Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING 30MPH ON A FRIDAY WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. I MADE A SERVICE CALL TO COME AND CHANGE MY TIRE TO THE SPARE. ONCE I WAS AT THE REPAIR SHOP TO GET A NEW TIRE, THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO CAUSE THE BLOW OUT. THE REAR SPRING COIL HAD BUSTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND LACERATED THE TIRE. MY CAR WAS DEEMED UNSAFE AND I WAS WITHOUT IT FOR A FULL WEEKEND BECAUSE THE REPAIRS COULDN'T BE MADE UNTIL MONDAY. NOT ONLY DID I HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR SPRING COILS, BUT ALSO THE STRUTS, SWAY LINK BAR, AND A NEW TIRE FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $986. I ALSO HAD THE FRONT SPRING COILS REPLACED (BECAUSE ONE WAS CRACKED) 13 MONTHS EARLIER. *TR
