From the moment I called, the experience exceeded my expectations. Jay was incredibly kind, professional, and helpful. As someone new to the Richmond area, it was reassuring to have such a positive first interaction with a local business.

Based on my experience, I can confidently say "Yes--I highly recommend this business and will absolutely return in the future". Thank you for such a great experience. C. Rosser

Getting an appt was easy, I called in & they gathered my info to send me a quote. I got a quote via text that I accepted to set the appt. There's no waiting room, so you do have to drop off the car & head elsewhere to wait. I had a scheduled maintenance done, and it was ready before the end of day. Upon pickup they explained what was done & made sure I didn't have any questions or concerns. All the staff was SUPER nice! Definitely recommend.

I'm actually sad to type this review because I have returned multiple times for new full sets of…read moretires and minor tire work along with sending quite a few of my friends over to you all. I recently went for an alignment which I successfully received but a member of the team was incredibly hard to speak to because for some reason she felt I was silly for my choice in tire sizes on one of my vehicles. I completely think that is fine, not everyone sees eye to eye, but because of the way she was treating me and speaking to me was not entirely the kindest. I think she completely ignored my request to have my suspension inspected before moving forward with the alignment. I told her that I suspected the wheel bearing was giving way and if so, I would like to take the car to my mechanic and avoid getting the alignment at that moment because it wouldn't be my best option. She doesn't say the staff had anything to say about the wheel bearing so I was pretty excited that the noises coming from my car were probably just tire cupping from uneven wear. Well, I take my car to my mechanic the very next day and he lets me know that my wheel bearing is essentially on its way out. I couldn't believe it because 1. It should be impossible to do a perfect alignment with a failing wheel bearing 2. I've trusted you all for so long to make sure my vehicle was safe and for great tires and I even tipped on the alignment. It's hard to find great mechanics that you can trust and I've always been so happy to let you all service my car that I actually feel betrayed by the bad customer service and the potential that I wasn't warned about a dangerous issue with my vehicle. It sucks ands it's sad, but I will not be returning.

More than a headache, they turned buying new tires into a journey. To begin with, they sold me…read morealternative-sized tires instead of the factory-recommended ones. The car was riding less than desirable, so I went back to exchange them for the correct size. They tried to charge me for installation AGAIN, and instead of prorating the extended warranty I already purchased, they tried to charge me for a second one. I finally got the correct size tires, but they were shaking worse than the first set! I took it back the next day for them to rebalance. The salesman asked if I went to get them balanced somewhere else after I left last night. That question was so idiotic that it took me a minute to register. He said there were two different sets of weights on the rim and one set wasn't theirs; he basically admitted that this was the first time they balanced my tires, even though they were supposed to be balanced at the time of purchase. Their corporate team reached out to me after I left a Google review, stating that someone would contact me within two business days. It has been four days, and I still have heard nothing. Response to comment. That's fascinating, because I didn't have any missed calls from that location. Maybe that's the philosophy of that location? Claiming work that wasn't performed? Cody's offered to refund the difference when I reached out to ask for the GM yesterday. I suggested that he have someone come to the Ford dealership to pick up the tires for a full refund; I no longer have faith in your company's work and would rather get new tires from a more reputable business. The fact that the newly purchased tires weren't balanced at all--not just once, but twice--is more than a little unsettling. Whether it was oversight or cutting corners, it put my safety at risk while driving.

My husband thought one of the camper tires looked worn, so we drove over to Richmond to find tires. We absolutely lucked into Mincz Tires on the recommendation of another tire place that didn't have what we needed. We got to Mincz about 10am and were done by 11:15am. The owner, Ken, is very knowledgeable and explained the various options. He said most people just want the cheapest tires. We went ahead with the high quality tires he recommended - Maxis brand - which he said were twice as heavy as the cheap ones. He called and had them delivered in about 15 minutes. They put them on the trailer as it sat in front of the shop, still connected to the truck. The cost for the two tires and labor was $311. At no time did we feel pressured, just a lot of information from a very interesting guy. When they were finished, he said that the inside of the other tire, which looked better on the outside, was actually splitting on the inside and would have blown soon. So, we saved the cost of roadside service, plus met a nice person. We feel lucky to have found this family-owned business!
