Okay this is another business that I am at very frequently that I can't believe I have not yet left a review. I have been going to this particular Firestone location for years with multiple vehicles and I have to say that Carmine is one of the most honest mechanics I have ever met.
A lot of people have an opinion of Firestone and various other car repair places as being rip off joints and a lot of them are. Before I found this particular location I used to go to other places and literally be afraid that they're going to come out and say oh you need a new Johnson rod or something of that nature because every time you take a car to one of these places they find something else wrong with it that you did not know about. This place is not like that.
I drive approximately 100,000 miles a year for my job, and my wife does very close to that as she does the same. I purchase minimally four to five sets of tires per year from Firestone and have my brakes done, oil changes every month, and various other repairs that you wouldn't really think a firestone could handle like for example they replaced an axle on a Honda Civic for me. Most people think they just do oil and tires but you'd be surprised.
I'm not going to say that they are especially inexpensive or anything however I probably get a little better deal than some because of the frequency that I'm in there and the money that I spend. They do stand behind everything they do and if you're not happy with something that they have done and you go back in there and politely explain it to them it will be fixed.
They also offer a Firestone credit card which will give you 6 months same as cash on any purchase I believe over $250. This comes in very handy for people that may not have the money laying around for a set of tires that they really just need. I do strongly recommend however that you keep a good eye on this as if you go over the 6 months and your balance is not paid in full all the interest that would have accumulated will suddenly become due. The interest rate on this card is rather scary so you really don't want that to happen.
No I know this doesn't really belong on a review for Firestone however I feel I need to add that if you do leave your car here to have work done on it and you are waiting for it, the waiting area is just about as boring as you can probably imagine however about a half a block away is Chris's diner. I'm pretty sure I have reviewed them before and if not I will soon because they rock. read more
