Tire repair
On 11/03/2023 I went to Firestone for a tire repair. My wife left had a slow leak in the left front tire. I could here air coming out in the middle of the tire they put a plug in the tire and showed it to me. Then after 10 minutes I was told the tire needed tdo be replaced. The tires have 18.000 miles on them. I wanted the old tire to contact Firestone to see if there was a warranty since the tires only had low miles. Roy refused to give me the tire. I called tfhe next day and asked him if I could come down to pick up the tire. He said the tire was not there and that it was disposed. He then offered me 10.00 dollars back. I knew then something was wrong very very shady. I feel I was taken advantage of. I called my Credit Card company to dispute the charge. I hope we can resolve this the right way. Carmine Santopolo.
Montgomery, IL store
I made an online appointment to today 11/04/23 to get an wheel alignment at appx 2pm for the appointment to be at 5pm. As I am on my way there at 4pm to the appointment, I get a call from firestone (Ruben) telling me that he doesn't have anyone there to do a wheel alignment. He then went on t the reservation and confirmed my request. When I called him to asked why he confirmed it after he told me he didn't have a mechanic to perform the job, he informs me that he couldn't cancel it in his system. It looks as if I cancelled the appointment. Again another way to make the the numbers favor the store which is not the case. I think this is the poorest excuse ever. You want me to believe that you only have limited mechanics to do limited repairs? All of the mechanics are trained to do wheel alignments. I have spent thousands on top of thousands at firestone. this really has me looking at moving my business to another repair shop all together.
Claimed loss: respect and loyalty
Desired outcome: Investigate the Ruben who called and fire him. Or have my request granted as soon as possible at a substantial rebated cost or free.
Inadequate/unsafe service
This past Saturday my van lost fluid for my power steering. I made an appointment and turned my van over to the Firestone 2522 S Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80916 on Sunday 10/29/2023. They then didn't examine my van until late Monday and determined that it was a failed hose line for the power steering pump. They ordered a new one Tuesday morning and...

Wheel alignment
My SUV came in to get a wheel alignment. After getting new tires. Vehicle drove fine. During the wheel alignment technician was seen adjusting the suspension height, from the tortion bars adjuster.

Read full complaintCar tampering
Scheduled an oil change and 4 tire replacement. Tires were scuffed and dirty. The rim lubricant was sloppy and all over the tire rims. But the main complaint is that they turned off my back lights for some reason. I'm driving my car for a week and get stopped by police stating I had no back lights, only when I brake. There is absolutely NO reason to mess with my car light dial to change 4 tires and an oil change!

Read full complaintOil change - either miscommunication or intentional deception
On Thursday October 5, 2023, I contacted several Firestone shops to see what the best price was for an oil change. I was quite surprised and amazed when the shop at - 1387 S STATE ROAD 7, NORTH LAUDERDALE, FL., said that I would get 50% off if I used my Firestone card. I said, wow or something similar, confirmed the price ($65) and was told that they had a...

Read full complaintInspection
Today my son took my vehicle to the Firestone location in Lombard Illinois. I needed to see if my bearings needed to be replaced. The person working there said they were done after putting my car up and pulling/shaking the tire. Seems a little rudamentary tear to tell me the wheel bearings were “fine”. He then told my son I needed new tires. The tires are 3 years old and purchased from that location. I asked my son to ask how many miles I have on those tires as the mileage is recorded when the tires are put on. The person told him that would take too long to do. My son left. I then read the list of recommendations and it said wheel bearings are recommend. I am disappointed with this service and the lack of care taken.
Desired outcome: Follow up call and doscuasion with store. [protected]
Damaged engine during fuel injection and intake manifold service
Did you know that Firestone shops can severely damage your vehicle and not pay for it? I was a Firestone customer for about 10 yrs and a credit card holder. I have been pursuing a court case against Firestone/Bridgestone since August 2022 after their mechanic admitted to damaging my engine. Both parties acknowledged "debris" had fallen in my engine area...
Read full complaintMan behind the counter. Very rude…
Store number 008575 Midwest city OK
Hello I would like to know what has happened to Firestone? It used to be my favorite place to get things done to my truck. I was there yesterday to get a tire changed yesterday. The guys behind the counter ( older man) was so rude and told me he didn’t show I had an appointment. The time before that I went to get an oil change and the same old man I think his name was David was very rude then so bad he ran me off. So I will not return to Firestone. Please do something about this. You will loose more customers.

Extremely poor customer service!
Saturday 9/23/23, I woke up to a flat tire on my car. There was a nail in the tire. I was able to pump it up so I could get it to Firestone. Mind you, I purchased the road hazard warranty when I bought the tires. I went to not 1 but 2 Firestone Autocare stores and was told that I needed to make an appointment. Really! I thought the reason for purchasing...

I knew when Roy said the tire was disposed that something was wrong. Then he said I will give you 10.00 dollars back. I know there was nothing wrong with the tire they put the plug in. The Mgr Roy is a very shady person. A firestone Rep should look into this. Carmine Santopolo.
