  • I am a previous owner of Big O Tires and i would never go with big o again, the way they are doing business is a lie ,the sales they are doing is not honest sales buy 2 get 2 free.because they make you to bay for twice as much alignment and road hazard,

    same thing buy 3 get one free.

    The area managers instead to look for accounts for the franchise, he is selling for TBC the franchise tires for a high price compare to other suppliers and killing your business. In the same time the area manager is to work for franchise,because the franchise is paying the salary. the company doesn't help you with anything except looking for royalty fee

    It's no surprise that the prices in the corporate own stores are ridiculous high, they do everything to make the money, if not they are fired. If once in a blue moon a corporate person comes to your store they suggest prices which will put you out of business.

    I feel sorry for people who invest money in Big O Tires. This is not a surprise a lot of franchise living the CO. The worst of the worst.
