Invite to be sponsor if they want to get more biz provided they stop ripping folks off!!!!
jimbo I will make book that their Main Office is well aware of stories like and are either encouraging it or keeping a low profile and will feign indignation if authorities come down on them

Default The Proper Department Responded and Threatened ME!!

I just updated my original post as to how you handle these types of matters. Over 2,000 people have read my post, and more than 30 have commented. All of this in 5 days! Your regional manager, Alan Jenkins, threatened me by telling me that if I do not remove my post, your company is unwilling to work with me to reach a solution to you taking advantage of my grandmother and other seniors, elderly, and simply anyone without full knowledge of their car and how it works. Most of us don't know much about our cars, except that they get us from point A to point B. We don't know what a worn rotor feels and looks like no more than you know how to perform heart surgery. The difference: A doctor doesn't recommend heart surgery unless it is really needed, whereas you rely on sales and taking advantage of seniors and the elderly and uninformed to take money from people for unnecessary goods and services!!

I will never do business with Tire Choice again. I went in for a brake job that was advertised in the Daily Sun. When I arrived I showed the attendant the discount coupon offer in the newspaper. I forget the exact amount but it was around $179 for all four wheels. When I arrived they told me that my rotators could not be turn down and the bill was going to be $800. I told them that was bull and if they did not want to do the job I would go some place else. They then agreed to do the brakes job but then they did not want to give me the discount for two axels. Beware if you deal with them!!!!

They do the same thing if you take your golf cart in there too. The biggest thing is they tell you your front end needs rebuilt and new bushings, chances are you don't need anything they say. Even if they have it up on the lift and shake the front end and show you. On a Golf car the majority of the time you just need to tighten everything up.

Thanks! So many are just too intimidated to take a stand and not back away....

Default Go to Wildwood Tire

As I said in another thread, because of all this bad press about Tire Choice, I went to Wildwood Tire Thursday to service my car and I was very happy with the service and the price. Try it, you'll like it... The Villages Florida The Villages Florida

I don't know if the BBB can get them out or not. The television show 20/20 often does undercover work with businesses like Tire Choice. A undercover sting would blow them right put of the water!!
Not picking on this post in particular but use it only to facilitate the following question:

What conclusion could/should be reached when there are as many of us that have been and continue to be satisfied with the products and services received by The Tire Choice (the one on 466 behind the Golden Coral)....if the commentary/complaints/issues are all aimed at the other store in Colony, I do not mean to take up type space.

As I pointed out in post #15 on this thread, the Tire Choice on 466 used the same tactics on me that the Colony store uses. I think the conclusion should be that one should either avoid Tire Choice or be aware that they may try to sell you unnecessary repairs.

I think the biggest benefit of this forum is to pass on local knowledge and spread rumors. Even if only a small percentage of TVers read TOTV, we still pass on what we read to our friends and golf groups, especially if it's a really good rumor...

I know and YOU know that I did not call the poster a liar; however, I did go and do my research into TIRE CHOICE. You are correct. TIRE CHOICE has a reputation for ripping off the public on an ongoing basis. I am willing to join the protest so what is next? Can anyone advice us how to do something to make them accountable. TOTV is a great source to help but, when it is an obvious fraud, we the people MUST take a stand. I am ready to help in any way I can.
