Oil Change
Went to Mr. Tire for a simple oil change. I also asked that they change the oil pan bolt (the current one was getting rounded). I gave them information about the vehicle and the manager printed the invoice, flipped it over and asked me to sign it first. I thought this was very strange since all other invoices have the signature on the front, where you can see the charges. I picked it up and turned it over only to see that the $19.99 oil change was going to cost me almost $80! I asked him what this was all about. He said that my car calls for full synthetic oil (This is a lie). I told him no, I wanted regular oil in it. When the job was done I asked about them putting the new oil pan bolt in, and if I owed anything for it. The manger said no, they did not put a new bolt in, they didn't have any. I told him I wish he would have told me that or I would have went out and bought a new one for them to install.

Horrible Service
I went to Mr. Tire to get my tires balanced and one new tire They said it would take about 45-1 hour, so my wife and i walked to Walmart nearby. after 2 hours we had still not recieved a call, so i called them. They said they had trouble getting my lug nuts off, and the only way to get them off would be to damage them to where they wouldnt be able to go back on. They asked me to go buy some lug nuts and then they would do it. (A company with the word TIRE in it doesnt have lug nuts??) Walmart didnt have lug nuts either. I returned to Mr. Tire disappointed, but happy to see at least the new tire was on. the total was around 80 bucks. I gave him two 50 dollar bills, and he said "oh i dont have but 12 dollars in my drawer. I said, to help them out, i would just pay for the balancing now, and come back tomorrow, that way he would have enough to give me change. Well that night i bought new lug nuts, i was able to get ALL of my lug nuts off, WITH A SIMPLE SOCKET SET. so the next day i went and asked to just have my money back, that i would go somewhere else to get the tires balanced. I was told i couldnt have my money back since it was the next day. I explained that i, myself, was able to get the lug nuts off so their excuse was b.s., and that i paid for the balancing the night before to HELP THEM OUT!!. I still was unable to get any money back, or even an apology...they ignorantly told me i would have to wait for the corporate office to MAIL me a check...so now i shall wait for the money back from my mistake of being kind the night before...Mr. Tire, never again

Worst excuse for customer service ever!
I went to Mr. Tire this weekend to have all four tires replaced and an allignment check done. The work took three hours to complete, which was strike number one. The employees were completely incompetent and had no idea how to properly process a credit card payment. I found out the day after that I was charged twice for the "service" and that my account had been overdrawn by approximately $400. When I contacted the store the manager there stated that there was nothing he could do, which is complete bull if you ask me. They are scam artists who are trying to take advantage of their customers. They even had the nerve to suggest that I write my credit card number down in case the payment didn't process correctly so it could be fixed. Right. I feel sorry for the helpless idiot who falls for that one. But needless to say, they someone stole the money from my account. Now I am stuck with no money to pay bills that are due until the charge posts and I can dispute it officially with my bank. This issue is also causing my funds for my wedding to be unavailable and is causing me to potentially not be able to make an important payment on the reception hall (causing loss of date). I'm glad that replacing my tires has completely ruined my future, and that the so-called business shows no concern for its customers. If they do not pay any and all late fees that I incur due to this issue, they will be receiving a call from my attorney. The corporate office and better business bureau will also be receiving calls very soon. I would forewarn any and all potential customers of Mr. Tire of the idiocy and poor "service" you will experience from the company. Please save yourself the time and hassle and find another business.

Inept and/or Dishonest
Had a flat. Was desperate, so went to Mr. Tire. Drove in on the spare. They put on a new tire. Later, had another flat. Went to get the spare. Mr. Tire's technicians had not seen fit to put the spare back into the space saver. The space saver sits hidden away under carpet in the trunk. I never thought they would actually steal or forget the spare. When I called to get the spare back they basically laughed it off and did not care. Did they steal the stupid spare for their own nefarious purposes? I don't know, and they do not care, as Kyle made clear to me on the phone. They simply do not give a crap.

Service
Brought my car into Mr. Tire for new tires. Made an apoointment on line and picked out the tires on line. They changed the tires, but put on a higher priced tire than I picked out. The tires they put on cost me $100.00 more than the tires that Ioriginally picked out. They also did aa alignment (at least they said they did). However, they never give you the alignment sheet with the pre and post alignment figures. I have brought 4 cars this year for tires at Mr. Tire. I will find a new place. Don't let them do repairs on your car, they will rip you off. Wrote to corporate about my experience and never heard from them as well as my phone calls to the manager

Customer Service
I went into Mr. Tire for a flat tire that I had this morning, 12/13/2010. I arrived at 9am and was told that they would fix it in two to three hours. I wanted to know, at 12pm, how mush more time will it take. The person whom I spoke with told me to ask management in a very rude and unprofessional matter which I did not appreciate. So, I asked Martin Davis who told me to shut the fuck up, and that I can do whatever I want to do but I had better shut the fuck-up. I spent one hundred and fifty-one dollars with this company and do not think I should have been talked to in such a matter. This was the worst treatment I have ever recieved from a company in my life. I will never go into another Mr. Tire shop again if I can avoid it, it will be my absolutely last chioce, and that will be if I am desparate and without any other chioce. I had my vehicle towed in to that shop and this is the gratitude I get, never again, and you can be sure that none of my family nor friends will either, if I have anything to do with it. We came very close to blows! Now, that is very serious for someone who is very professional.

Broke my car
I took my car to Mr. Tire on Friday July 23rd, 2010, because I needed new front tires. After pulling up a laundry list of items they said I should have worked on, I told them to clean out the gunk in my throttle. Soon after lifting my hood, the guy behind the counter brought it to my attention that the tip of the part that connects the vaccume hose had been broken and claimed that the previous place that I took my car was responsible. They rigged the hose back up and I left. When I hit the highway, my car began shaking like crazy. I called Mr. Tire and told them about it. They told me to bring my car back. They had not balanced the tires. Then that night, my engine light came on due to the hose. Mr. Tire told me again that it wasnt their fault. On Saturday they fixed the balancing at no charge. But by Monday the air hose was becoming a bigger issue. After going to a dealership Monday afternoon to look at the problem, it was discovered that the repair would cost $518 dollars. I then called Mr. Tire headquarters and they took the side of the repair shop. Later Monday afternoon, the hose came loose and everything locked up. I ended up on the side of the road in a bad neighborhood until somebody came with duct tape to help me. I will now have to get this expensive part and use a rental car for the next couple of days.
I WILL NEVER GO TO MR. TIRE AGAIN!!!

Price Gouging on Parts
On Friday, April 16, 2010 I took my vehicle to Mr. Tire (located on 1501 York Road, Cockeysville, Maryland, 21030) to have my brakes checked. I left my vehicle there and returned to my office. I received a phone call from "Brad" advising all four rotars and brake pads would have to be replaced and it would cost $919.98. I told Brad I would call my husband and call him back. My husband called and spoke with Brad to get the cost breakdown. Brad proceeded to tell my husband that the cost for the parts alone was going to be $640.00. My husband proceeded to tell Brad that the parts at Advance Auto Parts cost $325.00 and that is the RETAIL price. Brad proceeded to tell my husband that the prices for the parts were marked up because "we have a business to run". My husband proceeded to tell Brad not to fix the brakes. I went and picked up my vehicle. My husband then purchased the brakes from Advance Auto Parts. He purchased the mid grade brakes for $325.00 including tax and had them installed elsewhere. How can Mr. Tire charge someone 100% markup for parts??? My husband thinks it is because I am a female so they tried to rip me off!!! I WILL NEVER TAKE MY VEHICLE THERE AGAIN AND I WILL BE SURE TO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW AND DON'T KNOW NOT TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES THERE OR THEY WILL BE RIPPED OFF TOO!!!

tried to rip me off
I took my vehicle to Mr. Tire to have a tire repaired that had a nail in it. I had purchased the set of 4 tires there new originally. I was told that the tire couldn't be repaired and that I needed to buy a new tire. Fortunately they didn't have a tire available that matched my car so they had to get one from another Mr. Tire. Meanwhile they put a loaner tire on my car. I asked them if I could use the tire with the nail in it for a spare and they told me no - that it was a full sized tire and that it wouldn't fit into the area in my trunk for the spare tire.
I left the store and called my brother. He came over to the shop and just walked into the back through an open bay and didn't ask anyone anything. He walked over to my tire that still had the nail in it that was hanging on a rack. He pulled out the nail and poured water on the area that he pulled the nail out of. It was fine. The nail was only stuck in the outer layer of tread and hadn't punctured the tire at all. They were going to rip me off for a tire that would have cost me $150.00 and were going to keep my tire besides that was fine once the nail was out.
They didn't argue when he told them to put my tire back on my car and they didn't try to charge me either. They had tricked me but they didn't trick him.

Poor Treatment by Ray Davis, Baltimore, 5910 Libery Road Location
Complaint: I just returned from an entire day at Mr. Tire. I called this morning at 10am asking if Mr. Tire could provide oil and tire rotation service to my car and was told yes and to bring the car in. The location: Liberty Road, Baltimore Maryland, 410-448-0077. I arrived at 10:50am and spoke with Ray Davis who told me that it would take 2 hours. I said fine and informed them that I would wait while the car was serviced.

Admittedly, there were people in the waiting room...I waited for hours while everyone in the waiting room cleared out. I then continued to wait while the waiting room proceeded to fill up with a second group of people. While waiting, no one spoke to me to give me any updates on the status of my car...I assumed that the car was taken in and being worked on. I inquired at 2:00pm, and Mr. Davis said he "hoped" it wouldn't be too much longer.

At 4:45pm, I approached Ray Davis and informed him that I needed to leavee for another appointment and wanted to know how much longer it was going to take. he responded that maybe they could take me another day, and then proceeded to hand me back my keys. i then realized that they had NOT EVEN TAKEN MY CAR IN YET. INSTEAD, THEY HAD TAKEN IN CARS FOR THE NEW GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT CAME IN LONG AFTER I WAS THERE.

I don't know what went wrong, but I CERTAINLY KNOW THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT. The only thing he said was sorry...he could have at least been honest with me and told me his original estimate of time was incorrect and given me an update so I could have decided if I wanted to stay longer or leave so my day wasn't wasted. Mr. Davis did not offer an explanation, would not provide me with a card...didn't even offer me discount, much less free, service if I were to come back. To add insult to injury, when I left and got to my vehicle, the rear tire had gone totally flat!!!

How I was treated was unacceptable by any reasonable person's standards.
