today after rebuilding the front end in my black 93 i take my car to tire condom to have the allignment done and 5 hours later i get it back and for 89 bucks i have a car that pulls to the right and my front tires are now set back so far in the front wheel wells that when i turn left or right the tires rub the inner liner. i cant believe this. this is why i dont want anyone going near my cars, if i could do it myself i wouldnt let anyone allign it. tomorrow morning the car is going back and i am going to make every duche bag in there wish they never applied for the job. i love what money gets you these days, a simple allignment but mr cigarette man who was working on my car had one thing on his mind, to hurry up and punch out, i wouldnt mind punching his ass out myself now. and people wonder why i am always in a bad mood, this is the crap i deal with daily.

LOL!


Sorry to hear about your bad experience Jamie, they seem to be going around.
 
Firestone lifetime alignment...159 bucks...I know I am an LS guy, but lifetime for a 4 wheel alignment si real reasonable. I've had mine done twice since the first one, less than a year ago.
 
Yep...they put the new 16 year old on your car I bet.
I had to go back 3 times for a valve stem leak when I bought those 20 spokes from you.
I told the manager to put someone on it whos was older then 13.
 
no they put kojack on my car, i saw the guy, looked like me, bald, butt hanging out of his mouth, and looked like he was pissed at the world, just like me, only he had about 10 years on me.

Crabby old $hit sounds like.
Read the manager the riot act you never know what you might get out of it.
The manager at the tire puss store by me still does stuff for free for me, last week he plugged a tire no cost.
 
Better than Mrs. Tire! even though I told the Service Advisor and he wrote it down on the paper, the failed to turn off the air ride and blew out a line. Oh did I forget to mention they didn't tell me and kept the car till exact closing time.. no we ll did I also mention they never aligned the car or balanced the tires that I paid for...no.. well did I mention that they put clear plastic packing tape over the rupture? No.. Well sorry my bad.

Goodyear owns Mrs Tires they were very nice but the Manager didn't want to fess up to anything stating it was like then when they got it - OK even if that were true why no alignment or balance??- My Insurance co took care of everything and sued them. It was sooooo nasty I had to sign a waiver that I would never step foot in a Mrs. Tire again. Fine with me. Oh they did can the Manager...I think the tech that did it all is now the new manager...
 
There's a place called Tire Condom?

No, it's just when Jamie's pissed at someone or some place, he has a new name for them. He comes up with some good ones. I think he meant (Kingdom) which I don't have anywhere around me.

I'm sure cigarette man has heard words today that he has never heard in his life. Wish I could have been there to see it. :rolleyes:
 
well the verdict is in, they took it back this morning and im sure the retard at the counter didnt expect a morning welcome from me, after a few choice words, i left the car and got a call around 4 pm saying it was all set, i went back and guess what, tires are still shoved back, and this guy says well the car is all in spec and there really isnt anything we can do about it. oh really?
i said ok, lets go inside then and get my keys, so he hands me my keys, gets a kid who worked on it to talk to me, the kid says he did everything he could, and if i want, he'll pull it back in and try some more, he said i'll do my best, i said i see your best, and it isnt good enough, so i grab the keys and the manager says do you want your reciept i said no wipe your ass with the reciept and walked out, so after i get in the car he runs out and knocks on my window, he says sir what would you like us to do and i said nothing, you already had two chances, how many more do you need? i said i contacted your corporate office and i'll deal with them now and he says sir you didnt need to do that and as he continues to try and talk to me i cranked the radio up and lit the piss out of the tires leaving there, he was standing in a cloud of smoke with my paper work just watching me drive away. my buddy adam told me they fired the whole crew there and hired all new guys, he had a friend that worked there till they all got canned, he said if i knew you were gonna go there yesterday i would have told you not to. so i drove over to the ford dealer across from my shop and didnt even say anything to the guy, i said just tell me what your eyes see, he said your wheels are too far back, i said ok thank you, im not going nuts, i said can you guys make it right in one try, he said absolutely, so i made an appointment for tomorrow bright and early, now im gonna get my money back from wild condom and maybe then some. bastards.
 
When you get the car back from the ford dealer have them print out how far out of spec the car was.
Every shop should do a before and after print out if they dont they cant prove any work was done.
With your before and after print out from the ford dealer go back to tire Puss.
But go back when the place is full of people.
 
Damn that sucks. Thats why I hate to have others workin on my car. Thank God the last few years I have had techs to help me with my cars. Now I am kinda on my own though. I will let everyone know soon how my first alignment comes out
 
well the car is fixed, thanks to the trusty ford dealer as much as i hate stealerships, they got the car right, and in one try, my numbers were off the charts, they gave me a before and after print out and said they couldnt believe that tire kingdom said it was alligned. so i took the print out of to wild kingdom and got my money back and a sincere sorry. alls well and never going back to tired condom.
 
See sometimes we can be the good guys... Glad it worked out well and in only ONE try.
 
That's why I invested in the lifetime alignment at Firestone.
Even then, I took my car back six times once due to the pulling.
A few of those trips were due to a disintegrated strut rod bushing that they never noticed.
 
well i knew that wasnt the issue with mine because everything is new, it was just some stupid dude who wanted to hurry up and punch out, then the second time was a 20 year old kid straight out of the trailer park.
