Walmart "Road Hazard" Rip Off Misleading customers about what road hazard covers.... Paris Texas

This information does no one any good, when they are talking to the clueless employees. 

Nor does it reinburse the thousands that are duped with this questionable bussiness practice.

Yes, Walmart will rip you off with this. I was in the Fort Payne Alabama store a few days ago to get tires replaced, under their warranty and When i got my bill they had added on a $20.00 charge, i asked the Manager what the charge was, he said it was a Roadside Hazard Warranty. I asked why i was being charged this, he just stammered and then said "Well if you don't want it, i guess i can take it off".. i told hin i never asked for it, was not told aboiut it, that it just "showed up" on my bill and to take it off.. It's bad enough Walmart bent the rim on one of my tires and knocked the car out of alignment and lied about it. Then they go and put a brand new tire on a bent rim, which i bought a new rim to replace the bent one, yet they still put the tire on my old bent rim, threw away my new rim, ruined a brand new set of tires, then want to charge me for their Rip Off Roadside Hazard Crap!!? BEWARE Walmart will add this charge onto you bill without asking you if you want it. it costs $10.00 per tire.. 

Road Hazard protects your tires against just that; a road hazard. This should give you free flat repairs and lifetime balancing and rotation at any WalMart. In most cases of a large national chain this is a good deal. I don't purchase tires at WalMart, but I do get Road Hazard warranties whne I buy because if you get one unrepairable flat it usually pays for itself.

The mileage warranty (treadlife) is completely different. This is actually a prorated manufacturer warranty, not a WalMart warranty. A word of advice on this, make sure you keep reciepts of your balance and rotations and alignments, and make sure they are done when they need to be as well as having the tire pressures checked and corrected. These are the biggest contributors to tire wear in the industry. The treadwear warranty does not protect against neglect, so keep your reciepts! The disposal fee is a state law in most states, they have to charge for that in most cases unless you specifically request the tires back.

Joe, it sounds like you found alot of suprises on your bill after you paid it. The problem is that you agreed to a service without knowing what the service entailed, what the break down was for pricing or maybe even what the final pricing was. Ultimately, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to know what you are paying for. If the employees you are working with are unknowlegable about their product then find someone who is, and if you can't find someone who is, you can choose to pass on it altogether. You signed on the dotted line without knowing what you were getting or what you were being charged for. That is not their fault!
