My husband who was a mechanic in his younger days really liked and trusted them A few months ago he took his car in for an alignment and a replacement tire. (He's a rural mail carrier) Within weeks he needed all new tires including the new one! They check the alignment again and stated that it was within specs, though they did not give him the written specs. They charged him full price for tires that were inadequate for his job. Last Tuesday he had new snow tires put on so he can do his job and this morning his wheel fell off!!!!! He was late and might not be able to do his job. His car is damaged and he ended in a ditch!! This is the most irresponsible work I've ever seen or heard of!

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!!!!

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!!!!

They ordered the devices and called me to schedule for last Monday morning at 9 AM. I thought great this is wonderful! I showed up at 9 AM on last Monday 2/13/25 morning and the place was closed. I work at home, I rearranged my schedule to be there, but I thought "hey, stuff happens. Maybe there was a death..." So I called and said "I'm here you're not I hope everything's OK. I hope there isn't a big emergency Please call me so we can reschedule." A couple of days later, I got a call to reschedule and reset the time for this Monday 2/20/25 at 9 AM. Again, I rearranged my work schedule and arrived today at 9 AM and Mr. Tire was closed. I didn't get a phone call either time. I didn't get any kind of consideration for my time so I called and left a very angry message and left. At 10 AM today, I got a voicemail message from Mr. Tire. When I called back I told them in no uncertain terms that I was done they offered "to get me right in" today. But I declined that offer because I'm still ticked off and done. The woman I was speaking with thought I had hung up, so I was able to listen to her playback my angry voicemail message and laugh with "Jerry"about the whole incident and make fun of me and my voicemail message. These people are not serious about their business. The reason that they gave me for today's "misunderstanding" was "we weren't sure if we were working because it was the MLK holiday". It's my understanding that telephones continue to be available regardless of national holidays. They could have called me but they didn't. Instead they played my voicemail message out loud in their waiting area and laughed at it. I won't be using their business ever again and perhaps you shouldn't either. (Also, the owner should know that the woman responsible for customer service also has a home school side hustle that she apparently runs from the same number as the tire business. While I was waiting in my tire switch over, I witnessed her ignoring Mr. Tire customers waiting right in front of her to spend over 6 minutes dealing with a side hustle customer. If anyone tried to call Mr. Tire during that lengthy telephone exchange, they were SOL)

First, they told me they ordered the replacement tire -- but when I called on Monday to check the status, they admitted it was never ordered. They placed the order then, and by Friday, I was told my tire was finally ready. After picking it up, I realized they had ordered the wrong tire. On top of that, my wheel had several major scratches. Thankfully, Salvador, was very helpful and understanding throughout all the issues. He helped get the correct tire ordered and did his best to make things right, which I really appreciated. Still, when I went back to have the correct tire installed, the wheel came back in worse condition than before -- this is a new car to me, and my wheels were brand new when I brought them in. They did offer to reimburse me for the cost of having the wheel powder-coated to fix the damage, which I do appreciate, but honestly, that doesn't make up for the carelessness. I now have to spend my own time and energy finding someone to repair something that should never have been damaged in the first place. First photo was Friday, the first time we picked up the wheel. Second photo was today after the correct wheel was put on. ****EDITED**** 11/27/25 I received an email from the support team saying they would reach out, yet it has been over 2 weeks and no response. I did have to take my vehicle to another shop because Discount Tire did not balance my wheels, and weights had been knocked off. Not only that, the new shop informed me that my wheel is bent.
