Went in for a tire rotation and to fix a flat. The got the job done in 40 minutes and put my spare back up our vehicle. Can't beat their service and price. Thank you.
Ottumwa, IA
Just in for quick top off of nitrogen for my tires. Very reasonable price and friendly customer service. Would seek for a tire repair in future if needed. July 2025: Lost tire to close to edge for repair from puncture. Able to obtain same tire within two business days. Mounted and returned very quickly. Not big fan of debit and credit card fees passed onto the customer. Those are fees you can write off on taxes. Thanks for the great service again.
