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

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 now so glad that I gave them a try; if every service is this painless they have a customer for life. I booked only a few days in advance for a state inspection, and was in and out in 25 minutes for a grand total of $16. No hassle, no upselling, just pleasant interactions with a polite employee in a comfortable waiting room before going on with my day. In comparison, last year I went elsewhere and had to schedule weeks in advance. I was promised the inspection would take 30 minutes only to be left waiting at the dealership for 3 hours. And despite passing inspection I still had to go through the gauntlet of rude sales reps pushing me to spend more than $2000 on unnecessary services. Never again!

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.

A few months ago, I brought my vehicle in for an oil change and was supposed to receive a tire rotation because I purchased my tires there. The tire rotation was never done, and no one told me my brakes were in serious condition until after I had already paid. Almost immediately after leaving, my brakes started making noise. I was told I had enough brake life to make it until my next oil change. That wasn't even close to true. Before I reached my next service interval, the brakes were grinding, and I was suddenly facing nearly a $600 brake and rotor replacement. If my brakes were already that close to failure, why wasn't I warned before they destroyed the rotors? Then, after paying for the repair, I was once again told I would "probably need brakes again" on the exact same side. That made absolutely no sense and only raised more concerns. The worst part came after my most recent visit. My vehicle started feeling like something was wrong, so I inspected it myself. I found one lug nut completely missing, and the rest were loose and barely holding the wheel on. I'm incredibly lucky my wheel didn't come off while I was driving. That could have cost me my life or someone else's. At this point, I have absolutely no confidence in the workmanship or safety standards at this shop. Between the missed tire rotation, the lack of warning about my brakes, the repeated issues with the same wheel, and the dangerously loose lug nuts, I cannot recommend this business to anyone. I strongly encourage every customer to inspect their vehicle before leaving because what happened to me should never happen to anyone.
