Lakewood Tire & Service

If I could give zero stars I would. This guy is legit a CROOK. We took him to small claims court and won but who cares? We cant get ahold of him for our money back. Do NOT even try with him, his shop is not in fact closed as it appears. The way he does business should be considered criminal. Please dont even risk it.

So I paid $85 dollars thinking my car was going to get a new tire no, it ended up getting this, a plug. I was tailgated to the gas station then blocked in. I am not the type of person to not pay someone even if they did a crappy job. Something still didn't feel right so I went to the tire place by my house the man said "You paid $85 for this" then chuckled at me, I looked shook my head and said "I guess so". I was taken advantage of not only that you came and charged me $85 for a plug, a plug. You will reap what you sew.

Overcharged by 60%. The owner, Rick, quoted me $500 to get dual exhaust put in my car from manifold out. I confirmed this price 3 different times on 3 different days. The first day I brought my car in the mechanic spent about 5 hours to get the old exhaust cut out and do the work up to the mufflers (Rick told me they would put in Flowmaster mufflers, but I spoke with the mechanic who had already put the mufflers in, he said they were knockoffs). Anyways, the mechanic told me they did not have the ability to make the tailpipes and they would have to special order them. Rick prorated me for the work done that day, nearly $600, remember, the job is still not done. I went back in the next week and they finished putting they tailpipes in, they finished at the end of their open hours. The mechanic told me there was now an exhaust leak and I would have to come in a third time in order to get it fixed. I got my final bill from Rick, $300. I expressed my frustration (possibly a bit of yelling) and said I wouldn't pay that much. He said, "you're playing games with me, it's $400 now or I'm calling the cops and selling your car!" I told him that was ridiculous, and ended up paying $240 for the still unfinished job. All in I paid about $840. This place is the worst, mainly because of the shady owner Rick. I spent about 2 hours total in the waiting room and 3 customers got into arguments with Rick in that time. I watched him walk away from people, talk down to them, and outright try to lie. The bad reviews of this place are not just the few who had a bad experience, they are what you should expect if you come to this "buisness." Steer clear, if you don't you will regret it. Update: Jacked the car up to look at the quality of the exhaust and it was abysmal. I decided to take him to small claims court. Had another mechanic look at the job to back up my statement, he said it needed to be redone entirely. I won the claim for almost my full bill.

Absolutely horrible customer service and very disrespectful and rude owner, Rick. He will be the death of his own business. Don't let any low ball price they quote you suck you in. They don't fix your vehicle AND they charge more than quoted to get it back still in a state of disrepair. Then you have to pay another shop to do the work you've already paid for. Attorney General office should take a hard look at this scam artist and his business practices. Oh, and if you aren't white, STEER CLEAR.

Not only did I spend over a hour and a half, Rick the manager told us $69 for a new single tire and charged us $98.25. Horrible customer service. Do not waste your time and money there!!
