How are you a tire warehouse and you don't stock used tires and then has the nerve to direct me elsewhere if I wanted to go to George's I would've just went. Need to change your business name bc it's false advertising you can't be a warehouse and then don't have everything. read more

Without fail Modern Tire always delivers great service. The entire team is great, they fit you in even if they can even when they have a full schedule. Top notch customer service! read more

Brian is the kindest and most helpful employee! He knows what he is doing and went above and beyond for customer service. He is the main reason we are writing this review but the place its self is also great. This is the only place we bring our cars for tires. read more

Absolutely wonderful people, personable, worked quickly and with quality on my tires. Definitely going back for any other services and recommending to anyone who needs vehicle services. read more

Brian and the crew at WH Modern Tire are awesome. First, they are friendly and professional and make you feel like you're the only customer with a car getting serviced. They are responsive, accommodating, and quick. Thankfully, my visits have been routine, but I know that if I had any questions or trouble, they would be my first call. Thank you! read more

Excellent local car service. I had a list of required services from a dealer garage, including exchanging the Rear Springs, Spark Plugs and the ubiquitous flush of all kind of fluids. Apparently, none of this was necessary. Modern Tire checked all this for free, said there is really no service needed and I should return when the next oil service is due. They didn't even charge for it. First rate, honest service. I previously had a major repair and a brake service on another car. All were very competitively priced and apparently well performed. Highly recommended. read more

Very helpful people. My car had a malfunction and was parked in a garage across the street. The person at the front desk was very helpful and despite being slammed with work,, took the time to come out himself to check on the car and get it going. Universe need more helpful people like him. Thank you again! read more

Went to get an oil change, didn't make an appointment but they were nice enough to take me right in, service was great, quick and reasonably priced. Highly recommend going here and supporting a local business instead of a nationwide chain. The owners are super nice and honest. Will be coming back again. read more

My local mechanic has closed his doors and I needed to bring my 10 year old Forester somewhere (other than a dealer) for some TLC. My car was on the brink of overheating on warm days/drives. These guys were great, I called them on a Friday and had an appointment for Monday. They didn't call until later in the afternoon to let me know the issue (water pump/timing belt) and to say that they needed a second day. Lucky for me I can work from home when I need to so it wasn't an inconvenience. They fixed me up by noon the following day, after giving me the total and me giving them the OK TO GO. I also mentioned to them that I found them via a personal referral and they took $20 off my bill for saying so. I thought that was super cool of them. My wife has already made an appointment with them for next week. For me this place works, they seem honest, quick and they're very conveniently located. Special bonus, my car was a tick loud and I also asked them to check out the exhaust. They said there wasn't anything wrong with it but once they fixed the water pump, the car purrs like a 10 year old cat (super quiet). read more

If you are looking for a garage with honest trustworthy people please give them your business . I do not write reviews - but I had to this time . I had a check engine light on They were so helpful they went above and beyond . Nicest people I've had the pleasure dealing with in a very long time . I spoke with some other people and everyone had the same experience. They were busy but yet took time to answer questions and when I came back they were not as busy and fixed the problem remembered me ... and I passed my emissions first time. Do not hesitate I will always deal only with them moving forward . read more

Nice guys but they broke the tire sensor when replacing a tire and denied it . Told me to have a Jeep dealer reset the tire light because they couldn't do it due to interference from other Jeep's round . The light mysteriously came on after they replaced the tire and they swore the sensor was good . I saw the report from the Jeep scan after I had to go to the dealer . A tire sensor isn't expensive and if they admitted they broke it by accident I would have not been upset . Instead I had to make a service appointment with Jeep and find the truth . Never went back to Modern after that. read more

This is the auto service place you've been looking for. Easy to deal with...totally trustworthy...reasonably priced...and if you live anywhere near West Hartford center, very convenient. As an example: The dealer recently told me my Jeep needed a repair that was going to cost at least $700. They couldn't do it that day, so I brought it to Brian at Modern for another look. He told me it's a common, minor issue among older Jeeps that rarely actually needs fixing (a very slow leak). And didn't even charge me for that opinion. This is why our household will be bringing all our vehicles to Modern Tire for the foreseeable future. read more

The guys at Modern Tire are truly the real deal and their positive reviews do not lie. They run an honest business and don't try to sell you services or parts you don't need, which is basically unheard of in the auto world. I recently stopped in for a set of brand new tires and a front brake job on my SUV and had the pleasure of working with Brian. He actually told me upfront I might want to check out a big box store for tires if I could get them cheaper, which I thought was incredibly nice and sincere of him. Brian was actually able to get another set of better tires down in price to as low as he could go and I was so impressed with his honesty and integrity that I spent a little more with Modern Tire rather than picking up tires elsewhere. So far, the tires have been phenomenal (and better than the ones I had and was going to purchase elsewhere). My front brakes couldn't be better. What also impressed me was that my entire job, which was pretty much booked at the last minute, was completed on time and when they said it would be. I can definitely see why so many people take their cars to Modern Tire and will definitely be a returning customer! read more

It is a fact that this place does NOT LIKE OLDER CARS. If your car is not one run by a computer, they will up charge you like crazy for the smallest of issues and will honestly not want to work with you. They told a friend they wouldn't be able to drive their car off of the lot. Instead they did and got it fixed elsewhere for a better price than they were offering. And yes they had a car older than 2015. read more

What would I do without Modern Tire? They are the best. Reasonable and honest. Take good care of my Toyota and tell me when to stop investing in a lost cause. Highly recommend this shop. read more

I am bringing my car in today to check out my squeaky brakes. I have come in here a couple of times before to get a quote on tires, then on a 60,000 mile service and they have always been a bit on the high side compared to the chains like Pep Boys or Jiffy Lube, but only slightly better than the dealership. It's close to home and there are lots to do if I have to wait for the car for a couple of hours. It is also voted by Advocate Readers as the Best Car Repair Shop of 2011 (http://www.ct.com/news/advocates/best-of-ct/hartford/2011/driving/ht-best-car-repair-shop-20110420,0,6647184.story). I will update my review after the repair is completed. UPDATE I just picked up my car from Modern Tire & Auto Service and the problem was fixed. It was the brakes from the front tires as suspected. When I arrived around 11:30 am, I was told that they won't be able to check on the car until 2:00 pm and was asked if I could come back. Gladly took the time to run errands and when I went back at 2 pm, I was told it will be an hour before they can assess the problem. I got a call in 30 minutes with a full diagnosis and cost of part and service. I have nothing to compare it with so I went ahead and got the service done. I was given about an hour before the car would be ready but it was done in 45 minutes. When I picked up the car, I was made aware that they also looked at the rear brakes and made adjustments to extend the wear. To my surprise, the emergency brake was also adjusted! Overall, I was very happy with the experience. I am giving it another 48 hours before I can truly say I recommend them. But so far, Modern Tire provided efficient and courteous service. read more

Went to modern tire in WH for several years for oil changes and my friend pointed out that my tires were bald, verified this with another mechanic. I had recently been to modern tire and they didn't say a thing about my bald tires, glad I discovered before winter. Cannot recommend modern tire after this. read more

I got new tires here, and they were very nice, fast and helpful. I got a good price on my tires and they were done in less than an hour. I felt the price was fair and the service was efficient. It's in a nice location because you don't have to just sit and wait in the waiting room, you can walk to Whole Foods or any place in Blue Back and just hang out and maybe do a little shopping. I went to the gym for an hour and when I came back I was all set. I'll probably be coming back here when I need service on my car. Addition!: I came here again with a slow leak in a tire. They took me right away without any notice or appointment and fixed the problem right away (screw in tire!) for under $20. I went with a friend a few weeks later to her dealership to fix the same problem that I had (screws!). Not only did they take almost an hour, they charged her $70! What a rip. read more

Modern Tire, has treated me with respect and dignity every time I have come in. They have never fixed the problem without my go approval. They have been very good about the time thy think they need to fix or look at my cars, so I know how long it will take. Andy and Brian have always remember my name when I dropped off my cars. I have never really shopped or customer car care, why should I since I'm treated so well here. I will always come back to these guys read more

I went in because I needed a tow hitch removed from my vehicle. They quoted me $30-$50 (very fair) and I was afraid that would jack that up and say it took longer since mechanics charge by the hour. The final price was $50 which was very fair and they were very quick and friendly about it. I would go back. read more

These guys are the best! Just go. I've been going there for years. Thank you Brian and Brian. You guys are professional and always service with a smile read more

Amazing service and professionalism. Best spot in West Hartford for car service and tires.

I didn't come here for car service but tire service for my bike. I happen to be riding on my rims and was on my way to get my tire inflated at the local gas station, but happen to pass by Modern. I simply asked if they can help me pump up my tires and without hesitation Andy was happy to help. I got my psi up to the right level and on my way I was. Thanks Andy for helping thy neighbor! If they are as helpful as they were with a free non-paying biker like myself, I'm sure they treat their customers just as well! read more

Joey and crew are awesome at the Rocky Hill location! No complaints ever only compliments!

Very professional and provide excellent service in a quick and efficient manner! Also provided a discount when they found out I am a health care worker in a hospital! Their kindness and support is very much appreciated! read more

Not Consumer Friendly. I found the website difficult to navigate. They have no list of tires in stock or pricing on their website. When I called, I was told it would be one hour with a call back to get prices. I mentioned it was not very consumer-friendly given my experience, they said call somewhere else. They lost out on a potential customer. read more

Great customer service, easy to schedule an appointment and an honest staff.

Trustworthy, honest, prompt, and excellent customer service. Very thankful to have found Modern Tire!

I have a three-month-old, so speed and convenience were a must. They were very professional over the phone to set up my appointment, and helpful in choosing the right tires for my car. When I showed up for my appointment, I didn't even have to come in. He saw me with the stroller and came out to get my keys. He said it would be an hour, but ended up calling me 35 minutes later to tell me it was done. Absolutely fantastic customer service. I won't go anywhere else from now on. read more

So as soon as I started driving my car the low tire pressure monitor went off. It sounded like air was actively coming from the tire. I couldn't find a hole in the tire and was nervous to drive it. I called Modern Tire. Brian was so nice and helpful. I made an appointment for that day. When I went in, they inspected my tire, told me the tire was fine and the issue was the drastically fluctuating temperatures. They ensured all my tires were safe to drive on and sent me on my way. Welcoming. Knowledgeable. Honest. I found my new auto shop. read more

I have used this business for all my automotive repair needs for well over 10 years. I trust them TOTALLY as people of complete integrity and a commitment to tremendous service. I have had a number of times in which the bill was a lot less than I expected - and it was due to their looking out for my best interests - and only doing what needed to be done. I couldn't have a higher recommendation for a business. I am a fellow business owner in West Hartford Center and I applaud this truly outstanding business. read more

This is the only place I trust to work on my car. I drive an hour to bring my car here. They are honest and reliable. Brian takes the time to explain everything. I can't recommend enough. read more

Go forth with confidence! My daughter goes to school in Hartford and I live several states away. Modern Tire has done work on her car several times and I have been satisfied with what they have done. It's pretty easy to get an appoinment and I feel they have done good work and been fair about what the car needed. Costs have been reasonable and about what you would expect. read more

Stopped into whole foods to use their bathroom and I came out to a dead car battery. Apparently no one has cables in the West Hartford area (Self included). Ran across the street and they were happy to lend me their charge box on my word that I would bring it back. When I couldn't get a good connection, they drove over themselves to help me out. Never have done any actual business with them, but their willingness to be a good samaritan for nothing in exchange makes me eager to see what they do when you actually pay for their service. I'll be by here next time I need work done. read more

Very professional, polite and quick. I was told over the phone my tire change would take 1-2 hours, but they were done within 20 minutes. Due to its convenient location next to Blue Back Square, I'd only finished half of my latte at the nearby Barnes and Noble before I received the call that my tire change was done. I will definitely be coming back. read more

These guys are the best. Not only are they prompt and so courteous, but they are TRUSTWORTHY. They do great work, but they will also tell you what your car DOESN'T need. It's for this reason that I will only bring my car here, and I send all my friends as well. Highly recommended. read more

Good People! Honest and helpful. So relieved our college student can take her 2000 VW Jetta here and we don't have to worry. We are out of state and Modern Tire has saved us thousands of dollars. Long list of costly repairs that must be done according to other shops in whatever location the car has broken down. Took it to Modern Tire, they fixed the real problem (which was not major) and said it is a great, safe, sound car especially considering it has over 180K miles on it. read more

These guys are so awesome! It's so hard to find a good mechanic especially one that's not a rip off. They are so reasonably priced I actually take my car to get fixed now when it needs it, instead of putting it off till it breaks down. If you live in West Hartford your crazy not to take your car here. read more

Finally! I found an honest auto repair shop. Finding a good mechanic is like finding a good Dr. Very difficult to do, but so important. Modern Tire in West Hartford is honest, straight forward and consistently fair. You never leave feeling like you got ripped off paying for junk you might not need. This place does what takes to fix your ride and nothing more. I'm not just a fan, I'm a repeat customer. . Good job! read more

These guys are great! In and out in fifteen minutes! It sure beats waiting at the dealership forever....
