They went above and beyond testing out our transmission, We had an engine light come on and had smelled a burning odor and we where pulling a heavy load. They said that the light code was for a air intake sensor. They explained everything very well, how we should drive the rest of the way to help our transmission. They got us back on the road in an hour or two. They said "your transmission is fine, don't let anyone take advantage of you on the way there. If your engine gets hot, pull over and let it cool down." We have since had our regular mechanic check it out again and they were right. Our transmission is fine. I am so happy when I find an honest mechanic!

WARNING: I would strongly caution anyone against getting service done at Smith-Davis Tire Pro Shop…read moreif you value your safety and the safety of others on the road. Last month, I paid hundreds of dollars to have my brakes, brake pads, and alignment serviced there. Shortly after, I noticed a faint thumping sound coming from the driver-side wheel well, and my car was still pulling to the right. Since I happened to be in another area, I took my vehicle to a different automotive shop for a second opinion. What they found was alarming. My brake pads had apparently been installed incorrectly, clips and pins were missing, and one of the brake pads had already broken in half after only ONE MONTH. This is not just poor workmanship -- it's a serious safety issue that could have caused a major accident. When I contacted the manager, instead of showing concern for my safety, he seemed more upset that I had the vehicle inspected elsewhere rather than bringing it back to them. He told me that, based on the pictures I provided, the pads were "still attached," and seemed completely unconcerned that a brand-new brake pad had split in half after only a month. After paying good money for critical maintenance like brakes, customers should at the very least expect their vehicle to be safe to drive. I will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General regarding this location. Please be careful and always get a second opinion if something feels wrong with your vehicle after service.

But unlike the other Goodyear locations, they do what they say they'll do when they say they'll do it. They are knowledgeable, courteous, and professional, and I never feel taken advantage of. They never talk down to me and have never tried to sell me a service I didn't know I needed. Today, for instance, I took my late model Volvo in for an oil change and because of some odd performance issues I was concerned about. They changed my oil, did an inspection, and drove it around and found nothing out of the ordinary. They identified the issue I was experiencing, explained what it was, and that it's just evidence of my aging vehicle and nothing to worry about. They could have sold me something and I'd have believed them, but once again I'm checking out paying less than I thought I would. It's now the only place I'll take this car.

Since my last review was deleted!…read more It saddens me to have to write this post because I've always had a great experience with this company when I lived in the Danville area. They were always polite and efficient, even with a high turnover rate. However, my experience this past weekend was unacceptable. I visited my family and needed an oil change, so naturally, I went to Jiffy as I always do. When I pulled up, the young lady noticed an expired Virginia inspection sticker from when I used to live there. She asked if I needed an inspection, and I told her no, explaining that I'm currently a Georgia resident and have been back in Georgia for about two years. She mentioned that their inspection guy could remove the sticker if I wanted, so I agreed. Once my oil change was done, the technician removed the sticker and asked if my DAL sticker should come off too. I told him no, I needed that one for work. While taking off the inspection sticker, he chipped the tint on my window. They made excuses and didn't take responsibility. I thought about it and then called the store to speak with a manager. He told me he would contact his district manager and get back to me by the end of the day. Of course, no one called back, so I had to follow up. He said his manager needed to talk to the sheriffs about the situation--why, I have no idea, but okay. The next day, I spoke with a manager named Randall, who was polite and genuinely wanted to help. He reached out to Luke Underwood, the district manager, and assured me it would be taken care of. Randall told me that once I got back to Georgia and found a place to repair the tint, they would pay over the phone. He even provided me with Luke's email for follow-up. I emailed Luke on Monday and received no response. By Wednesday, I'd already coordinated with my tint company in Georgia, which agreed to take payment over the phone. Still no reply from Luke, so I called Randall again. Moments later, Luke finally called me. Instead of addressing the issue, he launched into a rant about my tint being "illegal" and claimed they wouldn't pay for it. He dismissed everything and said, "It's denied." I explained that I live in Georgia, where my tint is legal. My current address and vehicle registration are in Georgia--Virginia laws don't apply to me. He argued about my address on their records and insinuated that it was my fault for returning to Virginia for an oil change. Then he said, "Nobody has authorization over me, so that was never told to you," implying that I'm lying about what Randall promised. To say the least, I'm furious. Luke Underwood and this company need to be held accountable

After paying $600 and having left my car the whole week, my car was not better. Amber messaged me to ask how the car was and I told her it was the same as when I took it in. Todd called me and never asked a question, just jumped in arguing about what I originally took it in for. Needless to say, my car has gotten continually worse and now I need to find a mechanic to do it properly. That $600 would be helpful.
