I went in looking for an oil change with very little time to spare. Fast tire was able to get my car in, oil changed, and overlooked some of my concerns within an hour or less. Very fairly priced oil change, very knowledgeable and friendly staff, I highly recommend

Saved me this morning, on my way to work noticed I had a screw in my tire. They patched me and I was back on the road in 15/20 minutes. What could have been a stressful day turned into peace of mind. Thank you! I will be recommending you to everyone

Ignorant and incompetent employee that tests your emissions! After a recent routine emissions test, i received my " pass" paperwork by the usual tech, and i inquired as to why the mileage wasn't properly filled out( they wrote 1,000 mileage) the employee said the normally do, but didn't because he wasn't looking at the display. I said ,oh. He then quickly followed by telling me " i could have just failed you for your dcl connector hanging down, but i didn't and this is a government rule". Me: "so you are trying tell me you did me a favor" Him: yeah, thats right, i didn't even have to test your car...the employee neglected to fill out the paperwork, gets this nicely pointed out, then gets defensive and talks condescending towards me. Little does he know i happen to be a 30 year senior ase master tech. I bring my tests to them because they are registered with the state and do get reimbursement from the state for the service. This supposed tech has a rotten attitude towards customers, and my review is a warning to the general public to not take this guys advice especially if he then trys charging for a supposed reair( loose screw in this case). I have never treated my clients with disrespect, and proudly go out of my way to even run the cars over for a passing test, and i dont need disrespect for simply pointing out a mistake on the paperwork.
