Tire 3000

[astatik]

Hey all, just would like to let u guys know that i work at a tire shop called TIRE 3000
we\'re located on markham rd. north of 16th ave. (MARKHAM)

we are direct dealers with toyo and kuhmo tires as well we carry pretty much all tire brands
i just would like to share this info with u all, and if want great-deals just let me know what size and tire you want our store number is: 905-201-7933 give us a call :)

i\'ll be happy to help a fellow mazda3 driver out :D

[S.F.W.]

hye, how much for Kumho ASX 205/50/17. Looking to buy in the next week or so..

[mazda3boss]

blah... too far :p

[S.F.W.]

Just want to post a thumbs up to Tire 3000. He just saved me $60.00 off of tire23 price for my Kuhmo ASX. Add they can get them in 3 days as opposed to 1 week!

[BLKOUT]

I tried to call you (Tire 3000) but got a voicemail that is not set up. Can you give me pricing for the following:

205/55/16 Viking Snowtech with steel rims
195/60/15 Viking Snowtech with steel rims

Thanks!

[jdanielsg]

just so i know how much would 16\'s cost for the stock alloys... Nokian All Weathers..

[astatik]

hey guys the best way to get your quotes is to just call in. it\'s been very busy at the shop because of the winter season and at times it\'s just impossible to answer all calls because we\'re constantly working on car after car after car. I apologize, but just keep trying to call in and someone will help you with your questions.
i\'m sorry i can\'t give u quotes right now because i don\'t have any pricing booklets at home. if anything just try calling in again, thanks.

[MZR3]

Well, can you take down the tire models and check the price then post for the poeple who are interested in them?

You phone just plain not working at all!!

Do get on the E-commerce wagon man!!:)

[fourtrack78]

hi astatik how much for 205/55/16 with steel rims

[MZR3]

yeah, man. what kind of winter tires do you still have for 205/55/R16 size?

Please provide all included price (installation+balancing+tax) w/ 16\" steelies since we can\'t get through to you by phone...I think I tried way too many times and gave out.

Thx.

[ieatkittens]

Also looking for 205/55/16\'s...tried calling your shop half a dozen times already today and constantly being sent to a voicemail box not setup yet


Edit: Looking for pricing/availiability for:

All 205/55/16, with a set of 4 hubcentric steelies

Kuhmo kw17
Viking Snowtech
Dunlop m3

[fourtrack78]

I just got back from tire 3000. Got 205/55/16 Nexen 700 on 16 steelies for 680 installed.

[MZR3]

That\'s the same price quoted by Wheels Direct, but their services SUCKS.

I am going to Tire 23 next week to get mine 3 fitted with Vikings...I was going to go today, but they called me to let me know that they are out of the hubcentric steelies, and gave me the options to either install a non hub centric ones or wait. I think this is a very considerate gesture from Tire 23, and it\'s appreciated.

[fourtrack78]

yeah i was going there 2 but they couldnt take me until monday and they are in miss. tire 3000 is just down the road from me

**I just called Tire 3000 and the guy quoted me $620 plus tax ($713 tax/install in) for a set of 195/60/15 and steelies for the wifes Inifinit G20. When I told the guy that someone on this board got it for $680 installed, he said, if you want it take it, if not don;t and then he hung up on me!!! WTF!! No customer service at all!! I guess I will have to wait for Tires23 to come through.....DO NOT BUY FROM TIRE 3000, THEY ARE A$$HOLES!!!

[fourtrack78]

sorry to hear that 2005BLKMAZDA3. I guess you should go to the other guys. i went to tire 3000 and they were fine.You are lucky they answered the phone thats why i ended up going there, they never answered.i only went because they are close to home. i believe the guys name was Micheal.

Economics 101...must I talk about this every year? Supply & Demand model. You chose to buy winter tires right when it starts snowing. Had you bought them a month ago, you wouldn\'t have to deal with this. :sarc

[astatik]

hey guys, i hear alot of negative feedback about tire3000 and their customer service. i only work there once a week part time..., and i understand customer service is very important. and i\'m sorry for the ones who can\'t get through the telephone as well.
but please understand from my experience working at this tireshop last season, when the first snow fall hits, the shop is crazy. i can\'t stress enough of how busy we are. when i get to work i start at 8am in the morning and work till 4pm straight on the cars with no break or no food. it\'s literally death! the phone rings at the shop, most of the times but most often we are already preocuppied working on a customer\'s car because of pre-booked appointments. everything here is go-go-go because of the season. and it will probably be like that for other places as well but probably not as bad as ours. again sorry for those who got offended but please try to understand our situation.

thx guys

[MZR3]

Hey Astatik, we are not attacking you personally, but the shop. I can imagine that all the tire shops are crazy after the first snow fall, but just look at the many post about Tire 23, they are busy too, but they have a voice mail box set up, and they return calls to people...

What it impressed me the most is that they even call to make sure the potential clients know what they are getting and allow the clients the option to choose. In my case, they let me know that they were out of hub-centric rims, and offered alternative and option to wait. They can very well not say a thing and tell me after I get there (some 20KM away, I think), but they didn\'t. I wasn\'t going to go all that far to get my tires, but they EARNED my business. Sure there are other shos around my area, but like Tire 3000, which I can\'t get through over the phone, and Wheels Direct, which has SUCKY service attitude, but if anyone want my business, they better step up to the plate and put the service where counts...with customers, potential or not.

I know you only work there, but please do pass on the message to your boss so that maybe one day they can earn my business too, if they can step up to the plate and change the way they treat potential clients.

posting 101 - top posting is like working for microsoft and using firefox

A: the context is lost
Q: why top posting sucks?

as for the \'sales\' experience.. it\'s 2005BLKMAZDA3\'s word against T3000 and guess what T3000 is too busy or not even aware of tm3.com

1) when i called them BACK in sept/oct \'04 for a tire/rim combo, their price was way off when compared to espec.. oh they actually had the time to talk to me .. oh wait that was all b4 the snow fell.. :sarc
2) irate customer will always embelish his/her story when he/she knows the other side will not respond to defend themselves
3) if that customer is dumb enough to wait till the last minute, he/she deserves to pay more as per supply/demand 101
4) id you expect T3000 to drop their price? if they can get a clintelle that is willing to pay a premium, then they would be losing money (or not making as much) of each sale..

come on.. this happens in every day life.. whether it\'s just tires or a whole effin car.. if people want to get gauged and get shitty service they usually go to mornigside/markham.scarborough mazda.. if you want a good experience and a lower price talk to avante/mot/dwm/westowne.. and if you can\'t take your time to do some research then don\'t bitch about the prices/stock/customer service.. they are people too and get stressed out when they work a full day w.o breaks..

just my 2cents..

ps. realize i am on NyQuill now and might not be as coherent as i wish.. :p

[MZR3]

S&D is one thing, but for any business that is smart, it should have the right people who can deal with the stress and be able to handle customers like they are the only one they have, and that the business depended on them.

Too bad that there is no rating system like some other service industries, otherwise we all are able to save our time and effort to get a better service/price than we are getting now!

Well enough rant about service...I am done writing about it too. :zzz

[Kevin@nextmod]

There is a chinese saying. Nowadays, these kinds of service is not acceptable. :)

[gigileung]

Hee, that is more like a HK Tourist Board saying...

Majic,

I totally understand what you are saying. I have to mention that I am not inflating the story at all. You give them a call and ask for a quote for the same tires I want and then mention to them that you saw a post on here that is lower and watch what they say to you!! It should not matter when I chose to buy the tires for my car, CUTOMER SERVICE IS TOP PRIORITY!! If you have any common sense, you would know this! If you were to look, you would see that the guy from Tire 3000 started this post! Just because they are busy is no reason to give a comment like that.

I know a guy from T3000 started this thread.. but if you read closely he\'s there once a week (part time) so he has almost NO leverage on how they do business.. and if THEY do busioness the way they are now and they are making a profit then all is well for them. don\'t get me wrong.. i\'m all about customer service too..

Rule#1: customer is always right
Rule#2: if customer is wrong, refer to Rule#1

anyway.. in the end YOU choose where YOU will buy from and if this means T3000 losing your business and others, then so be it.. others will go there out of necessity/last resort..

cheers,

ps. i\'m on DayQuill now :)

[BLKOUT]

my post was simply to inform other people of the $hitty service I received from them, just like how other people say that wheels direct has crap service....thats all....

[FLIPDADY]

You probably caught them on a bad day. Look at it from their prospective, right now everyone who didn\'t get snows earlier like they should have is looking for the \"best deal\" in town.

They\'ve been getting tons of calls since the first real snowfall. To top it all off they have a lot of people just phoning around for pricing and wasting their time. Speaking from experience on both sides of the business tire distributors can only carry so many tires at their warehouses and as soon as the snow hits it\'s goodbye to your stock.

So if you\'re not happy with their service just move on to the next place that wants your business.

amen .. couldn\'t have said it better myself.. damn that day/nyquill :p

[BLKOUT]

you know what, it should not matter what time of the day/year it is....with them being a small business, they should be helpful to everyone, it could have resulted in a sale for them, which means more money! If they are understaffed, then hre more people!

[TheProfessor]

I think the point that Flipspeed is making is that they\'re gonna sell their entire stock of tires, regardless of whether they get your business or not. From their standpoint, why would they sell a valuable commodity like winter tires at a price below what they could charge to some joe schmoe off the street? I\'m not saying I agree with that practice or the service they gave you, but it is a harsh reality considering the first snowfall has already come.

If they\'re not gonna try and earn your business I would go elsewhere and forget about it.

[RedRaptor]

Is this your first time buying something like winter tires? If so, I understand that you are experiencing this for the first time. But like others have said, it is a harsh reality of life. Why would they sell it to you for a cheap price? They could easily sell those tires to a guy who is a good customer 365 days a year. All tire shops have limited stock of winter tires and if you think you are going to get winter tires for \"cheap\" now, you are dreaming.

Check with Tires23 and its time to stop complaining and put some of the blame on yourself for bargaining now for a cheap price on winter tires at this time of the year.:sarc

Yes this is the first time buying winter tires, but apparantly you have trouble understanding why I am not happy with them. If you read what I wrote, you would see that it is the SERVICE I am not happy with not the price. I understand that pricing has increased due to supply and demand, but what I did not like was what he said and the tone he used. I simply asked if he could match or beat the price he quoted another member. If he is not able to do better all he has to do is say no, not \"If you want, then buy, if not bye\" then he hung up right away..

[RedRaptor]

Time to move on and actually spend your time and energy getting winter tires instead of fighting off forum members here. You\'re not going to get any pity here.

Who is asking for pity?? My original post was stating the fact that Tire 3000 has shitty service, just like someone else posted that wheels direct has shitty service, simple to understand. just spreading my experience with them.

[gigileung]

BTW, does anyone know why there is such a deficiency of stock this year? Or only a deficiency of good deals due to higher prices because of the price of petroleum increasing?

[SGT06]

I, for one, sure do appreciate the post by 2005BLKMAZDA3. I thought that one of the purpose of the board is to share experience about dealer service. Granted that some are good and some are bad experience but if all I hear is positive experience then it is very misleading. Similarly for negative experience.

Listen, you made your point about Tire 3000 and you\'ve helped some people. But by acting like a kid and mudslinging you are really discrediting yourself and your feedback. Now people are going to wonder if you\'re a whiner giving bad feedback to any store that doesn\'t \"please\" you or are you actually a mature creditable adult. If you ask me, I would say you are looking like the former right about now. :sarc

How am I acting like a kid? My first post to inform people of the service I got, is this forum not for posting good and bad things??? There is another topic about wheels direct and the crap service someone got, but no one said anything to him....

majic,

Don\'t worry about this fool, he is just here to cause trouble and just because he contributed one useless review, he thinks he is king and wants to start banning veterans like you. :sarc
