It was the seal, etc. And this SUV was always kept in the garage. Had to take it back to Mavis 2 more time yet always with the same result - new tire flat within a day! Bad customer experience and extremely time consuming. But led me to the best car fixers around - Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers (they offer full service too). I discovered Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers on SR 64 East in Bradenton. I spoke to the crew and found out it was full service after I told them about the tire problems. I needed a new battery since it sat in the garage (me thinking it was ready to go-NOT). Same new tire, purchased at Mavis, was consistently flat within 24 hours. Express Oil Change even offered to come out and give me a jump and take it in to fix the new tire. But I used AAA and they dropped it off. The knowledge of the crew is top notch! They noticed other things that were wrong and after our conversation and estimate, fixed those too! And again, at a GREAT PRICE! It is FULL SERVICE, not only oil change and tires. Their expertise saved me tons of money and the their vast knowledge of cars is exceptional. Plus, they did it all in one or two days. Can't argue with that! Exceptional company and I will continue to take my cars there whenever I need anything! Check out their website as they have COUPONS too!!

I fully expected a large service charge. this is the third time they have worked on my car and they have always been thorough and work has been excellent. I was amazed when they told me everything was fine for the trip and charged me only for an oil change. I am an older woman and they could have easily done unnecessary work and I would never have questioned it. Their honesty and consideration for their customers is top notch. I would absolutely recommend them for tires and all auto services. R. Willard

After reading the reviews I called Shepherds and they said to come right in. They found a razor blade stuck in the tread but the cause of the leak was a damaged needle in the tire stem. They replaced the needle and did not charge me for their work. I just wanted to thank them publicly for their curteous and friendly service. I will be returning in the future for my vehicle maintenance.

Then we referred my mom, she had the same problem. They fixed something but she still had the same problem. So she had to bring it back twice. Most recently we took our car in to have the tie rod ends fixed. We got he car back with a very very VERY loud noise. We took it back and they denied the issue. At this point we asked for our money back and the owner got aggressive. Additionally they screwed up our lug nuts so we can't get our tires off. So now we have to repay to do their work and fix the lug nuts/bolts they destroyed. They started out ok, but went downhill fast. A shame because at first we thought they were trustworthy.
