Ripoff and Scam alert!!! Don't be fooled by the sweet talking sales guy.\r
\r
Recently I purchased 2 new tires at Tire Kingdom on East Lake Road in Tarpon Springs, Florida.\r
\r
I had them fit the 2 rear tires for me.\r
\r
The sales guy was trying to tell me I needed an alignment also... there was no evidence that it needed one to me as the steering was perfect and the tires were wearing evenly.\r
\r
I declined and told the sales guy that I would get an alignment when I replaced the front tires.\r
\r
So, now the car goes in to get the 2 rear tires fitted only despite the hard sales pitch for expensive alignment.\r
\r
I get the car back and find that my steering is now very sloppy and pulling badly to the left. I also lost 2 $70 hub caps in the following week after the tires were fitted.\r
\r
Now tell me how my steering gear got messed up while 2 rear tires were being fitted? My guess is that they interfered with my steering gear to try and get me back for an expensive alignment (much more than main dealer) and covered themselves by noting on my receipt that they advised me that alignment was needed. \r
\r
I will never ever go back to this store even if the tires are free!
