Super Tyres Gateway - Con Artists, Zero Customer service

I called in twice to confirm a price for tyres and size, they quoted me R800 for Goodyear Efficentgrip, so on Friday I called in again confirmed price and tyre size and was told they have stock. Monday morning I arrive at store I told the salesperson the tyres and size I wanted and price quoted, he tells me has it and sent his man to bring it,

chap comes back with the tyres as well as their house brand a Chinese tyre. I tell him the Goodyear is wrong size but Chinese tyres ares correct size, he goes to his pc and comes back and tells me they quoted me the wrong tyre size and now it will cost me R1050 and he can sell me the Chinese tyres for R780 each and insists it is just as good.

What bunch of con-artists, they quote you a lower price and when you get their they try to push their cheap Chinese house brand which when reviewed is utter garbage in terms of safety.

I was waiting for manager, i think her name was Shabnam, she was listening to conversation but did or said nothing, I just left and purchased tyres from Premier Tyres Springfield Park, no hassle no bull****.

Hi Kevin,
I tried replying earlier from my phone as I was away on leave and not sure if you received it? Anyway, Between my self and our MD, We are extremely saddened about this situation, and both offer our sincere apologies. We as a Company, spend a lot of time and energy on creating a world of Customer Satisfaction, however we have dropped the ball here. We would like to refund you the difference you paid from the price that we quoted you. If you could contact me to make the arrangements? Graham Bush, General Manager. *** Thanks.

Hi Kevin, I have tried responding on this platform 3 times now; yet does not seem to be working?
I have just returned from 2 weeks away, and my team have managed to find the recorded phone call between yourself and Tarish (pmb store) You clearly ask for a 175/70/X14 and then within seconds of that Tarish repeats the size to you whilst looking up pricing but he has already made the mistake by repeating the more popular 175/65X14. Although Tarish is clear when he says it, you unfortunately did not pick up his mistake .The misunderstanding continues throughout the conversation without the sizes ever being discussed again. This was a genuine mistake and by no means an attempt to mislead you. Our brand promise is “The name you can Trust” and this is never something we would tolerate within our company. Our MD who has listened to the recording and is happy that this is merely a misunderstanding is however very happy to credit you the difference on what we misquoted you compared to what you paid for the tyres. He would also like to offer you a free alignment and balancing on your next visit to make up for your lost time and frustration. Graham Bush, General Manager.

Thank you for responding. It was an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience.
In my opinion your staff do require further training in dispute resolution and customer retention.

Your offer of compensation is acceptable, i will email my banking details to info@supertyres or you could provide an alternative. I would appreciate if you would put the offer of free alignment and balancing in writing to avoid later issues. The tyres (Goodyear Efficientgrip compact cost me R895 each, i had 2 installed) .
