We contacted Damascus Automotive Service to inquire about installing four tires onto four rims. They quoted $30 per tire. We dropped off the tires and rims, and the following day, they confirmed everything was ready for pickup. We paid $120 and asked if everything was properly installed—they assured us it was. After bringing the tires and rims home and installing them on our truck, we noticed within a couple of days that both front tires had deflated to 10 psi and both rear tires to 20 psi. We inflated all four to 35 psi and sprayed soap around the tire edges to check for leaks. One tire bubbled around the rim, and the other three showed leaks around the valve stems. We contacted one of the shop owner's family members, who told us the shop should fix the issue since it should've been caught before releasing the tires. My son called the shop and asked when we could bring the truck in for repair. They said they would charge $100 to remove the tires from the truck, citing their weight. However, they offered to fix the issue for free if we brought in just the tires. Shortly after that, they told my son it would be $100 to replace the valve stems. That’s unreasonable—valve stems cost under $10 total. We already paid $120 for the installation, and most reputable shops check for leaks and include valve stem replacement as part of the tire mounting service. This experience was extremely disappointing. I plan to contact the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and other consumer protection services to file a formal complaint. This behavior feels fraudulent and deceptive. Consumers should be very cautious when dealing with this

I love taking my car to Pete. He always accommodates me with my busy schedule and always takes care of my cars so quickly. And his prices are more than fair and competitive. Super honest man that I trust with the vehicles that transport my children and family (including the pets) I won’t trust anyone else with my cars.
