Tires Plus Complaint - AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! - Fuel Pump, A/C fix, Brake Pads

Fuel Pump, A/C fix, Brake Pads - Complaint
Review by Joe9883748 on 2010-08-27
EAGAN, MINNESOTA -- DO NOT GO HERE!!! They may give you the cheapest quotes for a car repair (that's why I initially went there) but the parts they put in are CHEAP and WILL BREAK!!
I first went in because my vehicle was having a hard time starting. They determined that my fuel pump was bad. Fair enough, that's kind of what I expected was wrong. Then the sales manager very slyly convinced me that the front breaks needed to be replaced so I went with it. While they were at it, they checked for leaks in my A/C and recharged it.
I drive my car off of the lot and get onto the freeway and my car starts dying. Just completely stalling and shutting off. So they came with a tow and brought it back to the shop where they determined it was a bad fuel pump and they would replace it. So I get my car back again and no more than 24 hours after my car is having a hard time starting AND my A/C doesn't work anymore. So they determine that it's ANOTHER bad fuel pump and NOW my A/C is leaking and needs a new condenser. So I (stupidly) okay the condenser to be replaced and he calls back shortly after telling me that they broke a pressurized line and it's going to cost another $150 to replace. Bah.. okay so I did it (again, stupidly). So I get my car back and NO MORE THAN 12 HOURS LATER the A/C stops working. So I AGAIN bring it back to them and now it's the Evaporator which is leaking and it will cost $894 to replace. That's when I finally stopped.

SPARE YOURSELF THE TIME AND MONEY BY GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! They WILL give you the runaround until they get the most money out of you as they can!!!!

I know exactly what Tires Plus you're talking about. I don't know if the same manager is there but he was a complete jerk. They put a junk clutch in my truck and a year later tried to say I somehow broke it. They eventually covered it under warranty but what took 4 hours to fix when I was paying them took 3 days to fix when I wasn't. I wrote a complaint e-mail and ended up getting a bunch of gift cards. If nothing else, do that so at least you can get a free oil change or two. The Apple Valley location is better. Not great, but better.
