University Tire and Auto Centers - Forest Lakes

I came to this shop around 9/25/2025 to get new tires put on and a frontend alinment, do to my old tire tread wearing uneven. It's now 2/10/26 and my tires are wearing uneven the same way. I ask if they would flip the tires around and do a front end alinment again, they said no that would be mounting used tires and that there alinment machine is broke. They recommend at shop near by and I ask if they where going to cover they alinment and they said no, anything could have happened in that time. So now im out 2 new tire and a alinment. That a lot of money for me so I'm definitely going to avoid this place in the future.

Victor at University Tire is an angel on earth! I was driving from NC to MD with a packed car because I was moving home. I got a flat tire. My spare was not accessible because my car was packed so full. Victor immediately said he’d send a tow truck to pick me up. But unfortunately, he had to order my replacement tire. So I had to spend the night. But not to worry! He would keep my car safe overnight AND drive me to a local hotel for the night! The hotel was walking distance to great restaurants. Within an hour, I was in a clean safe hotel room and soon eating a fabulous dinner at a great restaurant. I know I could feel awful at the unexpected stop in my trip. But instead, I felt blessed to have called Victor! He took care of me and my car with such care & professionalism. I felt

I brought my car in for an oil change and wanted to use their advertised shuttle service so I can go to work. The front desk person suggested staying as they were slow that morning and should only take 45min. They finished just over an hour and they suggested replacing the engine air filter. They said it take should take no time at all as they just have to order the part nearby. 45 minutes later the part still hasn't arrived so I've decided to forego the filter so I can get to work. Naturally the part arrived as I paid and was about to leave. After getting into my car, the courtesy sticker was on the floor and had no adhesive on it. They also recommended the next oil change to be in 3000 miles, which seems too frequent for full synthetic oil. They also didn't reset the maintenance indicato
