I too had a bad experience there. I won't go into the details, but it wasn't as bad as this.

I went to Tire Choice to get an oil change and was told that my shocks were bad and should have been replaced at 100,000 miles (I had 106,000) miles on my car. Although I didn't feel any difference in driving, I had them do the work, feeling it was better safe than sorry. I'm wondering now if I got "taken". After reading this thread, I won't be going back to them

Yeah, I had an oil change and they told me I needed new shocks all around on my 2009 Lincoln MKS. They said the shocks were "leaking." What they were leaking I'll never know. There is nothing under my car to indicated and fluids are leaking and it rides like a pillow. 35000 miles on it. I suspected a scam and sure I'm right.

Report this to Florida's Governor's office of consumer protection. My husband is on the board in Georgia and this is just what they look into and handle, among other things.
Senior abuse is tops on their list. Tire Choice could be facing a HUGE fine and other disciplinary action. |

The manager of that place is responsible in how it is run. It all starts with him.

Just got back. Thought I might have a leak on my golf cart tire. Told me to park in front of 1st service bay door and someone would come out to help me. Parked the cart and immediately a service person came out, checked the tire, discovered a nail, removed it and repaired the tire. Checked the pressure in all 4 tires. The entire visit was 10 minutes. Cost...free. I'll be back, hopefully not for another nail.

I hope this "Mr. Jenkins" keeps reading the responses to your original and follow-up comments.
We are relatively new to The Villages and let me say that we will never do business with them under any circumstances because of your blow-by-blow report. May I go a bit further and say that your grandmother is VERY lucky to have such a wonderful grandson like you who shows that you really care!

I hope everyone just tells everyone they know about what happened. I for one had experiance with them. I wanted an oil change and that was it. The guy comes out to me and shows me my ail filter it was full of dirt. The dirt was from the ground. The fact was I had personally changed it one week before. The car had been used only on paved roads. Of course I told them no. Then told them to return the car I no longer wanted an oil change. The owner or manager came out and tells me that I must pay seventy five dollars. My car was not even inside yet. I went over to my car closed the hood and drove away. Please don' t use them...

Bought some new golf cart tires there, had them installed with no problems or attempted up selling. We have also bought car tires there. If you are strong enough to avoid the upsell, they are fine.

Thanks for the heads up.... I will NEVER go to Tire Choice. Posts like this are a benefit to all. They can heed the warning or not. Totally up to them I posted about problem issues I with Rooms to Go in Ocala and basically got a bunch of crap from some posters. I really don't care if people heed the warning or not but putting out the info is help full to some.

Thanks for posting your experience and it is great that you are moving forward with your complaint.
Companies that take advantage of customers must be prosecuted....... But, on the other hand.. I have taken my care to Tire Choice on Rt 441/27 several times and have had no problems. The service and office staff are great!!!! Good luck... |
