I took my wife's car into Foumtain Tire for a lube, oil change and tire rotation. I was there at the appointed time and they were ready for me. They performed the requested jobs in a timely manner and said the tires didn't require rotation as they were equally worn. They checked the brakes and gave them a passing grade. As always,they did a good job in a timely manner and at a reasonable price.
Response:
Thank you Michael for taking the time to give us a review. You always do and we truly appreciate it. It’s always a delight to see you and we look forward to the next time.

I had what I thought was a nail in my tire that turned out to be a damaged rim. The technicians said the rim needed to be replaced or repaired. There were no replacements available except by ordering one in. Since I was heading down to Vancouver that day, they bent over backwards trying to provide me with a loan tire and rim so that I wouldn't have to travel on the donut spare tire at 80 kms. Unfortunately the bolt pattern had been changed for my SUV and the loaner wheel would not fit. In the end I had to return to Vancouver on the spare tire. I really appreciated that the staff tried to find a way to solved my dilemma. They also reminded me to use the 4 way flashers when I was travelling below the posted speed and to take the Hope Princeton instead of the Coq back home. Thank you for all your help.
Response:
Thank you so much for leaving us a 5 star review and your feedback. We wish we could have done more, but we're so glad to hear that you made it back safely. Thank you for letting us know.

I came in for a brake check, fluids change/oil and alignment! They did a good job doing oil change but I need to come back for alignment! Wheel vibrate when coming down from fast speed! I also herd advertising for bcca that if you do oil change there you get a free alignment which is $100.00! So thought you might keep up with competitors! They check brakes indicated no swelling but they still make noise! They are an improvement from when I came in but still not satisfied about squeezing noise so I will need to comeback!

When I was at Fountain Tire, I got a quote on a set of summer tires. I was appalled at the price. The price of almost $850 for mid range tires was a reckless effort by the salesman. My 2013 Jeep Patriot didn't tires that bad. I got the exact tire at another dealer for $665. Who was trying to take me for a ride. NEVER AGAIN at Fountain Tire in Penticton. And they had to send away for them. I showed the other dealer the quote and he couldn't believe it. Not on sale either. Just a better dealer.

I phone the day after a long weekend to see if they had room for an appointment to change my oil and they were able to help me. I went to leave home only to find my battery was not working and I had to get a boost. So I phoned them back and asked if they could possibly also do a battery change for me and they said yes they could I am very grateful for the service I received from them they are the tops for me. Thankyou for all they do I highly them to everybody .

I went to Fountain with a bouquet of issues....windshield washer not working, engine trouble light always on and dashboard lights randomly going off and on. Fountain repaired and replaced as necessary and charged a fair price for both parts and service. I will return.

After running over a nail and getting a flat tire I needed an emergency repair. I called and was turned away by two other tire companies before I called Fountain Tire in Penticton. Chuck took my call, booked me in immediately and provided excellent customer service that was over and above! I am so impressed with this company, not only did Chuck present himself in a neat, organized professional and friendly manner, he made a difficult afternoon so much better. I appreciate good customer service and this is my Tire shop from now on!

Thanks for checking the tires of my two automobiles and taking your time to rotate the tires of one of them. I am surprised that the tires are legal this winter as I am a new resident here. My tires do not have the M+S symbol nor the three-peak mountain with a snowflake symbol. I don't quite understand how they are legal but am taking your advice. Thanks again for your time. I appreciate this free service.

I brought my vehicle in for a dashboard light repair. After completing exhaustive tests, it was determined that it would be necessary to go to the dealer for their computer diagnosis. After the time spent looking for a fix, there was no charge! A pleasant surprise indeed.

zero marks for this shop. i purchashed my tires on the langley by-pass a few months ago. maby almost 6 months. regaurdless i needed them re-balanced after a trip to penticton. i went into the penticton store and had them balanced. when she asked me for 107 dollars i asked why, i said i bought them at fountain in langley. i thought i could get them redone at a diferent store. i guess not. intead of calling criss in langley they argued with me and said i need to pay . i will never go to fountain tire penticton again . i have a fair amount of influance in penticton i can share the word of this situation. when i worked for fountain tire the customer was allways right . i think times have changed
Response:
Hello John, I am extremely surprised to receive your email this morning. I dealt with this personally the very next day and sent the credit to the Langley store which they were suppose to give to you!! If this did not happen please call me asap. The reason for us billing you was because on your tire purchase at the Langley store there was no vehicle info on your invoice. Therefore we could not find the history in our computer. Chris did email the invoice number on the following business day, and at that time we did credit your entire purchase. Moving forward if you have not gotten your money back please call me asap and I can call the other store. But as far as we are aware, the other store gave your money back. Is this not correct?? Please acknowledge whether you got your money back or not?? regards, Scott
