Sexist, Incompetent Mechanics
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
I purchased new tires at Mr. Tire one month ago. The tires were not balanced correctly, so I brought the car back in. They assured me that the tires were balanced and that I'd have no more problems. However, when I got on the freeway I discovered that the tires were still not balanced. Today, I brought the car back in for a third time. Hopefully it is right this time.
In addition to their mechanical incapability, the employees were rude and sexist every time I went in there. The first time I was there, the guy told me I did a "good job" pulling the car into the parking lot. The second time I was there, the guy said that if backing the car out was "too tough" for me he can do it. I was willing to let these two comments go, as their sexist tone was apparent, but subtle. However, the third time I was there (today), I looked at my receipt and saw that they listed my address as "Princess" Street. My actual street name does not sound at all like "Princess," so it is in no way a mistake.
I called the corporate headquarters and they said they'd look into it, but I am still unsatisfied. Perhaps if these mechanics put more energy into their job and less energy into harassing their female clients, they'd be able to retain their client base. I will never go there again!
