“MORE THAN HONESTY AND INTEGRITY... Driving across country with children can be exciting, magical, but also extremely stressful -especially when running into mechanical / vehicle issues. Adding to the pain is knowing you are utterly at the mercy of whatever help you are able to land. With highway heat separating the plies on our old RV tires nearly a thousand miles from home (ATL, GA) we could not have been more vulnerable. Not only did the shop manager (Owner?) take the time to consider our options (Uncommon tires that would need a special order), he got his tech to weigh in and we arrived at a solution which yielded them zero business but got me and my family safely to the next major city where the issue could get addressed more feasibly. They refused to accept a dime for their time and labor to assess and rotate the rear impacted tires. So the least I can do is to take the time from our vacation to write this review. This shop was more concerned about the safety of a stranger passing through than to turn a profit. Rare to see anymore and well worth supporting! All our best!”

“
The guys up here are nice and truthful. We came in cause our tire was bouncing thinking we just needed to get it balanced. It was starting to split so obviously it wasn’t worth balancing. He let us know, gave us some prices. We have a weird tire size that is unfortunately pretty expensive. He didn’t charge us to take off or put the tire back on. The older gentleman was super nice and they both sent us on our way. It’s nice actually meeting nice people far away from home when you’re in a bad situation that you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel in.”

“Good local shop. Courteous and was able to order my size of tires very quickly. I would definitely do business with them again. They made quick work installing a new set of truck tires. Competitive prices and local shop charm, consider getting a quote here if you’re looking at the large chains as your only options. I was looking at ordering a set online and having one of the large shops install them like I have in the past but I am glad I just stopped by and let this shop take care of everything. The tire shipment was a few hours late but they called and updated me throughout the day and I was able to get the tires on the same afternoon. Long story short- good shop, good price, great service, go by and see them.”
