 Well the story is simple and true.  This company is owned by bridgestone, and their retail operations are headed by the infamous Stu Crum.  This is a simple story but one that never changes in this industry. Sellling parts and services that are not needed, forced upon the employees by management, from store manager right on up the chain.  Of course Mr. Crum will deny the practice and write memos stating don't do this or that but he knows.

 

 This was brought to his attention recently in the Kansas City area. How employees are forced to worked overtime or through their lunches in order to satisfy corporate goals.  How they are forced to sell products and services that are not needed or selling them and worse never performed.  How alignments and brakes two of the easiest things to get people to purchase through fear and safety. This is not area specific as they would like to say but it is a national issue.

 

 Right now a local investigative reporter is looking into the allegations and she is being supplied with facts and stories from employees who participated in these consumer ripoff transactions.  Proof Mr. Crum that will be revealed soon.  You can't hide from the truth.  This is not fiction.

 

So this is what I am proposing to all current and former employees.  If you have information on Tire's Plus or Firestone where you were forced or coerced into sellin g or performing work to the consumer where it was unwarranted contact me.  We will turn this around and force them to make right the wrongs committed. Also employees of Tire's Plus and Firestone if you have been forced to work through lunch and not get paid or forced to work overtime and not get paid contact me.  A class action lawsuit is being launched as we speak.  Bridgestone and Stu Crum and anyone else complicit in this will face justice.  I know you are out there, whereever you are from coast to coast, it's a class action.

 

I also encourage cunsumers who have proof or truly feel they have been mislead and lied to to contact me as well. Whereever you are.  You have the right to start a class action as well.  I have proof they do this.  I need more employees to come forward they want to say this is an isolated incident, yeah isloated across the country.

 

Bridgestone walks on people and flaunts the law.  They have lawsuits and settle out of court etc.  They settled for 471 million dollars on a patent infringement case but still made 2 BILLION DOLLARS, YES 2 BILLION.  They think they can do what they want when they want and not be held accountable.  Well your day has come and no turning back now.  You will be held accountable Bridgestone America.  You can't make your billions and crap on people and steal their hard earned money anymore.  Yep profits are gonna go DOWN! You disgust me.

I read your report after submitting my own complaint against the local Firestone that ripped me off, performed unnecessary repairs, refused to supply me with the old parts they allegedly "replaced" without my permission, and slapped illegal inspection stickers on my windshield.

I was told my car didn't pass inspection and needed to be serviced at the dealer first, then returned to bring it up to code and the stickers would be issued at a later time.

After getting charge a thousand dollars for basically nothing. And my car was barely driveable after they either intentionally or carelessly damaged something. I could barely drive it off the lot and ended up in a big argument, threatened to call police and file a complaint, etc.

Total criminals. I would like to know if there is a class action lawsuit in motion and be added to the list of customers who were victims of Firestone fraud and misconduct. Please respond with any helpful information. Thank you.

I'm a 9 year manager and complained and sent email about Corp safty and disregard for safty.

they do not follow work restrictions when an employee get severely injured on the job from being forced to work 13 hour days with no help. 

Forced to take no lunch or breaks and push for sales regardless of cost. 

If you whistleblower on tires plus,Firestone , Bridgestone Corp you will be fired.  

 

 

Stu stu crum personally told me In a email there would be an investigation into safty concerns. 

What a joke.   Join face book page ROCKING-THE-F to tell everyone.
