Always fast they have most of the tire sizes you need used and New, their prices aren’t expensive, they will order any parts needed to get the job done. I have been working with them for years now.

I did wheel alignment. The job was done normally. My concern that they charge more. I paid $140 . While I paid $107 wheel alignment at Mavis tires for my other car just last week.

December 30, 2024

These dudes use underhanded tricks to get more money out of you. They charged me full price and only did half the alignment. Told me I needed to change something on my control arm and then to come back to get the rest of the alignment done. Had the part changed somewhere else because I didn’t wanna keep giving these leeches my money. When I went back they tried charging me full price for an alignment again, and told me that the “3 month warranty” was voided since I didn’t do the repair with them.

I am always coming this store . They do everything perfect . Whenever I have a problem with car tires, I bring staff and workplace cars here. Because they do their job very well, they care about the quality of the materials they use and customer satisfaction.

October 20, 2024

I brought in my Tesla with two tires that needed to be patched from the inside, I was charged around $40 per tire, and they didn't even balance the tires after they finished the work, so what should have cost me $40 total I paid $80 for, the other $40 is the price of knowing that these guys cannot be trusted with fair pricing, that they will try to take you for everything they can. Buyer beware. And make sure you get the price of work up front Don't let them start work without giving you a price. Always shop around and find the prices in nearby locations

I was able to walk in and get a whole bunch of work done the same day: I didn t have to make an appointment - They put brand new all season tires on my wagon for me, as well as took care of the lower control arms, and some steering linkage bushings that were smoked from all the salt here. They did a alignment on it as well. They had the work done in a reasonable amount of time and the price was decent for being a small shop. The price that we discussed was the price that I paid at the end. I ll take it back there again.

I put one star just for this review, I went today to do a wheel alignment, the guy said that he will fix it for 120$ i said ok After An hour Waiting for him (While him being on his phone for that entire hour) to start he just looked under the Car and he said i need to fix the arm control, i said ok you know what change me the rear tires of used ones He got me three tires just to change the first tire and they where worse than the one i have and guess what one of them had a hole in it and he tried to fix that hole and put it on my car I said nope I don t take this just you know what put my original tire back . When he finished he said ohhhhh i have to charge you 30$ service because i checked out your car and 10$ to check the tires for the guy who put it back Anyway , i ended up giving him $30 as a tip because they need it more than i do.

April 9, 2021

BECAREFUL this place is very shisty. The only put 1 quart of oil instead of full like they are suppose to and still charge you for complete oil change. They strip nuts and lugz so it will cost you more. For a community location they are not neighborly. They try and get over on people.

I been going here for years, even recommended my grandmother to start going there, but today was the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I was there for an hour and a half, just for someone to take less than five minutes to tell me they couldn t fix my car today. They took two other customers who came after me, before me. Could have been because they were Spanish I don t know. However, I was brushed off, ignored and one even turned his back on me after he was the one who had me sitting there for over an hour because he said he was going to look at my car. Anyway, never again and I will definitely not recommend them ever again.

Oil change was way to expensive. $45 for an oil change is ridiculous. They also have a false advertisement for an oil change for $24.99. I understand my vehicle had a different filter. But from 24.99 to 45 yeah no thanks. This isnt he first time they tried to pull a slick one. They tried doing that to my mom as well even tho her vehicle has a common filter. GUYS PLEASE JUST SAVE THE HEAD ACH AND KEEP GOING DOWN THE STREET TO RT 46 youll see a gulf there and theyll do an oil change and filter change for $20 bucks. I do not recommend this place for anyone. Definitely will be the first and last time Ill ever go here.
