most starters and alternators are remanufactured parts, as such we placed on your vehicle.

As well you fail to comment on the fact that when you came in we replaced the alternator at no cost to you, and you have not returned, therefore I assume you have had no more problems with the alternator we installed.

If you still want a new alternator please call us at 352-748-9004 and talk to Jason, as we are willing to make this right.
