Les Schwab Tire Center review: tire repair ( 1 comment)

I have been disappointed by Les Schwab service before, but they did not do anything to harm my car. On 11/11/2010 I took my car in for a tire repair due to a nail puncture. Typically I do that repair at home, but this time the repair require a patch from the inside of the tire. I called about 30 minutes prior to bringing my car in and confirmed that the price for the repair is $13.75 (too good right?). Drop the car off then waited in their waiting room, which is a bad idea. I usually stand around to keep an eye or 2 on all service guys to make sure they don't pull anything shady, but I let my guard down this time. About 20 minutes after they have my car and the tire removed from the wheel, a guy (whose name is Andy) came out and let me know that the nail that puncture my tire had caused major damage to the inside layer and they recommended a new tire which cost $228. I refused their recommendation and took my tire home. Next day, I re-examined the tire and the damaged area and found that it was not caused by the nail, but with left over rubber shaving of sign being grinded :(. What can I do at this point? I have pictures of this as prove if anyone is interested. DO NOT go LES SCHWAB for anything as their business is based on lies and scam!
