They advertise online tires for my car for $73 (the website shows 5 available). I called to make sure they could take me today, and they could, so I came in (on a barely drivable tire), and they said they only have tires for $138 a piece.
It's funny because also on the website, it shows that they have $88 tires that would fit my car and that they have 4 in stock. But now that I'm here at their mercy, since my tire will not make it anywhere else, it looks like I'm about to pay nearly double what I had anticipated.
I have no choice since my tire will not make it elsewhere. I wouldn't have come here if they didn't lie online about their pricing/availability, but now I'm stuck paying almost double.

WORST experience I’ve ever had
WORST experience I’ve ever had at a tire or mechanic shop, and maybe any business ever! Do NOT go here! The “manager“ Jason was one of the rudest people I’ve ever dealt with in a professional business. There was no accountability or responsibility. There was no way to rectify the situation and he literally denied doing anything wrong to the point of he just does not care what happens to your vehicle! I brought my wife’s Mercedes into have four tires put on and left with the entire air suspension system, broken on my car and the car undrivable , grease all over the dashboard the wheels all put back on the wrong wheel and a broken car with all of the dials and dash system changed. It cost me $1100 for four tires and they broke the car to where it couldn’t even be driven, and then said they didn’t.
What kind of tire changing business even know how to lift a car properly that has air suspension and whether to turn it on or off.? Now I am left with a car that cannot be driven and I have to take it to another mechanic to have it fixed for thousands of dollars of damage caused by fire stone, and they literally do not care . When I took it to the mechanic down the street from them to have it fixed, he said that that was usual and they fixed fire stones mistakes all the time and literally have had to replace entire motors and wheels and tires from the shotty work. The people that worked on my wife’s car acted as though they had never changed the tire before and looked like they had not been to sleep in days. I will do everything I can to make sure the management and the employee of this establishment Do not do this to anyone else’s vehicle in the future.
I had no idea this is how they treated women that come in to get tires put on their car after they break their car. They just bully them into saying they didn’t do anything wrong and then you’re stuck with a broken car. My wife made the appointment and showed up on time early in the morning like they said with $1100 for four tires. They took an entire day to change four tires with no other customers there left grease everywhere ruined the car broke the air suspension and didn’t even do the alignment. And then want us to come pick up the car and have it repaired somewhere else at our expense. This is the worst business ever. Fire stone is literally living off of their name that they built from the boomer generation. But what fire stone stand for now is a complete rip off and bad work. Take your tires and your car anywhere else in this town other than fire stone Sarasota stinkney point fl

Waited over 3 hours for nothing!
I have been going to Firestone since I started driving in 1996. I have never had any issues until I came to this store at 2522 S Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80916. I had booked an appointment with this Firestone to get some brake work done while I wait in the lobby because I was hearing a grinding noise in the back when I would brake. It started out fine, I was the only person waiting in the lobby waiting for my car. They put my car in the air and took the wheels off. They said I needed rear brakes and rotors and that the guy was actively working on my vehicle and another at the same time. I told him okay and that I was going to walk across the street to eat lunch. After lunch, I came back and it still wasn't done. I sat down and watched the news in the waiting room. After I was there for about 3 hours, the guy asked if I was in a hurry and I said that there was somewhere I had to be but that this was more important and that I would wait till this was done. About 10 minutes later, he came in and told me that they were not going to be able to work on my vehicle today (after telling me that they were already working on it) and that I would have to come back some other time. It was only 2:10pm at that point. So instead of calling me and cancelling my appointment or even letting me know when I got there that they couldn't work on it that day, they wasted over 3 hours of my time on my only day off. Then, the worker tried to charge me on top of that for a "Car Care Package" that I never asked for. I told him that there was no way I was paying for a service I never asked for and especially after wasting a lot of my Saturday. He threatened to call the police if I didn't pay until he noticed I was video recording him. I did report it to corporate and I really hope they do something about it so nobody else has to go through this. I won't ever give this store my business again!!

8 hours to install 4 tires
In the past I've typically had decent service. Called yesterday to find out how much it cost to install 4 new tires. I was told $25 per tire by Berry. Since I just received an email that would give me $15 off per $100 spent if I use my card, I schedule an appointment for this morning. Drop vehicle off at 1030 am, and it takes EIGHT hours to put on four tires...EIGHT hours! I call 6.5 hours in and talk to Aaron, and he's condescending and says the boss said he told me it wouldn't be done until 630pm. Why make an appointment for the morning and it take 8 hours to install 4 tires? Absolutely ridiculous. And, they will not let me use the $15 off coupon, they say the actual total is $98, so I can't use. Will definitely be reconsidering using Firestone moving forward. I get a call 25 minutes before close saying it's ready for pick up. Now we have haven't had a vehicle all day and now all night.

BEWARE!!!
BEWARE!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS FIRESTONE!!! 11290 FL-82, Fort Myers, FL 33905
As I was fueling my F150, the gas pump kept shutting off like my tank was full. It took approximately 20 minutes to fill up. I did not think anything of it, contributing it to a gas pump that had too much pressure behind it. Truck was running fine, without any signs or symptoms of any issues. A day or two later, the check engine light illuminated. I took it to AutoZone and had them run a diagnostics test. The test revealed that I needed to replace a faulty fuel tank isolation valve. When I Googled the part/issue, I discovered that the gas pump shutting off like it did was a sign of that faulty part. The valve is on top of the trucks fuel tank and I did not have the means to do it on my own.
Being new to the area, I did not have a mechanic that I trusted. I decided to bring it to this Firestone since I have had good experiences at a different location in Dunedin, FL. I told the associate what the AutoZone test showed along with giving them a copy of the results. They ran their own diagnostics and called with the results, which did not include the part the AutoZone test revealed. When I questioned that, they assured me that their solution would fix the issue at a cost of $832.18.
When I picked up my truck a few hours later, the check engine light was off and it seemed to be running the same as before the repair, no signs/symptoms. I had to travel for work, so I didn't drive it for close to 2 weeks. When it was time to fuel up. I had the same issue with the gas pump shutting down. I brought the truck back to the same Firestone. I informed them that I felt like they didn't fix the original issue and sold me unrelated parts/repair. They ran another diagnostic test and it showed that the part listed on the AutoZone test (what I originally told them and showed them ) was the faulty one and that it would now cost over $1000.00 to repair. I feel that they just ignored the AutoZone test summary and sold me unrelated parts and repair. They failed to take responsibility and fix the issue without another cost to myself.

BEWARE OF FIRESTONE AUTO REPAIR! Brought my sports car in for a tire…
Brought my sports car in for a tire rotation which they refused to do but tried to sell me 4 new tires for 2,000.00. I said no but paid the 9.99 evaluation that stated my oil level was good but I received the car back with oil light on. The manager Tina Glidden checked the oil 6 times and said it was maybe a half quart low and sent me home. 1.6 miles later the car stalled. There was no oil in it and the drive blew up the engine. They refused to compensate me. I’m out over 10,000.00. They said they didn’t do an oil change, I said no you didn’t but someone drained the oil assuming I would buy the tires and get an oil change and drained the oil but never put any oil back before I left. Nobody will help me, it was my only vehicle. I had to quit my job and it’s still not fixed. This happened on June 3, 2023. Attorney General, news stations, BBB, and many others wouldn’t help me. Stay away from the Firestone store in Sahuarita/Green Valley,AZ. I am so devastated I can’t believe it and my life has not been the same since. They should be shut down and pay me what they owe me for their mistake. I have the proof that my oil level was good when I brought it in, but they won’t even talk to me, all the way up to corporate level. Shameful how they treated me, a senior living alone, just trying to take care of my car like I always have. It only had 49,000 miles on it and it was beautiful.

Run don't walk from this company
If I could rate this company with less than 1 star I would. I went to Firestone Complete Auto located on 2126 S Main Street in Wake forest, NC. On 4/14/2024 I contacted Firestone because one of my tires had been punctured by a nail. I have a 2018 Infiniti Q50 with 62,637 miles. I wanted to replace the tire, however, I decided to replace both rear tires. Once the rear tires were replaced I went to get into my car when I saw the emergency light come on saying "Warning low tire pressure". I showed the message to the mechanic Travis (I learned on a follow-up visit 5/11/24 is the manager) and he said it was not an issue, however, he drove my car around the lot three times insisting I may need to drive it around a few times before the warning would come off. After four days the warning came off but another tire pressure sign came on. I called and was told it was not an issue. However, on May 6th, 2024 my car would not start, I called my insurance company for roadside assistance and my car was jumped. On May 8th my car again would not start and I needed
another jump. I worked from home on May 9th. I was a little confused as I have a newer car and I have never left anything on in the car. Once jumped I was able to drive the car for a day and a half before I needed another jump. I had the battery tested at Advance auto care and saw for myself the battery, rotators, and gas pump were good. I was told to
take it back to firestone as my censor may have been damaged when I got my tires replaced at firestone. I contacted firestone and told them of the issues I had been having since having new tires installed and Travis had seen the initial warning after replacing my tires. I was told they would not have availability until Tuesday, May 14th, 2024. I informed the tech on the phone that I could not wait until Tuesday as my car was having issues and I wasn't sure how I would be
able to go and leave work. I then contacted firestone corporate office, I was hung up on by Jada after asking her to explain what happens when a file is created. I called back again and was asked by the next agent if during my call with the firestone location I received my tires from if I was offered the opportunity to speak with a manager. I informed her I was not offered an opportunity. She then contacted the store and informed them of my issues and told them the manager would need to speak with me. Upon my arrival to the store I noticed everyone had removed their name badges (they were all wearing badges when I brought in my car to get my tires replaced). I asked to speak with the manager when the tech I spoke to called out Travis' name, the mechanic that had placed the tires on my car. Travis
refused to come out to speak with me and no would provide me with their names. As some sort of joke they would repeatedly call each other by different names "Ken, Ted, etc. A mechanic then went out to my car without letting me know popped the hood and came back inside and told me it was battery and I would need to pay an additional $308.00 for an "AGM battery replacement". I reminded him I had my battery checked and I deemed in perfect condition. I then told him I would not be purchasing anything else from them and I wanted my keys back. It was at this point he asked me to sign on the electronic pad that my service issues had been resolved. When I refused to sign another tech not wearing a badge said "it just means we looked at the car". I told him I was not comfortable with that and requested the keys to my vehicle. I asked for names and still did not get that. However, on the paperwork given to me the techs
name is listed as Thomas Pleitz. The manager's name is Travis Evans, and the black guy that called himself Ken, Ted, etc., is Khalid Yasin. I obtained their name from the business cards they forgot to remove from the desks.

I always take my car to this location
I always take my car to this location, on El Camino road, because of the reliability of the diagnostic procedures before any work is done. Service Rep. Evan is extremely helpful in communicating the issues to the mechanics and diagnostic tech. Highly recommended.
