I am not one to leave a review, however, for my experience today at Modern Tire in Newington,…read morespecifically with Pete, I have to. I had a really great experience with Modern Tire. I went in thinking I needed my brake pads replaced, but after taking a look, they let me know that they actually didn't need to be replaced yet. They easily could have taken advantage of my lack of automotive knowledge and gone ahead with the service, but they chose to be honest instead. I truly appreciate their integrity and transparency. It's not something you always find in this industry, especially for a woman unfortunately It's refreshing to work with a business you can trust. I'll definitely be returning in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, reliable service.

I had an unfortunate experience at this tire shop and feel it's important to share…read more I called ahead of time to ask if they installed tires that weren't purchased from their shop. The individual on the phone assured me that they did and told me they would be able to take care of me. Since I was only about five minutes away, I made the trip over. When I arrived, I was told by the person at the front desk that the "tire guys" wouldn't be in for another 20-30 minutes. Although I was already in a rush--which was exactly why I called ahead--I understood and was willing to wait. The problem was that 20-30 minutes turned into nearly an hour and a half. During that time, I watched numerous other vehicles and customers come in and out. When I eventually asked for an update, I was told that my tire was "getting done now" in the back. Yet more time passed before my vehicle was even pulled into the garage. All in all, it took approximately two hours to install one tire that I had brought with me. My biggest issue isn't the amount of time the actual job took. I would never put a price or time limit on someone's work, because I understand that things can come up and jobs can take longer than expected. My issue is the misrepresentation of the expected wait time. If I had been told upfront that I would potentially be waiting two hours for a single tire installation, I would have made a different decision and gone somewhere else. If your looking for a time friendly shop, this is not one I would recommend.

In my 2 day encounter I saw the employees handle every customer with the utmost respect. I've been to other Town fair tire establishments and by far this is the location I will be sticking with.

It seemed that most of the people in the waiting room were also getting their emissions done too. As all places that do Emissions testing, it's $20 cash. You do not need an appointment for this service and they have 5 or so parking spots specifically for it. I will definitely return when our other car needs the same checkout.

Over the years I've had consistently good experiences with them and know they are honest and reliable. Their pricing is honest and affordable. As an example, today I brought my car in for emissions testing-- I had totally forgotten it is almost the due date, called them up, and they told me I could come right over and they'd take care of my car. It was nice and quick, everyone was friendly, and I appreciated the prompt, professional service. At the end I asked if they could check the air in my tires, and he was so nice, he came outside and checked each tire, not charging me anything. Thank goodness for Lyons!

Oil changes here are always quick, yesterday I was in and out in 15 minutes. Prices are reasonable. My basic oil change yesterday cost $36.11. They never try to sell you things you don't need (i.e. "you need new headlights! you need new wiper blades!") which is refreshing. I've never had work done on my car here, so I can't speak for those services. The gas prices here are usually comparable to the cheapest in town, sometimes a few pennies more. Cross is 1/4 mile from my house, so it's my go to gas station! They also have a great variety of snacks/drinks/coffee (yum) and they have ice.

I arrived promptly at 3 and was told the wait would be about 2 hours! I told the man there that I had an appointment. He replied I would have to wait 2 hours for service.

I posted this to warn anyone of thinking about doing business with such a place. Stay away!

Rolando, Mi Hermano!…read more First of all, $25 for a mounted and balanced used tire is one of the best deals in town. As I briefly perused the inventory, most of his tires have a lot of life left. Will you get a matching set of four? Probably not, but can you argue with $100 to replace ALL your tires? Perfect for someone with a beater that just uses their car to get around town and doesn't see any sense in spending much for new tires. More important to this review: my situation. Balancing tires is somewhat of an art form. And god did I have some horrendous tires and wheels on my truck. Honestly, they were beyond repair. But even so, Rolando and his helper ALMOST got rid of all the vibration related to poor balancing on my original wheels. It was a good job given what he had to work with. But finally, I had it with the stock tires and wheels. So two weeks later, I craigslisted me a nice set of gently used alloy wheels with Goodyear Kevlar All-Terrain tires on them, and I took them straight to Ronaldo. He ran into some challenges during the balancing process, but the result? PURRRRRRFECT. No vibration whatsoever. And amazingly, he charges $5 to mount and balance a tire. CRAZY! I tip him every time. Technically, the total cost of services rendered during my two visits was $55, but I've paid him $80. Worth it. Yeah, it's just a little tire shop crammed into a garage in New Britain. But aren't people more important than presentation? Ronaldo Cruz is a good man, and you should give him your business for sure. Hablan Español!

I asked for the tire rotation and balance and didn't get or pay for it, but didn't really have time this time. They do speak Spanish here....with an interpreter on hand. Hours on Saturday were 8-6pm...was a little tough to communicate that and get an answer. They were ready to replace my 120$ Hancook tires with a 25 dollar tire...which would have been fine. But I made it clear I wanted to keep my tire if at all possible, and they removed a 1 inch screw and just charged me for the patch, which I would have to say is honesty since I dropped it off and picked it up. Always a pleasure supporting New Britain/Connecticut City businesses. Muchas Gracias Cruz!
