CTV reported about the closure of a Thornhill tire business that shut its doors, with many of its customer’s tires and rims stored inside. <\/p>\n

Dozens of customers are without their tires and rims after a tire shop in Thornhill went out of business. <\/p>\n

CTV News Toronto reported earlier this month<\/a> that Tire Depot and Auto Services suddenly shuttered its doors, with several customers saying their summer tires were locked inside.<\/p>\n

The tire shop, located at 34 Doncaster Ave., had been in business for more than 20 years before an \u2018Out of Business\u2019 sign was put on their door. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been around forever, you store your tires in the winter and pick them up in the summer and showing up today, they are out of business,\u201d Terry Riyasat, a customer, had previously told CTV News. <\/p>\n

This week, York Regional Police and security had to control traffic outside of the shop as customers lined up in hopes of recovering their tires and rims. As many as two-thirds of those items may be missing, meaning some customers will be left on the hook to pay for replacements.<\/p>\n

\"\"The bailiff overseeing the case told CTV News about 70 customers showed up to the store hoping to get their tires and rims, but only one third of customers were able to pick them up. The rest remain missing.

\u201cPeople were quite angry, especially if they were told their tires weren\u2019t there and some people were incredulous that this could happen,\u201d Elliot Goldstein told CTV News. <\/p>\n

Goldstein, who works as a lawyer, has three sets of tires in the shop for him and his family. He said he waited for hours to see if he could get them back.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did get back one set of tires, the other two sets are missing and no one seems to know where they are,\u201d Goldstein said.<\/p>\n

Betty Niznik, of Thornhill, also had her tires and rims stored at Tire Depot and Auto Services. She also didn\u2019t get them back. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis just came out of nowhere and I\u2019m very upset at this point in time,\u201d said Niznik. \u201cMy tires are on the original rims, which are going to be quite a bit of money to replace.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the bailiff overseeing the case, about 70 customers showed up to the store hoping to get their tires and rims back, but only a third had them returned. <\/p>\n

Many of the tires were stored offsite, but it is unclear where. The landlord is still trying to contact the former owner of the business, and some customers are concerned their property may have been sold.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf people hear about great deals on tires, be very careful because if you buy tires that are stolen, you\u2019re in possession of stolen property,\u201d Goldstein said. <\/p>\n

Those impacted by what happened have been advised to file a police report. Some customers say they are reaching out to their insurance company to see if they are covered. <\/p>\n

Niznik and Goldstein say they are staying hopeful their tires and rims could be found, though the loss comes at a time when many drivers are swapping out their winter tires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CTV reported about the closure of a Thornhill tire business that shut its doors, with many of its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":614399,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[712,45,49,48],"class_list":["post-627867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-apple-news","tag-business","tag-ca","tag-canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=627867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/614399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=627867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=627867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=627867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
