When we got the car back, we noticed a massive dent but thought perhaps we just hadn't noticed it before (we had just gotten the car not long ago). We started noticing this weird brining smell and sound, for a week we couldn't figure it out. One day I was driving slowly with my window down and could hear this horrible sound getting louder and louder. Luckily I was just about home, because when I stopped and got out to look, it was the brake caliper on the driver's side tire that was not bolted and was scraping the inside of the rim! I drove home slow and had someone take me to get a bolt to fix it. The issue is that our car wasn't being seen for anything to do with tires or anything that required tires to be removed to fix. Odd. We lifted the hood to try to figure out the burning smell a day later because now we are wondering what they were doing to our car. To our shock, the hood latch FELL OFF. Someone had taken all but one bolt out, leaving the one bolt to barely be screwed in with no nut. Now we are mad. They were called and they refused to compensate or make it right. Not but a few days later, my car abruptly quit moving forward while I was driving and it's junk. I don't know what actually was done to my car, but this place did SOMETHING. I don't know why, I don't understand it. It's almost like they swapped my parts with junk or something and were in a massive hurry to put our car back together. They are associated with Hughes Towing, which oddly enough also destroys people's vehicles and will NOT make it right. Avoid these crooks! Especially Gary Hughes, he's rude and thinks it's appropriate to threaten and intimidate women when they tell the truth about his swindling scams!

A&L Automotive came to my rescue while on an out of town trip last fall and I'm very grateful. It…read morewas a Saturday morning. Friend and I were driving to breakfast when all of a sudden my dashboard lit up and my car stopped working! We coasted into the nearby restaurant where we were headed thankfully. We got out and did the obvious - look under the hood for fluid leaks, smoke, etc... but nothing for the plain eye to see. I went to Yelp to see if there were any services near that could help and that is when I found this shop. I called A&L, told them what happened and they kept it real with me basically saying they didn't know what it could be either, but they could fit me in that morning to take a look. I decided to have the car towed versus trying to drive it and possibly damage it further. I asked if they knew any tow companies and they gave me info for a local company they do business with (that was also excellent btw!). Once my car arrived at A&L they let me know they were close to finishing up another vehicle and would look into mine after they were done. They have a very small waiting area which is set up nicely with a couch, tv with all entertainment you could want and a vending machine. It really is only big enough for a couple people. When it was my turn, they looked at the car while I chilled in the waiting area de-stressing watching tv. They came back, explained the problem, quoted me a price and let me know they could fix it that same morning while I waited! WOW! They did have to send someone for the part. The pricing also seemed very reasonable. I accepted. (Note I later discussed what happened with my existing local trusted mechanic and he confirmed their pricing was AMAZING as was the fact they were able to help so quickly. As a non-mechanical person there is a lot of trust that goes here). They had my problem diagnosed, resolved and paid for all in a few hours. I was very impressed! My friend even stated this was a blessing as many shops have waiting lists right now for basic items. Summary - USE this shop! Take your car here! They are trustworthy, efficient, affordable and no bs. They do what they say they can do and they are upfront about now being able to diagnose without seeing the vehicle.

I have never been treated so unprofessionally at a Discount Tire store since I began doing business with them in 1983 in Dallas. I wouldn't buy the first installment on a free lunch from this store. I may try another DT store, but not the Mountain Home store. I'll go to Walmart before I'd buy from this DT store.
