Needed a quick flat repair- discount tire down the street quoted me a 2 hour wait, drove over to Tire Choice and they fixed it immediately. Helpful and friendly and didn’t overcharge me. Great guys and would go back for any issues!
Right off the bat I knew this place was going to be amazing as soon as Andre the manager picked up the phone. He was so quick to help me find the right tires for my Elantra N line. At first, I was afraid to call around as I’ve been taking advantage of by male managers over pricing tires, but he gave me the best price. I just had to find a way to get my new set of tires as it was important for me and the safety of my baby. I also had an alignment done to my car which was much needed Since I’ve drove over many curbs - now my car drives straight. The employees were so sweet and funny and Andre worked with me as I was on a tight budget, but got me top performance tires at a great price. Thank you so much for helping me. Also they had a tv in the waiting room which they let me watch whatever i pleased. That’s pretty awesome. TYSM
I only wish I had more brakes that needed to be repaired so I’d have another excuse to go back to this place. Not only was it an consistently positive and professional experience — it was one of those rare moments when a simple car repair turns into a reminder that kindness still exists in the world. Not kidding. From every touch point with the employees I worked with - they all seemed to genuinely be leading with kindness. I came in as a complete stranger, concerned about the way something had been handled at another brake repair shop. The manager (Andre) listened patiently, took one look at the problem, and immediately said, “We’re going to fix this — and we're not going to charge you.” I was blown away. No attitude, no sales pitch — just genuine integrity and generosity. He talked to me about where this kind of gesture comes from in him, and it was a definite learning moment for me, as I am also in sales. They didn’t just fix my brakes; they restored my faith in what customer service can be at a car place. I walked in expecting another transactional experience and walked out feeling like I’d made a friend in the business. If you’re looking for a place that does the job right and treats you like family, this is it. FYI - the original shop that did the brake job in questions, also part of this same company, were also great. What happened that lead to the need to re-do the work was understandable and I felt like they too stepped up to help rectify the issues. All around, the parent company - Monro, Inc. - seems to really be doing something right to have their leadership teams lead with such integrity!
Tire Choice is hands down the best tire company I’ve ever worked with. There was a mild malfunction with one of my tires for my car after I got them replaced. I needed the issue fixed asap because I had an event I needed to attend to that was out of town that same night. Despite the store closing at 6pm, Andre and Evan, from the kindness of their hearts stayed back an entire hour and a half after closing hours to wait for me to arrive with the tow truck. They immediately went straight to work and my issue was resolved in less than 20 minutes. Truly appreciate these guys and their service, there’s not many that will do that for you. Definitely will return for all further incidents I might have in the future.
Ever since Kevin left, this place has just gone downhill… I brought my Truck into the shop in the middle of March to get a diagnostic done because it was having issues starting. My truck is a Toyota Tundra and the shop employee (Cory), recommended his coworker (Joe), to diagnose the car because he was familiar with Toyotas. A few hours after I ubered home from the shop, Joe calls me to tell me my truck is fixed. Upon returning, he says that the issue occurred because I had changed out my battery a couple months prior, and in doing so I had short circuited the aftermarket security system inside that tells the car when it is in park. So in order to fix the problem, Joe ripped out the security system located under the steering wheel. When I first got into the truck, I noticed the traction control light was on. I asked Joe why it was doing that, and he said it must have tripped a sensor but another shop could turn it off for me. Then he says that since I am a return customer, he won’t even charge me for what he did! As you can imagine, I was pretty happy at first thinking my Truck was fixed. Well it wasn’t an hour into driving that I looked down and noticed the plastic covering under my wheel was broken. A few minutes after that, a guy driving next to me tells me my break lights aren’t working and to get off the road. I then drove straight to the Toyota dealership to see what was wrong. The dealership told me that when Joe had cut out the security system, he also cut my break light wires in the process. In addition he broke my plastic covering exposing all the wires. The cost to fix the Damage was over $900. At first, the dealership did not want to handle fixing the damage Tire Choice caused, so I drove back to Tire Choice. I met again with Joe, who said he would get the plastic piece ordered for me and fix everything he damaged when it arrives. Well after 2 weeks, the piece still never arrived and I never got a call to come back in. So I drove back to Tire choice to find Joe, but he wasn’t there. Cory told me to come back the following week when he would be back from a vacation. When I came back, still no sign of Joe. This continued on for a while causing me to have to wait weeks to get my car fixed. (Which I need to drive for work). So it was pretty frustrating not being able to fix it for weeks. It also cost me a lot of money. Finally, Cory tells me I should have it fixed at the Dealership and that the corporation that owns Tire Choice (Monro) would reimburse me. So I called Monro and asked them to help me with what happened. They ask me to send them an email with the details and receipts for what I spent to have the Truck fixed, Then tell me to expect a call in 24-48hrs. Well.. after over a week, still no call. So I call back, and they say they need to reach Joe to get his input before they can review the case. Well after weeks of calling every day, they cannot get ahold of Joe. How is it that a corporation cannot get ahold of their own employee? Finally, after getting so fed up with the excuses that they can’t reach him, I go into the shop myself, find Joe, and I ask him to wait there as I call the corporation so he can tell them what he did. All he had to do was tell them so I could get reimbursed, it wouldn’t have affected him. Well instead, he gets up, yells at me saying he won’t talk to anyone and then he runs out of the shop like a coward and hops in his car and says sorry he is going to lunch and drives off. As you can imagine, I am boiling now. The corporation then calls the shop again. After an hour on hold, she then tells me that some other employee answered the phone and told her that JOE QUIT! And without an invoice number (since Joe never charged me for damaging my car), she can’t do anything. She then says she will get the manager to try and approve it and they will call me back in 48hrs. Well, it’s been 2 weeks again and still no call. It’s at the point where I have to either sue them or just lose my money. Hope this helps.
