Rebate Fraud

On Dec 29th 2009 I purchased 4 tires from this company with the promise of a $100 cash rebate. Little did I know that I had two weeks to process the rebate form or I would lose my $100. At no time did the sales person at the store tell me that the rebate offer expired on Jan 15. My rebate was processedw within 30 days - a reasonalbe time frame.

This is bad business and deceptive. I will never patronize the company again. Furthermore, I will let every person I know not to shop at NTB or any of their other companies. It is impossible to talk to a person at the comapny headquateres. The number on the website is a third party customer service company that acts as an answering service to screen the many compliants they must receive.

NTB needs to know how much business they are losing by operating in such a deceptive manner!

Oil leak

I went in to get a regular oil change in the summer of 2008. I had thought, at the time, that there was a possible oil leak, and asked if they could just take a look for me. BIG MISTAKE!! Next thing I know, the mechanic came back and told the front clerk about "the list" of parts that needed to be fixed. Now I knew there were some minor issues because it was a very old, well driven Honda Accord, but they weren't sufficient enough to hurt the car permanently. When he read the total it was estimated a little over $3, 000, which was more then the car was even worth! But after some scam artist convincing, I ended up going ahead for one part that "needed" to be replaced. After I had left the car there for a day or two, they said it was done. I went, picked up the car, and started driving home. About a week later, I noticed that as I stopped the car (stop sign, stoplight, parking, etc.), the hood would start to smoke. I called up to NTB and explained this to them, and they said it was just oil that was spilt when replacing the O-ring. So I shook it off, and continued driving. About four weeks later the condition had gotten worse. Now when I stopped it was swarms of smoke coming from the hood. I was mortified because people kept yelling at me from other cars saying, "Your cars on fire!". I had taken my car back numerous amounts of times, trying to get it fixed. This resulted in me paying for "other damages", and yet the car was still smoking. It was now almost the summer of 2009. I didn't know what else I could do so, I ended up selling it. I didn't try to scam anyone, I told every prospective buyer about the problem I was having with it. I ended up selling it for $300. AHH!! It cost me more for the initial o-ring replacement. The new owner gave me a call about two weeks later, and said that the o-ring was put on crooked!! I had spent over $600 dollars in "repairs" and sold my car for only $300!! And there wasn't anything really even wrong with it! They screwed up, and made me pay for it!! When I went to talk to them about it they said, they couldn't do anything about it!! Screw NTB!!!
