When the customer came in he asked us to check out a thumping noise that he heard when he was driving We did an evaluation on the vehicle and came up with the following items that needed to be addressed: When we looked at his rear tires we saw that they were choppy, we advised the customer that this is what is causing the thumping that he hears in the rear of his vehicle and the only way to get rid of the thumping noise would be to replace the tires When tires become chopped it is nearly always caused by worn or misaligned suspension parts In this customers case it was his shocks that were worn, we advised him of the worn shocks and that we also saw that he needed brakes The customer advised that he would not replace the tires at this time, but we could replace the shocks and his rear brakesWe did give him a quote of $750.00, not including tax or shop supplies, to do the work, when we were billing him out the price was higher by almost $as a result of not adding in the rotors and a miscalculation of the tax We corrected our mistake and he was billed outI have attached the invoice to show that we came in under our quote of $- his subtotal was $- shop supplies were $- to compensate for our error in billing the first time we gave him a 5% discount of $- state tax is with a total of $We performed work that the customer approved, he declined to replace the tires which would get rid of the noise
The truck did come into our shop with the customer complaining that the brake pedal was going to the floorWhen the vehicle was checked the front brake pads were jammed into the front caliper hardware, bending the hardware making it then hit the brake rotors When the brakes were then applied the pads were not even hitting the brake rotor fully Also the right front caliper pin was sticking.The rear brakes were also installed incorrectly On the right rear the adjuster was off inside the brake drum and it ground into the drum and damaged the right rear brake shoe When the right rear brake drum was taken off the brake components fell off the vehicle and onto the floor It also appeared that the wheel cylinder on the right rear was also replace, as it was different than the wheel cylinder on the left rear of the vehicle This truck has different wheel cylinder options and when the customer installed the wheel cylinder he installed the smaller one (which was not the correct one for his vehicle) The wheel cylinder on the left rear of the vehicle while not replaced when the other one was, now was leaking brake fluidAfter getting the customers permission to complete the visible repairs to the vehicle, we started to work on the vehicleOnce the repairs were completed the technician took the vehicle for about 5-mile ride to test the brakes and see if there was still a problem with the brake pedal The truck braked fine and there was no problem with the pedalThe customer was not picking the vehicle up until the following day so the vehicle was brought back and put in the garage When the truck was backed out in the morning, there was no problem with the brakes or the brake pedalThe customer picked up the vehicle on Thursday morning He then brought the truck back that afternoon and stated that the pedal was low again The technician drove the vehicle to check to verify the problem and he was correct the pedal was low We brought the vehicle back into the shop and bled the system again and found air in the system We then looked up the problem for the vehicle with the manufacturer and it was suggested to bleed the brakes again this time using the ABS bleed procedure Before we could start to bleed the brakes using the ABS bleed procedure, the customer advised us that he had to leave, that we could not finish looking into the problem but he would be back in the morning (Friday March 27, 2015) And he was going to leave the truck so we could finish bleeding the brakes and making sure that everything was alrightThe customer never returned so we could finish the job and look into making sure that everything was alright with the vehicle Our concern is that since the vehicle had incorrect parts installed, this could have caused damage to other parts that were not seen until the vehicle is driven for a while such as the master cylinder or even the abs system The customer was made aware of this when we found that the incorrect parts were on the vehicle, but we had to start first by correcting the work that was done incorrectly the first time, by the customerI don't see how the customer expects us to give him his money back after we replaced all the parts that were put on the vehicle incorrectly and also the wrong parts used on the vehicle We are trying to find out what is causing the air in the brake line, but this could now be because of a damaged master cylinder or even damage to the ABS system, which would have been a result of the work that was done on the vehicle prior to Jack Williams working on the vehicleWe have tried to contact the customer to bring the vehicle back in so we could see what was wrong, but if he does not want to come back to our [redacted] location we have other locations in Northeastern and Central [redacted] that he can bring the truck into for them to look at what could be causing air to get into the systemWe will not be giving the customer a refund on the work that we did to correct and repair the work that was done incorrectly to the vehicle I am attaching copies of the work order, and the customers invoice for the work that was performed

At this point I am asking Jack Williams Tire to investigate and make inquiries into the possibility that one of their technicians might be acting unethically and tampering with customers vehicles As I indicated in the original complaint I am more interested in having a potentially fraudulent business practice investigated While it may not be the practice of Jack Williams Tire Center's corporation to engage in unethical business practices it is quite possible that an individual is responsible If it is determined that there was, in fact, tampering with customers vehicles by one of their service techs then I would like to be compensated for the cost of repairs An apology might also be in order I am fully aware that components fail and problems do occur The only reason I am filing this complaint is because I have learned of other instances, almost identical to my own experience, which have occurred recently involving this particular Jack Williams Tire Center location Thank You

Jack Williams still stands behind the work that we did on the [redacted] - we did advise the customer that because of the incorrect parts that were put on the vehicle that the reason for the pedal to continue to go to the floor could either be, air in the lines, or that a master cylinder would need to be replaced or a problem with the ABS System If the customer would have come back the next day as he said he was going to, but didn't, and we found as [redacted] did that the master cylinder needed to be replaced That would have been work that he would have to pay us for in addition to the work that was already done on the vehicle But since [redacted] 's did it, that has no bearing on the work that we already did on the vehicle We will however, reduce the balance that is owed to us for all of the work that we did on the customers vehicle, by $129.85, since the customer had to have the rear drums cut by [redacted] 's Please see below for the balance that should be paid to Jack Williams: $- for work done on invoice [redacted] on 03/26/ - fee for stop payment put on check for work done on invoice [redacted] $- balance due for work done on [redacted] on invoice [redacted] on 03/26/ - cost to have drums cut at [redacted] 's $- current balance due from customer for work that was done on [redacted] on invoice [redacted] on 03/26/ Please be advised that the matter of the stop payment on the check is being handled by our Accounts Receivable Department and they will take this matter to the District Magistrate if necessary I would suggest that you contact them to settle this account as soon as possible

We advised of the TPMS Sensors months ago - your vehicle was out of our care, custody and control since you left our location, and was also in another garage at some point in time It is not our practice, regardless of what our competitor says, to remove the TPMS Sensors when we advise you there is a problem with them unless we are going to replace them with you approvalWe are not going to pay you for the sensors that you purchased Until there is concrete proof that we did remove them, which we did not There will be no compensation for your sensors
When the customer came into our [redacted] location on April 11, to purchase tires for his [redacted] , we advised him that he should get new TPMS Sensors as they are all corroded We also advised that of the sensors was not reading, I have attached all the paperwork from the customers visit that day Also we noted that the TPMS light was on when the vehicle was brought into the garage and prior to the work performed on the vehicle After months, the customers comes back to us stating that he does not have any sensors, and he was told by a repair shop that they have been removed When we change tires we do not remove the stems with the sensors, we reset them if they can be or advise that new sensors need to be purchased or replace I know that this is going to be a back and forth thing with us saying that we don't remove the sensors and the customer saying that we didAlso in reviewing the owners manual for a [redacted] it does state that the TPMS light would be on as of the sensors was not reading but according to the owners manual there would also be a chime if there were no TPMS Sensors (see this information in the attachment) The customer states that there was just the light on and never mentioned a "chime" noise to alert him that there was no TPMS SensorsWith the amount of time that has gone between the time the tires were replaced and the complaint from the customer, I don't see that anyone can say for sure that we removed the sensors As I said before I can see that this is just going to be a "he said - she said" type of complaintPlease let me know if there is anything else that is neededRegards, Robin D [redacted] Jack Williams Tire Co., Inc Customer Experience Administrator [redacted] Phone ###-###-#### Fax ###-###-#### www.jackwilliams.com

When the customer came into our [redacted] location on April 11, to purchase tires for his [redacted] , we advised him that he should get new TPMS Sensors as they are all corroded We also advised that of the sensors was not reading, I have attached all the paperwork from the customers visit that day Also we noted that the TPMS light was on when the vehicle was brought into the garage and prior to the work performed on the vehicle After months, the customers comes back to us stating that he does not have any sensors, and he was told by a repair shop that they have been removed When we change tires we do not remove the stems with the sensors, we reset them if they can be or advise that new sensors need to be purchased or replace I know that this is going to be a back and forth thing with us saying that we don't remove the sensors and the customer saying that we didAlso in reviewing the owners manual for a [redacted] it does state that the TPMS light would be on as of the sensors was not reading but according to the owners manual there would also be a chime if there were no TPMS Sensors (see this information in the attachment) The customer states that there was just the light on and never mentioned a "chime" noise to alert him that there was no TPMS SensorsWith the amount of time that has gone between the time the tires were replaced and the complaint from the customer, I don't see that anyone can say for sure that we removed the sensors As I said before I can see that this is just going to be a "he said - she said" type of complaintPlease let me know if there is anything else that is neededRegards, Robin D [redacted] Jack Williams Tire Co., Inc Customer Experience Administrator [redacted] Phone ###-###-#### Fax ###-###-#### www.jackwilliams.com
