ABC WHEEL AND TIRE La Crescenta California FRAUD RIPOFF

Purchasing rims and tires in todays world can be tricky. Don't be fooled by a company's extremely low prices and discounts.



I myself planned on ordering a wheel and tire package from a different company advertised in Lowrider magazine. There are approximately 20 different companies in the magazine I can order from and every companies prices vary. For instance, a set of 4 Ferretti portofino rims and tires with one company cost $3,000, where another company advertised only charged $1,200 including shipping and handling, mounting and balancing, and a set of lugs. THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU WON'T GET RIPPED OFF!



If people are ordering from out of state, BEWARE! For locals, it's easier to just walk into their establishment and demand there money back, but for people far away, it's not so easy.



Anybody can hang up a phone and ignore a customer, but if the customer is standing in their building and throwing a tantrum, that's more of an obstacle. This is why most tire companies can rip a long distance customer off and get away with it from. NOT ME!!



I attempted to purchase the wheel and tire package above. Calling up EVERY company in the magazine and getting a price was exhausting but somewhat of a relief.



After speaking with one salesman he brightened my day up dramatically. He said,"My prices might be high, but you can be sure you'll get your tires."



I didn't understand that....He then explained that many companies may give a low price but then change it later on. They may even call you up and tell you that the merchandise you ordered is out of stock and you should order another item. This is because they already have your money and aren't gonna sell you your original order for that minimum of a price. They'll either convince you to buy something else(which costs more money) or do a cancellation which ends up being more anyway because they charge a 30% cancellation fee and a 20% restocking fee so you end up losing half your money automatically. HERES WHAT YOU DO!



Before placing an order from out of state, ask the company to give you a fax or email quote stating that they have the item in stock. Make sure they put down exactly what you ordered and the price they charge with everything included( shipping & handling, mounting,balancing, and price for wheel and tire package and how long it will take for delivery)Finally, make sure they put down the managers name and the salesman's name(jerk you talked to) so you won't have any problems contacting them in the future if a problem occurs. After receiving the quote and verifying the information is correct, call them back and finish your order. I guarantee you won't have a problem receiving your order. If by any chance you do? YOU'VE GOT A HECK OF A GOOD CASE AGAINST THEM!!!
