    Damaged wheel Bearing with drill Bit inside of it.

    Mavis Tire Review I brought my car to this Mavis location for what started as a simple flat tire. I ordered a full set of new tires and an alignment. Since I noticed they also do suspension work, I asked the manager if they could install a new suspension I had recently purchased. He said yes, explaining that they just wouldn't warranty the parts since I provided them -- which is completely understandable. I agreed to the work, and was told the car would be ready the next day. The following day, they called to say their ball joint press was down and they'd have to do the job manually, so it would take an extra day. The next day, they told me they couldn't complete the ball joints at all and that I needed new upper control arms. I bought the parts myself from Advance Auto and Ubered them over. The manager promised the car would be finished the next day. When I came back, the manager told me everything was done except that the ABS light wouldn't turn off -- they might have damaged an ABS sensor and would need another day. This was the only time they apologized and covered my Uber home. The next day they said the car was ready, so I picked it up and paid. I didn't get more than 10 feet before the ABS system started violently triggering on and off. I immediately went back inside. The manager admitted again they might have damaged an ABS sensor and promised to replace it. After several more days, they replaced one sensor, but the car was still undrivable. The ABS and VSA systems would activate violently whenever I touched the brakes. Over the next several visits -- spanning roughly ten days -- they kept the car, replaced more sensors, and eventually told me the brakes just needed to be bled. I picked it up the day before a work trip, and within one minute of driving, the same issue returned. When I called, they admitted they couldn't fix the problem and promised to cover the cost if another shop repaired it after my trip. A week later, I returned and called to speak with the manager, only to find out he had quit (or been fired). The new manager, Jaleel, said he knew nothing about the agreement and refused to pay for outside repairs, insisting I bring the car back to them. So, I did -- for the fifth or sixth time. After another week, they told me it was fixed. They had replaced two more sensors and now claimed the issue was my battery (which was fine). When I went in, the new manager blamed me for all the problems, saying it was because I brought my own parts. I explained that the previous manager approved the job and that the shop had already admitted to damaging my car. He continued to argue and blame me in front of other customers, refusing to take responsibility and even refusing to give me a copy of the work performed. At that point, I took my car to the independent shop the previous manager had originally recommended -- on my own dime. That shop found multiple damaged wheel bearings and even discovered broken drill bits left inside two of them, rolling around near the wheel sensors. They said it was one of the wildest things they had ever seen. These were the original bearings, so the damage clearly came from Mavis's work. The new shop repaired everything, and the car now drives perfectly. In total, I spent nearly $4,000, went 6-7 weeks without my car, and spent hundreds more on Ubers back and forth to Mavis. Bottom line: This Mavis location -- especially under the new manager -- is completely unprofessional. The previous manager at least took accountability and tried to make things right. The new one just blamed me and refused to help. Unless you're getting something simple like a tire change, avoid this Mavis at all costs. They will lie, damage your car, and refuse responsibility. Currently Mavis corporate is doing an "investigation" into the matter. Has been 6 weeks up to this point and nothing so far I've attempted to contact the regional manger multiple times with just a response of "the investigation is on going". Their quality guarantee is questionable and this point. If you want real service from honest mechanics, go to Frank's Auto down the road. They're busy, but they know what they're doing and actually treat customers with respect.

    When they "fixed "

    Absolutely not If I could give zero stars I would.I got my tire plug there and drove to work witch is 15 min away . Tire was flat in less than 30 min.

    Manager Rob and Matt on his team run the place , taking care of every single customer. The Mavis company needs to take better care of them. They made sure I was left satisfied with the work and did what I requested.

    They stayed open late to fix our tire. We landed at Logan and discovered we had a flat. Wayne and the team were excellent!!'

She refused to pay - the owner got involved, admitted they should've checked with her before doing the extra work, and then still charged her $150. They charged her card, so the whole broken card machine was bullshit obviously. When she still objected to $150 for an oil change, the owner started screaming at her. They called her a "STUPID CUNT" TO HER FACE. Complete verbal abuse!! A police report was filed against them for verbal assault. DO NOT GIVE THESE SCUMBAGS YOUR BUISNESS. They scam customers, do work that's not approved, and are incredibly rude and verbally abusive if you don't just give into their scam.

There were no tire shops open, and even the car dealerships were closed and inaccessible. My insurance roadside assistance had no choice but to tow my car back to the apartment where I was staying in Quincy. I assumed I'd have to wait until the next morning, have my car towed again to a dealership, and pay a fortune for the repair. Thankfully, my husband searched online and found On The Way Express. What an incredible find! They responded immediately and came directly to me that same night. Within about 10-15 minutes, my flat tire was repaired, and I didn't have to deal with another tow or wait until morning. Not only was the service incredibly fast, but it was also far more affordable than what I would have paid at a dealership. What impressed me the most, though, was how safe and comfortable they made me feel. It was late, very dark, and I was alone in an unfamiliar place. The mechanic was so kind, respectful, and comforting from the moment he arrived. He explained the repair process, taught me a few things about tires, and made sure I felt completely at ease. It's rare to find a company that combines speed, affordability, expertise, and genuine care for its customers. They turned what could have been an expensive, stressful ordeal into a quick and positive experience. If you're ever stranded in the Boston or Quincy area, don't hesitate to call On The Way Express. They truly went above and beyond, and I couldn't be more grateful! The BEST!
