I had a great experience at Mavis Discount Tire! The staff was very helpful and friendly from start to finish. I came in for an oil change and tire rotation, and they took care of everything quickly and professionally. It’s nice to go somewhere where the team is polite, knowledgeable, and really takes the time to make sure you’re taken care of. I’ll definitely be coming back for future services—highly recommend!

Came in distraught on a Sunday. Mavis got my back. Everybody calmed me right down. They offered me options that were CHEAPER than EVERYWHERE I quoted. And Tyler really seriously you are an asset. He was able to talk to me in terms I can understand. He Re-explained everything got my tire done and I was on my way. Lol (U get me) I'm so thankful... and I am hard to please. And it smelled good in there. 10 out of 10 would recommend and I'm sending everybody up there.

I purchased a set of new tires and thought I would go here to get them installed, balanced, and get an alignment done. I was told over the phone that these services would cost about $120 when I called a few days before coming in which would have been an amazing value. When I got there, I was then told it would be $290 and it would take an hour. I was waiting for more than 2 hours and they also snapped one of the wheel studs and did not return the lug nut. Incompetence.
