    Perfect shop for dropping off a tire to be replaced but i wouldn't have them doing real work. They…read moredo a vehicle inspection and try to upsell you on things, they told me i needed new valve cover gaskets when it's actually a leaking high pressure diesel line leading to the injector, a $1000 "repair" that wouldn't have fixed the problem. I was recommended an oil change because of "leaking" valve cover gaskets even though i did one 500 miles ago. I only use OEM filters and oil and they wanted to use Napa Gold. Told me i needed new wipers for $180, $500 for a battery, and $100 air filter that had 10k miles on it. I came in for 3 tires and alignment don't start taking stuff apart and trying to upsell me on stuff and not use OEM parts. 3 stars because the guy at the front of the house is nice and they do nice work on tires.

    I can't say enough good things about Castle Rock Auto Repair. My wife and I were on a road trip…read morefrom out of state and had the misfortune of getting a flat tire on Mt Rainier. Had to put on one of those miniature spare tires and drive to the first repair shop we could find, almost 70 miles away. When I walked in we were greeted by Andy, the nicest and most polite mechanic ever. With no waiting at all he fixed the tire and replaced out the donut spare on the car. It was less than 1/2 hour and the tire was fixed and the car ready to go. Then came the bill, $21! What a pleasant surprise as I was expecting a lot more. Go nowhere else if you live in this area or are passing through and need tire work or auto repair. I wish I had a auto service shop like this near me. A big thumbs up for Andy and Castle Rock Auto Repair.

    T & T Tire - Scratch from tie rod impact

    Went in for alignment with all new suspension and steering rack. They attempted and reported inner…read moretie rods on the new rack were too long. I cut 1/2 inch of each side. They left my wheel well plastic unfastened which I ran over and ripped off, plus got grease on the brand new carpet (and I let ALL of that slide) I returned for 2nd alignment adding mount and balance of my $5k wheels using their "touchless service". Upon second alignment, they discovered they were unscrewing the rack the whole time. It never needed cut but "they usually don't check that." During the mount and balance, after watching every tech oogling and handling my wheels, I asked Rick again the protocol of their touchless method in which he had to go out and inform the techs that they need to stop. (Quoted protocol was only 2 techs are approved to do it, they'll review the wheels with the customer for damage prior to working on them, the touchless machine won't damage them. And I pay more for the service.) They did not review them with me. They scratched the center bore and cooling fins, then Rick argued that it can't happen "it never gets touched, there's no way" "I'm telling you, nothing and nobody touched the wheel" that's why it's a touchless service" I asked to see the machine, in which I quickly identified what caused it... The conical mount, in which his tune changed to, "oh, well, that's the only spot." I understand something has to hold it, but they should communicate the hazard risks I also let that slide. Then upon attaching the aero discs, they cracked all 4 and chipped 1. And to top it off, the tie rods were on the wrong sides, so it impacted the wheel ripping off the balancing weights. (I didn't even hold that against them cause they didn't install them but some say, since they're the professionals, they should have caught it.) No one in the office communicates with each other Rick quoted the protocol, the guy next to him made the appointment, and neither informed the techs unboxing the wheels to what service. They're friendly, but they're far from professional and it cost me a 1/300 set of wheels. If you care like I do, find somewhere else.

Deliberately destroying a customer's verification marks to cover up questionable work is childish, dishonest, and unacceptable. The technicians made the entire shop look dishonest. I will not be returning. Full Review: I really wanted to support this business...the front desk staff has always been kind and professional, but the lack of care and deceptive behavior from the mechanics on my recent visit (09/01/2026) completely broke my trust. The entire reason I switched to T and T Tire was because my previous dealership failed to rotate my tires properly, causing uneven tread wear. Ironically, it was a member of T and T's front desk staff who originally suggested I mark my tires to verify the rotations. During my visit for an oil change and rotation, the tires were once again not rotated correctly for my vehicle type. This was the same issue I had during my last visit with T and T Tire. While waiting for them to correct it, I walked over to place something in my vehicle, only to find my glove box completely taken apart and left sitting on the passenger-side floor. Despite this, I remained pleasant and understanding with the front desk, acknowledging it was near the end of the day and that everyone makes mistakes when tired. The front desk staff was visibly embarrassed and frustrated on my behalf, apologizing for the lack of attention to detail in the shop. The breaking point happened when they brought the vehicle out the second time. Every permanent marker line on my tires had been deliberately scrubbed off. You could clearly see the wipe marks where each indicator had been removed. I had driven on those bold markings for miles, and they were completely intact after the first service. Instead of completing the job properly and allowing me to verify the work, the technicians chose to wipe off the marks so I couldn't confirm whether the tires were ever actually rotated. The front desk staff shouldn't have to carry the burden of mechanics who cut corners and compromise the shop's integrity. The front desk staff was visibly mortified by the mechanics' behavior, even venting out loud: "They find new ways to make us look stupid every day! This is ridiculous!" He was absolutely right. Everyone makes mistakes, but going out of your way to wipe off a customer's verification marks to hide whether the work was done is shady and unacceptable. Had they simply reattached the glove box, completed the rotation, and returned the keys with accountability, I would have gladly remained a customer. Deliberately destroying a customer's verification marks to cover up questionable work is childish, dishonest, and unacceptable. The technicians made the entire shop look dishonest, and I will not be returning.

    We needed tires for our travel trailer. After checking with Les Schwab, we priced the same tires…read moreat STS and decided this was the place we'd get the new tires. To begin with, we could get in 2 hours earlier and on our way sooner. Fella at the counter told us we could have them installed when they opened a 7am and be on the road shortly after. Well, we arrived at 7am and the alleyway where we needed to pull in was blocked with their trucks. It took about a half an hour to get all the trucks moved out of there and for us to pull in. The young man who installed our tires was friendly, efficient and did a fast job. It took another half an hour to get those tires on. We would definitely stop by here first if we need tires in the future ... but might wait until 7:30 before we arrived.

    After using this business and being pleased with their service, especially the Service Writer,…read moreAndres. I returned for a transmission flush and two tires. What troubled me was seeing my car being driven away by a mechanic. I asked Andres why this occurred, and he said "I have no idea. I will ask him." The manager, Kathy/Cathy came out and tersely told me that the mechanic was doing a "Test drive" and that they do this before and after they work on a car. That is nonsense! I have had tires put on, brakes done, and fluid changes before but there was never a test drive. And Kathy/Cathy was quite "Snappy" with me because I saw my car being driven away. The gentleman who I was working with, Andres, didn't know why the mechanic drove away, and next, I was being fed a line of B.S. Superior Tire has lost my business and that of two associates who referred me to Superior Tire. I cannot, in good faith, recommend this business.
