Secret Weapon Auto Salon
Joey DiGiacomo
3141 Fairlane Farms Road
Bay #3
Wellington, Florida 33414

I bought a set of tires and rims from this company in August, right away after buying the tires and rims that I spent $2,700 I noticed my car wasn't driving right, so I kept calling and stopping by the shop for assistance.

About 4 months later it was just getting worse, I kept calling the shop and stopping by but no one was ever there to help me.

Finally I went there and 2 mechanics at the shop stated the back left tire was installed wrong and that the tire was going to blow.

A week later on 441 and Lantana the tire blew out while I was driving.

I called again secret weapon and no one answered or called me back. I had the car towed to Tires Plus in Lantana, who said that the tires on my car where wrong size that I shouldn't be driving on them.

I than brought my car to Mercedes of palm beach who said they wont even work on my car with those tires due to that I have the wrong tires on my car.

I than went to Apex Automotive in Wellington who said that all 3 tires that I had left where completely not allowed to drive on, and that whoever put my tires on my car installed the wrong ones.

I bought new tires from Apex Automotive which costed me approx $1,200

I than once again tried to contact Secret Weapon and no one would help. I brought my car back to secret weapon and spoke with Joey the owner who said he isn't doing anything and its touch luck.

This guy has costed me so much time and aggravation im not sure what to do anymore. I shouldn't of had to pay to get all new tires only after 4,000 miles where on the old ones. I have spent well over 50 hours of my own time trying to get this resolved, I have spent over 4,000$ so far and it really has put a hurting on me.

Please let me know what you think I should do. I cant stand this guy, he is such a scum bag.

THIS CLAIM IS COMPLETELY BOGUS....BRANDON IS USING YOUR ESTABLISHMENT RIP-OFF-REPORT.COM TO GET BACK AT ME FOR SOMETHING THAT IS ACTUALLY HIS PROBLEM .... HE IS LOOKING TO RECOVER MONEY DUE TO HIS NEGLIGENCE.... WHEN BRANDON CAME TO MY SHOP HE ASKED FOR THE BIGGEST RIMS I TOLD HIM THAT WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA, SO I CALLED MERCEDES AND ASKED WHAT THEY USED ON THERE AMG PACKAGE AND JUST DUPLICATED THE EXACT SIZE OF THE RIM AND FITMENT....WHEN I REMOVED THE ORIGINAL TIRES FROM THE CAR BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW RIMS AND TIRES I NOTICED THAT ALL THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE BALD ON THE INSIDE TREAD ..... I TOLD HIM THAT WITH EVERY NEW TIRE INSTALL I SUGGEST AN ALIGNMENT...... BRANDON AGREED TO GETTING THE ALIGNMENT, SO I THEN DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT WELLINGTON AUTO TO GET A ALIGNMENT ( A LICENSED ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC)..... THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THEY COULDN'T ALIGN THE CAR DUE TO BAD INNER TIE ROD ENDS WHICH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE ALIGNMENT(WELLINGTON AUTO IS WILLING TO PUT THAT IN WRITING)......WHEN I CONTACTED BRANDON TO LET HIM KNOW, HE WAS FURIOUS AND TOLD ME THAT HIS CAR WAS PERFECT AND HAD NOTHING WRONG WITH IT....SO HE WENT TO THE ALIGNMENT SHOP AND TOOK HIS CAR BACK WITHOUT GETTING THE JOB DONE.... AFTER NOT TAKING MY ADVICE HE WENT TO 2 OTHER TIRE SHOPS FINALLY THE THIRD SHOP (APEX AUTOMOTIVE) WHICH IS THE SHOP NEXT TO MINE..... ALSO AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC, FOUND THE INNER TIE ROD ENDS WERE BAD HMMM SOUNDS FAMILIAR ..SO HE GETS THE TIE RODS FIXED AND ALL NEW TIRES FROM APEX AUTO .... I TOLD BRANDON THAT WAS THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE , BUT HE GOT IRRATE WITH ME AND WELLINGTON AUTO WHEN ALL THIS COULD OF BEEN AVOIDED IF HE JUST LISTENED TO ME.....AT ONE POINT I EVEN OFFERED TO GIVE HIM ALL NEW TIRES FOR MY COST APPROX 489.00 BEFORE HE WENT TO APEX AUTO...... HE SAID NO AND SCREAMED PROFANITIES AT ME AND HUNG UP THE PHONE...... REAL MATURE!.....HE SHOWS UP AFTER THAT APPROX 2 WEEKS LATER AND THREATENS TO SHOOT ME AND TOLD ME WATCH OUT FOR MY WIFE AND CHILDREN CAUSE IM COMING AFTER YOU!!( THERE ARE 4 WITNESSES) I THEN CALLED THE POLICE AND FILED A REPORT....(I CAN FAX OVER THE POLICE REPORT IF NEED BE)
I WOULD LIKE YOU TO PUBLISH THIS REBUTTLE BECAUSE ITS UNFAIR CLAIMS LIKE THIS ONE THAT DAMAGES HONEST BUSINESS OWNERS LIKE MYSELF....I HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 15 YRS, MRS. BRANDON ROSEN HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 15 WEEKS... I HAVE HUNDREDS OF SATISFIED CUSTOMERS THAT WILL STAND UP FOR ME AND MY COMPANY.... AS FAR AS THE BLOWN TIRE I ASKED ONE OF HIS EMPLOYEES AND HE TOLD ME HE HIT SOME ROAD DEBRIS BUT DIDN'T WANT ME TO FIND OUT..HIS FORMER EMPLOYEES COME TO MY SHOP FOR THEIR AUTOMOTIVE NEEDS AND THEY TELL ME THAT HE KNOWS HE IS WRONG BUT HE WANT TO SCAM SOME OF HIS MONEY BACK FROM ME AND THAT HE DOES THAT TO ALOT OF HIS CUSTOMERS WATCH OUT FOR THIS GUY!!!! JUST A TYPICAL IGNORANT SUE HAPPY PERSON, ..THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME....JOE DIGIACOMO

Dear Brandon

Sorry u had to find out the hard way about this fella. He is originally from Boston, A. He owned a shop out here Called SPA Racing Which I Purchased from him. Apparently He seems to take his attitude and "good Salesmanship" to Florida. After Joe had left for Florida I had customers coming in saying that they gave Joe money and never received parts. He also did this to a close friend of mine. And his response to my buddy was Tough luck. This guy is a strait up Scumbag. I would steer clear of ever going to Secret Weapon Or anything affiliated with Joe Digiacomo. He owes me somewhere in the figure of 12-17K. Anyways I hope people see this before they do Business with this fool.
