Called Quality Tire on McDonald Street three times, was put on hold for 5 mins each time and was never responded to.
Called this quality tire to inquire about having new tires put on existing wheels. The tires were purchased else where at a good deal. Talked with a representative, asked if I had purchased the tires through them, I said no, he replied $70 a tire. I already had quotes through Graham and KalTire of $35 and $40 respectively. Mentioned that my fleet manager at my employer recommended talking to them as they do a lot of business through them. Quality Tire representatives comment was "you wouldn't buy a steak and bring it to the Keg and expect a deal" or something along those lines.
Listen, I get it. You wanna bundle the product and service to recover any gross margin lost on a deal given on the tires - but your not even close on price - your double in fact. I get shop local and support local owned business but if this is how people are treated I'll go to the big box places - they have better prices, better customer service and employ more Regina residents so taking my business their is better for the local economy. Canadian Tire (where I bought the tires from) are $25 a tire - friendly, polite and helpful.
I won't stop trying to support who I can but very, very disappointed in the experience I had today.
