Mavis Tires at 1609 Fairlane Dr in West Columbia, I will definitely be returning to this location mainly due to the high level of professionalism and customer service provided by Victor!
About 6 weeks ago I came to the shop on a Sunday with a friend of mine from church who was driving on a spare tire that was shredded and very unsafe; she did not have the full size tire/rim with her. I had her follow me to Mavis. Although Mavis did not have a rim for sale, Victor allowed us to leave the car on their property long enough to go to a salvage yard and get another spare.
Upon return to Mavis, Victor immediately went to work to switch out the spare tire and ended having to switch the new spare onto the old rim. Victor was very helpful and accommodating to ensure my friend had a safe way to transport her family home. Thank you Victor!

This is a few days overdue. But it's because I needed another service done to my car today. And just like the first time, they didn't disappoint. I usually do things on my own, but an axel is not something I would mess with. After getting a tire balance rotation+oil change Derek did just as he said he would, a full inspection for each concern and then some. Full communication between employees while offering their opinions without the extra push that people know is just a way some mechanics scam women. And thanks to the very fast and efficient work. Derek understands while meeting you halfway on a light wallet and giving me my valid list of "fix it now"s, I'll be paying another visit to continue fixing my 2002. Thanks to the gentleman and Derek for exceptional customer service.

Austin and Michael did an amazing job with my car and were so quick and helpful with my tire situation. Not to mention the entire team was so kind to my family during the entire process. 10/10 go with the well known name and knowledgeable team at this Mavis! Worth every penny to know it’s done right the first time.

I had an amazing experience at Mavis Tires in West Columbia thanks to Que! From the moment I arrived, Que was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. He explained everything clearly, gave honest recommendations, and made the whole process quick and stress-free. It’s rare to find customer service this good anymore. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending Que and the Mavis team to everyone I know!

0 stars if that were possible.
On October 28, 2025, I paid nearly $1,200 for four “brand new” tires at this Mavis location. Less than 10 minutes after leaving, my rear driver’s side tire had dropped to 7 PSI. I refilled it to drive back, but the store had already closed for the day. The next morning, the tire was completely flat.
Fortunately, my stepfather suspected something was off and took my vehicle back to Mavis. What we found was absolutely unacceptable:
• The “new” tires were actually used tires.
• The technicians had failed to install the rubber seals, which caused the air to leak.
• They broke my original Toyota sensor and replaced it with a cheap knockoff sensor to hide the issue from my vehicle’s system.
This is blatant deceptive and unethical business behavior. If my stepfather hadn’t stepped in, I would have been driving on unsafe tires that I was told were brand new.
Do not trust this shop — especially if you are a woman. It’s clear they thought they could take advantage of me, and I’m grateful we caught it before it caused a serious problem or a fatal car accident.
Mavis should be held accountable for this type of fraudulent service. I’ll be filing a complaint with corporate and the BBB to ensure no one else has to deal with this.
