Went to National Tire & Battery (same as Merchant's and Tire Kingdom) to get 3 new tires (I replaced the first one about a month ago).

I found the same tire at walmart for $30 cheaper. So they honored that price with their lowest price guarantee (I didn't argue with the full price I paid for the one I bought a month ago). So after I paid and was leaving, I noticed a big sign inside that read "We will beat, not meet, any price when shown at the time of purchase, or your tires are free".

Now, they met walmart's price to the penny...but since they did not 'beat' it, but only 'meet' it, should I argue with them for free tires? I have a call in to their customer service and a regional rep is supposed to call me back.

Well...the store manager called back and asked for my card number so we could refund the price of the tires...no arguements or complaining (he didn't seem happy though).

So I guess I'll just have to see if it really shows up back on my card.

I'm sure it will. It's cheaper for them to do that than to fight it. I have a feeling that manager will be sure to drop the price $0.01 a tire next time so he doesn't have to do this again though.

how much did the 3 tires cost you?

 

[99Cat]

They were $130, but at walmart for $106

Usually they will just tell you that the other place doesnt include mounting, valves, balancing and weights. Our store includes everything for free so we cant use that excuse but i know local places that does.

 

[99Cat]

NTB charges $15 for the mounting, weights, lifetime balance, etc . So this was just purely for the tires.

 

[GrandMasterKhan]

$130 for all 3 tires??? WTF

 

[99Cat]

Oh c'mon...$130 a piece. :banghead:
