- CHCharles HaskettDec 31, 20251.0If you didn't know, Bobby's was bought out by Discount Tire. I did not know this or I would have never came here to begin with. Anyways, I came in for an 8 A.M appointment to have my TPMS serviced and tires balanced. At most, this should be an hour job or 1.5 to be conservative. To begin, it took them close to 5 hours. Ruined my entire day. Second, they said all my TPMS batteries were dead, which is likely crap because they were replaced 2 years ago. They have a 5-7 year life. I can see one going bad but all of them... Highly unlikely. I asked for the old ones back so I can take to another shop to confirm. Then they tried to align my truck after all this... You don't need an alignment after balancing. The alignment would have cost $140 which is double the cost of what I paid less than a year ago at a private shop. To top it off, my TPMS light came back on a few hours after leaving. I would take my truck to Walmart before I take it here again. Stay away to save your self some money and most importantly your time.
- JRJason Dunaway, RealtorDec 2, 20255.0Bobby’s took care of my vehicle. I got some new shoes for it and the alignment and oil change was a plus. The fact that it was done when they said it would be means a lot when you are on a tight schedule. I highly recommend them.
- NPNick PapageorgioOct 30, 20251.0I wouldn't go here again if it was the last mechanic on the planet. I called on Saturday to make an appointment, I was told to bring my car in Wednesday and leave it all day Dropped my car off Wednesday, was told it would be a few days. I explained I already called a few days ago and was told to bring my car in today. I explained the issue that I was having, and the check engine light code I had, and possible causes. A day and a half later, I called back because I had heard nothing. Apparently they looked at my car but didn't feel it was important to call me back and tell me. All she did was repeat the information I already told them. The codes, possible causes, and possible things to replace. So now I've had a week wasted, charged $50 for nothing, and have to find a competent auto mechanic in the area. Maybe there is a communication disconnect between the mechanics and the people working in the front, but from the conversations I had, these people have no idea what they're doing, and I wouldn't trust them to fix a fisher price car.
- RERichard EdmondsonSep 1, 20255.0We were traveling through the Franklin Va. area and had to get a tire repaired. Will and the crew were very helpful and got us back on the road. If I lived closer they would get all of my business.
- SGScott GrayAug 23, 20253.0Tires were ordered and received quickly. installation was done quickly. however I had to take my truck elsewhere to have them rebalanced. I could of had Bobby's correct the issue but they should of done it correctly the 1st time.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bobby's Tire Discounters
How do I know if I need an alignment?
The #1 cause of uneven or rapid tire wear is misalignment. Your vehicle also may pull to one side or feel "loose" when steering, and you might even observe a drop in fuel economy. Alignment is critical to tire life and vehicle safety. In fact, if you install new tires on a misaligned vehicle, some manufacturers won't even honor your tire warranty. Everyday driving, potholes, hard turns, and sudden stops, gradually knock your wheels out of alignment. This wear is natural, but it can quickly chew through your tires. That's why Tire Discounters includes a FREE alignment ($129.99 value) when you purchase 4 tires installed. It's just another way we help you get more life (and more value) out of your tires.
