Absolutely awful experience with TireDirect.ca.
Absolutely awful experience with TireDirect.ca.
I ordered a set of tires and one arrived defective. The shop couldn’t get it to seat properly and ended up wasting time trying to balance it, costing me extra money while my car sat unusable for days. This was clearly a bad tire out of the box.
Trying to get it resolved was even worse. I called multiple times, left voicemails, and got no response. When they finally replied, they immediately pushed responsibility onto the manufacturer and told me to deal with it myself.
Even after I contacted the manufacturer and they confirmed TireDirect should be handling the claim, TireDirect still refused to take ownership. Their “solution” was that I pay for a brand new tire upfront, ship the defective one back at my expense, wait weeks for inspection, and maybe get reimbursed later. Meanwhile, I’m already out money from shop fees because of their defective product.
The most ridiculous part? After all of that, they casually say “let us know if you want to buy a new tire so we can help you with this issue.” That IS the issue. I shouldn’t have to buy another tire to fix the one they sent broken.
Now the manufacturer is talking about reimbursing me with a gift card, which just adds to the confusion. At this point it’s been a complete mess with zero accountability from TireDirect.
If anything goes wrong with your order, expect to be ignored, redirected, and stuck paying out of pocket to fix their mistake. I would not recommend buying from them.
