One star is about 5 stars too many for this place…read more I should have listened to my instincts when I first arrived here. The guy at the counter (store manager Mike Kearing) printed off my work order and told me to take it out into the shop (watch my step) and give it to the shop manager. Normally shops do not allow customers into the service area. Apparently the guy at the counter is too lazy to bring the work order into the shop. So I bring out the work order. The guy out there says "white letters in or out". I said out. He said "your husband must clean your tires". Really? Should that be any concern of his who cleans my tires? Over $87 to change 2 tires when the site I bought the tires from quotes $58 for them to do the job. The store manager (or owner, not sure which-the guy at the counter) claimed it took well over an hour to change tires that size (315/75R16), claimed they were a real pain (how would he know when he can't even get out of his chair to deliver a work order). Funny thing, just one week ago I had 2 rear tires plus my spare(so 3 tires) of the same size changed at Laplante tire in massena and it didn't even take 1/2 hour. Store manager couldn't find my keys when I left.....he had one of the young mechanics take me into the shop to find my keys". The 2 young mechanics (one of them was kind enough to tell me his positive experience with tires just like I bought) looked in the shop-no keys. They went back out and found my keys right on the store manager's desk right by his keyboard where he was sitting and couldn't find them. This place is a sad joke. So I was mad enough about just getting totally ripped off by this skeevy place, but it gets better. On the way home, my truck seemed to pop out of gear (it's an automatic) and every gear including reverse now acts like neutral. I had to get towed the rest of the way. My truck has never had transmission problems so it is quite the coincidence this happened before I even made it home from this sketchy garage. I'm assuming they knocked a wire or sensor loose, but who knows. So I have a truck sitting in my yard with new tires but now it won't go anywhere. I also have a much larger credit card charge than I should have had. STEER CLEAR OF POTSDAM TIRE! This place is creepy and a complete rip off. Update-I noticed yesterday this place also trashed one of my tires that would have been a perfectly good spare. What kind of "tire shop" can't break down a tire without trashing the bead? This place should be out of business.

Of the things I'll miss about the North Country, Mike and his team at Potsdam Tire will be one of…read morethem. Great customer service, affordable, and no issues with the work. Some highlights: * When I had to install a new clutch on my vehicle, an unexpected expense, they were very understanding on the challenges the high-cost job would place on my financial situation at the time. * When my wife moved to the area, they winterized her vehicle and did not charge because they said that the work they did was minimal. * They always break down multiple options when considering larger repairs and make their recommendation considering drivability and cost factors. It was always a pleasure going to for any type of service and I will miss bringing my car in to Mike and the crew.

Being a 20-year-old kid, he called home and was OK. What do I do and we told him to get the car inspected. He ended up bringing it to Scott's, and they did him right for sure. The vehicle needed a small repair which they took care of and gave him the inspection sticker. Many auto places would have took the opportunity to club somebody, but he was treated very fairly and we could not be more happy with the service! I would recommend them if you have a kid going to school in the area.

She called AAA and they towed her to Martins. I called to check on the repair needed and they said it was a small repair and would be ready in an hour. 10 minutes later they called to say there was another problem and didn't have the part - they had the part overnighted and fixed it on a Saturday( they could have told us we wld have to wait til Monday).

They basically have a monopoly on towing in the area and don't NOT give a hoot about college kids or broke folks, in fact they are such vultures they tried charging 500 for less than a quarterile tow of Clarkson campus...it was outrageous and I refused to pay that, to this day I consider them rude and heartless dirty businessesmen. Go to NCOC for your car work and try to get a different tow the. Martin's. Cheers
