Review

I visited this center March 26th with my dump trailer. While there I picked up dozens or nails with orange tops (roofing nails I believe) in all my tires. This required me to replace all 4 of my truck tires and all 4 trailer tires. They were not repairable due to how many nails there were and the punctures in the shoulder of tires where you can't repair. I filed a claim and sent in pictures and invoices video etc. As I expected they denied the claim and won't do anything about it. This place and their employees are negligent. I have now hired an attorney and will pursue legally out of principal. Dont use this place unless you want to spend 3k or more on a bunch of tires lol

Easy in and out. Residential service was $20.00. The folks at the drive-thru were kind and considerate. I’ve complaints about tires being punctured. Thankfully it didn’t happen to me. It seems the drive in and out are spotless as was the area inside. Maybe those are older reviews. All in all I like this place.
