Ordered snow tires. Was told to be here at 1pm three days later. The day before they confirmed they had the tires and the appointment was good. Showed up, tire order was cancled, no one told me, they offered all-seasons instead. Waste of time, terrible customer service.

Greg was extremely professional and respectful. He truly went above and beyond to help me. I actually walked in without an appointment, and he still took the time to assist me without hesitation. I genuinely appreciate his help . He made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Greg is fantastic at what he does, and I highly recommend him!!! Thanks again i will definitely pick this place again

Avoid this place like the plague. Had an appt at 8:30 to get my tires replaced, new battery, and alignment. When I say this was the worse experience I’ve ever had with an auto shop, that is an understatement. These people had NO IDEA what they were doing. I had to chat GPT how to fix the problem and the tech looked at me and said it was wrong while basically dismissing me. Less than 2 minutes later he had to admit he was wrong and I was right. Now I’m driving around Salem trying to find someone to fix the problem they created. I was there for more than FIVE hours for something that should have taken 2 hours. I had to pay 100 dollars to get the OBD11 machine to register the battery. I’m really worried the person just screwed up the whole thing.

They did my rear brakes, and everything seemed fine until we started to hear a grinding noise from the rear of vehicle. Took the car back and the looked at the breaks again and changed the front pads and had them cleaned and adjusted. The car was still making the noise went back again to have them looked at while getting an oil change. They probably did not even bother to look as they same sound was there, and they never mentioned on the invoice. Took the car to 2 different places both said same thing aftermarket rotors. When I contacted corporate, they did not even bother to respond

I had a great experience at Mavin Tires and Brakes in Salem, NH. The staff was honest, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly without any pressure. The service was excellent, fairly priced, and I felt confident my car was in good hands. It’s hard to find a shop you can truly trust, and this is definitely one of them. I highly recommend Mavin Tires and Brakes for anyone looking for reliable and excellent service.
