I first brought my 2015 sienna in the spring for a tire rotation. They checked my shocks and said bring it back in the fall as there was some life left in them at that point. They checked my wife’s Prius a 2013 and was told not yet on shocks but needed air filter and wiper blades. Next day brought my sienna in for recheck. It needed struts and shocks plus air filter. The honesty of your staff and professionalism is remarkable. You have a longtime customer now. Thank you. John Husby, St. John’s, Mi.

Budget tire in St John's is awesome. I always buy my tires here because of value and quality. There's also quite a few choices. But when I have a problem with a tire that I didn't even buy here, I still get my repairs done here. Recently, they didn't even charge me for a repair on a tire they didn't sell me. I will always come here.
