Following cust. intructions
They are horrible. I went in for a tranmission flush, basic oil change and 3 wiper blades and the bill was $229.30. I was quoted a price of $99.00 for a flush (had a coupon), $10.00 per basic wiper blades and $19.99 for an oil change. The decided to tried to charge me $119.00 for the flush. They decieded to put an upgraded wiper blade on the car that cost $18.00 a priece and they forgot to tell me that it cost $10.00 a piece in labor. Also they charged me $29.99 for the oil change, not the quoted price!!! Also they state they need to add an extra quart of oil the supposedly cost $3.00. Also a shop fee of $25.00.
Are they stupid!!! I wouldm't pay the full cost also if you look on ther website they match prices. I am going to find low cost everything and get a refund.
Watch out for them they like to add stuff and have hidden costs. Also they are over billing for labor, which they neglect to tell you there $90.00 and hour labor rate when you make an appointment.
They are scum and everyone who has ever gone to them shoudl report them to the BBB, Better Business Bureau I am.

vehicle damage
What a nightmare! I'm taking the time to write this review to save others from having to deal with a major hassle like I am still dealing with. Mr. Tire should not be in business! All I wanted was four new tires. After taking 6 hrs to remove old tires and put new tires on my Subaru, they told me my car was out of alignment plus $1, 700 more work was needed - one of which was that my oil was low and filthy dirty. I had just had an oil change. (I checked it the next day and my oil was fine). I told them all I wanted were the 4 new tires and an alignment done (they always get you with that). I told them I did not authorize a 27-point inspection on my car. My car was pulling to the right. Took it back. They re-aligned it. Still pulling to the right. Took it back. They switched the front tires. Car pulling to the left. They knew it was going to do that so they tried off-setting the pull by tilting my steering wheel to the right and putting 44 psi in one of my tires (my tires are 32/29 psi). They said must be a bad tire. For about 2 weeks, the people at Mr. Tire talked to me like I was the stupidest person ever born. One of them even said to me "You get what you pay for." I wonder if they treat all women like they are idiots. The next week my new tire arrived and I went back for them to put it on. They had my car on the lift wrong and bent both rear trailing arms. (I watched the left side of my car drop). They couldn't get it aligned (of course) and tried finagling the alignment numbers. They wanted me to drive my car like that for a week saying it had to settle in! My all-wheel drive Subaru was wiggling all over the road like driving in a hurricane! I talked to the Area Manager, Rudy, and he said my car was safe to drive unless the wheels were falling off and hung up on me. Took my car to Firestone and realized Mr. Tire lost my wheel lock. Firestone informed me that if kept driving my car damaged like that, I would have damaged the rear differential and possibly transmission. After waiting weeks for parts from the dealership, Firestone fixed my car and had it aligned. Firestone was a savior, but I'm still having a pull to the right which means I have to still deal with dreadful Mr. Tire. It has been over a month since I purchased 4 new tires and I still do not have 4 good working tires. I'm looking for another Mr. Tire in the area that doesn't have bad reviews and it's very hard to find one... Spare yourself major hassle and headache - avoid Mr. Tire at all costs!

Service Inadequate
Mr. Tire ruined my vehicle. I brought it in for minor adjustments to alignments and tires and left with a bent rim. I then spent over 400$ replacing tires and having car adjusted. Shame on you Mr. Tire for providing poor service!! Plus this place isn't better business bureau certified so there is nothing you can do with the better business bureau.

Repair work
Took my truck up for a diagnostic check, because it had been running poorly. I got a call back from the Service Manager, telling me the problem was one of the ignition coils, then he proceded to list suggestive services based on milage, his words, not mine. He told me because the truck had 100, 000 miles, I should have a fuel service system flush, a tune-up, serpentine belt, and an air filter because it was dirty. I told him no thanks on the suggested services, but to take care of the problem part. Now before I go any futher, I used to be a service manager for Mr. Tire, not this location, and I know for a fact most techs and salesman try to sell the fuel flush because they earn a spiff ( i.e bonus) from it. The serpetine belt on my truck had just been replaced a month ago. I'll give them credit for the air filter but thats about it. Anyway, He calls me up, tells me it's ready go . I get up there pay, engage in a little small talk, and out the door I go. The shop is less than a mile down the road from me, and I was in a hurry, so I didn't really take it out to see how it was reunning. Got home, parked it for the night. Went out to the store the next morning, and it was running like crap. Took it back up to Mr. Tire, and asked why its running the same way it did when I brought it in yesterday? Answer well ... ah... let me look it up, Right! you don't have a clue there genius do you? The sanding next to him states " isn't that the one we recommended get a tune up, RECOMMENDED A TUNE-UP! I paid for diagnostic time, you told me the problem was the #5 coil. When I left last night you stated that everything was running fine. WTF! Anyway to make a long story short, got nothing from the store level, nothing from corp. offices, I filed a complaint with the Baltimore Office of Consumer Complaints. I hope you choke on the $300.00 you got from me JOEY T.

complaint
I WENT INTO MR. TIRE ON FRIDAY MORNING TO GET A BASIC OIL CHANGE. THE GUY SAID IT WOULD
TAKE ABOUT 30 TO 40 MIN. TO GET ME IN. AND HE SAID ABOUT 15 TO 20 MIN. TO DO OIL CHANGE.
SO ABOUT AN HOUR. WELL TO START, IT TOOK JUST OVER 2 HOURS. THEY SAID MY STUB WAS BROKEN AND IT WOULD COST $50.00 TO FIX. HE SAID WHO EVER WORKED ON IT LAST MUST OF DID IT. WELL, MR. TIRE WORKED ON IT LAST AND I WASN'T GOING TO PAY $50.00 FOR THEIR MISTAKE.
THE GUY HUFFED AND PUFFED BUT DID FIX WITHOUT COST. WHEN DRIVING HOME I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. I THOUGHT SOME OIL MUST HAVE SPELLED AND IT WOULD JUST BURN OFF. WELL LATER THAT NIGHT SMOKE CAME OUT OF ENGINE AREA. I PULLED OVER. OIL WAS ALL OVER ENGINE. IT MADE MY WIFE AND I SO SICK I COULDN'T DRIVE IT LIKE THAT. SO I WENT TO A NEAR BY PLACE AND STEAM CLEANED THE ENGINE. WHEN I WAS CLEANING NOTICED A DENT ON MY FENDER NEXT TO MY TIRE. I CALLED AND MANAGER WAS GONE. I WENT IN NEXT MORNING. 8:00 TALKED TO MANAGER TOM FREY TOLD HIM ABOUT OIL AND DAMAGE. HE SAID, (THIS IS NO LIE) WELL THINGS HAPPEN I AM SURE THEY DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE. SPEAKING OF THE OIL. AND SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE DAMAGE ONCE IT LEAVES THE SHOP. I UNDER STAND IF I CAME BACK A COUPLE DAYS LATER BUT THIS WAS THE VERY NEXT MORNING. AT 8:00 MR. FREY WAS VERY SMUG ABOUT IT. I TOLD HIM IT WASN'T LIKE THAT WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. AGAIN HE SAID HE WASN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MR. TIRE IS OT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE. I TOLD HIM IF YOU LOOK AT MY HISTORY I DO ALOT OF BUSINESS THERE AND THE DAMAGE IS NOT ALOT IT IS THE POINT. THEY WOULD NOT FESS UP TO THE DAMAGE. AND THAT THE MANAGER WAS VERY RUDE AND SMUG WHEN TALKING TO ME. I TOLD HIM IF MR. TIRE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT I WOULD NEVER DO BUSINESS THERE AGAIN AND I WOULD TELL EVERYBODY I KNEW. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME DURIG OUR CONVERSATION HE SAID HE WAS SORRY. AND THAT WAS TO TELL ME HE WASN'T GOING TO HELP ME.

Bad Installation, 4 New Tires
Mr. Tire failed to balance wheels after selling me a set of premium Perelli tires for over $500. (I bought them out of my area while traveling when I had a blowout in front of Mr. Tire in Marlboro, MD; I'll never schedule a blowout at such a place again!)
I noticed the typical thumping of unbalanced wheels and, after arriving home (near Aberdeeen, MD). Remembering that Mr. Tire offered me free balancing in the future, I visited another Mr. Tire, this time in Aberdeen, MD. "What's the problem?, " asked the less-than-enthusiastic counterman. "I believe my new tires were installed without being balanced, " said I.
Said Mr. Tire, "Which wheel?"
"I don't know, but the vibration sensor in my butt tells me the right-rear is reallly thumping; but please check all four."
No answer and an unhappy look from Mr. Mr. Tire. Reaching out his hand, he said in his victim role: "KEYS."
Diagnosis: Mr. Mr. Tire said the right-read wheel was "really out of balance." I assumed he checked the other three (another mistake on my part).
Finally, at my next oil change, I had all four wheels rebalanced. All four were sadly out of balance.
Unfortunately, I had never heard of Mr. Tire before buying these tires. (The tires are very good, by the way.)
I recommend you stay away from these people...unless you're buying unmounted tires to be installed by professionals.

Trouble
I went to Mr. Tire for a new tire. The technician badly scraped the rim all around. At first, management refused to accept responsibility--two immature and obnoxious guys. Then the manager agreed to have someone call me to repair the rim. No one called, so I wrote a letter to the corporate office (Monro Muffler). They promised to have someone look at the rim, but no one ever followed up. Then I complained to the county consumer affairs office. Finally, after almost 2 months, I received a check to repair the rim.
