Owner is a bad man

by JohnSmallpelter at Citysearch

I had an experience similar to another reviewer's I called ahead and was told they take customers up until 4:30pm, but when I showed up at 4:10 I was told they had made their last run to their warehouse, and that I had to come back in the morning.

I asked if I could pay for the tires then so they could just get them on the first tire run of the day, hoping to avoid some of the waiting, but Joe said, "We don't take appointments." I tried to explain how what I was proposing was entirely unlike an appointment, but he acted like I was stupid and kept repeating "We don't take appointments" as if it saying it again might cause it to have some bearing on the issue at hand. If he had shown any sign of understanding what I was saying, I would have cheerfully accepted his ruling, but he seemed incapable of comprehending such a complex idea.

I returned the next day anyway, figuring that his prices were good enough that it was worth the hassle. When I got there, however, I heard him make several disparaging remarks about Latinos or, as he called them, "Porta Rickins". I left immediately, and I won't go back. Cheap tires are not worth a piece of my soul.

• Pros: Cheap tires
• Cons: Rude service, owned by a bigot

Good Luck With This Vendor

by Soulcatcher2000 at Citysearch

I placed a call to this business to get a tire changed at 3:45. Checked to see if they had the tire in stock (which they did) and asked what time they closed (5:00PM )and what was the latest they would take a customer. I was told 4:30PM. I was told to come on in and they would get me taken care of. I leave work early to get there across town, I arrive at 4:15PM and was then told that they weren't taking any more customers today and that the best thing for me to do is to drop it off in the morning and they would call me when the tire had been changed. They could have told me that over the phone vs me leaving work early only to be rejected upon arrival. If you have a policy in place you should honor it and not mislead people to have them believe you will provide a service then decide not to.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Be Careful Using This Vendor

They're simply an excellent place to do business with

by Happenin at Citysearch

First, I'm someone who lives nearby Joe's and knows of their reputation and business practices for at least a generation. My friends and family have done business with them on Union Blvd. for over 30 years. Through all of those business dealings, NO ONE WAS EVER UNHAPPY afterward.

Of course, of all the people who would review this place, the only one who'd previously put forth an effort to actually say something about Joe's would be a negative one. Honestly, I have a very hard time believing that reviewer. So much that I've decided to set the record straight - something I seldom do on opinion-type sites.

I have to tell you folks, Joe's is simply a TOP NOTCH place to do business. For such a small organization, they're well known and respected by both their business peers (including local car dealerships) and customers alike. They have a large customer base for a reason, because they know how to do business properly.

I've personally done business there many times, for both tires and batteries. Each product was above suitable for the need, in fact, excellent.

I don't know of many places that would sell you a 5 year battery and you get one month short of 6 years out of it instead.

Plus, I've ALWAYS been treated with 100% honesty and respect, never been given the slightest hassle and always treated like I'd expect to be....with courtesy and consideration.

Joe's is not some cheap discount chain or national shop where you're mislead, hustled and bustled through the door and shoved out immediately after you pay. These folks are decent human beings. You're talked to and treated properly, not by some scam artist out to make a commission.

Expect to pay a fair price for their products and know that by doing so, you won't go wrong with the quality or service of your purchase.

Enough said, I only hope that you, the next person to come along and read this, has a clearer understanding that Joe's Battery and Tire Service is, IN FACT, an excellent place to do business with!

• Pros: 100% honest, with outstanding service & quality products
• Cons: They're not some cheap chain or national store
