Mavis Discount Tire in Ridgewood is your local tire shop for dependable tire service and complete auto care. As one of the nation’s largest independent tire retailers, we offer a wide selection of tires along with tire installation, flat tire repair, tire rotation, TPMS service, and tire balancing. Our team also provides wheel alignments, brake repair, oil changes, battery replacement, suspension repair, A/C service, diagnostics, and routine auto maintenance. State inspections are available where applicable.
Oil is the lifeblood of every standard vehicle on the road. It's crucial to regularly check your oil and schedule oil change service for your car to ensure it runs properly. Regular service also allows us to check for leaks in your engine that could shorten your vehicle's lifespan and lead to other avoidable problems.
Rotating your vehicle's tires is important for maintaining and managing treadwear on your tires, and in some cases is required in order to preserve your tires' warranty.
We can service, replace, and repair exhaust systems, catalytic converters, tailpipes, and mufflers. Ensuring these systems are working properly is key to elongating the life of your vehicle and maintaining optimal performance.
Proper wheel and tire alignment helps your car's tires last longer, increases fuel economy, and improves your vehicle's handling. Our highly-trained tire alignment experts are ready to provide you the reliable, quality service you need to get back on the road.
Your vehicle's shocks, struts, and suspension are key components to ensure your vehicle's performance and a more comfortable ride. As such, it's important to properly maintain these components on your vehicle.
Nothing ruins a day faster than a dead car battery. Many factors could lead to your car not starting — a bad battery, failed alternator, or worn-out starter are just a few examples.
Our highly-trained auto technicians and mechanics have decades of experience diagnosing, repairing, and replacing worn out car batteries. We understand how important a reliable car battery is for your car or truck to run and operate reliably. Every car battery replacement and installation we perform uses trusted brands and comes with a limited warranty on parts and service.
There's not much worse than getting in your car, turning that key and seeing that little exclamation point icon telling you that you have low tire pressure. But if you just filled up your tires yesterday and you're still seeing that warning, it may be time to replace your vehicle's TPMS sensor.

I had my oil changed on Saturday Sept 12 and didn’t discover the oil leak until Sept 28. Fortunately I got to another shop before my engine seized. They said the guys at Mavis didn’t put in the oil plug properly. Communication from Mavis was poor on that Saturday anyway. Had to pay for another oil change, $102 additional dollars and work time missed. We won’t be going back to Mavis.

Very disappointing and unprofessional experience.
They accepted my vehicle saying they could repair it, kept it for days and caused me to lose valuable time, only to later tell me, “We can’t do it, come pick up your car.”
When I asked why they accepted the job in the first place, the answer was basically, “We didn’t know.”
That is not professional service. If you are not sure whether you can handle a repair, you should determine that before taking the customer’s vehicle and wasting their time.
Based on my experience, I would not trust my vehicle with Mavis. If they cannot even determine in advance whether they are capable of completing the repair, it raises serious concerns about the quality and reliability of the work they do perform.

**Update 9/22/26**
After all of this drama I did receive a call from local regional management and they have provided a remedy for me. I did convey I hope they review all of the similar stories coming out of the Franklin location and correct the problem at that store.
****UPDATE 9/15/26 -
I Called in as suggested by their ‘customer service’. I was yelled at by a person named Joshua who was absolutely obnoxious and rude.
After I am done getting my car fixed, Joshua at corporate just convinced me not only never to come back to the Ridgewood location, but to abandon doing business entirely with Mavis.
Sad times at Mavis when their customer service is in the toilet and it is coming from the top. This is clearly a systemic issues. I’d advise anyone to look elsewhere.
**************
I very rarely write reviews like this, but after what I experienced at the Mavis Discount Tire on Franklin Avenue in Ridgewood, NJ, I feel people genuinely need to know before trusting this location with their vehicle.
About two years ago, I brought my car there for major work: brakes, rotors, tires, and balancing. It was expensive, but I expected the car to leave operating properly.
It did not.
Immediately after getting the car back, the steering wheel would shake VIOLENTLY whenever I applied the brakes. This was not a minor vibration. Something was clearly wrong.
I returned the following week after already spending more than FIVE HOURS there during the original visit. I waited another TWO HOURS while they supposedly made corrections.
The problem came back almost immediately.
I returned yet again and spent approximately ANOTHER FIVE HOURS there, only to be told more brake work was needed. The car was never right after their work.
At the time, I had too many things going on personally to continue spending entire days sitting in a tire shop fighting over repairs I had already paid substantial money for, so unfortunately I lived with the problem.
Fast-forward about TWO YEARS.
During that entire time, I drove the car only around 3,500 miles.
I recently brought the vehicle to another nearby Mavis location. After inspecting the car and reviewing the company’s computer records, I was told something that absolutely shocked me.
According to the employees at the other Mavis, the Franklin Avenue Ridgewood location had installed the WRONG brake pads and rotors on my vehicle. I was also told their system indicated that the rotors had not actually been replaced the way I had previously been led to believe.
They further explained that the incorrect brake components were now damaged.
That is what makes this so upsetting.
I paid a substantial amount of money. I returned multiple times because the car was clearly not right. I spent roughly 12 HOURS total waiting through these visits. I repeatedly complained about severe shaking while braking, and yet the problem was never properly corrected.
Mistakes can happen. What I cannot accept is repeatedly bringing a vehicle back, explaining that something is seriously wrong, being told work was performed or corrected, and then learning years later from another location within the same company that the wrong parts were apparently installed in the first place.
Brakes are not cosmetic. They are one of the most important safety systems on a vehicle.
Based on my personal experience, I would NEVER bring another vehicle to the Mavis Discount Tire on Franklin Avenue in Ridgewood.
Not for brakes.
Not for tires.
Not for an alignment.
Nothing.
I cannot speak for every Mavis. In fact, another Mavis location is the one that finally helped identify what appears to have gone wrong.
But I can absolutely speak about my experience at the Franklin Avenue location.
I would not go back.
I would not recommend it to family or friends.
And if you have had work done there and your vehicle does not feel right afterward, I strongly recommend getting a second opinion rather than simply accepting that everything is fine.

Had a great experience at Mavis. Everyone was extremely helpful, friendly, and professional from start to finish. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I was taken care of without trying to pressure me into anything. The service was quick and efficient, and I really appreciated how easy they made the whole process. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend them to anyone looking for honest and helpful service.
