      My car is a one person owner July 24, 2024 - Battery was installed in my 2015 *** by ******* Tire Sales. Diagnostics were requested and not performed. Rushed installation and missed important repairs and I could have lost my life when my car died while driving on the Interstate because of the avoidable carelessness of the mechanic. Missed preventive maintenance done the year before and didn't do the diagnostics required. Did not practice July 31, 2024 - ********* was lost driving down the highway. It was a horror. I still don't know how I survived. August 2, 2024 - Took the car back for repairs at ******* Tire Sales. A fuel pump was installed without necessary diagnostics. Attempted to drive out of town but the car was shaking, idle up and down, couldn't drive it. Got an appointment at ************** on September 5. Can't afford to get repairs at ********** yet. Lots more needs to be repaired/diagnosed. Terrible fuel mileage so probably bad fuel pump, needs tune-up, spark plugs are burned and ash was found in the engine. It should have been noticed upon diagnosis with the severity of the electrical issue and shut down. I was so satisfied accepting ***** and **** at ******* tires telling me that my car was just old until I was nearly killed on the highway and spent over half of my life savings. They found none of the issues I presented to them. Not certain why they didn't address my issues in good faith. Auffenberg *** is where I will go as long as I have my car. I just need the refund requested to repair my car properly. ********** showed so much professionalism.

      The additional attached information is added to complaint ID #******** after Auffenberg *** completed the crucial repairs September 17, 2024.  ******* Tire Sales failed to diagnose or address the need for spark plugs/coils replacement or fuel induction service on July 24, 2024 or August 2, 2024.  The mechanics failed to address the issues in good faith.  The replacement of the battery and fuel pump did not complete the repairs as needed.    Whatever the reasoning the mechanics displayed such failure as  to overlook associated vital diagnosis and repairs, bad faith servicing is evident.  

      Customer response

      09/20/2024

      The attached correspondence from Kia ******** **** indicates the mechanics dealt with me in bad faith.  Again for whatever reasons, it was impossible for this to be ignored or overlooked from all the times I mentioned something was wrong with the car.  The requested amount in the complaint is all I am seeking.  This represents the cost that lead up to the dangerous incident on July 31, 2024, the omitted repairs, and unnecessary fuel pump installation without air/fuel induction service and spark plug replacement.

      Customer response

      09/26/2024

      Further proof of ******* Tire Sales intended dealing in bad faith.  Reported car dying and burning smell on 10/12/2023 and 11/01/2023.  Mechanic reported computer system evaluation and additional work needed to be done on 10/12/2023:  Camshaft position sensor and Battery replacement needed work not performed and reported not needed at this time on 10/12/2023.  Repeated work that had been performed by ***** Tire & Auto in 2021 and 2022.  Continually dismissed and never addressed the car dying and noise issues brought up by owner.  Mechanics found additional issues at additional cost never addressing the car dying issue or burning smell.

      10/12/2023: Cranshaft position sensor replaced.  Computer system evaluation reported on scan and testing of diagnosis of additional repairs at additional charge.  Drivability reported and document results.  Charge $179.92  Additional diagnosis and testing time not completed (Zero charge).

      11/1/2023:  Camshaft position sensor and Battery replacement not mentioned even after mentioning noises and dying continued.  The mechanics just made this another diagnosis of needing front brake pads and rotors.  The complete brake service had been done on 8/21/2021 by ***** Tire & Auto with rear brakes replaced and front brake hose replaced.   Front brake pad and rotors were replaced at cost of $330.58 by ******* Tire Service.  

      07/24//2024: Additional issues at ******* Tire Service recommendations at additional cost.  Trusted ******* tire and auto and took it back after 07/31/2024 incident. Car dying, engine noise and smell never addressed by ******* tire service per Carfax report.  This is concerning and an explanation is need beside the 2015 is an old car.  The car was taken care and always had required maintenance.   Had unethical experiences with ********* *** and ***** Tire and Auto.   I need to know if it is due to my age or race?

      07/31/2024:  Resulted in car completely dying - no electric, no brakes, no engine driving down Interstate Highway 55 at 65 MPH.   

      08/02/2024:  Trusted ******* Tire and Auto, allowing them to repair the 2015 ***.  The necessary repairs still had to be done.

      Being an elderly woman on cancer treatments and a fixed income, finding a trusted mechanic was most important.  I shared my concern with **** and *****.  So disappointed I was deceived.

      This customer brought the vehicle to us multiple times throughout this year. On each visit, there were reported issues that we were unable to duplicate, resulting in us being unable to provide any repairs or recommendations. Below is a list of the visits pertaining to this situation,what was requested and what services were able to be provided:

      7/24/24 Customer scheduled an oil change and a tire rotation. Customer stated concerns with the vehicle battery and a noise when turning the steering wheel. The oil change and tire rotation was completed. The battery needed to be replaced and was replaced with the customers approval.The noise in steering could not be duplicated and no repairs were made or recommended. The *** invoice provided by the customer also stated that *** could not duplicate this concern as well.
      8/1/24 Customer stated that the vehicle died on them while driving and AAA towed the vehicle to the shop. Diagnosis showed that the fuel pump had failed, which would not be related to any previous work. The fuel pump was replaced with the customers approval. There was no Check Engine Light active, no active engine codes or any engine misfire that could be detected during the diagnosis.

      In regards to the paperwork from *** stating the recommendation to replace the spark plugs and coils, we are happy to replace those items under warranty for the customer. If needed, we are also happy to pick up the vehicle for the customer to make the process more convenient. We welcome conversation with the customer to get this taken care of.

      I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because: The business response had inaccurate information that was included in the paperwork sent to them.  I had the car towed back to ******* for repairs the day the car went dead on July 31, 2024. A fuel pump was not the only issue or if it was the issue.  It appears with the inaccurate dates and statements in their response, ******* does not have ethical intentions or deal in good faith.  The towing information was included in their paperwork, it was not "AAA", it was "All Cities Recovery Agency"(ACRA).  The car was picked up on August 2, 2024 not August 1, 2024.   The issue is not the repairs on July 24, 2024, it was the repairs omitted on July 24, 2024 that led to the entire car systems shutting down while driving on July 31, 2024.    I am finished with this business.  

      Sincerely,
      ****** *****

      We appreciate and understand this customers frustration. As previously stated, we cannot correct an issue that cannot be duplicated. We also do not perform any repairs without documenting them or without the consent of the customer. We stand by our offer to replace the items identified by *** under warranty. The customer is invited to reach out to us to discuss this or we can reach out if they do not wish to initiate contact.

      Complaint: 22261419

      I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because: I had my car towed back to ******* on July 31, 2024 following the car dying while driving on the highway (it was not "AAA" that towed my car, it was **************************** and very costly) .  ******* Tire and Auto installed a Fuel Pump that appears I didn't actually need following the July 31, 2024 incident.   I got a second opinion, which indicated deception and not dealing with me in good faith.  Why would I return to a mechanic when I was nearly killed but didn't care.   ******* Tire and Auto did not bother to read the Carfax report nor the ********************* verified by the errors this business made in their response to BBB that led me to not have further contact as these mechanics and possible deceptive practices.  The *** **** was returned in a second visit to ******* for repairs on July 31, 2024.  Following pick up on August 2, I with the same issues ******* stated were vague and "just because the car was old".  This was following the repairs on July 24, 2024 (a new battery and oil change). I always ask for a complete inspection when I took the car into ******* tire and auto.  I have to make a health trip to Siteman Cancer Center each month, ******* Tire and Auto was aware of this.  It was on this visit, I again asked if I may need a new battery, as I asked ******* to always inspect my vehicle for other issues but found nothing wrong but the battery/oil change, and I believed them.  Even when the July 24, 2024 visit was shorter than the other oil-change-only visits.  this visit, I had a battery installed and a supposed inspection of the car.  Why such a short visit with multiple items to review? 

      When the car was returned to me on August 2, 2024, the same issues I had prior to the July 24, 2024 visit existed.  Car died again, had additional problems as poor gas mileage, sluggish and ******* Tire and Automotive proved their business could not repair my car.  Further, ******* Tire and Auto did not repair my car properly following the July 31, 2024 incident and further proof that negligence was involved.  I took my car to the *** dealership where it provides invoices of diagnosics and invoices of work performed with a video.  Not just what is thought to be in need of repair.  Affenberg *** found  "ashes" around melted areas on the spark plugs during the inspection visit on September 5, 2024.  Why wasn't that discovered during installation of the battery at ******* on July 24, 2024.  An Induction service had been performed by ******* Tire and Auto on October 23, 2024 so the mechanics knew what to look for instead of just "half" repairing my vehicle.  The mechanic pointed out other problems and asked if I wanted the repair completed at other visits.  Why didn't they ask questions this time?  This was a "rush job" that nearly ended my life on July 31, 2024. 

      in my opinion, ******* Tire and Auto was given two chances to repair my car properly, on July 24, 2024 and July 31, 2024 (August 2, 2024).  

      ******* Tire and Auto overlooked a crucial repair that nearly had me killed on Highway 55 but didn't seem to care.  There was no reason why needing an induction service and spark plugs was overlooked.  

      I was not able to drive my vehicle until it was repaired again by Auffenberg ***.   ******* Tire and Auto was negligent and nearly cost me my life then charged me fees for it.  I just ask that I have the double cost of repairs and the unnecessary costly amount of $2851.45 returned to me.  My fixed income is depleted because of this error in judgement or lack of repair skills. 


      Sincerely,

      ****** *****

      I went to Telle tire auto and body shop to get my car window fixed and my care was not treated with respect and the window is now overlapping.

      Business response

      09/13/2024

      On 8/16/2024 the customer brought in his 2015 *** 428I regarding a passenger rear window that would not go back up in the closed position. After performing several tests we were able to confirm that the window motor is still functioning properly but, the window regulator that allows the window to go up and down has malfunctioned and needed replacement. The customer was provided an estimate for the repair and then authorized us to move forward. We then installed the regulator, verified proper operation, and released the vehicle to the customer once completed. We have not been notified by the customer that the window is now overlapping so we can get the vehicle back in for further evaluation. We are unaware of how we disrespected the customers vehicle considering we ensured the vehicle remained in our shop for the few days it was in our possession while we were waiting for the parts to arrive to ensure the vehicle was not out in the elements. Telle Tire & Auto Centers stands behind the work we perform and the customer does have a warranty on the parts we replaced. We are happy to schedule the customer to come back in for further evaluation so we can confirm the concern he is experiencing today.

      Complaint: 22221580

      I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because: I do apologize by I will not be taking my car back to Telle Tire Auto shop to be looked at again for the second time for a job that should have been done right the first time. My car windows were not overlapping before I brought the car to you. Keeping my car safe in an auto shop is part of the agreement of excellent service is it not? And drop the car back off to be miss quoted again? I do apologize but this is not the way an auto shop should do business as I am the paying costumer. I also do not expect to pay for anymore services as I wont be back. I did mail over pictures of the overlapping windows to head quarters with a complaint letter and received no call or email about the issue? So I'm guessing If I did not contact the Better Business Bureau no one would have gotten back to me. I would like to talk about resolving the issue with full or partial refund to take this vehicle elsewhere now inconveniencing me.

      We take all customer concerns/complaints seriously and reach out to any issue promptly. We did not receive any correspondence regarding this particular situation until it was brought to our attention by the BBB. The BBB site is monitored on a daily basis so we can resolve time-sensitive matters. We would like to learn more about who the customer reached out to regarding the letter and pictures that he states were submitted before reaching out to the BBB. We do understand the customers' frustration. However, the vehicle does need to be reevaluated before any type of refund or reimbursement can be issued. The vehicle came in with a window that would not go up and when the vehicle left that problem was resolved. This situation was brought to our attention several weeks after the repairs were completed and we are doing our best to get this resolved. We understand that the customer does not want to come back to us for a 2nd visit but unfortunately the vehicle needs to be looked at again so the customers concern can be resolved. The repair we completed for the customer does come with a 3 year, ****** mile warranty and we are more then happy to get the vehicle back in for further inspection. If the customer is unable or unwilling to bring the vehicle back to us for reinspection, we recommend taking the vehicle to a reputable auto shop for further diagnosis and then providing the documentation of that diagnosis to us for further discussion.

      I took my car to Telle Auto Shop at 4101 ******* for some repairs and they were going to charge me $488.00 and I told them that I did not have that kind of money so I told them I will be back to get my car and they told me I can not get my key until I pay for the diagnostic. I did not have the money so I had to wait for my checks to come, my daughter paid for it that day and they showed her a red Charger. It was mine but they had 2 of the same car and she didn't now if that was mine but the other one was messed up on the door so I believe they used my parts for that car. They told me when I asked about the other car they said a tow truck came and picked it up and they also said that the tow told them that we sent them to pick it up but we did not. I asked them do they know of the tow truck, they said no. I went to talk to ****. He came out and went there and went back into office and never came out to me. Monday I called the police.

      This customer dropped off vehicle on 9/06/2023 to get a diagnosis on why the check engine light was on and to inspect for a suspension noise while driving. The vehicle was also running rough. We looked at this vehicle on 9/08/2023 and found that the intake manifold/gasket was leaking and causing the check engine light to turn on and causing the vehicle to run rough. We also found the right front upper control arm was loose and needing replacement, front and rear brakes were making noise due to excessive rust and front struts and rear shocks are original and were failing causing excessive noise. Total estimate for all repairs amounted to $4,383.58.

      The customer was called on the 8th and advised of findings of diagnosis and provided repair recommendations. The customer stated they would call back. Approximately a week later on 9/15/2023 the customer called back and stated that they didn't have the money to complete repairs and that they would send their daughter to pay for the diagnostic and pick up the keys as they were going to arrange for a tow truck to retrieve the vehicle. On 9/20/2023 the customers daughter paid for the diagnostic in the amount of $204.52 and we handed her the keys.She stated that a tow truck would stop by and get the vehicle. As of 9/20/2023 the diagnostic was paid for in full and the keys were no longer in our possession, but the vehicle was parked in the parking lot behind our location. About a week later a tow truck driver came into the front lobby and stated to the service advisor that he was there to tow a charger from behind our building. The tow truck driver never came back in to state the vehicle wasn't there and that was the last we heard from the tow truck driver.

      About a week after the tow truck left our property the customer pulled up in our parking lot while the general manager was outside and asked where their vehicle was. The general manager stated that a tow truck showed up the previous week and the driver stated he was there to pick up the vehicle. The customer just drove away. Not long after this encounter, the shop received a call from a detective inquiring about this vehicle. The general manager stated that it needed about 5k worth of work and that the customer paid the bill and was handed the keys. About 2 days later the daughter returned to our location and asked the general manager where the car was. The general manager told her that a tow truck was in a week prior and he assumed the tow truck driver towed the vehicle. From that point the shop received multiple calls from multiple family members regarding this vehicle. Our regional manager spoke with the owner of the vehicle and the owners son on a 3 way call regarding this issue since the store was receiving threats from various family members. The owner stated that she was going to get a lawyer because we either stole her car or used parts off her car for another dodge charger we had in for repairs. At this point,contact was terminated with the customer.

      Had my 2009 Red Dodge Charger towed to the Telle Tire on *******************, ********* ** ***** on 9/7/2023 due to vehicle stopping while driving. Service advisor called with a diagnosis of vehicle needing new starter and battery, explained to the advisor that the battery was fairly new, installed this year. Service advisor stated that he will have battery rechecked. Service advisor called and stated that the battery, alternator was in shape and that the vehicle just needed a new starter. Service advisor called on 9/15/2023 stating that the vehicle was ready for pick up. My husband and I came to pick up the vehicle, my husband drove off in the Charger and I drove off in the other family vehicle. My husband could barely get the vehicle home before it stopped several time while coming to a stop. He made it home and when I arrived back home he told me what happened and we called Telle Tire to let them know that the vehicle was still stopping, they offered to tow the vehicle back free of charge. Since the shop is closed on the weekend we called them on the following Monday 9/18/2023 for them to send the tow truck. The service advisor called to confirm they received the vehicle and that they would check it to see why it was still stopping. We got a call from the service advisor on 9/21/2023 stating that we have a major oil leak, which was not happening at all before the vehicle was dropped off to Telle Tire. Now that is going to be another charge on top of what we already paid for regarding the original diagnosis and work done. They offered to send the vehicle to a different Telle Tire location but we decline due to lack of trust at this point. We suspect that the damage resulting in this major oil leak was the result of negligence on their part.

      1/11/23 Took a car with a brake pedal hitting the floor and a check engine light to **************** Repair on Main in ***********, ** Spoke with **** a service Tech manager that he suspects it to be a ABS brake modulator Received a Telle Tire Multi Point inspection on a 2006 Scion TC claiming it was calipers / rotors / hoses. No mention of ABS modulator and no estimate pricing. Verbally ****** quote.Approved the suggested repair. Received a call 1/12/23 saying the suggested repair was complete however an additional $2000.00 is needed for an ABS / brake system modulator. Told it was unsafe to drive. ****** search and 3 other calls to local mechanics claimed they did unnecessary work from the beginning and claimed a diagnostic code from an engine light would have provided a code of repair. Telle Tire mgr claims they do not use diagnostic codes.Spoke to office manager on Main about how we were not presented properly with a correct and common diagnosis of the vehicle and would have turned down the repair of $3000.00 on a car with a value of $3000.00.She was condescending, unwilling to listen, and claimed that ABS is a common issue, yet the issue was not addressed or presented in writing entirely from the beginning assessment, and claimed she was sick the day our car was in for repair. And the Service Technician Manager **** is not responsible to make recommendations. We would have turned down the repair if properly addressed. We were met by the office manager with aggression, unwillingness to listen to a customer, talking over, and condescending remarks about how bringing a car in for assessment is like going into a doctor. She claimed it is a common issue with Scion/Toyota, However this common issue was not presented. I asked to speak with ****, claimed no employee by that name, then said he is there but not his job function as a svc tech mgr. Theres $1300.00 bill for an assessment that was incorrectly presented resulting in unnecessary and incomplete repairs.

      In March and April of 2021 I paid a total of ***** for repairs to be made on my 04 ***** accord which are all to be covered by a 3 year or ****** mile warranty.While repair were being made on multiple times there were issues with them over charging my debit card,they failed to replace things we asked to be repaired while they decided to repair other parts before we had even agreed for the repairs.The biggest problem with this is how dangerous these "repairs" turned out to be for my family and our car. As of yesterday, July 18 2022 as I was driving the vehicle down the road all of a sudden the entire front of my car was on the pavement. My tire was sideways which ruined the rim,flattened the tire and completely left my car not drivable in the middle of an intersection.After looking over as to what had caused this it was to be that the lower ball joint that was replaced had not been replaced properly or even at all as I paid for, like the receipt invoice shows repairs for and so it had completely went out. Literally. Snapped.Not only was this the most dangerous situation due to the fact my children we also in the car when this happened but it was complete neglect as far as what the were paid to fix on my car. This is something that being so careless could cause car wrecks, and or somebody's life.Now I'm left needing massive repairs for something I already paid to be fixed, but I'm absolutely terrified to have them repair anything else on any of my vehicle.

      After receiving this complaint, we immediately reached out to the customer to learn more about the situation, and to see what we can do to help resolve the issue she is having. The customer was advised, and already aware, that Telle Tire & Auto Centers did not perform these repairs, and that these repairs were completed under the previous ownership known as ********. Telle Tire & Auto Centers did not take ownership until 4/09/2021. 



      It has been 16 months since the customer had those repairs completed, and the vehicle is currently parked in the customers driveway. This vehicle has not been diagnosed by us or any reputable repair shop to confirm the extent of the damage that occurred while the customer was driving on 7/18/2022. 



      The customer has been advised that we will not offer a refund but are happy to look over the vehicle to see what broke and what it will take to get everything repaired. It was explained to the customer that we would look over the vehicle at no charge and that we would just need to get the vehicle towed to our shop in order to diagnose the concern accurately since it has been 16 months since repairs were completed. The customer stated that she did not feel comfortable taking the vehicle to our shop, as she has not had a good experience.  It was explained again to the customer that her experience was with ******** and not Telle Tire & Auto Centers. The customer then stated that she didn't have the money to tow the vehicle, and that if we could just provide some parts for the axles (not sure what she was talking about) that they would fix the vehicle themselves. I explained to the customer the importance of properly diagnosing the vehicle and not guessing as to what it will take to repair the vehicle. 



      The customer declined to bring the vehicle back and stated she would call me back if she changes her mind.

      On April 17, 2022, my driver's side front tire went flat on my 2019 ***** S60. I made an appointment at Telle for the 20th to have the flat repaired and have all four of my car's tires rotated and balanced. That morning, I received a call from a Telle employee who told me that the tire was going flat not because of a nail / glass / foreign object, but because it had worn to the point that air was leaking through the steel belts. As such, it was not repairable. He also told me based on the tread depth of my other tires, I needed an all new set. He quoted me $1300 for the new set which I declined. When I arrived to pick up my car, I was shocked that they sent me home with the flat tire still on my car when I had the spare ready to go in the trunk and still charged me $39.95 for the totally unnecessary rotation and balance on the other three tires, all of which were replaced the next day.

      I put my 2021 Nissan Armada with 9000 miles in for a new front right tire. I picked up the vehicle, and drove home, only to notice a crack in the bottom driver's side of the windshield. I immediately called Telle, from the car, who asked me to bring it in. I asked if they would handle the repair, and the associate said "Of course, if we did it, we're not going to just leave you hanging". I took the car in today, the manager was expecting me, and immediately said "we won't take responsibility for that" and said there were no flying lug nuts or wrenches that could have cracked the windshield. Bottom line: it was fine before it went in, and now it's cracked. It could not have happened elsewhere.

      Customer brought their 2021 Nissan Armada with 9000 miles on it stating that the right front tire blew out as a result of sustaining an impact that damaged the tire beyond repair. The customer called after picking up the vehicle stating the windshield was cracked. We asked the customer to stop by and let us see the windshield and did not state over the phone we would replace the windshield.  A few days later the customer stopped by for us to review the concern.  The crack in the windshield is on the left side and there is a rough abbreviation in the windshield where the crack is clearly showing that something hit the windshield. As a business that has been serving the Richmond Heights community for 80 years, we go above and beyond many times over to give our customers the benefits of the doubt when there are issues or concerns that arise as we are squarely focused on creating a great customer experience.  For this situation it is clear we are not responsible and did not cause this windshield crack.
