My car inspection was fast and simple! The man at the desk was chipper and pleasant. Great experience overall.

We went into Tire World of Corning because of a strange noise coming from the passenger side wheel…read morewell of my mother's car. Jack was able to pop the car up on a jack, trim the inner plastic that was rubbing against the wheel, and fix the plastic on the driver side as well all while my husband and I had a delightful meal over at Hand & Foot. Seriously, I wish we had some honest, reliable & professional mechanics like this in NYC. Can't recommend this place highly enough. If you want fast, honest and reliable work, this is the place!

BEWARE: Took our car to TIRE WORLD OF CORNING for a routine oil change on Thursday immediately…read moreafter which it started spewing oil all over the inside of the car (under the hood), etc. We were down a vehicle all weekend because the car was spitting and stuttering, etc. and wouldn't keep oil in it. We took the car back in to TIRE WORLD OF CORNING first thing this morning... They said it was a loose oil cap. They were rude, didn't apologize or compensate for the inconvenience. NOW the car still isn't running right... DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE!!! I looked over their reviews. Their numbers are good overall but the poor reviews say that they make big mistakes and do not own up to them. They become defensive and people have to spend double or triple the money to get things fixed correctly. Joe and I both had to work overnights all weekend. Joe picked up two doubles keeping nursing staff and patients safe while I work in ICU caring for patients. We do the best that we can. It is a real shame to see the lack of respect and decency as we both dragged our pale, exhausted bodies in to TIRE WORLD OF CORNING this morning still in our uniforms after working all night worried that there was something seriously wrong with our car and hoping to be treated with some level of honesty and decency. SHAME ON TIRE WORLD OF CORNING! Joe has already spoken to his security coworkers who said, "Where is that place?". And "I'll be sure never to go there!" And "They didn't compensate you for the trouble?!?! Oh HELL NO!". The word is spreading. Being rude and having poor business practices is a bad idea. Especially with me. I have a very big mouth and it is far reaching. Do not underestimate an exhausted bitch with nothing better to do. Especially this week. I am in NO MOOD to be disrespected. I've dealt with WAY TOO MUCH of that in my life already. I've been made to feel helpless and powerless.... NEVER AGAIN!!!! Again, DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLES TO TIRE WORLD OF CORNING located off Dennison Parkway... Unless you enjoy having your vehicle become a $20,000 paperweight. Extremely incompetent. DO NOT TAKE PRIDE ON THERE WORK! NOT A SPOT TO TAKE A AUDI

I'm disappointed that I have to write this, because when you find a shop you like, you stick with…read morethem. For about 6 years this was my go to place. I've had brakes done, oil changes (when I couldn't be bothered to do it myself), bought tires a few times and had those changed, inspections, and more. (I typically perform standard maintenance myself.) The employees and manager(s) were always fantastic and helpful. It was one of those places that said, "Hey your cabin filter's probably due for a change. If you want to do it yourself it's not hard, but we can do it for you for $X or Toyota might do it for free if you still have a maintenance plan with them." I used to work in my father's automotive and body shop and don't trust other ones easily but this is the type of response that makes me feel good about the place. The irony is that with this trust came recommendations. While they might not make bank on me, we've sent scores of people to them. However, today I brought in our two vehicles for inspection. I had called a few weeks before and the usual cheery voice got me on the schedule. As I've had simple issues before that would lead me to not pass, I checked the basics yesterday so i wouldn't have surprises today. After bringing in my first vehicle, I got a phone call saying that my car would need a new driver side wiper blade to pass as it was torn. I didn't mention the fact that I had checked it before bringing it in, assuming that the tech must have done it by accident. Also, it was raining the night before and I had rain on my windshield on the way there. I would notice if the blade tore off from the end on the way there. It wasn't that big of a deal though; the wiper was about 9 months old anyway. She asked if I wanted to replace the wipers for $50. Of course I asked if I could just run back over and put one on myself as I already had a set, and whoever called (I was told later it was the manager) said that would be fine. It's happened before and there was never an issue with this. (Again, it's why I checked the wipers before bringing it in.) I live about half a mile down the road and was there in less than 10 minutes. I walked over, changed the blade and walked in to have them finish up the paperwork. As an aside, the blade was torn inches (!) from the end, flapping in the breeze, so clearly not the way it was when I checked them the night before or when I used them on the way in. I was charged for the inspection and got my keys back. The person at the counter then asked what day and time I'd like to come back for a re-inspection since I had failed. That threw me for a loop. I explained the situation, and that it was only a driver side blade (probably torn by mistake) and that I was told on the phone I could just run over and replace it. He apologized and went to ask the manager and came back to apologize again and inform me that they'd be okay with fixing it right then, but that they'd still need to charge me for the "re-inspection." I think he could see how absurd it was and checked again. I paid because it wasn't worth asking him to go back a fourth time. I would understand if I failed for brakes or something more catastrophic and needed work done, but it was a wiper blade (that wasn't even torn when I brought it in). It truly feels as though it was done out of spite for me choosing not to pay for wipers when I already had new ones. Anyway, my wife decided she didn't want to have her car inspected there after that, and I agreed, so we canceled the appointment. We were also planning to get new tires for her car so opted out of that too. If the new management is going to be this petty and destroy the relationship, it's not worth going there anymore. There are plenty of other places around to try.
