Wabash Tire Shop — Local services in Lakeland

I feel I was robbed. I would’ve given 1 star to be honest but they were open on a Sunday and took me in was nice and all. I asked for my tire to be looked at because it was leaking slow air. Woman took my money without confirming what the issue was but I trusted it. They said there was nothing wrong with my tire. The owner that was supposed to work on my car left and so did the woman that took my money and left a guy there that said he didn’t even work there. So I called the woman that took my money and told her “this man said there’s nothing wrong with my tire can I please get my funds back” her response I feel was rude she said “well we still looked at it bring it back if there’s more problems and we’ll do whatever you want us to do”… seems like they needed the 20 more than I did. my tire still losing air and I refuse to go back seems like they have no clue on what they’re doing. And instead of giving me my money back they kept it for nothing left the premises and allowed someone who didn’t even work there to check my tire. Will never come here again I would suggest to hold onto your money before you pay they will try to get you to pay before services are done. They lost a customer id prefer to pay another person to fix my tire than go back and waste my time and more money for the problem to...

I think this shop is very unprofessional. When I arrived everyone (3 people) were standing or sitting around no one greeted me even though I was the only customer there, had gotten out of my vehicle and walked up to the "shop" until I asked.. who works here? A woman responded and said we all do. The price I was quoted was $35 a tire. I decided to get 2. The service was fast however the ground was covered with debris and I was afraid that I would pick up a nail or metal in my other tires just by pulling up in that area. They also had a small child in the work area. Once I got ready to pay the price jumped up $10. The woman tells me AFTER I handed her $80 cash and asked for my change. Oh it's $5 per tire if you don't take them with you. But they had already taken the old tires and put them to the side. There were no prices advertised anywhere and I feel like all prices should have been disclosed before service started.REPLY: My valve stem was NOT replaced due too the fact I decided to replace the entire tire instead of just replacing the stem in my old tire. After I was told by staff that that particular tire had more wear and tear on it than the other tire I was going to replace anyway. IF The stem was replaced this Is the first I...

I needed them in a pinch but had to pay more later.

I had a nail in my tire and was unable to get the nail out without pushing it deeper into the tire. I called this location because they were 24/7. I called the phone and the etiquette could've been better. Maybe introduce yourself as the shop instead of just saying hello...

The female on the phone gave me an address that was about 1min from the shop at a residence. The gentleman did not have the equipment to remove the rim from the tire at that moment so he actually just pushed the nail into the tire and patched it. So now I have a patched tire with a nail rolling around inside which is not the smartest thing to do. I ended up paying $45 to get out of there then went to Walmart and had them remove the tire from the rim so I could get the nail for $15. Lesson learned do not detour away...
