Everything started out great when I had Meramec Tire align my vehicle back in July, Unfortunately that Alignment only lasted maybe 3 days. I took the car back in and spoke with one of the Mechanics employed there. He didn't have time to look at it at that time but told me to bring it back later. This creates a problem for me as I work Nights so I sleep in the afternoons and early evenings. So I continued several more times to try to make arrangements to no avail. Finally after over a month I took the car to one of Meramec Tire's Local competitors and they were able to fix it relatively painlessly. The one part that upset me more then anything though was the fact that in order to get the camber to set correctly a camber kit had to be installed.... why wasn't I informed of this by Meramec Tire or one of their employees? \t\nIt just goes to show you get what you pay for, $64 for a front wheel alignment at Meramec Tire doesn't go very far when I can take that same $64 to their competitor across town and get a 4 wheel alignment done right the first time. \t\nI personally would not recommend meramec tire to anyone who asks me about it, the people were okay at best, the work and time spent getting the alignment done? Completely worthless in every way. I will not EVER return as a customer to this ""Shop"". ...read more
