| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought a hyundai accent 2001 new at car pros in lacey (now sold). on the incident date i had a flat tire from a screw in tire at church. a friend changed the tire for me and put on the spare tire(little one). i noticed it looked very low. they told me not to drive it to work since i work a half-hour away and drive on the freeway (i-5). i went to les schwab and had them fix the flat tire & asked if they would look at the spare also. they told me the spare already had a plug from a hole in it and that they replaced that plug and filled the tire up properly. had i been on the freeway i would have had another flat and been stuck out there. needless to say i was upset that the new car i bought had a used spare tire in it. since i bought the car, car pros in lacey, wa was sold to titus-will in olympia, wa, so i called them to ask what do i do to get a new spare tire. the general manager called me and after discussing the matter had his staff take my car to les schwab to put a new spare tire in the car. i wonder how many other cars were sold new with used spare tires? it also makes you wonder were the tires on the car new or old? this was my first new car and didn't have a clue to check. *jb |
