Avoid This Auto Repair Nightmare!
"Title: Avoid This Auto Repair Nightmare!
I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with NTB Tire and Auto Airpark in Gaithersburg, Md.and I cannot emphasize enough how terrible my experience was. I give them zero stars.
First and foremost, the customer service at this place is abysmal. There is none. From the moment I contacted them, I was met with indifference and condescension from the staff. They seemed annoyed by me and appeared to be more interested in not having to make things right, and casting the business in a positive light, than helping customers. It was clear that they had no interest in providing a positive customer experience.
I brought my vehicle in for what I thought was a simple tire replacement, but it has turned into never-ending aggravation. The real nightmare began when I made an appointment to have a flat tire replaced, scheduled for July 30, 2023. I checked their website and it indicated that they were open on Sundays. I made an appointment on their website and received a written confirmation of that appointment. The day before I received a second confirmation confirming my Sunday appointment. On Sunday I took off from work, hired a towing company to get my car to the service location, starting at about 9am. When we arrived at the towing location, the business was closed, even though their website said they should open and I had 2 written confirmations. I I had the towing company take my car to another tire business where the tire was eventually replaced. Not only did I lose wages from work, but the towing cost me hundreds of dollars. My day finally ended at approx. 5pm.I brought my vehicle in for what I thought was a simple tire replacement, but it has turned into never-ending aggravation.

But the worst part is the indifference of the company (i.e. General Manager), telling me that appointments made online are not real appointments and don’t really count. That they are not open on Sundays and had no obligation to be there.
To make matters worse, when I tried to reach out to NTB to discuss my concerns and request a refund of my towing, they were completely unresponsive. I called 3 times. They asked my name and then I was told no one would be available to speak to me. I had to go there in person 3 times and was told by the general manager that they were not going to do anything and I was basically out of luck. I was also told that I was contacted by the district manager and the case was closed. I was never contacted by anyone. It's clear that they have no interest in customer satisfaction or taking responsibility for their mistakes.
In summary, I strongly advise anyone considering using NTB Tire and Battery Airpark in Gaithersburg, Md. to run in the opposite direction. Their terrible customer service, dishonest and disreputable business practices, uncaring attitude, and lack of accountability make them a complete disaster of an auto repair business. Save yourself the headache and find a reputable and honest repair shop elsewhere."
