DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

And that friends is why I avoid Texas Tires like the plague...

 

What a freaking nightmare!

 

yep, literally never take your stuff to texas tire lol . they charged me damn near triple to mount some american forces on my F150 because "theyre expensive and need to take extra care of them"

why wouldnt they be careful with them anyways lol

 

They wanted to put parts from AutoZone/O'Reilly on it, but i told him he needs to demand genuine Toyota parts as thats what fell off the truck. He freaked out when I told him he could've died. He had no idea what the loud noise was, just knew he had little to no brake pressure afterward. I thought i was going to find a loose brake hose, not a missing caliper!

 

holy hell, id be having a field day with them

 

Why not just use Discount?

 

I have no doubt.

Hopefully they made it right for him.

 

my absolute only time i needed to use Texas Tire over discount was that discount wouldnt mount my 22x12s on 33x12.5s due to manufactures recommendations.

 

He tried to save some money on 20" bro rims and tires so he went to Texas Tire. It was $1200 for 4 rims and Radar(?) Brand MT's.

 

That’s asinine, but I’ve heard similar from other people.

I brought my wheels, and had my tires already shipped to (and ordered through) them, so didn’t really ha e a problem.

The manager asked if I was sure they’d clear, I told him no, and he said they weren’t responsible if they did. I told him no problem, and we did business. Too easy.

 

good lord those are the absolute worst tires ive ever experienced. got them as a package deal on my american forces, and I had them for a literal day before I had new toyo open country MTs put on.

 

I'd be taking it to the dealer/discount and sending Texas Tire the bill. Those idiots would be done touching my truck.

 

That is how my Discount is... but the manager knows me... asked if the Generals were even going to fit and I told him nope but I have a big hammer and plan on cutting stuff... he said ok and he couldn't wait to see them on the truck.

 

Well now I’ve got a crewmax Tundra as loaner

 

Thats what I told him to do, but he figured he might have some issues getting them to pay him back. Might turn into a legal issue and he didn't want to deal with that. I also offered to get all thereplacement Toyota parts and we could fix it, but he wanted them to own up to it. Texas Tire sent a tow truck around midnight on Saturday. I'm not sure I would trust them to fix it right. I told him to call me when he picks it up and i can meet him there and look it over.

 

I wouldn't trust them at all. He could take it to a dealer afterwards for an inspection, I'd probably tell Texas Tire he would be doing that at the very least.

 

In today's edition of "Things Marines Do"

Yes, there's a spare, no it won't help

 

It's so cute though.

 

all the reasons why I hate letting bad/unknown shops touch my vehicles. I'll be sure to never go there!

 

The Texas Tires in Tyler is just bro trucks 100%... I have heard some stories from people that have gone there and they have destroyed wheels trying to mount them... the people there just don't care.
