What's left of the screw in my tire
Ken O.

I've lived in Smithfield for 2.5 years now and I've taken my vehicle there twice, my son's car and my wife's vehicle. EACH TIME, I have been treated with respect and honesty! While sitting there waiting for these vehicles, working of course, I overheard many conversations with other people with tire and other issues. EACH INTERACTION, was handled with great respect. Based on my own personal experiences and witnessing others as well, I'm rating this neighborhood tire service location, 5 STARS

Tire wall

Woke up with a flat tire inflated tire then drove straight to Melvin's. I didn't have an appointment, but talked to friendly person behind the desk. Told them my problem and they were able to get me in right away.It turned out that I had a nail in my tire. They were able to repair my tire. Many places could have said I needed a new tire and I wouldn't have known any difference. Will definitely recommend them to others.

This is the Culprit!

Took my Jeep in for a slow leak in one tire. Jack was exceptionally helpful. Happy customer.

Needed to have my tires replaced quickly. They were very responsive and turned tires around in less than 24 hours.

I went to check out their prices for tire sprays and cleaners...their prices are not the lowest…read morearound, but they do have a large selection, so among the choices, there are some that are a good value as compared to the others. The store was typical to most Advance Auto Parts stores around, where you are free to roam around and spend as much time as you want browsing and shopping before anyone comes to greet you. I like that, since I like to take my time doing my research and my shopping. Some people might feel that is not very customer focused, but I believe that is the corporate way of this company to handle the customer experience.

The services that said that were checked off as "done" were not done. I went in for a diagnostic of…read moremy check engine light, a service steering system message & my oil change. I was told it was my evap system and two parts that needed to be done. The price was a little higher than other competitors, however after thinking it throughly I decided to give them a chance since my car was already there and my oil change was already being done. WORST MISTAKE. I dropped my vehicle off at approximately 945 am and picked it up at 6pm. I was highly disappointed with my results. I was not greeted very friendly off the start. Once I got to my vehicle my oil life was not reset after being changed, if they even changed it because now I'm doubting that! My check engine light IS STILL ON!! I was not communicated well with about it! I Was told after the services were done that it was something else??? I had to wait with an employee to try and trouble shoot to reset the oil life on the dash at 6pm after leaving my vehicle at 10 am!!! I had to direct HIM on how to do it after he tried to google it. I was afraid to even pop my hood and check my fluid levels at the moment because I was so upset with the other things that were signed off as done and were indeed NOT done. I called to talk to the service manager around 10 am the next day and again around 4pm and no one ever got back to me. I really tried to give them a second chance to try and make it right and no one has called. Very unfortunate. The worst part was after a long day working in the operating room the last thing I wanted to do was pop my hood to see if the services were done and they were not!!! I was VERY disappointed and I feel very taken advantage of! I paid almost 1,000$ and none of my fluids were topped off but checked off as they were and my tire pressure is supposed to be 36 each tire and they are all about to explode after Sean the technician working on my vehicle checked off all he "did"!!! I am beyond livid!!!! I really am an understanding and kind person so the fact no one tried to make it right is outrageous. I'll attach the photos. I feel taken advantage of because I am a woman and I went in alone! How embarrassing! How am I supposed to believe they even did anything to my car!? I have pictures of all the proof! sooooo sad!!!

I'm extremely disappointed to be changing my review from 5 stars to 1 after a frightening safety…read moreincident this morning. While driving my 3-year-old to school, my car completely died while I was on a hill, and the car began rolling backward. I had no hazard lights, no emergency brake, and could not put the vehicle in Park. I had to keep my foot on the brake to keep the car from continuing to roll backward while I called the police for help. An officer placed a cinder block behind my tire so I could finally take my foot off the brake. The officer and a Good Samaritan both tried to put the car in Park and couldn't. I also could not unlock the car to get my daughter out of the back seat. As frightening as that was, my biggest frustration is the response we received afterward. We specifically raised this as a serious safety concern that should be documented and reported, but the response was simply that they couldn't say anything until they looked at the vehicle. I completely understand that they cannot diagnose the problem without inspecting the car. What I don't understand is why an incident this serious wasn't immediately treated as a potential safety issue. A vehicle completely losing functionality while being driven, rolling backward on a hill, unable to be put into Park, with no hazards or emergency brake and a 3-year-old inside, should warrant immediate concern and escalation. I expected urgency, empathy, and a clear process for documenting and escalating what happened. Unfortunately, that is not what we experienced.

It was like night and day. Completely different. I already forgot their names, female was very nice on the phone and just the same in person. Manager was busy, didn't get to talk with him, but I remember he ended up calling me regarding the issue in North Smithfield. He tried to mediate the situation and offered to have his best mechanic look at my car and start all over again at the time. He was quite professional and that's why I went to his Cranston facility this time. Everything went well. I got the lifetime alignment and left happy. Car drove perfect afterwards.

Been going to this place for a few years now and there are some good things about it and also…read moreseveral bad things. The good: The manager Mike is knowledge and works both quickly and efficiently. It's easy to make appointments, they have long hours with late days and are even open on Sundays. They have good prices on tires and a good road hazard plan which is imperative for RI driving. They have a lifetime alignment available which means you can get an alignment with every tire rotation. The bad: small waiting area with uncomfortable seating, no snacks/coffee/water or vending. Sure you can walk over to one of the stores in the rest of the plaza, but it feels like their goal is to not encourage people to stay. They do have a bathroom although I've never seen the inside of it. The ugly: if you have your state inspection done they will find any little thing to make sure you can't get out of there without paying a little extra (windshield wipers, marker bulbs, air filters etc). While not wrong, $60 for wipers or a cabin air filter that costs $20 at auto zone or they fail you and make you come back is rough. Last time in they left a piece of razor blade on the passenger seat and got the door jamb full of grease and dirt (new to me used car that had just been detailed so it was really easy to notice). While it wasn't the end of the world, it was sloppy and would make me leery to have major work done there.
