Horrible service, I requested a tire rotation and they broke one of my hubcaps. They didn’t even bother to -at the very least- inform me or offer any form of compensation. They just threw it in the back of my car and still had the audacity to charge me for that rotation. These people can’t do the most basic of maintenance and have zero transparency, don’t trust them with anything. Thanks for costing me another set of hubcaps!

Eric, Fred, and James/Jimmy are the BEST! They took great care of our car that needed maintenance. I will absolutely drive out of my way to come to this location in the future, when I need other maintenance. Very personable, thorough, and fair.

Eric and Fred were very helpful when what was needed for my car. I needed to buy four brand new tires and had to get an alignment and they helped me out immensely throughout the process. As someone who’s very spending-money-averse, they calmed my nerves immensely and helped me get the bargain I could without breaking my bank! As long as I live in Columbia, I will only be getting my tires changed here!
