Customer Service
They DO have the low tire prices, but the markups on valve stems and balancing is horrendous.
Free flat repair is NOT free. They have to rebalance the tire @ 5.00 dollars each.
Some of the worst front desk people I've ever encountered.
They NEVER stand behind their, always claiming that it's anything other than their people.
Look @ your invoice CAREFULLY, as they have hidden fees which will up your bill.
I will never go back again

Terrible customer service
What a HORRIBLE experience! Try any other tire company before even thinking of using Town Fair. It's obvous that management has never even talked about acceptable customer service with the employees. I heard several nasty conversations with other customers (while I wayed for 3 hours when I had been told it would be "quick") and then we all got to hear the employees openly bad mouth the customers that had just left. The list of what I experienced is as follows:
- badly sracthed one of my rims and insisted that I gave it to them like that
- asked me to carry my tires back and forth to my car in the parking lot
- Repeatedly gave me the hard sell on getting an alignment done on my 4 month old car (it's so obvious how they are commissioned)
- The coustomer "lounge" is a bunch of plastic chairs surrounded by the tire inventory to make a "room"
- I swear this happened, they took my credit card info by taking one of those really old credit card slips, that no one has used in years, and RUBBING A PEN OVER THE SLIP WHILE HOLDING MY CARD UNDER IT!
TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE - extremely unprofessional

I WILL NEVER GO BACK
I visited the town fair tire in shrewsbury ma early last week for a price on tires. first off, i waited for about 7 minutes wile all the sales people were screwing around and did no even ask me if i needed help, its amazing that they can pay all these people to goof around and not even do their jobs. i had to ask them if someone could help me, and a sales person named george finally stop texting on his cell phone, and asked me what he could do for me, and i asked him why it took so long for someone to help me when there was no other customers in line, and he told me that i have only been standing there for a minute and it wasnt a big deal so i informed him that i have been standing there for a long time, so i asked to speak to the manager.
after about another 5 minutes the manager jason came over and asked what the problem was, and i told him i was extremly aggrivated because ive been in the store for 15 minutes and no one wants to help me and he was extremly mean and unprofessional and told me that i just have to wait my turn and i told him i have waited for 15 minutes and there is 7 employees doing nothing and no other customers !!! so i just walked out and i heard jason mumble under his breath that i was a bitch!!! this is rediculous and i wanted to smack him in the face but i just walked out and went to national tire 2 minutes away and had four new tire installed and told them my experiance with town fair tire and i will never recomend them to anyone and i will never go back!!

Poor customer service and damage
I brought my truck in a few weeks back and had four new tires installed on it. Not cheap, now, I waited two hours more than they quoted me, and was apologized to by the person who claimed to be the manager, (he was not).
I got it home, and lo and behold, three out of four rims had damage to them, dark, deep scratches all around, and around valve stems.
I went in the next day, and the "manager" looked it over, it assured me that they would have one of their subcontractors paint the rims. Got me thinking, if they have someone on retainer just for that, do they damage rims often?
He told me that they subcontractor would call me to schedule a time. Either he didn't or did not know how to leave a message, so I could call him back.
A week later, I called back, this time the real manager, "Rob", told me that they were waiting for me to paint my rims. I informed them I don't read minds, and to have the painter use voicemail. He again filled my head with false promises of proper communication. Guess what? The painter either never called again, and certainly did not leave a message.
Now I have been fed up. I emailed their corporate website, only to recieve a phonecall from the district manager who angrily told me that it was ME that did not show up for these so called "appointments". How could I show up for an appointment of which I never made, or no one made for me? He refused to listen to reason, and became more and more angry. He left me with these words. "My offer for the paintings on the table", take it or leave it. Then before I could reply, he simply just hung up.
So let's see where this leads me. Town fair tire did in fact offer to rectify the situation, but only offered and never followed through, not even with a phone call. They were extremely rude to me, and treated me as if I wasn't the customer they had damaged goods on at all, but more an extreme annoyance.
Never again.

Did not perform service/poor customer service
I left my car most of the day on a Sat. to have a nail in the tire plugged. They changed the tire valve, pumped up the tire and off I went only to have the same tire flat the next day. They are not open on Sundays.
My husband replaced the tire with a spare and I brought in the tire on Monday which was not easy to do after foot surgery. In addition to not plugging the tire, they had taken my special green valve cap (which helps me determine tire pressure) and in fact, did not put any valve cap on at all.
Instead of apologizing for the error and the inconvenience it caused me, they diverted the issue by saying I had the wrong valve cap on my car in the first place. The Toyota people never complained about that and I've had my car serviced by them many times. This was a tactic by Town Fair to take the attention off their mistake.
I never got an apology. They angrily took my tire away to make the repair, but attempted to continue the valve cap argument.
So how did this become my fault and not theirs? Let's see, they did not plug the leak even though they had the car most of the day, they took off the valve cap and lost it, and did not even put on a replacement. Then I had to return on my bad foot with the tire to try a second repair. Excuse me Town Fair, but if you want to keep your customers, you will apologize to them.
I will never purchase tires from Town Fair nor will I ever so much as get a tire plugged by them. There are too many other dealers who actually treat the customer with dignity and kindness.
Please be advised, Town Fair is not the place for you.

lug bolt damaged
they stripped my wheel lug bolt and told me to get a lug nut... went to the auto store and got a wheel lug and rushed back for them to replace it only to find out it was the wheel lug bolt and they don't even replace them and to go to a garage. I got two quotes of $175 and 200. Both places said it was caused by mishandling of the car and forcint the wheel lug nuts on at an angle and should of been threaded before an air gun was used on them and the store will not take any responsibility. I am escalating this higher to corporate and even the attorney general's office if mabe. They should be careful. Then the guy also had the nerve to tell me the bolt was rusted on and that happens when you do not maintain the tires properly. they are the only ones who touch them (tires that is) and I rotate every 5-6k and put 1k a month on the car. I also park in a garage at home. there is no rust what so ever. LIES LIES LIES

changed the wrong tires
Went to get back tires replaced. One bald, one with slow leak. I know sometimes thy put the new tires in the front and switched the two best in the back. Well, they put two brand new ones in the front and kept the bald one and slow leak just as it was in the back. The ones I specifically told them I wanted changed out! When my husband called to ask them about it, they told him to bring it in but when he asked if they were going to do anything about it, the associate told my husband he'd call him back. He never called back.
Were they really stupid enough to think we wanted to keep our worst 2 tires?

terrible service &pricing scam
Second rate tires, alone, are a buy but add-ons and service charges bring the price up to average. Do not be fooled... "free" alignment really means quick shoddy work which will mean many trips to the store for correction, or expensive work at a decent garage. Workmen are not allowed to make more than a single adjustment, even though it would only take another 5 minutes. Balancing is done on a machine any assistant mechanic could use, but the workers can't be bothered unless the manager stands behind them. Unless you want to spend hours waiting for shoddy work, as I had to, spend a little more than their come-on price so you can walk away satisfied. Town Fair's final price isn't any better and the service is terrible.

Rude & Poor Service
The Town Fair Tire in Leominster has the worst customer service I have ever seen. One employee in particular, Brian, is a class-A jerk. I have been to this store twice and both times he has been rude, sarcastic, and unhelpful to me and to other customers. Both times I've been to the place I've walked out in disgust. I will never go to Town Fair Tire again, nor will I ever recommend it to anyone.

Damage Tires
I brought tires from these jerks last year for my 2005 sts Cadillac. They sold me tires for the front of my car and charge my $1, 000 for two tires with balancing and valve stems for them. They told me these tires where on a discount. I brought the tires and one year later the tires have begun to where out. One of them has a bubble on the side wall. When I returned to Town Fair Tire they told me that It was a road hazzard and that they couldn't replace the tire because I didn't have their road hazzard Insurance that cost another $13.00 per tire. I ask them if they sold me tires for $1, 000 then why didn't they tell me that road hazzard was extra then. They expained that it wasn't their fault so their is nothing that they can do. But they wanted me to sign a waiver saying that I know that the tire is bad and might blow out at any time. I told them I would not sign anything of the kind and they will here from my attorney.
