I had a shop in Wayland Ma. for 13 years and, Barry Steinberg, owner of Direct tire, called me up looking for my tire and alignment business as he was opening up a new shop in Framingham not too far from me.
So I decided to give him a try and opened an account and started buying tires.
So after I installed customers new tires I would check the car out and take the car to get it aligned.
One particular day we were too busy to take a customers car to get it aligned so we thoroughly checked it out to make sure there were no problems and the customer told me he would take it to get it lined up the following week.
We'll Direct Tire didn't know it was a customer of mine and gave him a long list of must repairs totaling over $1500 and said they couldn't line it up until this work was done.
That was the last time I ever did any business with them.
A few months later the owner called me up and ask why I wasn't buying any more tires and I told him. Then he tells me I still owe him for the last invoice, which I paid for in cash. Needless to say, his driver stole the money and put the invoice on my account.
