Firestone Complaints Continued... (Page 2)

I had gone to Ft Hood Tx to have four tires put on my truck on the February 4th of this month and then I took it back on the 5th a February because the light came back on again I could give you a whole book story on this but I would rather talk to you in on the phone so please call me at 801 600 1829 and I can discuss this matter because now I have to take it 2 a dealer because both Firestone dealers could not or get something to my sensors and my computer in my truck and they could not fix the issue

I dropped my far off last night for an appointment this am a 8am for an oil change and engine light for emissions problems. Was told I would get a call after it was looked at to tell me what was wrong and to give them the go ahead to fix it. I called them at 1030am since no call and of course oil change and diagnostic done. Had I not called I would still be waiting for a call. Now I have to wait until the end of business before my car is done. This Firestone has horrible customer service they never call their customers back on a timely manner. This is the 2nd time I have had to complain on them in less than a weeks time.

I took my car to get repaired through my State Farm insurance. They were told by my insurance to use used parts in order to get paid and they used new parts against the wishes of my insurance. Now my insurance denied the claim and I don’t have $2000 to pay Firestone to get my car. I am hiring an attorney

Bad service I call yesterday 1/12/2019 to see if my car was ready and they say yes your car is ready you can come and pick it up, when I get to firestone and get ready to pay, your car is not ready, it’s gonna take like an hour, what kind of service is that.

My van was stolen from firestone , and no one behind the desk knows where my van was nor my keys that was who dthe desk or where ever they store the keys !!! Made a police report and van was retrieved and was towed to my house , with no keys , and everything of my things gone , the middle seats gone , my stereo equipment gone , my radar gone , even the van battery gone , I have a stripped out van in my driveway that I can’t even move , whoever was working at the time when my van was dropped off needs to be questioned not the new employees that are there , this is totally uncalled for and I’m to the point of contacting a attorney and the news media !

I have been coming to this store since it opened. At first the service was excellent, as most companies, as your customers base grew, your service declined.
I came back today because of problem with my rear brakes. I choose Firestone because the brakes were done before here, and I would get " free " pads. But like in life nothing is really free. Diagnose a caliper that stuck, BUT, I would need pads, caliper and disks. All for the low price of $939, but he could take $100 off. So I would pay $839. So as I was stewing in your small uncomfortable waiting room, I called Honda for their price, to my surprise, using OEM parts it was only $82 more.
I was quoted 2 hours, I waited almost four hours because you didn't have the parts. I said OK to a two hour job. After about 4 hours of waiting, and still no car, I complained. Now story was, they didn't have part. It was the part suppliers fault. After more complaiining on my part, another $50 off. WOW, I thought after a feeling of gratitude I had a thought, (they must be overcharging a lot giving me all this money) final price $689.31
The outcome never again, the last visit. I know though one sucker gone, and a hundred waiting, so no big deal to you. I am writing this for me, not thinking I will get anything from you but canned corporate platitudes.
"....A Fish Rots From the Head Down (A Note to the Sales Leader) ... The statement “a fish rots from the head down” means that leadership is the root cause of an organizations failure and demise. This is true whether that organization is a country, a company, or a sales force...."

The so called manager was talking down to my husband. And when I stepped in and told him that were is the professional conduct or just plan customer service and why would he feel the need to talk to someone in that manner and that is bad for business he no longer wanted our business and wouldn't give me is name and when I asked for the manager that's when he stated he was the manager and I told him he needs to to know the difference in customer service and we are not begging we are paying so we will not be treated in this manner. I will never return to Fire stone and I will tell my family and friends about the awful service. The store is in Amherst NY on the corner of Sherdian.

Took my car in Miami 120 st SW. First the attendant Joel told me that probably I needed a new tire after a plug was installed to resolve on the road, very bad approach. Secondly my Toyota Tacoma’s tire pressure light was blinking, which it means one sensor is bad. They asked for 120 dollars and I accepted it. They called me 5 hrs later to tell me if I wanted to leave the car but the complete reprogramming of the new sensor may take two more hours, I asked not to be charged complete, the work was not completed, they refuted saying they can’t complete it because I did not leave the car. I said to come back and i made my appointment for the next day at 8:30 am. They called me at 2:00 pm to tell me they were working on it. To make the story short i picked up my car at six on a worst condition, now the light is fixed. Very bad knowledge and poor customer service

My case number is 233-9719
I’m not satisfied with the service I have called and discussed this with sara . I want to know the age of those tires that were put on my car . A copy of the delivery date . I’m feeling very unsafe driving in that vehicle since those tires
Were placed on my vehicle . Please respond with my email . I went to the Riverhead Firestone before the bronx location and they said nobody would have them they would have to be ordered and it takes s couple of days . . So were my tires sitting in that garage for how long ?Is that why it suddenly went flat and the service manager said he put some sealant around it but to check it in the morning . Is that supposed to make me feel safe ? The rubber ages unless they are properly stored in a warehouse . I want some peace of mind . Please respond ASAP . l have photos of the broken lug nut that the technician broke but wasn’t able to upload yet ! .bshears777@aol.com

I have 2 of my cars to tell you about. I brought my jeep in 9/29/1918 the brake lines broke. $1,999.27 later I got the car home and now when I drove the car and got it past 50 there was a bad vibration in the gas pedal and steering wheel. I brought it back. Now they tell me I need a control arm and a lower trailing arm $635.98 later I stiil have the vibration and now when I make a left turn my front passenger tire has a metal grinding sound.I bring it back and now they try to tell me it's my shocks and wheel hub I did not have the last work done, My car is worst now then when I first had the brakes done. Now the second car was my envoy it went in for brakes and when I pressed down on the brake pedal it was snapping down they did not fix the pedal in fact it came back worst when i asked them about it it is not a problem don't worry about it they were trying to save me money because the brakes cost $925.74 so now my envoy is worst then when it went in And I can't afford to bring my cars somewhere else now

I had scheduled an oil change for Nov. 30 at 12:00 at the above service store. I have had oil changes there before and I have bought 4 new tires there this summer. I never had any complaints. I always believed them to be fair and honest. They did the oil change and they pulled my car out. I went to the counter to pay the bill and he told me it was $56.00. I was lost for words. I never paid that amt. I have a 2007 Chevy Malibu. He told me they used a synthetic oil because my car recommends this. They never used this before. I drive approximately 8000 miles a year. I am 79 years old. When I first came in they asked me if I wanted a Forestone credit card and get 1/2 off my oil change. They didn’t tell me it was going to be $56.00. I think this was a poor practice on this service station. They should have told me that they do recommend this type of oil and I should have had the option. I will never go there again. I will get my oil changes elsewhere.
.

I went in for an oil change and tire rotation, my car was running fine and in great condition. Firestone broke one of my lugnuts and bent my rear sway bar

What I took to be the manager ,was quite rude to me. I had ordered 4 new tires for my SUV and it took 90 minutes. The two men in the waiting room were both constantly on the phone and while I waited to speak to them,never acknowledged that I stood there.. When I finally asked where the bathroom was,he gave me a hateful look and said:" I'm on the phone." I will never go back there, I got the feeling he is a racist.

Store # 599492 I Douglasville, GA 30135 has the worst manager I have ever experienced. Disrespectful and rude!

I had requested an oil change back in August 2018 and some other needed repairs. As always I regularly check the oil on my 2004 CTS every 1000 miles. I was concerned about the color of the oil as it was gooey and very black. Mind you, according to the sticker of next oil change, I have more than 2000 more miles before next oil change. I took car back to the same location to have oil re-checked. The manager was rude and displayed very poor customer service. I ask that he allow me to see him check the oil. He said " I am not going to argue with you maam". "There is nothing wrong with your oil." I only asked a question in concern of my car, but accused of arguing. Unacceptable! He begrudgingly opened the hood to check the oil per my my request. He explained to me that the "oil stick" was black therefore this is why the oil is so black. I could not believe the words that came from his mouth. I expected better from a so called "professional and skilled" Service Advisor. Unbelievable, that he would make a statement and somehow assume that I was too ignorant to have knowledge of what my oil should look like! I am very disappointed that I had to experience this poor management, poor quality of work and above all poor service. Sadly he represents the prestigious name "FIRESTONE". Ladies, please check your "oil change" or have someone to check when using this location!

As a longtime customer, I deserve and seek compensation.

This is my third complaint about this company and they have done nothing. To put it plainly they are liars. They don't care about safety. I have one new tire and three bald tires that wore out at 27000 miles and it was a 50000 mile tire. Then offered twenty dollars off the same brand of tire. One district manager started yelling at me over the phone. Just a total blank company. Larry

This is in reference complaint #2331619. After meeting with Roger the manager at the crimson mesa az location there was an agreement between firestone and Earhardt GMC to allow Earnhardt to fix Firestone's mess. Now we I have another complaint and this has just put me over the edge and had it not been for Earnhardt I'm not sure what I would have done. Please have someone contact me and this time it should be the regional manager instead of the manager like I was told I would meet with in the first place. Your attention in this matter would be very appreciated.Diane Benson 916-934-6144

My experience? Degrading is the word that comes to mind.
I`ve been taking my Subarus to the Firestone Center in Hazleton, PA. for over twenty years now and it just saddened me to see how the personal "SERVICE" has all but disappeared the past 6 months or so. I made an appointment for an oi change, tire rotation, and alignment if necessary, but was told the alignment machine was out of order. No problem, it could be done another day. What did bother me was my bill; a charge of 79.30 for the oil change and no copy of the courtesy check that was supposedly done. I always felt good after having my car serviced up there, the technicians or service manager would go over the courtesy check sheet with me and let me know how the brake lining was, if the tires were wearing properly, if the filters needed changing. or any potential problem I should look out for. When my car was finished on Friday afternoon and went to ask about the vehicle I was told the amount of the bill. When I questioned the outrageous charge the female behind the register said I could get a discount by paying with a Firestone card. I told her I never had one and never paid such a price for an oil change and I was a gold card member which she just ignored. She finally said I could get a coupon online and she went to the billing machine and had my bill reduced to 60.13. The high price of the oil change didn`t bother me so much as the impersonal attitude and the lack of communication about my vehicle. Now for personal piece of mind, I have to take my vehicle to a mechanic friend to have it checked out for the winter and schedule another appointment for a wheel alignment check.
I realize your company is in business to make a profit, but at the cost of the personal service that your long term customers were accustomed to and expected? It`s sad and I`m no longer looking forward to taking my business there again..
Disappointed and saddened,

HAVING LIVED 2 BLOCKS FROM THIS STORE SINCE 1967,MY DAD & MYSELF HAVE BOUGHT MULTIPLE SETS OF TIRES & UTILIZED ALL THE OTHER SERVICES ON A CONTINUAL BASIS ,I HAVE TO SAY AS A RESULT OF LACK OF SERVICE WILLING TO PROVIDE BY MANAGER MEGAN MCCARTY,I WILL NO LONGER SEEK SERVICE FROM ANY FIRESTONE STORE OR PURCHASE FIRESTONE PRODUCTS.I RECENTLY PURCHASED 2 FIRESTONE INNER TUBES FOR MY RIDING LAWNMOWER FROM AMAZON. I TOOK THEM TO FIRESTONE ,AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GREAT. HOWEVER,MEGAN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THEY COULD NOT INSTALL INNER TUBES.
"REALLY",I WORKED AT A "SERVICE STATION" WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER & KNOW THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING ANY INNER TUBE.IT IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. TRUE ,MAYBE IT IS NOT THEIR NORMAL PRACTICE,BUT FOR A REGULAR CUSTOMER ? MYSELF ,HAVING MANAGED 28 YEARS IN A LARGE AUTOMOTIVE COLLISION CENTER I CAN SENSE THAT MEGAN DOES NOT YET HAVE THE QUALITIES OF A GOOD MANAGER OR SHE JUST DOESN'T CARE & NEEDS TO SEEK OTHER EMPLOYMENT. TRYING TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM THE CUSTOMER & REALIZING I WAS A REPEAT CUSTOMER FOR MORE YEARS THAN SHE HAS BEEN ALIVE,THEN IT WOULD BE TO HER COMPANIES BEST INTEREST TO MEET MY REQUEST AS A PAYING CUSTOMER.OBVIOUSLY SHE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND HOW BUSINESS WORKS ,AS MAKING A PROFITABLE DECISION IS NOT WITH IN HER REALM OF DECISION MAKING. NEVERTHELESS,THE NEXT TIRE STORE I APPROACHED(JIM WHALEY TIRE) HAD NO PROBLEM SERVING ME. SADLY, AFTER MANY YEARS OF GREAT BUSINESS RELATIONS,I WILL NO LONGER SEEK SERVICE FROM FIRESTONE. THERE IS PLENTY OF GREAT COMPETITION IN THE AREA. I MIGHT ADD, THAT I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS AN ARMY VETERAN & SHE DID NOT EVEN THANK ME FOR MY SERVICE. SINCERELY,TERRY LASSETER tlasseter240@centurylink.net

On Friday Oct 12 I took my GMC Sierra 1500 truck to Firestone located in Brazos Town Center in Rosenberg for a wheel alignment. I got a call from the manager saying that the right front upper and lower control arms were bad. I asked him to just finish the alignment the best u can. When I brought the truck home did my own visual inspection and the lock bits were loose and the upper control arm was stripped due to unnecessary force to the rod and also the grease fitting was damaged in control arm. Please contact me at 346-857-7374

Everyone at 3 or persons been coming back complaining about engine light on. I had my car done several time still problem either the mechanic not doing his job and manager not on hi. Or watching him something isn't right

I had a life time alignment done on 6/18/14, since then I have been back a couple of times to have my car realigned. Both times I was put though the ringer just to get my car looked at. Today I went to try to get the car realigned and was told that my name was not in the system. Lucky for me I Keep records for 10 years or at least thats what I thought lucky me.The manager told me that he would go ahead an honor the life time alignment as if that was not what I had paid for in 2014. I went home and 20 mins later they called me to come and get my car. When I got there they told me they aligned the car and wrote notes that I declined the work for them to Checked out wipers,3rd brake light was not working, brake Fluid exchange, coolant fluid exchange w/ EXT life pre-mix coolant, complete Vehicle Inspection, Primewell Tire Package. They never asked me about any of those things. They did give me a print out of a bunch if items that they recommended, which none of them was a belt and what was really interesting is that the mechanic hand written notes stated that he did not test drive the vehicle because of a bad wiper and that the tag would expire next month as well as the windshield having a crack in it, which was not obstructing any vision. What was not looked at or noted was a damaged belt. When I got in the car and started to back out I noticed that the power steering was hard. I pulled back into the parking spot, popped the hood and notice that my belt was damaged. I took the belt in to the manager and asked him if the belt look like it had been cut but course he said NO and all they did was align the car. The belt had no cracks in it besides the slit from what I can see. I am writing you to make you aware that the Grandview MO store on Main street does not like to honor the life time alignment and by there actions does not care about staining the Firestone name. I have pictures if you need them. I hope you have some type of resolve for this issue.

My wife and I have been getting services at your Fort Meade Maryland location. In 2016 I had a new set of tires placed on my wife 2007 Honda civic and was told the tire were of high quality. As of late there has been a loud noise coming for underneath, as well as, a rough ride. I took my car to the local Honda dealership to have it inspected and to my surprise the tires were the cause of the noise. Honda went on to say that it was due to feathering of the tires. I did some research on the tires and found that the reviews were very poor,and that a number of other drivers have experienced the same thing with this particular tire. I called the fort Meade store to find out when the tires were purchased and was the warranty still in effect. I was told that I needed to be able to provide proof of rotation and alignment every 6 months dating back to the date of purchase. I want to know why your company continues to sale a subpar product and when a customer attempts to exercise their warranty, they are met with road blocks that make it difficult. Furthermore this year I took the same car to your fort Meade location for and air condition service and repair. At the end of the day I went to pick up my wife's( I never received a phone call to let me know that there was a problem)car and was told that it would not start. I was told that all the techs. had gone home for the day and that the would continue to work on it the following day. The following day I didn't receive a phone call with a status up date, so again I called to find out the status of my car only to be told that now it was completely immobilized and that it had to be towed to Honda for repairs. After a day at Honda I again had to call your store for and update only to be told to contact Honda. Honda informed me that the security system that was installed had fried the CUP and that was why the vehicle would not start. After the repairs were made and firestone pick up my car from Honda, and I went to pick it up from firestone. When I asked your tech about my security system that they cause to be damaged, I was told that the old system that had to be removed could be reinstalled. I was told by store rep the that the security system was something that Honda would advise against, but Honda not only recommend that the system be used they installed it. My firestone card was charged for the cost of the AC repairs they paid for the cost of the cpu replacement. My security system that was installed by Honda but told that Honda would not recommend was remove and not repaired or replaced. I was told that this was a common thing, if it is why have I been able to have my car repaired before and the LoJac has never caused this to happen before. I don't think that the base commander would be happy to know that veterans were being given such poor service and furthermore not being given truthful information and updates about their vehicle status. It makes me question weather your techs are qualified to do make these sometimes expensive repairs.

I don’t think it’s customer friendly to have the customer be the delivery person between store locations that are quite a distance from each other (at least 15-20 miles each way). How is this putting the customer first if we are doing all the running around for a simple battery replacement. I understand there is a charge for disposal of hazardous materials (such as car batteries) but I don’t think I should be charged this amount considering more than $10 has been spent in driving back and forth across town.

I have been a customer for almost 9 years and utilize Firestone for all my auto needs. I went to the Fairview Heights, IL (Store #15288) on Sunday, July 15th and received poor customer service from the new manager, Carl. A cover under my vehicle was hanging, which only needed a screw, clamp, or temporary removal and he completely blew me off. He stated he wouldn't be able to get to me until Tuesday despite how minor of a situation this was. I could understand if I were asking for an oil change, a major repair, or new tires, but this was an issue that took all of 10 minutes for one of your competitors to resolve. A competitor was kind enough to remove the cover and wrap it up in plastic so that my vehicle would not be at risk of damaged over the next few days from this cover getting ripped by getting caught on something. Firestone was the company that ordered and installed the cover for me once before. However, this individual didn't even feel the need to make an attempt!

I have NEVER experienced such rudeness and disregard as Carl displayed. When the prior manager or prior employee by the name of Mike was there, he always showed compassion for the customers and would never send a client on there way to a competitor.

I am so disappointed this client experience that I have decided to either change Firestone locations, which is an inconvenience to me as I live in Fairview Heights or I just may need to find another auto service company.

Someone needs to give him customer service lessons to work on his skills because he has none! The new management assignment to the Fairview Heights, IL store is disappointing!

First I would like to say is,what happened to management and the experienced mechanics at this Firestone (west 5th,Pine Bluff Arkansas),I'm sitting here with a group of male customers who all are complaining about this particular store.I scheduled my appointment for 7am for an oil change and tire rotation, didn't leave until 10:30am.When I arrived the(opening) technician,not a manager,he was nice,but his other technicians didn't arrive until after 8am! My complaint is that when I arrived to this Firestone,my truck was driving fine,after my oil change and tire rotation, I left to run an errand,and felt like something was different about my vehicle,after running my errand,when tried to put my vehicle in reverse,it shut off x3, when it finally started the 4th time,put in drive,it was making a rumbling sound under my hood! I've never had this problem! I was afraid to drive it to my next appointment (which I had to cancel),so I drove it to the nearest Exxon full service,called my fiance so very upset. I also called this Firestone back,and let the receptionist know I was having a problem with my vehicle, I just left there from getting an oil change and tire rotation ( she was nice(and sent the opening (technician).He stated to my fiance that"it's probably the motor mount" ect ect...When in all actuality he truly didn't know.He trailed me back to Firestone,put my truck on the machine,and claims the print out didn't find anything,it's out of his hands,he really doesn't know what's wrong.But my fiance checked my fluids before my appointment,when I gave him my printed receipt of services,it showed that the technician checked everything as if he checked them,but really didn't ! When my fiance asked the opening technician why would they check all of these and knowing it wasn't done, and how many other customers have y'all done this to, especially female customers,he had no answer! I really don't know where the manager was,but I do know that the service is definitely not the same,they have so many (young)new people, including the manager,and so many complaints. I haven't had any problems until now and I'm so very disappointed. I'm now having to take my vehicle to a Chevy dealership to see what's wrong with my vehicle because even though it was put on a machine, I was told by the opening technician,he really doesn't know what to tell me. I never got a print out from whenever it was put on the machine, I left there in tears,just disgusted.While waiting on someone to bring my truck out,there were three gentlemen waiting,and their conversations were all(negative) about this particular Firestone location.I sat there and listened on how many repeat visits they had to make because of repairs that they thought were fixed but had to keep bringing their vehicles back because it either wasn't done right the first time or they made the problem much worse..I'm sitting here listening to this in tears,like okay,it's not just me.I wanted to bring this complaint to your attention because it's truly not the same from when I came in the past. Ive purchased tires, gotten my oil changed,and tires rotated with no problem,and have noticed all of the older experienced technicians are no longer there,which is what the three make customers all stated. I have friends and family that I referred to this location because at that time it was truly wonderful service,but now they will no longer come here because of what happened to me today.The only positive thing I can say about the experience is that the female receptionist was nice and she was apologetic, and even though the"opening technician"was nice,he was not knowledgeable about what was going on with my vehicle. I felt like since they were already an hour behind,it was a rushed job,and something was done to my vehicle,but they would never admit it. I believe that when you trust someone to do the job right and you're spending your hard earned money,no one should be treated like this way.Enclosing,I would like to thank you for your time and I pray that you take out the time to fix the negative issues that are happening at this store.

Went by store 355332 on 7/5/18 around 10am, spoke to Mgr Nick about my 2005 Nissan Altima. He stated that he was unable to get it in and to bring it bac tomorrow. He took my name and phone # and set an appointment for me to bring it in on7/6/18 @8am. I checked in on 7/6/18 @7:34am and per work order will receive by 3pm. I requested a diagnostic and to check the catalytic converter. He was very knowledgable about the converter. Asked if he could keep it for most of the day.stated no problem. No communication all morning, expecting to hear about diagnosis. Called at 12pm, spoke with aTecnician that stated that the car has not been looked at and it probably will not be looked at today. Stated to him that the car was brought in early. He put the Mgr Nickon the phone. I asked why my car was not seen. He began telling me about a Tech calling off and having only 2 techs working. They were behind from yesterday. As stated that we handset an appointment and he had until 3pm. He stated that I could come and pick up my car and that they will not get to it. Stated it many time over. Requested Corporates #. He said that nothing would be done and I could come and pick up my car. Looked up Corprates # and spoke to Vivian C, very professional and helpful. Called another office down the road to get me in. When I arrived to pick up car, they had brought it in because Corporate had called. This should not have happened-communication is a key. Mgr Nick became very unprofessional in assisting his customer. If I sit in the office they get to your car. I have had a Firestone card forever and have paid it off continually. Very unhappy with that cusomer service. Hope to not need service again and will travel to the other office down the road. Eric at the other office very accommodating. In all aspects of Customer Service is Communicting effectively. Too old for unprofessional behavior!

A few months ago we had a blower replaced. We picked up the car and all seemed fine. Two days later, heat blew only from the drivers side. We contacted Firestone and was advised that somehow a piece of plastic was broken and that the dash board would need removal and that was expensive work, another $1000. The charge for the first repair was over $900. We could not afford this.

A short time later there was a loud noise coming from the car after the car was turned off. We recently had the car checked, not by Firestone and learned that there were there were several hoses and wires that were unconnected. This was discovered after the dash was removed.
We believe we were done wrong by Firestone. We have been customers of Firestone for almost 30 years and have in the past overlooked messed up jobs, but this is one ridiculous. Just look up the service record.

I must say that the employees are always been courteous.

I would like to be refunded our money back and have the balance cleared. We have been disturbed over this matter for quite some time, but did not want to complain as this is just outside of our comfort zone. There was an incident where Firestone decided that one of our truck was salvage and prepared to have it towed. We just went and got our truck. That truck was operational for years after that. We did not complain!!

I am extremely upset about the wear on the Firestone tires that came on my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 when i purchased it new. I have 17,600 miles on the truck and the tires are just about worn out. I did not expect this to happen as i always had good performance from all of the Firestone tires that i purchased over the years.Firestone Transforce LT 275/70R18 AT OWL. I never thought i would have to put tires on my truck at this amount of mileage.

I I took my car there to get it check for knocking noise up under my front end of my car ok they checked it and said it was my sway bar so i paid to have that done then a couple days later I continue to hear that sound. I Took my car back to them and let them drive it again with me in it and yes he noticed the popping and knocking sound so they checked it again and they said it was my intermediate streering shift and so i paid some more money to firestone on 104 WOODMAN DRIVE to have that done a day later again it's back doing the same thing now i just dont what to do i dont have anymore money. I feel that they is ripping me off and they just don't no what the problem is but continue to say let's try this it should take care of the problem if not it just might be a continuous issue. I spent around $1200.00 between 3/8/18 to 3/29/18 and they still didn't take care of the problem.its sad how they can just take people hard earned money like this

Ordered two tires for my truck when i got there they had gotten wrong size. I drove a hour and a half to get there and i call two times the day before two make sure everything was good before i came. They found two tires 2.5 hpurs away 3 hours later still waiting on tires to arrive. I estimate ill ne here five or six hours today no way to run a business im very upset to say the least. The store is in Hickory NC i would like something for my day spent waiting at this store.

I went in to have an oil change & tires rotated. They give me a paper with a total of things I should have done asp. $1478.31?Tell me I need a new battery!( It is new), one of the boots has a crack,(lies) Need new axle shaft(lies). Took my Blazer to a Auto Care specialist this morning and your people are a bunch of liers I'll never go of buy Firestone again! I don't like being taken advantage of because I'm a woman, I know quite a bit about cars. I'm no bumby. Invoice 184597- store 025291

On December 6, 2017 I called to schedule a alignment on my husbands 2500 Dodge diesel 4x4 truck that has a lifetime warranty on through Firestone. Store #328318 on Fort Carson is the closest (45 minute drive, one way). I asked the tech to quote replacement tires: 285, 70R17. I confirmed the appointment for the alignment and said I would look around for a better price than what he had quoted. H&H tire was able to beat the price by over $109.00. On December 6th I called back to the store to let them know yes, I want the alignment, no, I do not need the tires. The appointment was set for December 7th at 1:00 with a estimated time of 1 hour. On time the front desk tech states he will price match H&H tire. They only have one of the 285 70R17. They call the Academy store and order one from them to be picked up. They changed the estimated time from 1 hour to 4 hours. At this point I'm willing to work with them, they are trying. They confirmed my phone number because my husbands was in the computer and he is deployed to Iraq. They state that they will call me when it is ready for pick up. It's now 4:00 and I have not received a call. I wait until 4:15, now I have to leave to make the 45 minute drive to pick up my child. The same tech states I need a different rated tire and they will have to order it in and it will be here the next day. I explain that the 285 70R17 is what I requested and to just leave them on. The tech states that they didn't put the two new tires on the truck. OK, to clarify I asked if they at least got the truck aligned. The tech states, NO. NO!!?? I ask why didn't they call me. He blamed his boss and said he was suppose to call. Conclusion: I scheduled a appointment for a alignment, NO ALIGNMENT WAS DONE under the lifetime warranty policy that was purchased. They claimed they would price match and replace two front tires, TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. They stated they would notify me when the vehicle was complete, NOBODY CALLED ME IN OVER 4 HOURS!!!! My time is valuable with my husband deployed and it is only me to make things happen. The customer service of this transition is not acceptable at any level. They did not try to reschedule the alignment, explain how they jacked up a quote or honestly say H&H is the better tire service and I should go with their tire. Your tech just stood there with a look of hoping I would leave. I had to pick up my child and the staff had proven that they are utterly incompetent when it comes to training, customer retention and customer satisfaction. My work order # 085782. The tire quote was separate and they did not give me a copy. I'm disappointed in the store and the lack of wanting to do a good job when they offer a service. I would like to know what happened, just how do you explain doing nothing and not calling the customer knowing that they will return and not be pleased.

I just went to the Firestone in Hanford California. I got there at 10 minutes after five. They close at 6 PM. They have eight bays and three of them were occupied. And they told me they didn't have time to do an oil change. I believe they had plenty of time and plenty of employees and I think you have a huge problem at your Hanford location.

On Friday 10/27/2017 I went to Firestone the one located after Advance Auto Parts Lake Underhill Rd 32822 for a oil change and they also checked my tires, since I paid the free alignment check always, but anyways, I didn't check if they actually did everything right and didn't make a mess, I trusted, which that was a huge mistake. Yesterday, Monday 10/30/2017 when I went to turn on my car to go to work at 6am it made a ugly noise coming from the engine, I turned off and on the car like two times to see if it would do it again and open the hood and check, there was, is, oil all over the cover that goes over the engine, a mess, and the cap of the windshield wipers is not on, and I can put it on like I used to, don't know what they did to it, but they messed it up. You can noticed they rushed over my car to do the work. Don't know why they even took off or touch the windshield wipers cap if they didn't put not even a drop of anything there, it's empty you know. My car is new, I still pay for it, it's been always in good, excellent condition, never gave me any kind of problems up to now, that it made that weird noise and it's acting up. Firestone is completely responsible for this and I want this people to know what they did. My windshield wipers cap I want it to close and open like before, even if you have to buy everything new again. I want answers and soon. Thank you

Last year I purchased another set of Dueler H/T tires for my Toyota Tundra (p255/70r18). These tires were rated at 60,000 miles. I had my oil change and tires rotated today 10/03/2017 at Firestone 7303 Midlothian Turnpike, Richmond VA. I was told that I needed another set of tires. I have less than 30,000 mile on the tires and I paid close to a $1000.00 for the set. Whenever I am having a oil change I always get my tires rotated which is recommended by Firestone. I have alway used the Dueler tires on my truck for years up to this point and always had to replace my tires well before the 60,000 miles. I keep the truck aligned which is also recommended. My major concern now is that I have to buy yet another set of tires for my truck. It is clear that these tires are not performing like advertised. I could have bought a cheap 30,000 mile tire for a lot less money.

This is my third or fourth set of tires which didn't meet your standards. To this point I am a loyal Firestone customer but I want to get what I have paid for. If possible I would like another set of tires. I certainly have paid for them.

I have always received excellent customer service and work from this Firestone and hope to continue being a customer.

I purchased 4 primewell tires for my f150 less than 2 years ago kept tire pressure check had tires rotated all 4 tires has became uneven like little eggs making my truck wobble unbelievable I had the front 2 replaced with used tires I am a senior citizen cannot afford to purchase new ones I do have the receipt for the primewell tires please help

I went to the Firestone in in High Point North Carolina on Gordon Road I called and ask them can they replace my battery they assured me that they could I have my car towed up there and the tow truck driver was in the trunk to get the towing package in my trunk was absolutely perfect. A day later Firestone customer service called me back and said they could not fix the battery it will have to go to BMW well I got the car to BMW and when I got the battery put in and started driving off I noticed some lights came up with warning I took it back to BMW.

BMW said that somebody else was fooling around with the trunk and they disconnected something that they didn't have to disconnect and broke something. I asked Dave and Firestone will he make good on that I even offered to pay for the part if they would just fix it it's been 3 weeks and I have not gotten any answer from him and I have not spoken to him and he has not called me back now the battery cost me $450 and to fix what Firestone messed up cost $580 I'm willing to pay for the parts and have them fix it. I can't get any answers and the technician said he knew about BMW's and he did not know that it was a building key for the key fob and he came into the trunk by the back seat you can get access to the trunk and he broke something when he could have just used the key to open a trunk.

Now my car is going off saying the trunk is open when it's not open he also the rear view light license plate lights will not come on and was sold alarm keep going off every 5 minutes and it's been that way for 3 weeks like I said I'm willing to share and the cars but Firestone to this point have given me no satisfaction. I have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars there I have run Flats on my BMW that cost $550 for each one and I must have bought 15 from you guys alone besides the two knobs and fixing everything else and this is the first time I have been treated like this.

Had to get a my car serviced and took it to Fireston down the street. The workers were friendly and professional. They took my car in the back immediatly. I didn't have to wait long for them to be finished. The entire experience was great, and I will take my car there again!
