I stopped in because my spare tire wasn’t mounted on the back of my Jeep and I physically couldn’t lift it myself. I had also been told I might need a conversion kit, so I wasn’t even sure if it could be installed.
The guys there immediately took care of it for me, checked everything, and put the spare on without any problem and as it turns out I didn’t even need the kit. They were so kind, professional, and helpful the entire time. What really stood out was that they didn’t charge me anything even when I offered to pay them. They just helped me because they could. That kind of honesty and customer service is rare. Huge thank you to Matt and the rest of the team. I would recommend these guys to anyone that needs tire work

I have been a repeating customer with Mavis, they have taken care of mine and my families vehicles since they opened the doors on 127 on Hickory. They have always treated us fairly. Today Nat, was very generous to address my issue swiftly, professionally, and speak on other needs I have to address. Thank you Mavis for keeping our vehicles safe and reliable all this time.
