This is hands down the worst tire shop I’ve ever dealt with. I don’t know how they’re still in business. From the moment I walked in, it was a disaster. The employees looked annoyed that a customer even showed up. Zero professionalism, zero knowledge, and zero effort.
They took forever to do a simple job, and somehow still managed to screw it up. They put USED, uneven tires on my car and pretended everything was “fine.” As soon as I drove off, my steering wheel was shaking like crazy. I came back, and instead of fixing their mistake, they gave me attitude and tried to blame me for their incompetence.
The level of carelessness is unbelievable. Tools left loose, tires not balanced correctly, car handed back dirty, and no one taking responsibility. It felt like they have never worked on a car before in their life.
Save yourself the headache and stay far away from this place. I wouldn’t trust them to put air in a bicycle tire, let alone touch my car again. Complete joke of a business.

They looked at us as if we killed their wifes, could not balance a tire and when we asked to show them the issue ourself they make up some dumb reason just to keep sitting around instead of actually trying to fix the issue
Its amazing you should have been there

I started coming to this location in February for the simple task of getting new tires, and they have been taking care of me ever since. All the employees are wonderfully knowledgeable about what needs done, and the turnaroud time and pricing is phenomenal. The staff has gone above and beyond time and time again for me, and not only do I keep coming back, I recommend this shop to anyone looking for repairs.

I had an amazing experience at Mavis Tires getting my oil changed and having my car checked out. The staff was super friendly, professional, and quick. They explained everything clearly and didn’t try to upsell me on things I didn’t need, which I really appreciated. My car feels like it’s running smoother than ever, and the whole process was fast and stress-free.

I brought my car in for a flat tire. They were able to not only patch the tire, but ordered two new tires and scheduled my install quickly and at a fair price. Two days later my check engine light came on and they were able to see me the same day. The team is attentive, fair and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend enough.
