Customer Reviews
Went in for flat repair. They removed the tire from the wheel to point out a brad nail that was in just the perfect position to not be able to repair. The other huge nail dead center would have been an easy repair. But the brad nail was still sticking out from the outside. You didn't need to remove the tire to see it. So, easy to tell the customer, hey- we might not be able to repair because of this. But no, they took the tire off of the wheel to make sure that I would buy a replacement. I told them to put the tire on and 20 minutes later, they still hadn't put it back on. The price for the replacement was more than the local car dealer. That should tell you something. The tire was also not available, so I had to wait a day. Before you get a flat repair, check the location to see
DO NOT GO HERE THEY WILL SCAM YOU Me and my boyfriend were in the middle of a 12 hour drive and got a flat. We brought it here hoping for a quick fix. Instead they lied and said the tread on my brand new tires was too low, and that we should buy new tires. We asked to see the tread and it was way higher than the first employee said. The second employee we talked to claimed that the hole was too big to fix, and that because it's a Subaru it can't be fixed? And he tried to sell us 4 tires for $900. They took so long to do any service so we couldn't make it to any other tire shops before they closed. We ended up driving 5 hours on a spare to our hometown tire shop that fixed it no problem. I do not recommend this place. They will try to scam you if you look young and desperate.
I was let down by this place. I had my hopes up due to the positive reviews, but alas we are here. I called them and asked if they could put new tires in front that I had with me purchased from Amazon. I also asked to put a front tire in the back because the tread was fine. They gave me a decent quote over the phone, and made sure I arrived at the time they requested. Upon arrival, I was told they could not do this for me. That they could only put new tires in the rear. They even tried to give me a disclosure form of why they could not do this service for me. Not cool. I wish I could give no stars. What a waste of my time.
Definitely my go-to spot for all things tires and brakes. Been going here for 6 years, both my and my wife's cars, and never had anything but excellent service. Recommended!
Very friendly and efficient. Diagnosed the problem and explained it well. Gave me a fair estimate. Since I was from out of town and it wasn’t an emergency I couldn’t proceed. But if I lived locally I surely would have!
