After calling around and asking about new brakes I found what I felt was a good deal plus a Neighbor highly remmended them..they quoted me $169 and some change..so I went in the next day another guy said he heard the quote, but he could do better..he quoted me a even lower price $152 and some change and I thought great..I left my car and my Partner and I walked through a used car lot that was next door when we returned he said "I just don't know how you made it in..this is cracked and that is rusted out" and my $152 quote was suddenly $207..what he did not know is I build airplanes, I've built cars I know when my car needs work and when it doesn't.. my car only began acting up and making noises the day before so I knew he was blowing smoke..first of all had there been any cracks as he stated I would have had alot more trouble then just pulling and grinding sounds..and I told him this..then I told him I had $170 in my pocket so unless he wanted them to put my car back together and lose what money I do have he better come up with a new total...he returned and said the lowest he could go was $171.98..so basically he walked away with the last $2 I had in my pocket. (I'm serious I left there with 2 cents in my pocket..we had planned on eating with the money we thought we were saving because of his lower quote, but when we left I had two whole pennies to my name) btw when they claim something is broken, but they'll fix it for free, it means they broke it so don't fall over yourselves thanking them. I had no choice it was Sun. I needed my car the next day and he knew it..so I paid the money..the only satisfaction I have other then my car being fixed and not paying the $207, but we had at the time a bad stomach virus and did not know it..we hopefully passed it on to the scammers at this place..we wont be back so Tire Kingdom you lost a customer..we'll go to Zychs instead!!

I went to Tire Kingdom in Salisbury NC on 11/9/07. Wanting two new tires, All 4 wheels aligned, the brakes checked for wear and an oil change. About an hour later I got a call telling me the brakes had quite a lot of life left. I declined replacing the brake pads. I signed the document authorizing the work to be done with a $4.00 shop charge (For consumables they tell me).

Upon returning to pick up the car:

What I got was an inflated shop charge from $4.00 to $14.00. Two $20.00 charges from nowhere?? Just an alignment check done nothing actually fixed. (But a full charge for a 4 wheel alignment on the bill). A single print out still indicating the car to be in need of alignment. They were unable to produce the before alignment printout. All four tires inflated to 70 psi. (I found this out after a short ride at 50 mph). I did not pay for the alignment, shop charge of $14.00 or the $40.00
We took the car to another company to have an alignment done, and sure enough his starting numbers were the same as Tire Kingdom had tried to send out the door with.
