So terrible. They said they would do things and didn’t do them. They did things obviously wrong, more than once. The tires weren’t even that cheap, I went here because they have good ratings and I assumed that they’d do a good job but the opposite was true. It took over 24 hours just to put two tires on. I had an appointment, they said it’d take about an hour. Turned out I might’ve not even needed new tires, the alignment they did a few months ago was done incorrectly. Then they put the tires on in obviously the wrong spots. Worst tread on the back of a rwd truck and new tires on front. I waited for them to finish, left and then had to come back immediately because they clearly did the alignment incorrectly AGAIN. The steering wheel was crooked and the truck pulled heavy to the right. I’ll still have to pay for another alignment somewhere else because at this point, I have no faith that they won’t do something incorrectly and cause problems with my vehicle. I made a huge mistake in coming here. It was a waste of my time and money.

I can't say enough good things about this tire shop. I have been here two times and each time, received top of the line vehicle service and treated with warmth and courteousness. The pricing is very reasonable, the mechanics are highly knowledgeable and genuinely seek to get the you the best value for your dollar. The waiting area has a pleasant ambiance and offers a free built in laptop work area and complementary wifi. The first time that I visited the shop, I had a flat tire, which I was sure would need to be replaced. The staff at Mavis fixed it for me free of charge in thirty minutes flat, saving me hundreds of dollars. If you are seeking a car shop with integrity and quality, this is the place to go.
