    Damaged wheel Bearing with drill Bit inside of it.

    Mavis Tire Review I brought my car to this Mavis location for what started as a simple flat tire. I ordered a full set of new tires and an alignment. Since I noticed they also do suspension work, I asked the manager if they could install a new suspension I had recently purchased. He said yes, explaining that they just wouldn't warranty the parts since I provided them -- which is completely understandable. I agreed to the work, and was told the car would be ready the next day. The following day, they called to say their ball joint press was down and they'd have to do the job manually, so it would take an extra day. The next day, they told me they couldn't complete the ball joints at all and that I needed new upper control arms. I bought the parts myself from Advance Auto and Ubered them over. The manager promised the car would be finished the next day. When I came back, the manager told me everything was done except that the ABS light wouldn't turn off -- they might have damaged an ABS sensor and would need another day. This was the only time they apologized and covered my Uber home. The next day they said the car was ready, so I picked it up and paid. I didn't get more than 10 feet before the ABS system started violently triggering on and off. I immediately went back inside. The manager admitted again they might have damaged an ABS sensor and promised to replace it. After several more days, they replaced one sensor, but the car was still undrivable. The ABS and VSA systems would activate violently whenever I touched the brakes. Over the next several visits -- spanning roughly ten days -- they kept the car, replaced more sensors, and eventually told me the brakes just needed to be bled. I picked it up the day before a work trip, and within one minute of driving, the same issue returned. When I called, they admitted they couldn't fix the problem and promised to cover the cost if another shop repaired it after my trip. A week later, I returned and called to speak with the manager, only to find out he had quit (or been fired). The new manager, Jaleel, said he knew nothing about the agreement and refused to pay for outside repairs, insisting I bring the car back to them. So, I did -- for the fifth or sixth time. After another week, they told me it was fixed. They had replaced two more sensors and now claimed the issue was my battery (which was fine). When I went in, the new manager blamed me for all the problems, saying it was because I brought my own parts. I explained that the previous manager approved the job and that the shop had already admitted to damaging my car. He continued to argue and blame me in front of other customers, refusing to take responsibility and even refusing to give me a copy of the work performed. At that point, I took my car to the independent shop the previous manager had originally recommended -- on my own dime. That shop found multiple damaged wheel bearings and even discovered broken drill bits left inside two of them, rolling around near the wheel sensors. They said it was one of the wildest things they had ever seen. These were the original bearings, so the damage clearly came from Mavis's work. The new shop repaired everything, and the car now drives perfectly. In total, I spent nearly $4,000, went 6-7 weeks without my car, and spent hundreds more on Ubers back and forth to Mavis. Bottom line: This Mavis location -- especially under the new manager -- is completely unprofessional. The previous manager at least took accountability and tried to make things right. The new one just blamed me and refused to help. Unless you're getting something simple like a tire change, avoid this Mavis at all costs. They will lie, damage your car, and refuse responsibility. Currently Mavis corporate is doing an "investigation" into the matter. Has been 6 weeks up to this point and nothing so far I've attempted to contact the regional manger multiple times with just a response of "the investigation is on going". Their quality guarantee is questionable and this point. If you want real service from honest mechanics, go to Frank's Auto down the road. They're busy, but they know what they're doing and actually treat customers with respect.

    When they "fixed "

    Absolutely not If I could give zero stars I would.I got my tire plug there and drove to work witch is 15 min away . Tire was flat in less than 30 min.

    grace n.

    Manager Rob and Matt on his team run the place , taking care of every single customer. The Mavis company needs to take better care of them. They made sure I was left satisfied with the work and did what I requested.

    Today is 2/12/2024-The day before one of the biggest expected snowstorms to hit Boston for the…read morefirst time in the year 2024. And, I'm glad I decided to get tire services at Pep Boys in the Everett, MA location.  For starters I'd like to thank Gregory V. for his outstanding dedication in customer service, he demonstrated that he is knowledgeable of all the products, he is a man of integrity that shows he stands behind his product and the phenomenal customer service. Greg's transparency allowed me to have full trust in him and Pep Boys. I can reassure you that I will be a long-term loyal customer from this day forward with Pep Boys and that Everett, MA location specifically.  Before arriving at Pep Boys I spent a week shopping around. I looked into every tire company in the North Shore. I shopped online and called many locations to try and get the best value. A majority of the other competitors had long phone wait times, were unhelpful and directed me back to their site which can be overwhelming.  I called the Everett, MA location at 4:53 PM and spoke to Greg. The first thing I said to him was: "I've been shopping around for tires as a gift for my Mother's birthday, and I have no knowledge about what are the best tires that are suitable for her vehicle. I have had no luck with other sellers." I would say that my voice was rather desperate for some answers. His tone was very warm, and patient. Instantly, I felt a sense of ease and was easily able to ask all the questions I had and by the end of the 20 minute call I had a good sense of the tire I would be looking to purchase. I asked if I would be able to get seen today even after knowing that they close at 8PM. He said he might be able to get me seen before they close. I told him I'll call him back before 6PM, and  I continued to do online searches after the call for comparisons and measured knowledge of the various tire products; And, I found myself back at Pep Boys for the best deal and astonishing customer service.  I decided to go through with getting my tire service at Pep Boys, Everett, MA. I had already had my moms car because I borrowed it for the weekend and had to get the car back to her before the snowstorm began. I got to Pep Boys by 6:30 PM and was out the door before they closed. I got all the works which was the 4 tires, alignment, and road hazard warranty.  I drove straight to my mothers house and I let go of the wheel driving on the highway and WOW! I drove straight for 1 mile before having to curve and was very impressed with the alignment work. The car felt taller, had a strong grip to the ground, and driving over avoidable potholes was not felt, which is good because my Mother has a pinched nerve in the end of her spine and can be felt with the tires she had before.  My mother was practically in tears when I arrived and told her that I got her new tires.  Thank you Greg. and to the Pep Boys team in the Everett, MA location for bringing joy to myself and my family. But-overall, keeping in mind that safety was at the core of their work and it shows. I feel at peace for my Mother to be on the road and to get home safely to and from work during the upcoming Nor'Easter. I'll look forward to doing service at this location in the future.  Warm Regards, Juan
