This is the place I bring my car for all normal maintenance, not just tires. They treat me like family and I am very comfortable doing business with them. As a single woman, sometimes auto repair places try to take advantage. That has not been the case here. They've earned my loyalty as a customer.

I went there in the summer to get a trailer wheel mounted (which they didn't carry) and they didn't…read morecharge me. I thought that was awfully cool so I went back to have the summer rims and tires on my Gladiator switched to the stock set up. Everything went well, the mechanic that did it was very courteous and told me that the bolts that I switched would work but if I had a stock set to bring them in and they'd switch them. I simply forgot, my bad. When the young man who assisted in putting the summer set in the truck bed pulled it out of the bay I asked him if he'd like to make a quick twenty for helping unload them at my house. I just had back surgery less than two months ago and I'm still on a lifting restriction. He said sure so I gave him my address and said I'd look for him after he finished his day. Half way home I remembered that I forgot my water bottle so I called to ask him to bring it with him. First of all, when you call the local number you get a national call center. Not knowing you can press 2 to reach the store immediately I got to sit on hold, ask for the Saginaw Bay road store, no, I don't need to schedule an appointment just transfer me, thanks. The phone rings and another male answers. I ask for the young man who was going to help me and instead handing him the phone I'm asked why I need to speak to him. I explained I left my water bottle and since he was coming by... "Okay...hold on." Long pause... The next thing I hear is the manager, I ask for the young guy and again get asked what it concerned. None of your business really but I'm sure your co-worker told you. (Thus the long pause) She said that it was just "unusual" and I told her that it was more unusual for two people to screen a grown man's phone calls. She then said it was against company policy for an employee to work on a vehicle outside of work. Well, he was just taking tires out of a truck bed and stacking them in my garage. If he was doing a valve job she'd have a point. All this for just trying to help a young guy earn some extra holiday cash because I physically couldn't lift something myself. So I'll be calling the corporate office on Monday to make sure there's no petty retribution for him trying to help a disabled veteran. When I asked for the corporate phone number she put me on hold for ten minutes. (What a professional) When I finally hung up and called back her excuse was they were "very busy." There was one customer waiting when I left, and they closed in a half hour. To the store manager, get over yourself. You run a tire shop. Take the corporate robot bolt out of your neck and simply hand him the phone. This is why people don't get along, because power hungry, petty people like you have to be in everyone's business. Take a second and check yourself. At the end of the day your power goes no farther than the walls of the building you work in. Be a leader, not a sycophant. It'll get you much farther in life.

My two main concerns were price as well as turnaround time. The dealer was quoting at least 3 days and I'm just out of warranty so I get that I'm not exactly going to be a VIP customer. It was a Wednesday morning and I had plans for Friday afternoon. The man that answered told me to bring it in and he'd let me know. I had rear brakes, rotors and a caliper replaced all for a decent price. He also was able to complete it the same day. That was the most exciting part for me. They also do a typical check of all your fluids and topped off my oil. It is safe to say that I have found a go-to place in the Saginaw area.

I went there to have an unusual noise checked out. I felt that paying him, $90, for his time and effort was a good decision. As it turns out.....NOT a good decision at all! He diagnosed the noise as the flywheel between the engine and transmission needing to be replaced. In addition, he also listed his needed repairs that were unrelated to my concern. They were axles, steering linkage and suspension parts, and an oil change. He gave an estimate of $3,086 for the cited repairs and I just had the oil changed 1 month ago. I was not told that he would be publicizing my vehicle's VIN and the cited repairs online for anyone (including car dealers) with access to Car-fax to see. When you go to trade in your car or truck after Dale Stroebel gives you an estimate, even if he does not do any work on your car, this information will be published! He told me this after the fact, and after I had visited a car dealership. There was no up front disclosure regarding his use of the information that he gleaned by inspecting my car.
