The difference...

AUTHOR: Ronny g - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, February 21, 2011

Bill D..here is the difference as I see it and this is simply my opinion.

I do get pissed off sometimes the way you respond to others..you call people idiots because you do not like what they have to report..

But...at the same time..you do not come to this site claiming to be a super hero..you know like the rest of us "real" people..we are not infallible...we f*k up.

The difference between you calling someone who posts here an idiot, and some jackass like Steve is you will actually base your response/replies off ACTUAL first hand EXPERIENCE..where as some p***y a*s phony coward like Steve...has no actual experience in anything but trying to scrape and scrounge for ways to defend himself....sad really but a reality of a site like this where any p***y a*s bunghole can who can type is allowed to respond. Laugh it off.

In other words the only qualification required to reply, rebut, moderate or otherwise respond on this lame a*s scam web site..is fingers. Yes..I say this again..all that is required to reply on this web site..is fingers.

Interesting thing............

AUTHOR: Adolph - (USA)

POSTED: Sunday, February 20, 2011

    ........about wheel alignment: If one takes a vehicle to 10 different 'alignment' shops in succession, they will all declare “the car needs / needed alignment”. A shop will never declare “Mr. XXXX, your car was in perfect alignment, you only owe for the the labor of  diagnosis.”  I have a somewhat exotic sports car with independent rear suspension and all wheel drive  that requires a somewhat costly 4 wheel alignment.  After one instance of having it aligned and being given a “computer print-out” of before and after, (the after showing correct specs.) $80.50 plus 'shop supplies' of $4.00. I left the shop.
 .
This was a very large multi-bay establishment. I returned the next morning because of an uncorrected handling issue.  The former shop foreman was out that day and I was erroneously treated as a new customer. (Which to confirm my suspicions I didn’t correct)  . After a brief ‘diagnosis’ I was told “Mr. XXXX your car is in dire need of a four wheel alignment”. Huh?
18 hours after the SAME shop had allegedly performed such an operation? Another $80.50 plus ‘shop supplies’? 
.
This situation might have been influenced by the misconception that “any one with that kind of car has a lot of extra pocket change”.  In my case an erroneous assumption.  I certainly don’t have funds available to supplement  the bottom line of a fraudulent business.

.
Dealer / service department: Ethics? Failure!....Honesty? Failure! ....Surprise?.. not in the least.

The "bottom line" for "Bill D", aka; "me43".

AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, February 20, 2011

Ok, here is the bottom line for "Bill D" aka: "me43". If you communicate as an idiot, people will treat you as an idiot.
Literacy = credibility. In the real world.You say that you type as you do to "be yourself". That means that you know you are an idiot, and communicate accordingly.

The only reasons that you type as you do are stupidity and laziness.And, it's not just your "typing". Your spelling and word use are horrible as well.You are the textbook definition of an idiot.This is the reason you work at Tire Kingdom.It all makes sense.

No intelligent person would ever communicate as you do.No person who communicates as you do will ever be successful.
You will never get promoted.You will never be anything except a loser tire changer at Tire Kingdom.That is how it works in the real world.

So get some meds for your ADHD or whatever disorder you have, and communicate like an intelligent member of society.

Stop being an idiot.

You state that the first day the mechanic recommended the car go to a body shop due to a "bend" frame- then why didn't you take it for the proper repair instead of requesting/approving Tire Kingdom to replace the struts???

Bill D... you need to realize..

POSTED: Saturday, February 19, 2011

..that TROLLS such as Robert and Steve DO NOT CARE about the poster of a complaint, this website which they litter,. the company(s) that a complaint is lodged against, or anyone who replies.

All they care about is knocking others (even if it has to come down to petty insults regarding grammar/typos, writing style or punctuation which really have nothing to do with content or context). It gives them a FALSE sense of self worth because as we all know and is so EVIDENTLY and CLEARLY apparent to ANYONE of sound mind and reason, they have absolutely NO self worth whatsoever, or worth to anyone else for that matter.

They are living proof that ignorance is bliss. Most of these internet bullies were either picked on when they were younger, or were raised in an abusive environment, or may as well been bullies themselves when they were younger and now this is all they have...essentially cowards behind a keyboard...pussies who know how to type...nothing more. Laugh it off. To wit..no one really cares anyhow so don't let them get to you over your writing style. Granted it is unorthodox, but I understand every sentence. I also feel for you having to deal with assholes. I do not judge a man by his bank account or job..but by his character. It is quite evident who has that and who are the frauds here, or.. perhaps they are just plain sadistic and the insulting and belittling of others give them some kind of sick disturbing sexual gratification?.

This Bill D character, aka: the illiterate third grader, is busting someone else on his "typing skills"!!

Are you kidding me?

There is a reason you [ Bill D ] work at Tire Kingdom. Think about it.

It appears that you are jcked up on some kind of drugs and cannot concentrate, or you need to be jacked up on some drugs. Either way, you are an idiot.

the tire expert?

AUTHOR: Robert - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, February 18, 2011
anyway----as usual i always test drive the car for alignments---the car went perfectly straight--this car also only had 15k--it was a very new 08-10?------so i did not want to touch this guys car

You should KNOW that if a vehicle drives "straight" this is NOT an indication that the wheel alignment is correct.  It is possible for toe and camber to be off even though the vehicle drives straight.  I'm surprised that you didn't mention checking the tire tread (with a guage) across the tire tread.  Tire wear patterns are usually the FIRST indicators that something is amiss with the whell alignment.

It's no wonder that you work there.  Also, with your writing style you shouldn't criticize others and you probably should refraim from demonstrating your prejudices.  You, as an employee, are providing an excellent reason for consumers to STAY AWAY from this tire chain.

at my store--we had a lexus is250 there for 2 tires a month ago--he came a month later for the alignment----now first off it was a young body builder type who also brought his body builder type friend with him---his girlfriend had her lexus there not long before--in any case--i just somehow can spot duschbags--but not all times----in any case--this guy comes in for an alignment a month after we put the tires on---the service manger there just took it in--doesn't ask questions why---if someone just comes in for something--you better ask why??---most of the time in sales you have to sell this work---it doesn't just come on a silver plater-----anyway----as usual i always test drive the car for alignments---the car went perfectly straight--this car also only had 15k--it was a very new 08-10?------so i did not want to touch this guys car--i ask the guy--what is going on here--he says the car PULLS right---i said i just drove it and it went straight to me--then he tells me that when he is in the right lane on the highway doing 60(which is under speed limit-what a jerkoff) and he takes his hand off the wheel and the car pulls right--what an idiot huh???---so i asked him why would you take your hands off the wheel when your drivin anyway??--he had no response---in any case---i knew no matter what after talking to this jerk off that he would not be happy--there was absolutly nothing i could do---this is normal for a car--he was going to keep taking his hand off the wheel and expect the car to go straight no matter what road!!!!!!---no--the service manger said to just do it---so i did-------------one of the tire techs rotated the tires when i finished the alignment(the service manger wanted it done to be sure we would resolve the customers concern-although there was none present)------in any case---when all is said and done---knowing there would be a problem after ward guess what????-what man??--there was a mother f'n problem after that--how i predict these things?????-----so he comes back 15 minutes later and says his car is still pulling right and now he is bitchin about a dirt spot on his headliner----ummm---i never touch the headliner ever----in any case i did not dirty that f'n headliner-----the point--all in all----they had to pay for a new headliner cause a  dirt spot was present and somehow could not come out---all this could of been avoided if the manager listened to me and said just leave this sale alone--it is not worth it in the end!!!!!---come on---a lexus driver---your easy to spot

you leave out much detail and you make it hard to understand as to what happened here--your typing does not help your cause either---in any case it sounds to me like you went there to get a qoute on struts and he sold them to you at your request-----if you paid for the 4 struts in full how can he charge you more----he may have added more to the bill which you obviously paid--you must have seen these additional items on the bill before you paid it?---let us say you just paid it in full-how can he charge more and just hold your car??-doesn't make sense-----you talk about a 1 year alignment deal and think your toyota camry is under warranty and you "never pay for such service"--umm-alignments are wear and tear and not covered by warranty---let alone if you had an accident which appears in this case---you also mention they billed you 41 hours of labor----if you mention the bill was 1600$ then how did they charge you 41 hours of labor??---it is more like 4.1 hours of labor---but they do make it without the decimal on the word order and invoice--i will disclose i work here but not at this store-------also you went to this store to get a qoute on 4 struts-why??--it would not surprise me if these problems were there given you are talking about an accident car-----in any case--my final point---you mention you are driving a 08 lexus es350---this should be a red flag cause anyone who drives a lexus there is something wrong with them--they drive especially slow on the highways but that is a whole other story--just no courtesy for others----in any case--i cannot expect much from a lexus driver---if i were floyd and have seen you coming i would have sent you on your way----this seems kind of like a set up to me and floyd being a greedy salesman just took the bait---now you are going to complain about something-----there is just some people you should not do business with--i think you are one of these people---plus i can tell in your typing you seem to be blowing things way out of proportion---but if also what you say is true about mechanics told floyd don't play with this-he is equally as stupid as you and being a dumb salesman
