I ordered quad tires from tirerack.com (great source for tires) and had delivered to Watson's; On day of delivery, Bob Watson called and told me to bring my car by after work. A woman there I had previously spoke with had quoted me $17 per tire to balance and mount. When I got there, Bob Watson took care of me and gave me total bill for $60 (15 per tire). The websites available for delivery/install online were all between $100-120$. So I got great same day service for about half the price. Tires mounted fine, driving smooth, will go back for some general maintenance too and update review.

Good people who do a great job. I have used them for years on personal and fleet vehicles.read more

Manager got my truck right in , and they 'checked 'all four tires and couldn't find a leak, he said that it was just one of those things where you can't find what isn't there. I drove straight to Watson Tire , they got me right in. Watson broke down all four tires, cleaned the inside rims and replaced all four valve stems , which All Tire charged me for but were obviously not replaced. Cured my slow leak issue. I will never again do business with All Tire nor will I refer anyone and will advise EVERYONE to avoid them like the plague. Go ANYWHERE ELSE, but seriously consider Watson's

Most honest mechanic i have experienced in my life, I don't even know where to begin, they are the…read morebest of the best!!! So if you live in Catlin you know the previous (and only) mechanic in town, Martens had a VERY tough job filling the hole that was left. They have FAR exceeded it. I have given them my business every time my car needed repaired but I have to share two experiences of them going completely over the top! First, I picked up a nail in my tire and needed a patch, they accidentally over charged me five dollars (please bear in mind they were BRAND new to Catlin). I had know Idea and was just happy to have my tire fixed. But... When my husband needed an oil change, they remembered the mistake, gave him a 5 dollar credit and sent me a hand written note apologizing, who does that??! The second incident you ask? I dropped my car off on a day they were closed (as in not open and no expectation that I should receive service) so what happened? Well they know my car, and called me to ask what I needed to have done, and made arrangements to have my car repaired first thing Monday morning. Super honest, super awesome at car repair and customer over the top, again, the best of the best!!

Horrible experience. Had my car towed there after it died and would not start. It took them 8 days…read moreto finally look at it. And then tried to call and tell me it was the starter and possibly a bad battery. I had just bought a six year battery 2 years ago and my car is a 2017 so I wasn't convinced it was the starter. She tried to tell me it would be almost $800 to replace my starter. $1200 for a starter and battery! Which is insane!So after making a few calls I called her back and told her I can't afford that and would get my car off of there lot by the next day. They were not happy!! Then when I took it some place else to have it looked at,came to find out my starter was just fine! And my battery that I had installed 2 years ago is not the same battery I had put in 2 years prior! So they literally tried to screw me out of $1200 dollars and switched my battery which I'm assuming to make it look like it was a bad one! Soo being a single mom at Christmas time didn't mean crap to these people! They are as crooked as they come!! Luckily I was smart enough to get a second opinion and take my car elsewhere! I still cannot believe they tried to pull that crap with me!! Ladies especially...be careful who you trust!!

They don't tell you up front the hourly charge, any fees or that there is a large mark up on parts…read more This company has many departments. Rentals, auto repairs, tires, mowers, etc. They also have a plumbing company. We were in a bind because our plumber was ill and couldn't do our bath job that was in progress. Day one the plumber said he couldn't give us a price, would have to go back to his shop and work on it. During the job we asked 3 more times, and got the same response. He also informed us that if he didn't buy the parts that he couldn't guarantee his work. We should have taken that as a hint of what was to come. But this was our first remodeling job. We bought our own tub, sink etc. So all he had to buy was the pipes and all that go with that. The job was done but still no price. Finally got the bill after going out to the company, and it was too vague. All it said was Bath Remodel with a large amount due. He didn't remodel our bath, just did the pipes. I know that a breakdown for plumbers isn't common apparently, but we wanted one. My husband wasn't paying the high amount without a breakdown. After 3 more trips to their office, we finally got a breakdown. $140.00 per hour.... parts have approximately a 87% mark up to the best we can figure. Also, they charge you the fee for using a credit card. We don't recommend them neither will we use them for anything in the future. Lesson learned. Feels like a planned ripoff.. no price for the job up front or the hourly rate. All I can say good about the company was the guy at the front desk. He did what he could to help us.
