Tires Plus Total Car Care ripoff scheme, misaligned wheels Maple Grove Minnesota

Bill's story hasn't changed 5 times, and included things like the parts are fine, so I had them replaced.

It also doesn't include whacky tales of running people over, and basing a lawsuit on ZERO damages.

One last thing. Alignments NEVER go out of spec. The parts that the alignment is based on do. If nothing wears out, or is damaged in any way, the factory alignment will be perfect forever. Alignments only go out of spec because parts do wear out. These include steering linkages, suspension pieces, and the frame itself. Repair whatever caused the alignment to be out, and then adjust the settings for the new part(s).

Checking an alignment is worthless, and is meant to take money from the customer. All that is needed is look at the tires themselves, check for play in the linkages, look for frame damage, and measure ride height. If these all check out fine, you need nothing done. Glenn would go ahead and replace everything though, simply because the parts ARE good.

Checking all of this can be done on any 2 post lift, or a floor jack. It also doesn't make $60-$90 for the tire shop.

Check out my story in savage mn. Tiresplus We are takin them to court your story is almost the same. Any comments against you are watchdogs and are meant to pis you off.

Many of the tires plus stores do not staff properly trained technicians majority of there alignment techs or installers as there called have one day of alignment training that is more of a sales pitch than anything. They do not offer any real from of training to there techs all the class they offer are usually held by the parts warehouses and are mainly sale pitches.

Tires should be rotated every 6,000 miles. Alignment should be checked and performed if needed every 6 months. If this guy would have just performed normal maintenance on his vehicle the same tire would not have been in the same position for 3 years, and if he had had his alignment checked every 6 months, any misalignment would have been discovered early. This claim is far fetched and this consumer has lacked any common sense on normal vehicle maintenence and created his own problem. Just like any product made today, it will not last if you do not maintain it.

Todays society why is it so hard for people to assume liability for their own actions or lack of maintance.I have an idea, Lets all go to court and try to get rich ....... oh wait we do that now.

The industry suggests we have our alignment "checked" every 6 months or 6,ooo miles.I guess "YOUR" car is different. I guess "YOUR" car is special. Do you change your oil and figure the car doesn't require anything else. Does that clean oil give you a warm fuzzy feeling? Lets step back and start at the begining.Open and rear your owners manual.Look in your glove box you can't miss it

Just a quick comment, from someone that knows about alignments! First of all, WHAT angles were out of spec? And, also, What type of a car do you drive? Most of the front wheel drive cars built in the last 10 years do not have caster and camber adjustments provided by the manufacturer. Also, some angles, specifically the CASTER, will NOT and CANNOT cause tire wear, in any case! If the angles were not adjustable, it is very possible that, 3 years later down the road, they may be farther out then they were when the alignment was originally done. Things that can make these angles change, are weak springs, slightly worn suspension components, etc. I strongly suggest that you check your facts, before slandering a company, and saying that there is a "ripoff scheme". Perhaps your own lack of general knowledge in this field might be the actual problem..?

Also, your alignment should be checked just a little more often than every 3 years....
