I agree. But, I had a 13-year old AWD Mercury Mariner that I traded in for my current vehicle. It ran fine and I never changed any fluids except motor oil. Although, it did only have 80K miles.

I thought I read here at one time people were happy with their service.

I did a search here with no luck.

Cheers!
I’ve used them. I was pleased. They have a high reputation in the area for best prices and service.

Default Mechanical Ripoffs

Tire Choice is probably the worst choice in this area. If your car stops running in front of their locations, call a tow truck!

Any experience you have had with that kind of service?
Sounds like you own a truck. If so, check out Southern Diesel and auto repair in Lake Panasoffskee??

In Va dealt with a chain called Merchants Tire for many years. Found them to be very honest.

They were bought out by Tire Kingdom and suddenly they were pushing all kinds of services and additives. Within a year we went elsewhere and will probably never deal with a chain again.

Sumter Tire has been a good choice for us

Apparently, Tire Kingdom has more than 700 stores. Why would a company that large be satisfied to have an "F" rating with the BBB, and hundreds of customer complaints that were not properly resolved? Who would want to buy a franchise from them? Very strange.

In reviewing the BBB website, Tire Kingdom and Mavis appear to be the same company. Same rating and same number of complaints.

Default Re Tire Kingdom

It never ceases to amaze me, you ask a question about a specific company, and people are more than willing to recommend other companies but very few answer the question. Having read all these replies are you any wiser, well now you have a plethora of auto mechanics to choose from so I guess you'll have to take them one by one and ask the same question. maybe when you ask that question someone will recommend tire kingdom.

Did you read Post No. 2? Would you do business with a company that has an "F" rating with the BBB and hundreds of complaints? I wouldn't.

If you come here at all you will realize answers go beyond what the OP has asked often with good info
