I PURCHASED A CAR FORM ZETZ AUTO 34 DAYS AGO. I RETURNED THE 1994 CHEVY BLAZER FOR REPAIR DUE TO THE BRAKES GOING OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE REPAIR SHOP ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COMPANY MADE THE REPAIRS. I ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FRONT END FRAME MAKING A CRACKING SOUND WITH EVERY TURN AND WHILE DRIVING. THE REPAIR SHOP STATING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. TODAY, 3/21/08 I DELIVERED THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP FOR A SAFETY INSPECTION. I CALLED TO CONFIRM THE REPAIR. THE OWNER STATED OVER THE PHONE IT WAS THE TIRES, THEY ARE TOO BIG FOR THE VEHICLE. I STATED THESE ARE THE SAME NEW TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAR.
