Note that this review was after my first visit, and it was only for an inspection. It's great to see people's reviews here who've been going to Jim's Discount Tire & Brake for 10+ years because really, the test of a good auto shop is whether they give you consistently good service and prices for a number of different types of repairs.
However, my experience was stellar. Like other's have set, it's in a difficult spot to pull up - you have to park on the street if there's a space, but if not I recommend double parking in front of their white garage door (assuming someone else isn't already there) and going in to check in. They'll let you know what to do.
I did just that, and they said they would be done with someone else in about two minutes and if I went to sit in my car they'll pull me in. That's exactly what happened! The Staff was super super friendly (and even called me ""MIss"" - not ""Ma'm!"" Woohoo!) and helpful and I was in and out of there lickety split (about 10 minutes - probably would have been quicker if they hadn't had to replace two of my brake lights that were out). As I waited I consulted with them about a dealer-based maintenance plan I'd been doing for the first 6 years of car's life and was thinking about switching to a local plan. They were super honest and nice, and went through everything really clearly with me.
For inspections and they are first come first served Monday through Friday 7am-5pm and Saturdays from 8:30am to 1:30pm. However, because I needed the lights replaced which was an additional $20, they offered to put the whole thing on a credit card for me.
Thanks Jim's Discount Tire & Brake! You've grabbed yourself another customer :)
