Smetz's Tire came up and I gave them a call and was informed that early afternoons would be the best time of day for walk ins. That turned out to accurate info, as the work on our vehicle was able to done right away -- Not having to wait was much appreciated, BUT, what really impressed me was that the "reminder" sticker placed on my front window, once the work was completed, indicated the next recommended oil change was listed at a 7500 mile interval. That is the number that our car manufacturer recommends, but my previous quick oil change location had always recommended it be changed at 3500 miles. I raised concerns about that number with employees of that establishment, but was given some B.S. corporate answer -- So if you are looking for GREAT and honest car service, I suggest you check out Smet'z, in Ashland (OH).

I used to love going here, but under new management since Don retired, it's been nothing but…read moreissues. I am leaving negative reviews on any platform I can, because they need to make this right. Maybe some negative publicity will wake them up. I took my car in for new rack and pinion in power steering system. Also got new brakes in the process. Anyway, immediately upon picking it up after new rack and pinion, power steering failed a mile down the road. They took it back in and looked at it, replaced the pump. I had to leave it with them while I left for a business trip because they had to keep it overnight to replace the pump, waiting for a part to come in. Immediately upon my return, the vehicle had loud exhaust noise upon pickup. The exhaust was fine when I took it in, and I have documentation from them to prove such (see attached). I called them to schedule an appointment to look at the new exhaust issue. Upon taking it in today, 11/3/23, I showed them the paperwork where exhaust was fine when I dropped it off. When I showed the manager the paperwork and explained that something seemed to be amiss, she immediately became angry and said I was accusing her of purposely damaging my exhaust. Ultimately, words were exchanged, and she refused to look at it. I now have corporate involved waiting for a resolution to this issue. Bottom line, I've taken it in twice, and twice left with a car in worse shape. They are not taking accountability. An exhaust noise does not just magically appear when there was no noise prior or issue upon arrival to the shop. Mr. Tire, you've left me without a car several times. I've had to take time off from work, rearrange my schedule, and loan vehicles to make it to work when I couldn't be off.

They did the job but a week later when I put the rims back on my I had out of balance vibrations an called to see if they could check an see if the job was done right so I could determine if there was another issue . Long story short I was met with rudeness as soon as they answered an told me I would have to pay again for them to check their work !! I already paid $148 to just have tires put on rims an balanced which is way more than any other shop I have had tires installed at . Ended up having to pay another shop to do the work they were supposed to do . Idk what happened to backing up your work!!! This place definitely does not !!!!

So if you're thinking about getting one of these things done don't waste your money.

Called AAA and they tried to send another company tow truck out but I asked for Bates towing as well and their company tow truck came out in less than an hour, hooked it up and agreed they'd take a look at in on 10/19. The tow was on 10/18. We weren't sure when they would be able to get to the vehicle. This morning 10/19 we got a call telling us the starter was shot and a price for replacement. Before noon we got a call the car was done and my son could go out and pick it up. We're a couple hours away. I cannot recommend this business highly enough. From the gentleman who picked the van up to the guy who called this morning, friendly, professional, reasonable and fast. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

The driver was careful with my car, and he was very courteous and personable ... we had a good conversation on a whole range of topics as he took me and my car to a nearby repair shop. Turns out he's the third generation of this family-owned operation started by his grandfather. They have 12 different trucks, so they can handle a lot of different types of jobs. I'm hoping my car holds up and I won't need to use Bates again, but I would definitely recommend them for anyone in the Ashland area who needs a tow.
