i had gotten two flat tires due to the road work off rt 24 north and my hitting a huge pot hole that they have fixed the day after due to my almost ending up in what could have been a serious accident i had just moved to the neighborhood so i thought why not go to their shop to get a tow and new tires so he tows my car/van and i ask HOW MUCH he says dont worrie about it i then repeated again how much cause nothing is free he says we are neighbors dont worrie about it so he tows my van back to the gas station this is at 9a.m it took him till 8p.m to have tires on my van
i then woke up in the a.m drop off my two toddlers off at daycare and go to work i look at the tires and my car is on the ground GREAT another day missed of work not only for myself but their father so their goes about 200.00 gone i leave it there for a few hrs check in and the tires are on i look one tire is the wrong size i then say just take your tires you said you had the rite size myself and my boyfriend jst missed work because of this he then tells me one of the "brothers" who own the buisness well the tow was 150.00 so i gave you a deal on the tires i told him if i knew the tow would be 150.00 i would have went somewhere else
he says you cant get a tow for less so i called a tow company in taunton in front of him and asked how much it would be for a tow from where the cas was the day before to my house which is rite near the gas station "planet pateroleum" they say 55 he just smirked at me and rubs my shoulder and says ill find some other way to take care of you WTF can you say sexual harrasment!! to top it off my boyfriend gave him 200.00 the day of the incident with no reciept SO THERE GOES THAT!! so when i asked for my money back becides the tow and he could take the tires back he says well the tow is 150.00 so now im missing another day of work to get my vehicle fixed by a real mechanic. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! wish i had looked them up in the first place lesson learned!!!

it was two tires wrong size and several plugs not four and two days of work missed and the men at sonoco only took once to put the tires on the rim maybe they should go get some lessons or go back to mechanics classes/school aswell my boyfriend went with him to help with the tow and like i said it was from hitting a huge pot hole getting onto the highway off exit 13B going NORTH and i pulled rite over than a state trooper helped me get to the breakdown lane which then left my van next to the 13B on ramp and the very next day that part of the highway was fixed as the state trooper said a simular situation had happend the day before like i said scam artist and obviously dont care about childrens safety because if they did when i went baxk there myself should he not have told me hey one of the tires i put on is going to fall apart so watch out no he says he did me a favor please keep you favors to your self u scum bag again thanks to the men at sonoco who made me feel safe in my car as i had to drive a whole week feeling unsafe thanks to these scam artist four tires WHAT A LAUGH four tires for 200 and a tow now if anyone on here dont see that thats b.s is crazy it was two tires wrong size with several plugs torn inside you seen a young couple and took advantage and what does not haveing much money have anything to do with any of this they took advantage plane and simple obviously i hade enough money to pay 200 for a tow that should have been 65 at the most pluse it to be fixed correctly by sonoco im glad they work good for you though

K&M is not a rip off and does care about children's safety

I'm very sorry this woman feels this way BUT I was there getting work done on my car when this woman's gold van was brought in. They were very busy like always and when the gentleman that took off the first tire got the actual rubber off the rim the rim was very bubbled around the crease where the tire should seal to the rim. I specifically heard one the workers tell the young kid I'm assuming the boyfriend that was with the van the there is a problem with Chrysler rims. They have some sort of clear coat on the rim that bubbles after many years and causes the rims and tire to not seal properly allowing air to leak out slowly. The owner told the young man that the rims were no good and would help a little better if he wanted new tires instead of used and he insisted there was no need for new tires. Then the owner told him again there was a defect in the Chrysler rims and showed him and took a pic so the kid could show the woman owner. The k&m worker took the tires off and put back on 9 or 10 times just while I was there the first day. The second day they can back with the tires all bubbled and no good also with a nail in it Which I observed while I was picking up my car. I am 33 yrs old and have been bringin my cars and trucks to k&m for 15 yrs. I have never had a problem and they have always made sure my car was fixed correctly.
Sometimes I guess people don't understand that things cost money and if you don't "have the money" to fix them correctly maybe you should look at yourself instead of the mechanic. Also I have never heard of a tow company charging any less than 100 for towning thru 2 or 3 different towns. From 24 to almost the Dighton line. Idk but seems to me like someone is a little mad that they're boyfriend is the one who screwed up and he just doesn't want to take responsibility for it. A tow and not 2 but 4 tires due to her driving around while they we're low. All for under 200. Doesn't sound like a rip off to me.
