I had an excellent experience working with the manager at Mavis Tire Jamie . They were knowledgeable, professional, and truly cared about providing great customer service. Everything was explained clearly, timelines were accurate, and the team was well-organized. It’s obvious this manager leads by example and takes pride in their work. I highly recommend this location because of their leadership

Got in my car to run errands and noticed my oil reminder popped up. I was throwing laundry in the wash across the street from Mavis (yes monro is right there but I haven't had the best time with them previously), so I decided to pop over and see if they had time to squeeze me in while my laundry was getting done. They didn't hesitate and got me right in. So grateful that they could make that happen for me. They had it done in time for the dryer to still have 2 minutes on it when I got back across the street. Very fast work, super impressive.

Stopped by to get an oil change and get a full look over on my car. The team looked at it and found out I needed rear brakes done super soon and they suggested I get new tires soon but that they weren't absolutley necessary today. When I was worried about the cost, the manager gave me an estimate and also explained to me the financing options they have. Super cool that they offer them, but I luckily enough had enough money on hand to get the brakes done immediately, thanks to the good price they had. Since I didnt need the tires quite yet, I'll be sure to come back for those when they need to be replaced. The manager made sure to tell the guys to do my brakes and they got it done faster than I anticipated. Very good teamwork. Keep up the energy.

Stopped to get prices on snow tires and ended up seeing a familiar face at the shop. Was very nice to see that the shop has good management coming in. Loved the prices I was quoted on tires. It's always nice to know that I can go somewhere that I trust to take care of my vehicles that has competitive prices.

Stopped by because my my tire pressure light came on and I wasn't sure why. The gentleman at the counter came out to talk to me and we noticed a nail in my tire. We went in and talked about tire prices so I can come back and get a new one in a few days once I get paid. He was super helpful and kind. I will definitely be back for that tire!
