    Had a great conversation with the guy at the front desk and payed like $40 for an oil change. I…read morewill def be coming back.

    Here's a clean, strong review version you can post:…read more Back at the beginning of February, we took my wife's SUV to Mavis Discount Tire in Vestal, NY for four new tires. They were the cheapest option we found at $850. While the vehicle was there, they told us a sway bar link was broken and charged an additional $250 to fix it. About a month later, the car started making a loud, obnoxious banging noise. It briefly went away, then came back again a couple of weeks later. We brought it back to Mavis because it seemed related to the repair they had done. They told us the part they installed had failed, but that it was covered under warranty. We picked the car up the following Friday, and the noise was still there. They then said their "mechanic" needed to look at it, but he wouldn't be in until Wednesday. After dropping it off again, they called and claimed the issue was a bad strut mount and quoted us another $1,250. Instead of moving forward with that, I took the vehicle to Weaver's in Owego for a second opinion. Within minutes, they found the real issue -- the sway bar was loose. The same part Mavis supposedly fixed. I brought the receipt from Weaver's back to Mavis and asked to be reimbursed for their improper repair. When I followed up days later, I was told they were "too busy" to look into it. After making it known in their waiting room what had happened, they suddenly refunded me $111 -- but then told me to "get the F out" and not come back. They failed to properly complete their own repair, misdiagnosed the issue, tried to upsell an unnecessary $1,250 fix, and handled the situation in an extremely unprofessional manner. I will never use Mavis again and strongly recommend others think twice before trusting them with their vehicle.
