I’ve taken multiple cars here and they always go above and beyond. Chris helped me on my latest visit. He took the time to explain what my car needed vs what could wait and the dos and don’ts of tire care. This location will always be my first stop for car maintenance and repair. Thanks again Chris!

Had an extremely slow leak coming from my front driver side tire. Brought it in to locate the leak and get it patched if possible. A little nervous because I'm always told tire places try to upsell and charge more than local mom and pop shops.
I shouldn't have worried. I did make an appointment and was seen promptly. They brought my car back and told me they'd look at it. They're waiting room is very clean and comfortable. A lot of space. They also have a television and clean, handicapped accessible bathrooms for both men and women.
They were able to successfully patch the tire. In addition, they also filled up the other tires, making sure everything was in alignment . I was shocked and very thankful. Considering the rising costs of everything nowadays every dollar I can save is a blessing. I will definitely be coming back for any future car issues. ☺️
