Did a phenomenal job! Great group of guys working and since they are open later on Thursdays I was able to get my tire repaired after work without any stress! They are able to do work on Teslas as well btw, so don’t hesitate to come here for a patched Tesla tire if needed.

Got a flat tire late evening getting off the interstate and had it towed to Mavis Tire on Bluff Road, they replaced my old tire with a new one quickly, did a great job and provided me with great customer service.

I got my oil changed and my shocks and struts fixed, despite my car being old and having some rusted parts they were diligent and very informative throughout the whole process. This will be my shop going forward. I highly recommend their services and great welcoming customer service.

I needed a new rotary and brake pad for my jeep and was a little skeptical of going into a different tire shop than my usual. The moment I walked in I was greeted by everyone. From the sweet lady at the front desk, to all the fast-paced hard-working mechanics, this was a pleasurable experience from beginning to end. This type of service has to come with a high price right? Nope! They actually worked with me on the price and I paid nowhere near what I expected! Money left over for early Christmas shopping lol. Safe to say I have a new official tire shop and I'd happily recommend this location to everyone. Peace and blessings

Gave me an inaccurate quote. Ended up charging me 200 dollars more than the original quote.
work took 4 hours to replace 4 tires.
I watched them scam a college kid. They patched his tire for who knows how much when he just had a screw stuck in there. They then did an inspection on his vehicle and gave him a bunch of things they convinced him he needed to repair. He even told them he doesn't have any money but they kept pushing.
I had a different mechanic look at my car but they quoted me a lot for tires so I came to Mavis. Mavis gave my car an inspection, just like the college kid and told me a bunch of stuff that my trusted mechanic never mentioned to me.
Its safe to say this business gets you to come in with a cheap quote, then will do an inspection and find all this stuff and try to scare you and tell you your car needs work immediately. Then they will change your quote. I even confirmed with them my original quote was after tax.
I would just find a mechanic you trust and pay them the extra money for the peace of mind.
