Picked up a nail in my rear tire yesturday so time to get some new ones. Good time for me to get the tires I really want Pilot Sports.
So I call around this morning. DMT is closed, Fay well need I say more, and Coyote. Phone call goes like this.
Me: I need Pilot Sports 180/55/17 rear and 120/70/17 front. Do you have those.
Coyote: Yea no problem.
Me: What do you guys run?
Coyote: I can get you the set for $290 mounted and balanced done deal.
Me: ok great thanks.
So I get ahold of my brother cuz I'm working and he agrees to run my bike down there for me.
He gets down there calls me and says:
They wanna put an h2 on the rear. So I'm like well why do they wanna do that? Here talk to the guy.
Me: Why do you wanna put an h2 on the rear?
Coyote: Well I got deal for the h2 rears and so I'll put it on with a sport front.
Me: Well I like the pilot sports tread block for rain and the h2 is pretty slick in the rain.
Coyote: Oh no the h2 has a good compound and tread pattern and does pretty well in the rain. (lots of up talking and why I should go with the h2)
Me: no thanks I'll just stick with the pilot sports front and rear.
Coyote: Oh well I dont have the rear in stock that's why I'm offering the h2.
Me: Why did you tell me you had them in stock on the phone earlier?
Coyote: Oh I wasn't thinking. I've been selling them this way for 9 sets now and didn't think about it.
Ok I start getting mad here because I was now told they have something which they don't. I've got my little bro runing around for me and I need a rear.
Me: FINE put it on.
Coyote: Ok and btw that's gonna come to $313
Me: Hold the fuckin phone. You tell me you have tires you dont, Your putting on a tire I dont want, And now your going to charge me more to do it. No way.
So we go back and forth through my brother who is now caught in the middle and getting pissed. These people have wasted his time and mine. I've got to get it done so we agree to $303. I should have just had my bro walk But I need the tire and I didn't want to completely waste his time for nothing.
Coyote pulled a serious bait and switch. In my opnion thats seriously bad business for a shop that just opened. I guess that's why they're called coyote. Not to mention I just got home and looked at them and it's a 2000 h2. A 3 year old tire!!! This conduct of business is very shady and extreemly unprofessional!
I will not go back to that shop and will advise all I know to do the same. The business they practice is foul and I hope their shop closes just as fast as it was opened.
Coyote Motorsports I salute you.
