Default Looking for new tires and mechanical work
I tried searching for a good tire place that also did maintenance work on cars on this forum but couldn't find the thread. Someone had inquired about where to buy tires and several recommended an independant tire and mechanic shop nearby the villages. Very good reviews. Anyone remember or can recommend one?

Just last week had 4 new tires and a lot of mechanical work done on my '08 Ford Escape by Sumter Tire in Wildwood. Have been going there since '08 and have always been satisfied. At 100,000+ miles on the Escape, its running like a new car, will last another 100,000???? Hope so.

Try them, you'll like them.

I have used both Wildwood Tire and Sumter Tire for my BMW and Nissan.. They don't try to upcharge as some local tire outlets do..

We have used Wildwood Tire on several occasions and we were very impressed by them.

We've always used Sumter Tire in Wildwood on 301. Always performed good work and never tried to sell us things we never needed.

Thank you for all the replies. I'm always weary of getting ripped off or having some shop attempt to rip you off and getting aggrivated and leaving. Thanks again.

Sam's Club is a good choice for tires.

Avoid tire choice at Colony. They will rip you off.
