    Officially am an ex- Les Schwab customer after being a loyal LS customer for over 40 years. I did…read morenot know Les Schwab has changed ownership over the years. The Les Schwab patriarch died, and it is not the same. Each time I come into the LS store for tires, their "bad news bear" salesperson comes out and informs me I need $2000+ "service" - brakes or a $1300 control arm replacement. I fell for the "you need brakes" for my 2006 Toyota 4 Runner and after the job the car just did not feel the same while driving. I took it back 2 mo later to LS and they said I needed control arm replacement. So I got a 2nd opinion at Lightning Lube and they found the CV joints badly damaged and in need of replacement. While doing that job, they discovered the 'new' calipers (which LS had alledgedly installed) were not new! While at LIghtning Lube, I met another disgruntled LS customer who was getting the work LS had done to his truck fixed and found the same scenario - the parts LS had charged him for and said they installed had not been installed! I escalated my complaint to corporate and that is when I discovered LS was sold out to some French corp. The corp guy did nothing for me. The local LS manager brought over a new caliper and Lightning installed it. My car runs great now and doesn't list to port. Seems you shouldn't trust anything LS says to you and go get a 2nd opinion before handing them $. I use Lighting Lube now. I use Gription Tire Pros for tire changes, they are slighlty cheaper, get the job done quick, and you don't have to deal with the "bad news bear" telling you there is something wrong with your car. Plus, I don't want LS purposefully screwing up my car just to get more money out of me in 2 months! Both Lightning Lube and Gription are awesome, great customer service and quick.

    FIRST, run from this business and its owner as fast as possible…read more DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE! If you read all of my YELP reviews, you will realize that 90% of them are positive. 4&5 Stars. I only leave a bad review like this one, when the public really needs to know how bad or dangerous someone is! To start with, I am the kind of person that is very easy going and I never get angry and I rarely ever raise my voice. When I find someone honest, I'll do business with them forever! I have a 2004 F-350 that I took to get repaired at this business. In the past 14 months, I brought the same truck here 3 times to have the 4x4 fixed. In total, I've spent over $4,000 at Gription Tire Pros on this problem. They have replaced (All the brakes, Calipers, pads, rotors, Upper and Lower Ball Joints, the wheel hub assembly, the Front axel U joint and seals.....etc, etc...)The 4x4 would engage, but it still made a horrible knocking sound whenever I tried to use it. My third visit to Gription to have them diagnose and fix the problem was two days ago. I worked with Tim, who seems like a really nice guy. Tim told me that the locking hubs needed to be replaced and that it would cost $818 and they needed to kept the truck overnight. I told him, I needed the 4x4 to work, so I approved the work and they did it. When I picked up the truck, I didn't test the 4x4 because it was late and I was going to be driving it on the highway to get home. (BIG MISTAKE) But, when I got home, I engaged the 4x4 and the same horrible knocking sounds were still there. This morning I took it back into them, but this time I was confronted by Jose, the owner. I told him the problem was still not fixed. We did a quick test drive in their parking lot and when he heard the knocking sounds, he put the truck in a stall and up on a lift. I was getting a little frustrated, but I politely asked Jose "Why didn't you guys do a quick test drive yesterday before telling me the problem was fixed"? Jose said "we wouldn't have replaced the locking hubs if they didn't need to be replaced". I said "Ok, but if you drove the truck 10 feet you would have realized the problem with the 4x4 was still not fixed and that's why I brought the truck in here." That was all it took for Jose to completely loose his cool! He said,"Get the Fuck out of my shop"!!! I was shocked that a simple, honest and legitimate question from a customer that has spent thousands of dollars in your business was meet by such anger. He came closer so no one could hear and said, "If you don't leave my shop I'll smash your scull with a wrench"! My truck was still on the lift so I couldn't leave. I walked into the lobby to wait and ask Tim for his opinion about my Truck and the situation. Jose pulled my truck out of the stall and followed me into the lobby. Ranting and yelling at me. The look on Tim's face and the girls working behind the counter was one of shock! I think they kept quiet, so not to get fired. Jose then pushed me out the front door and shut it in my face. I have no idea why he acted so violently and rudely to such a legitimate questions from a paying customer. Maybe it was the MAGA hat I was wearing? Anyway, I immediately drove down the street to Nelson Automotive repair. They diagnosed the problem, A worn out Front Drive Shaft Assembly. They ordered the part and installed it in under 2 hours while I waited. It cost $1,150 ($150 labor and $1,000 for the part) But, It fixed the problem and now the 4x4 works perfectly!!!! If you take the time to read Jose's responses to other unhappy customers, he always blames the customer and accuses them of lying! Don't be fooled by this maniac! Stay far, far away!!!!

    So about a year ago I had four of Gription's house brand (Hercules) tires installed and within the…read morefirst two months I had to replace three schrader valves (the little part inside the valve stem) because you could hear the air escaping whenever you removed the valve cap. Every week since purchase I have had to add air so today I returned to Gription to have them examine the tires. I asked a simple yes or no question as to the availability for service and was met with the most asinine, insanely rude, completely unprofessional people I have ever dealt with. These two women could not even answer a simple yes or no question without a barrel full of attitude! This is not a dive bar, it is a business! Stay far, far away from this place, spend your money elsewhere!!!!! Sorry that I had no option for zero stars because this place is completely screwed up!!!!

    Terrible Experience - Avoid Les Schwab in Kalispell, MT…read more I brought my Sprinter van to Les Schwab specifically for a front-end alignment and to replace my front tires, which were badly worn due to the alignment issue. Josh was my customer service rep. I dropped off the van on Wednesday, September 25, and the next day, Josh called to inform me that two of my rims were cracked. He said they might be replaced under warranty but that I would have to pay upfront and hope for reimbursement later, with no guarantee of getting my money back. No pictures were provided to verify the cracked rims before they sent them off to the manufacturer, leaving me with no way to confirm their claim. Josh also quoted me $411 per tire--a shocking $130 more than what I was quoted at Discount Tire. But it gets worse. A week later, Josh called again to say that my front brakes needed replacing for $920, which was $420 more than what I paid last time for the same service at a different shop. I declined because by then I was feeling completely taken advantage of. After two full weeks, I finally called to check on the van. When I went to pick it up on Wednesday, October 9, Josh apologized and informed me that they never completed the alignment--the entire reason I brought the van in--because it turns out their equipment couldn't handle the size of my vehicle. He admitted that he forgot to tell me, meaning my van had sat there for two weeks without the primary service being done! This entire experience was unacceptable. I honestly don't blame Josh personally--he's clearly trained and incentivized to gouge customers instead of providing quality service. The manager, Todd, stepped in to "fix" the problem by not charging me for the wheels they were going to get reimbursed for anyway. This is not how a reputable business should operate. I strongly urge anyone needing car service to avoid Les Schwab in Kalispell at all costs. Their pricing is outrageous, communication is terrible, and their service is a joke. Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere--this place is as shady as it gets!
