After spending over 1234 bucks I had to stop within 1 hour to get all 4 new tires balanced. DO NOT GO TO MAVIS EVER!!!!!

If I could give a negative rating I would. Spent over 1,234 dollars today for 4 new tires and 8 brake pads that they added on "as needed". They were told I was going on a 4 hour trip. Oh, No worries, we trust our mechanic yadda yadda. Less than 1 hour into trip at 60 mph my car started to shake and shimmy from steering wheel out. I stopped thankfully before getting on turnpike and went to a family owned tire store. Guess what? Not 1, not 2, not 3 but ALL 4 Tires were not balanced. Every tire was off by at least 3 ounces-they obviously trained a monkey to do this or their machine was not calibrated correctly. Additionally, one tire should have and was moved from rear to front due to lateral movement. When I called Mavis, I was told Maa'm you can drive another 4 hours to your destination with no "catastrophic" consequences. Thank God I was directed by Siri to an honest dealer who removed and balanced all 4 tires and rotated 2 of them. Never, ever will I go to or trust Mavis again. This sweet man who works at Miller Tires in Ocala did not charge me a dime. He just wanted me safe. Mavis did not give a flying F&*$ if I made it anywhere safe. Refused to even consider reimbursement unless I went to a Tire kingdom who likely owns them. Poorly trained. Liars. Do not care AT ALL about customers or their safety. Never,ever go there unless you like to risk your life.

See all

Dan and his team did very right by me, resolving the issue I had with my tires and getting new tires installed.

The best thing about this location is Ray. Ray has been working on my vehicles for probably ten years now and is phenomenal.

We also stated it was our only vehicle and would need it then. Almonds called us week later to explain we needed a new manifold & the price. We told them to go ahead with the repair & we would be back at the end of the following week. They called us again 4 days before we were to return to tell us they lost our truck keys, so they had not started the repair yet. 2 hours later they called to say they found our keys. We told them again we would be in late that same week for the truck. Jan 16, Friday, we called to pay for the repair by phone, so we could pickup our truck Saturday . We were told they had not even started our repair yet! I scrambled to call around to find a rental car for the weekend. I finally found one available at Budget-it cost $300! We drove there first thing Monday, only to find they had just pulled our truck into the shop then proceeded told us that they had no idea when they would finish the job that it could take a few more days! I was very upset and told him how he cost us money and he did not care. He admitted he lost the keys and waited 5 days before calling us to tell us! He also admitted he failed to get our truck into the shop in over 3 weeks time, knowing we were coming back to no vehicle and he then admitted not having anyone let us know it was still not completed or why. No follow up, no customer service. NO APOLOGIES AT ALL. JUST AN OBSTINTANT and ARROGANT ATTITUDE. ONLY INCOMPETANCE FROM THE START. I would not trust this place, as they have proven to be unreliable and incompetent when you need them most!

We just had a horrible experience with Advanced Tire Service on Main Street in Gainesville,…read moreFlorida. In May of last year, a little more than 12 months ago, we purchased Goodyear Assurance All Season tires for our car. We paid for the tires, an alignment, and a "lifetime balance and rotation" package. Yesterday we went back to Advanced for an oil change and a tire rotation. After performing this work, Advanced also did several system checks and inspected the tires. "Mark", one of the employees in the office, told me my tire treads for wearing thin on three of the tires and one was in the "just okay" range. He mentioned that I should probably get new tires on my next oil change in 5000 miles. I was appalled. You see, the car has only been driven 12,000 miles in 12 months. The Goodyear warranty on tires is 65,000 miles, given normal wear and tear. When "Mark" looked at the invoice from 12 months ago, he thought that the mechanic, a newer hire, probably made a mistake on the tire tread depth gauge. Another mechanic went out to the car to double check the reading, and confirmed that the tire treads had indeed been worn beyond what one would expect after only 12,000 miles of driving. "Mark" mentioned he would speak with his supervisor/manager (Mike Mullins), and get back to me. He didn't. So my wife and I visited the shop this morning. The mechanics put the car up on the lift, and determined that the alignment from 12 months ago was done improperly. This was their mistake. They mentioned that the excessive tire wear was due to an improper alignment. They performed another alignment while we waited. They assured us that the tire wear henceforth would be closer to normal, although the tires already have significant wear. Not a good feeling when you are driving on the interstate or in town. But here's the best part. While we were getting ready to get in our car and leave, they informed us we owe them for today's tire alignment. Now that's incredibly nervy. Worse, the cost of an alignment this year is 20% higher than last year's cost. $120 versus $100. That's a whopping 20% increase. Of course, we will never go back to Advanced Tire Service. My opinion is that they were trying to "take us for a ride", even though they admitted that the issue was due to their less than stellar workmanship. There are many auto repair places in Gainesville take your vehicles for maintenance, including car dealers. That's where we will take our car in the future. They may charge a little more for their services but at least I think they are more honest and trustworthy.

I went to this Firestone location for an oil change, and later to have a tire puncture repaired…read more In both cases, they did a reasonable job, and my vehicle was returned clean, with all interior settings -- seat position, mirrors, steering wheel, etc. -- as I'd left them. This review is only neutral, because the attitude of the guys who deal with customers isn't great. The first time that I brought my vehicle in for an oil change, they didn't have the correct oil filter in stock, so that was a completely wasted trip. Part availability could have been confirmed over the phone, without waiting for me to drive out there. After the tire puncture was repaired, no one called to let me know my vehicle was ready. The guy at the desk knew my phone number. I'd given it to him twice, in person. If I had to choose, I'd pick workmanship over customer service, but it would be nice if I didn't have to choose one or the other.

Her regular mechanic was closed but she needed her car fixed. She called this Firestone, told them what was going on with her car, and they told her they would look at it asap. She got it towed to Firestone. She got a call the next day on Sunday and was told that the technician that was working was not experienced enough to do any type of thorough inspection and that they needed to wait until Monday morning when the more experienced mechanic was back at work and that her car would be the first in line for inspection. As Monday morning came and went, she never received a phone call, so she finally called them, just for them to say that they can't do anything and she should just take her car to her regular mechanic. She then had to call another tow service to have her car towed again to her regular mechanic, once the tow truck showed up, This FIRESTONE called my daughter and said that they would not release her keys until she paid for their diagnostic. She told them that nobody did any work and they only informed her of the same information she just told them 2 days prior. In my opinion this is EXTREMELY SHADY BUSINESS, I would advise people to avoid this place.
