Do not provide business to Affordable Tire and Auto Service…read more It pains me to write this review after a year and a half of good service at Affordable Tire and Auto Service. After replacing all four brakes and attempting to diagnose a steering wheel wobble over a few visits, I noticed damage to the underside of my vehicle. My vehicle is a full-size Ford Transit commercial van and it was obvious that someone jacked it up on the body welds where you would lift a minivan or small car, denting it. In the most cordial manner possible, I brought this to the attention of Martin, understanding that mishaps happen. He maintained a position that his shop was not at fault for the damage. I demonstrated that his floor jack fit into the dent. I have pictures of the underside of my vehicle before the damage occurred and the vehicle was not serviced anywhere else for over a year. There is no reasonable explanation other than the damage occurring by them. Begrudgingly, Martin agreed to have my vehicle repaired. The next few weeks went by with many unreturned voice messages and texts, and finally a visit to a body shop of his choosing that turned down the job. The second body shop he sent me to provided a quote which I promptly sent to Martin to review. Another few weeks went by with difficulty reaching him. At no point did he ever try to initiate any contact to move towards a resolution. When I got back in touch with Martin over a month had gone by since bringing the issue to his attention. In order to try to bring the matter to conclusion, and avoid having my van tied up for weeks at the body shop, I offered to reach a settlement for an amount below the estimate. This angered him and he seemed to think this whole matter was some kind of scam. A week before my appointment to drop off the vehicle for repair I received a call from the body shop informing me I needed to provide a deposit for half of the amount. When I told them Affordable Tire would be responsible for the cost they further recommended they pay the entire quote in advance to avoid any problems releasing the vehicle to me when it is completed (the repair cost was relatively small in terms of body work). For the next several days both the body shop and myself tried to reach Martin with none of the texts or voicemails getting answered. When I reached him he was upset that a deposit was required and was unwilling to pay the total in advance. On a follow-up call he told me the deposit was taken care of. The morning I dropped off the car the body shop told me the deposit still was not paid. I got Martin on the phone and he personally came to the body shop in anger. He had a position that he has a special relationship with the body shop and didn't think he should pay anything in advance but eventually put the 50% deposit down. On the service paperwork I wrote "to be paid by Affordable Tire and Auto Service" and kindly asked Martin to initial it. To this he became irate and totally refused to put anything in writing. Eventually he stormed out saying "I ain't signing nothing!" In shock at these events, I had to go sit in my car to decide what to do. With the past as a guide, I can only expect further frustration dealing with Martin and it's not worth the hassle. I profusely apologized to the staff at the body shop and left with my van. With Martin's unwillingness to put the agreement in writing I am forced to explore either small claims court or start an insurance claim which will seek damages on their business liability coverage. It's worth mentioning in this saga that the repair estimate was not very high, about the same amount I paid Affordable Tire to get four brakes done. This makes it particularly sad because my motivation was not to recoup money, it was to give them an opportunity to make things right and hopefully continue using their service.

Asked if they needed to look at my vehicle to see what else was needed because I know I was gonna need an alignment too. They said no to just come back the next day. Went in and was told I needed to come back the next day as they needed to order more parts but still put my tires on without an alignment. A little over $1600 and two whole days wasted. Yesterday I was driving home from work when one of my brand new $173 tire blew. I took it back to the shop being as it hadn't even been 30 days. I got told that bad things happen and that there was no warranty for the tires I got. If I wanted a new one I would have to buy yet another tire. Years of business down the drain but with the new management the whole company has gone under. Wouldn't even recommend this 'repair' shop to my worst enemy

But instead of just telling me to come back in a few days or next week as other mechanics in other shops had done, I asked him if he could just test it out and tell me what he thought. He did just that. Told me what he thought it might be. He didn't try to upsell me. We just talked about possible causes. Satisfied I was safe to continue to drive it - I had already driven some 1000 miles, I went on my way, convinced I would come back to this shop for all my automotive repairs, if needed. Great guy!
