Tires Plus ripoff cost me more than $3,000 Alcoa Tennessee
To begin with, I purchased a new set of tires from Tires Plus. Within a month, one of those tires blew out on me. Because of the time and place, I had to get a new tire at Wal-Mart. Most recently, approximately a year after the tires were purchased, I had another blowout -- this time on the Interstate. It was August and I was two months pregnant at the time. Changing the tire was very difficult and could have resulted in a miscarriage. Again, because of where I was, I had to purchase another new tire at another location. Then I take my car to another automotive place for a routine oil change and there is a bubble in the third of the four tires, and it was about to bust.
Then again, a year ago (before the tire problems mounted), I had my clutch replaced, which cost $900. However, the transmission still did not work properly, and I had to take it back in for some vague reason, which cost $300 to fix.
Then one day, I take it in to get the blower motor replaced, and it did not work at all. I take it back, and they say they don't have one and will have to order it. When I pick up my car, the motor is magically working all of a sudden, but there is a screw driver in the back seat of my car.
Several co-workers have had problems that appeared in their cars after taking them in for routine oil changes, etc. at the same location.

In response to the blow out of your tires, I'm sure there was nothing in the road or on the curbs that caused any of these tires to blow out. I guess your just like every other person who probably didn't buy road hazard with your tires and think that you can drive all over the road and curbs and not ever get a flat tire. Well here is a reality check, just because a tire is new doesn't me that it is accident proof. Heres a couple of words of advise, say yes to the road hazard because chances are that the road hazard is only about $5.00-$10.00 extra and will be a peace of mind when you pop a curb or hit a nail in the road. Drive carefully and stop writing reports about your misfortunes with your vehicle, it's not our fault.
