Elk River Tire & Auto

I brought my grand Prix in because the previous owner had HID headlights installed and they went bad. At tire and auto they told me the factory wiring had been removed to accommodate the hid wiring and somehow it would cost over 400 $ to revert to factory lights. Not wanting to pay 400 just for headlights I chose to defer and looked elsewhere. I happen to know the previous owner of the car and he told me that was bs, he did not remove the factory wiring to add the hid kit. Sure enough when I took it to precision auto tune down the road it took all of 2 seconds for him to find the wires for the factory bulbs. And precision didn’t even charge me anything. I just got my own bulbs and plugged them in myself. I would have been out 400 $ if I had chosen to get work done at tire and auto.
I’ve had work done at tire and auto a few times over the years and this makes me wonder how many times I’ve been ripped off. Obviously I won’t be returning and I happen to work with several people in elk river who need routine maintenance on their cars. We regularly talk about where not to go to get work done. Guess who made the top of my list!

They lost business to discount tire. The cheapest set of 195÷65÷15 they had was $ 550+ installed. They were also very pushy to get me to set up an appointment on getting a set installed. No thanks.
