Big Earl’s Used Tires

I had been once before to get my tires rotated and balanced. I went in again needing to buy more time for new tires, hoping he was as professional as he was the first time. He sold me on getting new back tires since my car is rear drive and used for the front would be fine. I leave and my steering wheel is shaking. Go back in because its either the balancing on the tire or just a bad tire. The front were used mind you and the steering wheel shaking is a clear sign of something NOT right. My car was not doing this before. I was told to go back and they would fix it, so i did, during my lunch break. I left, and again, steering wheel shaking! I called him again and he said i have two options since he didn’t have my front wheel size, to either go to a slightly different size, the height was correct but the tire was slightly more narrow or buy two new tires, giving me credit for the used ones but still owing $ 120 more! I think all he wanted was to get me to buy used ones all along. If that were the case, he wouldn’t have been the shop i would have gone to. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, a local shop vs. a larger retailer and now he is making me regret it. I feel i would have gotten a better deal at a larger retailer, one stop and no hassle!!! Steer clear.

I came in on Thursday in order to get two tires put on two wheels. They did have the tires I wanted for a reasonable price. However, after they put the tires on my wheels, there were gouges in the rims themselves, going through layers of paint and primer down to the bare metal. When I pointed these out, I was called a liar by the two men working and was told that this was already like this, however, I had taken the rims off the car 20 mins prior, and I would have been aware of such damage. They said «we’ll buy you another can of spray paint because that’s all they were», and laughed in my face. I told them to take the tires off because I was not paying for my wheel to be damaged. I got laughed at again, as they waited 20 minutes to take them off. After they were taken off, I had more gouges in my wheels. I would never recommended this business to anybody looking for adequate and respectful services, especially due to the lack of respect.

Great little place if you need a set of tires to tie you over or even new ones. Great for a quick repair and good prices for the labor, charged $ 30 to install a tire on truck that I already had and had me on my way in about 20 minutes from pulling in. Guys are nice willing to help the second you pull in.

45 bucks for a used tire + mount and balance. Brand new across the street the tire would cost 75 and only 94 bucks out the door. (discount tire)
