Well that plug turned into 4 new tires and a full extra service/insurance package. I had not been back until today when I could not get into my regular service place for an oil change and tire rotation. Remembering my last experience I marked my two back rims just to make sure they did get rotated. As I waited in lobby the scheduler came out with the obligatory 4 or 5 hundred dollars worth on service I needed, including a wheel alignment. I said thank you but just oil change and tire rotation today. About :30 later car was "ready". I paid and left. When I got home I checked and tires had not be rotated. Called Tire Choice and they said they had been rotated, he said she said I guess. I wonder if I got the synthetic oil I paid extra for? I did file an online complaint to Florida Attorney General. I'd like to contact owner but no contact information?
i had a similar experience a few years ago ... i would NEVER take my car to this place

Default it pays to shop around

I live in the middle of Tire Choice colony and Tire Choice on Wedgewood. Needed golf cart tires mounted and with the noise on this thread I called to see if the price was the same ???? NO WAY !!!!

COLONY $25 per tire
WEDGEWOOD $15 per tire

Guess where I'm going now.

I don't like Tire Choice either. But, yesterday, I had a screw stuck in my tire. I drove across the street to the Colony Tire Choice, they fixed it in less than 30 minutes, and charged me $38. I was afraid to drive to Wildwood because of possibly getting stuck with a flat tire. Did I have another option?

Yes you did, it is the spare tire that you carry in your trunk.
