"Went there for one thing then it became something that was in total over 1k. The place is expensive and everything is very overpriced. I ended up fixing everything I wanted to fix my buying the parts myself and giving it to another mechanic. All cost me less than $400 "

Response from the shop

"Greetings! Sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with us. We work very hard to price ourselves to the market place and feel we are competitive. Your solution is just not one we are compared to compete with but we're glad you solved your issue and would love another crack next time at helping you out. Thanks."

"Bob, Megan and the team at Direct Tire performed a service on my BMW. They gave me a loaner car for the day - very convenient as I had meetings I had to keep. They provided updates throughout the day on their progress. And called when it was time to pick it up. Overall a wonderful experience. Car is running like a top. Thank you Direct Tire! "

2012 Kia Forte
"Service is great! Would be nice if the mechanic can do a walk through afterwards as the replacement tire does not look new to me."
2007 Subaru Outback
2007 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
"Very pleased with the service at Direct Tire. They provided me with a loaner car for the day - I received a text message letting me know when the service was completed. Car is running great. Highly recommend Direct Tire for any mechanical repairs and tires. "
2007 Toyota Prius
"Shop moved around their schedule to accommodate a time change. Everyone was very professional. I didn't realize I'd be waiting for 2 hrs when I booked but that probably wasn't the shop's fault. "
2005 Mazda 6
2002 BMW M5
"Bob did a great job of identifying the issue with my car. Before he presented options to address the issue, he asked a series of great questions about my future plans for the vehicle. Afterward, he presented available options with costs and timeframes for each. Once I gave him the go-ahead, my car was serviced and I was on my way. Car is running great. Direct Tire did a great job and I would highly recommend them for service on any type of vehicle. "
2002 BMW M5
"Bob Lane did a great job at evaluating my car and making recommendations after I brought it in for service. The team at Direct Tire did an outstanding job servicing my car. It runs great and handles well. I highly recommend Direct Tire for any service on any vehicle - they do it all. "
"The Best of the Best! I would highly recommend Direct Tire to anyone looking to receive great service! I tried two other tire dealers for the tire I was looking for with no success, called Direct Tire and the associate was able to find my tires and set up an appointment for the following week. Yes we have the world of on-line but when you get genuine Great live customer service this is where you want to spend your money! You Rock Direct Tire well done!!"
"Excellent service. Did not have specific appointment time for same day but asked me to drop my car off and they would try to get it aligned by 5pm. I received a call to pick up the car at noon. Was my son’s Jeep which had just had major suspension work done for off road use; not simple adjustment. Not only is the steering dead on perfect but they also provided a computer rendering showing the before and after calibration. Most informative and reassuring. 5 stars, highly recommended"
"You can't actually step inside at this time because of covid-19. So they're keeping the customers healthy in that respect but it makes doing business with them very difficult. The prices for storing winter tires are pretty high. Close to $20 a month. But it's still a great place to buy tires, and they will rotate your tires for free which is very nice."
"This is a great outfit to deal with. They were prompt, friendly, courteous, clean, gave me a loaner car for the day, fair in pricing and honored their coupon. What more could a person ask for? I will definitely go back again for service and recommend them to anyone else."
"Just had my winter tires installed and my regular tires put in their storage. They check the brakes and gave me a video showing me that everything was fine. I’ve been doing business with Direct Tire for almost 40 years and they are superb!"
