Having been acquired by Tire Kingdom, I became skeptical that I would continue to receive the friendly and fast service I had experienced in the past (the slimy Tire Kingdom commercials don't help). Earlier this week I made an appointment 5 days in advance with another, locally-owned, auto repair shop only to be disappointed. The other shop treated me as if I had dropped-in unannounced and wanted new tires the next day. I left and went to Merchant's. At Merchant's not only was I treated like a valuable customer, they were able to accommodate me without asking or appearing put-out. As a result they got my 1200.00 business! I have read other reviews that are negative and I am at a loss. I have never experienced the treatment described in those reviews. The only thing I can think of is I have done my research before I go, I know what I want, and I give them plenty of time to do their work - usually dropping off the car on Friday night and picking it up the next afternoon. I did have one unsettling experience when they were still on Parris Ave: while picking-up my car from a routine emissions inspection I was presented with a list of recommended service items totaling over a thousand dollars. I didn't take them up on this - I know what I need and when I need it and this felt a little like a scam. It may have been an honest attempt to drum-up business on things that were not 100% up to their designed abilities but, clearly did not require immediate attention.

I recently brought my vehicle in for a routine oil change and inspection around 3 PM. At the time…read moreof service, my vehicle had no warning lights or known issues. Approximately two and a half hours later, my check engine light came on. I returned to the shop the same day, and they scanned the code, which came back as P0430 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold). What is concerning is not just the timing, but the response I received. I was told it was "just a coincidence," and no further effort was made to inspect the vehicle. Given that this issue appeared immediately after service, I expected at minimum a basic check of components that may have been accessed or affected during the inspection, such as oxygen sensor connections or anything near the exhaust system. Instead, the concern was dismissed without any attempt to rule out whether something may have been inadvertently disturbed during service. As a customer, that lack of follow-through is frustrating and does not reflect thorough or responsible service. Additionally, my overall experience raised concerns about professionalism and honesty. During check-in, I was told that I would need new wiper blades in order for my vehicle to pass inspection. I was initially quoted $14.99 for the blades, but then the associate realized the correct length I needed was actually priced at $20. I was told he would still honor the $14.99 price, but that the receipt would show the 24-inch blades at the higher price. Being told one thing while knowingly documenting something different is concerning. Given that this kind of falsehood occurred, it raises questions about what else may not have been handled correctly during my service, including whether the correct oil was used or if something else may have been impacted. During check-in, I was also encouraged to leave a five-star review due to the number of one-star reviews the business has received. A specific complaint was even mentioned about the business not having a working phone. However, a phone number is printed on receipts, which would reasonably lead customers to believe they can contact the business by phone. That disconnect is misleading. While waiting for my vehicle, I observed staff engaging in unprofessional behavior, including using profanity and focusing more on social interactions than customer service. After paying $163, even with a $25 off coupon, I am now in a position where I still have to consult with a reputable mechanic to resolve an issue that was not present when I brought my vehicle in, and clearly was not present when the business passed the vehicle for a state inspection. I understand that the mechanical issue may ultimately be unrelated. However, the timing alone warranted a closer look, and I should not have had to push for that level of care. Combined with the lack of professionalism and questionable business practices, this experience has left me needing to seek a second opinion elsewhere, something that could have been avoided with more thorough service and accountability.
