Shop Tries to Scam Me, Ends up Giving me 4 New Tires FREE! | r/ProRevenge | #107

hey everybody rob from karma common chameleon coming at you with another Perot revenge story when Karen is the manager let's jump right in this is the story of how I got screwed over by a Big O tire store and got my revenge the manager had a very carinii haircut and vibed her but I still got what was rightfully mine out of her back around 8,000 miles ago I took my Ford Flex which was in desperate need of some tread to get new tires I was a little low on money so I took it to Big O tires because I had a credit card for the franchise from buying tires there before everyone around will tell you that anytime you bring your car in they will inevitably find some work that needs to be done to try and get more money out of you I wish I had known this sooner I went in and the manager was the one to help me price the tires and find the right ones for me my flex has 19-inch rims on it so the tires that go on them are expensive but I was paying on a card so I didn't care I find the tires I wanted and opted for good tire that would last me at least 60,000 miles I asked her to put the tires on and do an alignment after they get them fitted then I go sit down in the waiting area and wait for the job to be complete I'm sitting in the waiting area when a greasy mechanic comes out of the shop and starts looking around who's got the Ford Flex I do we want to do your alignment and we found that your inner and outer tie rods are bad all the way around and you need new rear lateral arms it'll cost about $1,300 to do here but we can do it you want us to get on that jaw dropped um no well we can't do an alignment on bad parts okay then just give me the keys I guess as I'm signing the final paperwork the manager is stressing to me that the bad parts I'm driving on could destroy my new tires my friend who was actually working there at the time pulled me aside and told me that they looked like they were wearing down but they didn't need to be replaced yet so I left the store fast forward about 8,000 miles later it's now April the inside of my tires on the rear had been worn down completely smooth the front tires only had about half the tread life remaining and I'm still making payments on the tires when I'm driving down the road there is a steady noise coming from the tires from being so unevenly worn down it was around this time I had finally gotten money together to fix my bad parts so I go to my mechanic who is honest and had never tried to pull the wool over my eyes and will give me a decent price I tell him what the mechanic and manager have big-oh tires told me was wrong with it and tell him to get it fixed and hand him the keys about three hours later he calls me back hey I'm looking at your car and the only thing that was wrong with it is you had a stuck right rear brake caliper so everything else was fine yeah everything to do with your suspension was in perfect shape no play in the tie rods it looks like you just need an alignment pretty badly okay thank you will you put a new caliper on there for me yeah I'm on it if I was you I'd take it down to the dealership they do all my alignment and they aren't gonna pull any bullcrap on you like that okay thanks after hearing that my parts were fine and my tires could have been saved by a simple alignment I was livid so I called up bago tires and the conversation was pretty short I'm not gonna post the conversation but to sum it up she told me that she wasn't trying to say my mechanic was lying but that he doesn't have a laser rack or the proper equipment to know if those parts are bad she then goes on to explain in great detail why my parts were bad and tried to make me feel stupid she wanted me to have him replace all those parts and bring it in for an alignment I told her I'd see what Tony Browne had to say about it when I pulled up to the dealership I walked in and told them what happened and what was supposedly bad with my car and they did my alignment with no fuss and cheaper so the next day after I got home from work I pulled in the driveway of my house and looked at my passenger seat where my ticket was for the alignment I had gotten done something just took me over and I put my car into reverse pulled out of my driveway and started heading to the Big O tire I called my mom on the way because she knew what I was going through and how stressful it was for me and I told her I was about to go make a show in front of the customers and see where I can make things go from there she was excited and wanted to listen in so I left her on the phone with my Bluetooth headphones around my neck where she could hear everything as I walked into the store I was feeling nervous but just shoved it all to the side when I saw how many customers there were at least seven people in the store looking at tires or waiting for their cars to get done I walked up to the front desk and waited patiently for the manager to get done talking with another customer hi can I help you ignores her and looks at the manager as she's finishing up hi are you the manager yes I am hi I believe I spoke with you on the phone a day or two ago I wanted to speak to you in regards to the work done to my vehicle okay what's your name I tell her my name and her employee starts to pull up my file as she's looking me up I started telling my story and I tell it loud enough for all the customers in the store to hear well when I came in here I was refused an alignment because of bad parts we can't do an alignment on bad parts let me finish okay I was told I needed to pay $1,300 before they would do my alignment because of bad parts and $1,300 is a lot of money so I just took my car home so I could start saving up money for the repairs I thought I needed eventually when I was feeling like I could afford it I took it to my mechanic who told me my parts were fine you told me he didn't have the right equipment so I took it to the dealership who has the same rack as you they did my alignment and told me my parts were fine shows her my alignment paperwork the sheet shows the before and after of an alignment and my rear left tire was cambered out negative two point three degrees she was trying to tell me before my tires were worn so bad on the inside because the parts were bad but it was really just an alignment issue let me go talk to my mechanic she walks into the shop for about ten minutes and I see them walk through the bay doors to go out and look at my tires she comes back inside and tells me how sorry she is and comes up with the excuse that there was two Ford flexes in the shop that day and the mechanic that was there that day got the tickets mixed up and my Flex never even went on the rack she then goes on to say she will replace two of my tires for free and refund me the $40 rack fee I was charged that day I came back the next day from my tube free tires and rack fee feeling like I've won but still upset because the other two tires I was sporting only had about 50% tread left on them when they were supposed to last me way longer I decided to write a review on Google for all to see it was basically three paragraphs on everything you've just read one week later I receive a phone call from Big O tire but I was busy so I let it go to voicemail the voicemail was basically the manager saying that she was confused why I would leave such a review and asked me to call back and see what we can do to fix it after I was free I called her back hey I missed a call yes I just seen your review this morning and my jaw dropped I thought that everything was okay after we gave you two free tires and refunded your rack fee and now you've left this review saying you'll never be back except for your free rotations while they last what can we do for you to just take the review down I was upset because while I got two of my tires fixed I'll have to end up replacing those other tires well before my new ones when they should have all been the same tread to begin with so if I give you two more free tires will you remove the review we just don't want to have to deal with corporate and if anyone reads that it will lose us customers yeah sure I'll remove it as soon as the tires are on my rooms I'll have them here tomorrow then so I stopped in and get two more free tires fitted on my vehicle I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I was signing the paperwork the second manager even told me that because I had to come back in so much that she was giving me a free oil change next time I came into the store I edited my review to say I had a bad experience but the managers did what they could to make things right and changed it from a one-star to three stars they asked me if I would still shop for my tires with them and I told them I would but you couldn't pay me to go buy tires there again I took my win and my free oil change and walked right out of there I can't say I've ever had an issue with a shop overcharging me or trying to put things onto the car that it didn't really need although it does help that I have a little bit of a knowledge of vehicles I did one time however at an oil change shop have them forget to reattach the air intake on the car not a big deal no damage caused went back got it fixed up and we were good to go you may have a gentleman's agreement with this shop to change your review but in all honesty if you don't want them messing with other people you're under no obligation to change that review even if the shop does something for you to make it better you can still leave it up the same star rating and maybe just add on that this is what the shop did to try and right the issue I'd still leave it at the one-star though once again this is Rob from karma karma chameleon saying thanks
