Bought tires from here almost two years ago they wore out quicker than the warranty said. I called Mavis they told me they most likely would give me 30% off of new tires so I make appointment. The day of my appointment I go and they tell me they can only give me 13% off my new tires. They said guy didn't know what he was talking about over the phone. 13% is nothing when the tires say certain amount of miles warranty. They wanted to charge me $344 off the cheapest tires with the supposed discount. Then try to say they wore fast because I didn't rotate my tires and try to say I never asked for that not for nothing I'm not the mechanic here and they didn't ask me about it especially when they offer it for free how do I know ur supposed to rotate tires when u purchase new ones. Especially since I went back after buying my front ones I bought my back ones a year ago and they never told me either time to rotate them. I left and got my tires else where a lot cheaper. They definitely lost my business for the future.

Outstanding experience at Mavis Discount Tire South Plainfield. (As always!)
Their pricing is hard to beat, especially if you check online and use their price-match tool. What really sets Mavis apart, though, is convenience. Unlike Costco, you don’t have to wait a week for tires to come in, and there’s no headache if you ever need to use the road hazard warranty. No delays, no waiting for shipments, no rescheduling appointments—same-day service, no nonsense.
If you value fair pricing, fast turnaround, and a smooth, stress-free experience, this location is absolutely the way to go. Highly recommended and I have been coming since they MERGED WITH STS well over 27 years! Thank you!!

I got my alignment done at Mavis and had a great experience.
Dionel at the front desk was friendly, professional, and made the whole process easy and quick. shoutout to Bryan for talking and making the process easier and Presley, the mechanic who did the alignment-they were knowledgeable and did solid work. The car drives much better now. Definitely recommend this location.

I went to this shop to fix a simple puncture on a loose tire, and honestly, the whole experience was disappointing. They took nearly 30–45 minutes just to look at the tire, and when they finally patched it up, they clearly didn’t check it properly. The very next day, the tire was flat again.
I went back to get it fixed, and instead of helping, they basically blamed me—saying I must’ve driven on it and caused another puncture. The truth is, I only put the tire back on and didn’t even drive anywhere. They still refused to fix it again and acted like it was my fault.
Overall, the service felt careless and unprofessional, and I left feeling frustrated. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. Avoid the headache.

I can’t say enough good things about Dionell and Hakim! My partner and I both needed tires, and I also unexpectedly needed brakes and rotors, which was stressful and unplanned. We had just moved to the area and didn’t know where to go, but they were patient, honest, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. They explained everything clearly, worked quickly, and truly did everything they could to help us. We’ll absolutely be coming back here for all our car needs. Highly recommend!
