Tire Kingdom Apopka Reviews

Dishonest rip off

These guys are completely dishonest I took my car in for an oil change and rotation and balance (my car was running great no problems at all) Obvioulsy take advantage of women

I had purchased my tires through them so i get the free rotation and balance...Richard the manager told me I needed two new front tires that I had hit something and they were damaged and no warranty would be offered. I took my car to Discount Tire where I was told only tired was defective and there was no way I could have done it...they got me a me a pro rated new tire at a third of what Tire Kingdom wanted from me and balanced and rotated for free and said they would continue to do so for me for all tires lifetime

On top of that they sent me a $3000.00 estimate of misc work they claimed needed to be done, after having several guy friends review it was a complete sham. I had been in there 6 months before for the same service and they called saying I needed a new serpentine belt that mine was about to go and wanted to charge me approx 350 to replace it...again consulted male friends they said it was way too much, I picked up car called other mechanics recommended and they were half to a quarter of what Tire Kingdom wanted and .nce I took it in to a mechanic and thankfully he was honest andttold me my belt was in great shape did not need replaced...and on the estimate they gave me 6 months later they dont mention the faulty belt on the new estimate

When I picked car up they told me it was extremely danagerous to drive on bad tire when I replied I had no money to replace at the time they said well you better get someone to put on spare (noone there offered to do it) Discount Tire said although tire was not in great shape unless I hit pot hole in particular angle it wouldnt have blown

Needless to say I will not be going back there regardless of the free lifetime rotation and balance.

Dishonest service

I took my car in for oil change and tire balance and rotation, I purchased my tires there two years ago. The manager called me and said my front two tires needed to be replaced that I had damaged them by running over or hitting something, and my struts were going bad so that may also cause the problem Since I did not purchase road hazard I would have pay full price for two new tires.

On top of that they sent me a quote for over two thousand dollars worth of work that needed to be done (my car runs fine absolutely no problems) and my boyfriend and boss reviewed and said was ridiculous at what they listed and what the charges would be and what is ironic about this is the last time I took it in for service they said I needed a new serpentine belt asap and the charge would be approx $300.00 I declined the service called other mechanic referred to me he quoted me a third of the price and when he looked at it said it was fine didnt need to be replaced...now on the newest quote Tire Kingdom doesnt even mention this belt that I never had changed that they said was so deteriorated previously

I did not have them change out my tires and when I picked up the car they said they could not believe I was driving my car on the tires how dangerous it was I replied what should I do since I can not afford it they replied get someone to put on the spare with no offer to put it on for me As you can see they were certainly not looking out for my safety

So i then took my car to another place to get second opinion, first only one tire needed to be replaced but mostly they said there was no way I couldve done that damage and the tire was in fact defective..they were able to contact tire manufacturer and give me a new tire at a prorated price obviously much lower than Tire Kingdom wanted to charge me

I also have had problems with my brakes since they did them they first said it was my fault and only after me being very aggresive did they fix

Lastly my boss just called to inquire about their trying to pull all of this over on me spoke to the manager and he said "sir I asked your wife for your cell number several times so I could go over this with you and she would not give to me she said you were on vacation" that conversation never took place and when he was told my tire was indded defective I had done nothing wrong Tire Kingdom had nothing to say.
