For some reason which I have never been able to figure out, auto mechanics (among other "paraprofessionals") think that they are owed something. They try and charge for doing nothing. It seems that auto mechanics are in line with auto salesmen when it comes to shady characters. Midtown Tire is no different. They send out coupons to lure in customers. Generally that is done by a business so that customers will come in and the business will grow by getting new customers, and there will also need to be additional incremental work done besides what the customer needed in the first place. Well it seems to me that many of the mechanics I have dealt with find that extra something that needs to be done. I tried to use a coupon and I had called ahead to find out how long an oil change would take. I was told about 45 minutes. When I arrived and showed them the coupon, I was told that they "wouldnt be doing anymore oil changes" that day. So I have my wife call back. Yep, sure enough they are still doing oil changes. However, if you are trying to use the coupon that they sent you, tough luck. They seem to have an issue with people actually using coupons they send out. I just dont understand why people that have not even graduated high school think that because they do something they are owed a great salary and lifestyle. But they try and achieve this by swindling, lying, luring, and cheating the consumer. Hint guys: if you want a great lifestyle and, say a salary in the decent six figures, it helps to finish high school, graduate college, and perhaps even go on to obtain a greaduate degree. Dont try and make up work that doesnt need to be done. And actually honor your advertisements.
Pros: I suppose they actually can communicate that they arent honoring their advertisements
Cons: Most everything else they do
