1 /5 Miguel Cruz: Theyre just out there to make a quick buck, thats all theyre there for! I had scheduled an appointment five days in advance to install two tires. Even paid the installation fee ahead of time.
But, when I show up to my appointment, they say its "against Walmart policy" to install my tires. They cited the "tread difference" would be too great.
I have an AWD SUV so that excuse WOULD make sense, if it WAS ACTUALLY "too different", as they had said. News flash: It wasnt. They refused to put my tires on unless I bought four new ones.
I passed. Instead, I went to the local Chevrolet dealer (I have a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse), and I told them what happened.
They had their professional technicians ACTUALLY inspect the tires, and they said just replacing the two front ones would be fine.
Because, as I had stated to the techs and the tech manager here, the back tires were still new themselves.
Apparently Walmart techs consider themselves above even the techs that made the cars themselves. What a high horse they ride! Considering theyve never even made a car themselves!
I had heard bad reviews about Walmart Auto Center techs, and it turns out, the bad reviews check out! They dont honor peoples orders, and dont issue refunds up front, either.
I had to contact Walmart Corporate to get a refund on the installation fees. So, long story short, if you want to install a whole new set of four tires, then sure, you can come here.
But if you just want to install two, avoid these guys at ALL costs! I am VERY disappointed with the techs, and the fact they couldnt even issue me a refund on their own!
AND the fact they couldnt be bothered to call me ahead of time to alert me about these "Walmart policies" that are in place, that, supposedly, "prevents them" from installing just two tires, seemingly.
But apparently installing four is fine, regardless of tread wear. Seems legit.
Anyways, needless to say, I wont be going here EVER again, and for ALL my future tire needs, Ill just go to the dealership directly. Thanks for nothing, Walmart "Auto Center"! I appreciate it!
I rate them 0/5 stars for customer service, fulfilling orders, and so called "tech management" that seemingly are literally useless against so called "Walmart policies" in every way, shape, and form.
Like...whats the point of even having them around if they cant even do anything in the first place? Not even refund orders?
Thats crazy. Thanks, Walmart! I appreciate the stellar "Customer Service Experience"!
So much for "caring about our customers" and "the customer always being #1 priority"! What a sham! 0/5 stars experience through and through, for sure!
