Jeff Pohlman Tire & Jeff Pohlman Jeff Pohlman Tire of Oxford, OH & Owner Use Deceptive Practices & Lack Proper Customer Skills- AVOID!! Oxford Ohio

My complaint is about Jeff Pohlman tire located at 304 W Spring St. Oxford, OH 45056. On December 22, 2007 my wife and I took our work vehicle a 93 Honda Accord into Jeff Pohlman for a radiator flush and fill.

They say they honor their competitor's coupons, but this is not entirely true, in a clear reasonable and logical sense.

To make a long story short, when we came in to pick up our vehicle that late afternoon we presented them with a Midas coupon 50% off a radiator flush and fill (Midas, a well known established, professional and reasonable auto service center nationwide) the manager took OFF 50% OF THE COMPETITORS PRICE (MIDAS) WHICH WAS $44.99 MINUS 50% WHICH IS $22.00 FOR THEIR FLUSH AND FILL. THEN TOOK THE $22.00 AND MINUSED IT FROM JEFF POHLMANS FULL PRICE FOR A FLUSH AND FILL WHICH IS $79.99 AND BROUGHT IT DOWN TO $57.99 BEFORE TAX. Now, where are the logic, reasonableness, and understanding in this reasoning??? Very puzzling, indeed! We tried to explain to the manager that when we brought our work truck in last year (2006) we then at that time presented the same competitors coupon for 50% off a flush and fill and Jeff Pohlman did the proper, sane, logical & reasonable procedure of taking 50% off of Jeff Pohlmans total for a radiator flush and fill.

We were not making any progress explaining this to him while keeping our composure and using no profanity or being belligerent. After a period of trying to reason with him, he calls the police. Keep in mind no threats with weapons, words or the like were exchanged by us. The police came and spoke with both of us. Since it is a civil matter, he suggested speaking to the owner. In the mean time, I did not have use of my vehicle because Jeff Pohlman tire impound it until I resolved the matter with the owner. I called the owner the very next morning (Dec 23, 06) to discuss the matter. Again to make a long story short, he had already made up his mind without even speaking to the #1 person in his business, the customer, not an employee of 1 day or 30 years. He said he sides with the manager and would not apologize for his action etc. He said they take pride in having letters of appreciation for his service and his manager, but did not mention the unsatisfied ones.
As a business man, that he portrays, I was shocked, appalled, discussed and disturbed with how I was treated by him over the phone. The lack of understanding, reasonableness, caring & appreciation not to mention his lack of concern and poor attitude toward for his #1 asset to his business, the customer, whether that customer be a one timer or a City of Oxford contract. Although he painstakingly gave us the 50% off his price (which that is how it should have been in the first place) he said he did not know what the fuss was all about over a small amount. I am sure he directed that to me, the consumer. If not, his manager(s) would know and would be trained how to handle these matters when they arise. I have been a business owner for over 17 years, and this insubordinate, disrespectful conduct, by both the manager and owner, would never be tolerated by me or any of my contractors or subcontractors, our standards are much higher.

After this disgraceful folly, I do not advocate Jeff Pohlman tire and make it known to the Better Business Bureau and others. We do not need a company like this in Oxford, OH or any where else for that matter. If others choose to use this business, beware! Leave your logic, good sense, reasonableness & and human rights at the door when you enter the doors!
