Kinda disappointed when I went there few weeks ago to get my control arm fixed. I was told I wasn’t supposed to hear any cluck noises but I still hear them. Yet they told me that day they don’t have the person to do the wheel alignment RIGHT AFTER they replaced my right passenger side control arm. Wish that guy would have told me this BEFORE they started that process. I hate it when things aren’t fully done for my car.

1598 State st- I recently purchased a tire from Mavis. Shortly after my purchase I noticed a slow leak. When I brought it in on a busy Sunday, Hunter who is the store manager greeted me, was friendly, and quick to find a remedy. Once he discovered it was a small hole in the side wall he had one of the employees go a pick up my tire from another store since they did not have my exact tire in stock. They had it quickly installed, and for no cost! Hunter and the staff were polite, respectful and helped me out immensely.
