AVOID THIS DEALERSHIP AT ALL COSTS - Alderman Death Trap
I purchased a used ATS from Alderman. 2 days later, while driving to airport at 5am, the low tire pressure warning light turns on (front driver-side). I pulled into nearest gas station, inspected, and put air into tire. Everything was fine... until 2 days later when low tire pressure warning light came on again. This time it was the front passenger side. I took the car back to Alderman (still under 30 day warranty) and they decide to rotate the tires after inspecting. Swapping the rears to the front, figuring the run flats were affected by the weight of the front end, even though the same tires were on all 4 wheels. Makes sense right??? NO. This corrected the problem for about 2 weeks, until I went out to start the car before work and notice all 4 tires were now completely flat and conveniently out of the 30 day used car warranty window. I put air in tires in driveway and they held...for another 2 weeks, until I went out to my leave work one day and noticed all 4 tires were complete flat again. I had AAA come and blow them up for me and drive home. Finally, I got sick of the useless "run-flat" tires, and went to Town Fair tire to have tires installed that actually stay inflated. While tires were being replaced the service manager of Town Fair Tire informed me that they cannot by law replace my tires because 3 out of the 4 wheels had cracks in them from prior welding jobs. I called up Alderman and they gave me the run around, because they already got their money from me, and wanted nothing to do with me. While my car was sitting at Town Fair Tire, because it was no longer deemed road worthy, I took a ride to a local GM dealer to show them the wheels. They informed me that the wheels on my car were not the correct wheels for my car, and they had in fact been welded to fix previous cracks and that's what they wouldn't seal to hold air in. Bottom line- Alderman Cadillac is a swindler and sold me a death trap. AVOID THIS DEALERSHIP
