Customer Reviews
Been a while since I’ve been I purchased used tires and he installed them very quickly and did the job right the tires were in very good condition and a good brand he was very kind I see lots of people complaining in the reviews that he won’t mount there tires they bought elsewhere almost very garage or tire shop I’ve been to will not change tires if they weren’t bought from them it’s very common so I don’t see how that gets them a bad review and most shops won’t because if something goes wrong with the installed tires they do not want to be at fault people saying he’s rude I was surprised how fast the tires were installed and it was done properly really helped me when I couldn’t afford a brand new set of tires and needed them right then
The work was fast enough but he was very unfriendly, when we asked for a receipt he didn't give us one and wouldn't tell us what he torqued the tires at. He threw our old tires out the garage and shut his door and charged us 40 dollars a tire.
Tom runs the best tire shop I've ever used. Four tires replaced, balanced, and installed on the truck in less than 45 minutes. All the while, we're talking about everything. Not to mention his prices, very competitive. Glad I found this place, I'll be back in spring for my all season tires.
Do NOT bring new tires here. He will not put them on. I was told I should have looked into it beforehand. Now that I have done my research I've learned the only reason he won't is GREED. Unless you buy thru him forget about it. Tires online are cheaper just go to pretty much any other garage nearby and they have no problem putting it on. This place was convenient the other few times I've been here in the past but no longer. You have lost my business and my respect. It would take you less then 15 minutes to make more then most people do in an hour just mounting two new tires. If mounting new tires is such an issue maybe just have a first time mounted tire fee for people bringing in new tires instead of making them feel stupid and turning them away.
I was told by a few people he was a great guy and very helpful. So I called on a Friday 15 minutes before he closed asked if he would mount and balance new tires I had and that I would pull them off the truck. And ask if I needed an appointment. He said he would mount and balance them and no appointment needed first come first served he told me. Showed up Saturday told him what I was there for. He said bring them right in. Unloaded my old tires and started unloading my new ones. He rolled 2 of my old tires and rims out the front door. And told me not to even bother unloading anymore tires. He told me he wanted me to load them right back up and get off his property. Because he will not mount any tire not bought though him. (Purchased them online) rolled the last two tires out the door and I
