- SRSandy Reamer1 day ago5.0Excellent honest business. We got a set of new tires this summer and very happy with their service. They did have drop off service which was a huge plus for my situation. I went back this week to have some wheel studs replaced as well as tires rotated and they were quick and I’m confident in their repairs. I was also thankful for the texting system they use so I knew when my vehicle went into the shop as well as when it was completed. So far they are the best tire place we’ve been too! Highly recommend
- BCBrett ChristieNov 17, 20251.0Had a 12pm appointment, it took them 2 hours to get started on the inspection before the alignment. Didn’t get done until 2:25pm If you value your time look elsewhere.
- JFJosh FehlbergNov 6, 20255.0Great price, fast service and correct. Explained everything to me that needed to be done and fixed what they could do for me as far as my budget at the time. Thanks
- TTTaraNov 4, 20251.0Sray away! Terrible customer service! I went in for an alignment and tire balance and was quoted a price... they called back saying they couldn't do it because of a tie rod issue... but proceed to do the tire balance and charge me for the alignment inspection (that was never mentioned) Then declined my debit card twice, when it worked the moment I left at the gas station across the street. He was disgustingly rude too.
- CLCraig LepkowskiNov 1, 20255.0I got a wheel alignment. The price was lower than anyone around. Everyone at the shop was very professional. The car runs great now. Will go back when additional repairs are needed.
