2007-08-16T21:47:00.000-07:00

If you're looking for an exciting career with Firestone Complete Auto Care, please reconsider...There is nothing exciting about selling tires, service, and fixing cars.

There's no incentive working as sales, you get paid a flat hourly, no comission for the stuff you sale. You get a bonus only if the store hits goal, for that you my as well be a store manager.

The mechanics get screwed you get paid flag hours, for the work you complete guarantee 30hrs a week, for working 60 hrs. Which is a big rifoff.

more to come, about the experience of trained mechanics

Firestone Recalls

2007-08-13T21:13:00.000-07:00

Manufacturer recalling 6.5M Ford Explorer tires cited in fatal accidents
Recall covers sizes P235/75R15 in all the ATX, ATXII and some Wilderness AT tires that are currently in use on some of the nation's most popular SUVs. An estimated 60-to-70 percent of the recalled tires are on the Explorer and its twin Mercury Mountaineer models.

The recall is the second largest in U.S. history, trailing only a recall of 14.5 million tires by Firestone in 1978. That recall nearly put the company into bankruptcy and led to the subsequent purchase by Japan's Bridgestone Corp. in 1990. Company officials would not estimate the cost of the latest recall, but admitted it would be "substantial."

NHTSA officials stated that the agency continues to investigate the accidents that have been linked to the tire failure, and that Bridgestone has been cooperating with the agency. Costing the company over $500 million in loses and there reputation as being reliable and safe.
