Stopped in on a Friday afternoon with no appointment, and they fixed my punctured tire inside a half an hour, and at no charge! Staff was friendly too. Will definitely come back for future work.

Needed an urgent pre-purchase car inspection. They squeezed me in within a couple hours, got me out of there in just under an hour, then when I went to pay told me it was free. The store manager, Matt, was extremely nice and patient explaining everything to me.
Amazing! They definitely got themselves a new customer.

I arrived without an appointment and with a screw puncturing a tire; I left with the screw removed and the appointment offered in a matter of minutes. It was fast and professional and cheap and I really appreciated Mavis for the lifesaver on a snowy day!

Unfortunately, not a great experience for a wheel alignment. I came on time for my appt, waited 1.5 hrs before they pulled my car into the garage, they did 10 minutes of work aligning my tires and syncing my TPMS and then charged me $160.
I'm giving 3 stars instead of less because I knew going in that their tire alignment was a flat price. But 10 minutes for $160 seems a bit excessive.
I can't speak to their other work, but it might be worth exploring other places for wheel alignments.
