Recently purchased a full set of Falken Ziex ZE950 tires from this Southeast Toyota Dealership. I was sold "brand new" tires factory stamped THREE YEARS old and fed the exact same programmed line by all the employees ("All tires are kept in a climate controlled facility.") which by the look and condition of the tires sounds like a load of BS. They physically looked like they had been driven on. To resolve my issue they offered, free of charge, to install a second set of tires. The only problem, this particular Cooper tire was just over two years old and looked dirty and dingy just like the first set but at least not like they had been used. The only tires they claimed they could get that weren't aged were their version of a General Tire only sold by Southern Toyota Group. I wasn't interested in buying into this line about how great this tire was, which didn't carry the reviews the tires I had selected, so my options were exhausted and I left, for a third time, angry and frustrated with the first set of tires still on my car. None of this plays into how badly they treated my rims during the alignment or the fact that they lost one of my solid chrome air caps, only to offer my some knock off alternative, parking my car away from the building and leaving me to return to ask where to find it. Based on their constant explanation that their hands are tied, that they have to contact their supplier/warehouse and they only have one, I would recommend never buy tires from any Southeast Toyota Group dealers. Good deal or not, in the end you really get what you pay for. I highly recommend Discount Tires, they've always treated me great and it was very remiss of me trying to save a buck and trust this bunch.
Sales Visit:
My initial visit was not promising. Crazy busy on Saturday, we were finally greeted but weren't ultimately "helped". The parking lot was so littered with cars it was IMPOSSIBLE to navigate and park appropriately. I've since bought my Toyota from Stone Mountain Toyota, visit the sales associate Noah and his boss Mark and let them get you a great deal. Tell them Ben sent you.
