    DO NOT get your tires from here or trust the store manager James Mack!! Got my tires from here with warranty! In October I was able to come & get my tire replaced for free because a nail got in it, went back the following MONTH to get my other tire replaced that’s under warranty also do to a nail as they are working on houses in my neighborhood .. and encountered Mr Mack. Not only did he say he wouldn’t replace my other tire free that’s under warranty like the last associate, but I had to pay for a dang near whole new tire with “slight” discount. THEN WHATS THE POINT OF THE WARRANTY!!! When purchasing the warranty with the tires I was told as long as I have the original tire on my car it would be replaced at no cost!!! My tires just hit a year old. Mr Mack said it was because my tires were almost bald but how? When I just got the same tire on the other side replaced the month before & the associate said my tires still looked great!!! How did they go bald within a month? Not only that, after I left my car with him, he called and tried to charge me MORE for the replacement tire!!! Pure scam artist!!! As a “leader” and a store manager, the fact that you’re dishonest & unhonorable!! Not sure if his store is down in sales as I am too a store manager and he wants to overcharge and finesse customers or if he just truly isn’t a honest man, or if it was because I’m a woman & he thought he could get over. DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE!

    K C was GREAT ! She kept it 100 with me and let me know what all needed to be done to maintain the car and hooked me up on some oil knowledge that saved me 30 extra bucks ! Only place I've ever come. Love when I get her every time. 🤙🫡

    I came to this location with a car emergency and they were very willing to assist! They diagnosed the problem and they were able to fix it the immediately! KC was so friendly and the owner James and the team did a great job on repairing my vehicle. I would definitely recommend them!

    Came out to check on my coworkers car after servicing it because it wouldnt start. Coworker and I tried jumping it after the manager suggested getting a new battery and seeing if that fixes the issue. Lots of head scratching and shrugging. Coworker figured out the air vent wasnt properly replaced, and that was what caused the entire issue. Two stars because the manager promised a free oil change and rotation as an apology.
