American Tire and Service

I went there because my undercarriage was knocking and the tires were feeling weird they would click and such. Thinking they specialize in tires OK A MASTER MECHANIC takes my car for a test drive. When he returns he diagnosed my car to having a bad transmission and therefore the knocking is from the transmission. They give me estimate well over the value of my car over 2000 for a new transmission. I kept asking did he look at the wheels? the tie rod? they said they lifted and checked the tires. OK I TRUSTED them. Continued to drive it and guess what!! Less than a few days later my tire nearly falls off only one lug nut was holding it to my car. I had 3 broken tire stems and all my lug nutz except the one remained. I took it to a Mitsubishi mechanic and he replaced all 5 tire/wheel stems and replaced all my lug nuts he then drove it and did a diagnostic and everything was fine. My wheel barring hums but that because they are getting old. But no more knocking or clicking. My car is back to the way it was. A SIMPLE FIX!!! Transmission is fine!! He did say my Tie rod needs replacing but he said Your lucky that nothing else broke and its very bad that they could have fixed this if they just took off the wheel/tire!! So, I go back to American Tire and they asked the Master Mechanic if he took the wheels off he replied NO... mind you they told me they lifted the car and they charged me for the diagnostic test which was not even right! They gave me my refund and apologized but I stated ""How can you miss something like that when.. You guys are a TIRE SHOP and you specialize in tires and wheels!!!"" Hopefully no one ever goes through this but I returned to let them know they had my situation all wrong and they need to pay attention!! Sadly I will never return there I used to get my oil changes there and I used to buy my tires from them. I am unsure if they were more focused on getting me to buy a new transmission then working on such a small problem!! BEWARE people this is my experience! more

I have been a customer of American Tire for several years now. They are honest, dependable, and reasonable. I trust them with all my cars more

I went to this place before because of a antifreeze leak and they gave me a list of problems that was wrong with my car. Then charged me a arm and leg to get it fixed. Like an idiot I went over there again to see what was wrong with my car and they told me there was no oil in it. So they charged me $150 bucks just to tell me that crap. Don't go to these people. They are the type of people you see/that would get caught scamming people if investigated by a major news company. DON'T GO!!!!!! more

i went in for some minor work since it was close to my house. They came back with a laundry list of things including a new transmission. I had no problems with my transmission. The came back with a bill close to $5,000. I said that I didn't believe my car needed al that work and wanted my keys back. I got in my car to leave but didn't leave since my car was making a noise that wasn't there before I had them evaluate. What a might mare. I then asked for the manager or owner to call me so this could be documented and no one would contact or take my calls. BEWARE, BEWARE of this place. This was a horrible experience of robbery and unprofessionalism. I heard bad story's and can now confirm with my own unfortunately. more

American Tire and Service has been my mechanic, and now the mechanic for all 4 of my grown children, since 2002 or 2003. They have been really good to all of us. I love Doug and Jerry. They are also my accounting clients, and they are great. They are so honest. I came from Santa Fe and had gone through a million mechanics. I didn't have anybody that I felt I could call in an emergency and trust. I show dogs, and I was headed out for a dog show when my check engine light came on. I was about an hour and a half away from American Tire, but I drove all the way back there rather than go to another mechanic. They are so honest. In my experience they do really good work at a reasonable price. more

I have been a customer of American Tire and Service since before they moved to their current location between 3 and 5 years ago. I have only great things to say them. They are an ethical company and they treat their customers, associates, and employees very well. And, I think that is the basis of their success. They treat people fairly and honestly. The work is warrantied and their mechanics are certified. I have nothing bad to say. They are always fair. more
