I am having my grandson drive me to Virginia and took in my car for any necessary service. I made it clear that if I needed tires, brake service, etc, I was willing to have the work done. I fully expected a large service charge. this is the third time they have worked on my car and they have always been thorough and work has been excellent. I was amazed when they told me everything was fine for the trip and charged me only for an oil change. I am an older woman and they could have easily done unnecessary work and I would never have questioned it. Their honesty and consideration for their customers is top notch. I would absolutely recommend them for tires and all auto services. R. Willard read more

STAY AWAY! Since Larry Shepherd sold the business it has gone totally down hill. They quote you one price and add on charges when it comes to pay. read more

I am new to Bradenton and needed to have my tires checked after a warning light came on. Even though I didn't spend any money, they addressed the pressure issue and I was on my way. The customer service was outstanding and I'll be back when I need tires. read more

I am a first time customer. I topped off my vehicles tire pressure one day and the next day the right front tire was flat. Refilled and then flat again. After reading the reviews I called Shepherds and they said to come right in. They found a razor blade stuck in the tread but the cause of the leak was a damaged needle in the tire stem. They replaced the needle and did not charge me for their work. I just wanted to thank them publicly for their curteous and friendly service. I will be returning in the future for my vehicle maintenance. read more

Very professional and quick service. Employees seemed to take pride in their job. They were quick to help solve my tire issues.

Love these guys! We get all our tires through them, repairs, everything. They always call a few days after visit to make sure everything is good and that we're happy with what they did. Everyone is friendly, pricing is fair read more

First time customer. Shepherd's was highly recommended by another automotive shop that was doing a rim repair for me and they did not disappoint. Eric and Dave at the front desk and Kyle that did the repair were professional, personable, and easily earned my 5 star rating. I've already recommended Shepherd's to friends!

Very happy with the work we received. Took care of us quickly and had us back on the road in no time. Would definitely recommend this business. read more

Their services are always the best with honest quote. I will always bring my cars there for services!

I was quoted an "out the door" price over the phone only to have it doubled upon arrival. Good luck doing that to customers.

Came in with a flat and they quickly removed a nail and patched it up. Had us in/out in 1/2 hour. Can't say enough about the continued friendly, prompt and professional service time after time. read more

Kevin at Shepherds is THE MAN! He's patient, hard working and the whole krewe of guys are the same. If you buy tires there, FREE ROTATION for life. And unlike other tire stores, they actually ROTATE the tires. How do I know? I tried this trick on some other tire shops in town. When brining in the tires for rotation, I wrote "DF" (driver front), "DR" (driver rear) and PF/PR in blue ink on every tire. I was told by multiple shops "We rotated your tires." I went outside, checked and came back in: "No you didn't and I can prove it." I stopped going to 2 other tire shops for this reason. read more

Good communication and value for what I needed to get done. I went in for a basic tune up an evaluation was done. They shared the findings with me and made me aware what was most concerning and they did not force me into anything. read more

Got there early. Seen immediately, work completed quickly. Price was good. Nice staff. Think I will take my wife's car in for brake job soon. read more

nice people and they repaired a tire that had a razor blade in it causing a slow leak. They were quick and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them. read more

This is the best place to buy tires. I wish all places offered free tire rotations when you purchase tires. As long as you own your same vehicle, as when you purchased them, have the same tires, you have free roatation. They checked everything for me, and I was on my my way in less than 40 minutes. I'm seasonal in Florida, just stopped in, and had it done. I purchased tires here 3 years ago. They offer other services here as well. Hoevet at this time I didn't need anything else done. I highly recommend. Manya from Michigan read more

Gentlemen at the counter was courteous and attentive in my vehicle is ready on time. Will definitely be bringing my vehicle back there again. read more

28 years of personal service. They get it done and correctly. Great team. Kevin and the staff have been our "go to" for all of our mechanical and tire service. read more

Absolutely unacceptable--unskilled labor! Don't waste your time or money here. They damaged my aftermarket rims and took two hours to mount just two wheels. Their carelessness shows a complete lack of respect for customers' property. Avoid this place at all costs! It's a headache you really don't need, I don't need this! read more

Yesterday I had a flat tire on my minivan. I called AAA and they were quick about coming here and putting my spare tire on just to get me to a shop to replace that tire along with all the others that were very worn. What a great experience with Shepherd.. I called first, spoke to Kevin and got a price on 4 Uniroyals. He even told me when to come in and get them mounted. I was in and out within an hour and 100% happy with the new tires. GREAT EXPERINCE! Last time I needed a tire, I remember sitting and waiting for a long time in a storefront. read more

Shepherd's has always been my go to for tires. I went for my oil change and tire rotation. They pointed out that my front end needed to have an alignment. They also did an inspection on brake pads and other things. I was so happy with the results and they were very reasonable price wise. I will be taking my car there going forward. The guys at the front desk were very knowledgeable. Thank you for being honest and helpful. read more

Daniel and the rest of the guys were awesome ! I'm new to the area and the first time going to this shop.. Customer service great ! Would highly recommend . read more

We had our car for maintenance. Great experience; staff very courteous and professional; reasonable price.

So after 15 years of being a local customer , I was told they wouldn't touch my tire that I had plug , in order to drive to safety . Tons of nails & metal objects on the road from Hurricanes . So my guess won't be returning , along with 3 other family members . read more

Great staff, thank you Kevin. If there needs to be additional work please give my husband the information. Thanks again.

The front office guys are friendly and helpful and always go above & beyond to make the trip in worthwhile. Highly recommend to all of our friends for purchasing new tires or car service! read more

It took two weeks to get me in for inspection and another 2 weeks for job to get scheduled. I'd go to tire kingdom next time.

Always great service. I recommend anyone to Shepherd's, if they are having problems with their autos. I'm on the board of a large condo assn. We have a lot of snow birds. I know that when I recommend Shepherd's that they will come back pleased! I need to go.on Monday for a low tire, and know I will get the best service in town. Businesses have to be good to last as long as Shepherd's. And the owner is almost always there! Chuck Johnston Bradenton, FL read more

Go see Pat, great service at a great price! They were able to fit me in for a tire rotation

I just have to give Kudos to Pat at Shepherd's Tire Pros. I called looking for a tire because I had a flat that couldn't be repaired. After speaking with Pat he quoted me a fantastic price for all 4 tires. When I arrived I was told it would be about an hour. I didn't even have to wait an hour they were so efficient. I would highly recommend this place ! read more

Disappointing service. Had a list of work I needed done on my vehicle. One of the tasks they agreed to complete was "check airbag" light on my vehicle. Only after I picked up my van and turned it on did I discover they didn't complete it. I went inside and asked and all I was told was they couldn't do it. No offer to reschedule or make it right whatsoever. I wrote a review reflecting my service on Yelp. The manager responded with an inaccurate representation of events that reflect a business mentality of blaming customers for poor service. Quote from manager as follows. read more

They replaced my rear brake pads and installed a new battery for 1/4 of what Lexus was going to charge.I highly recommend this company.

Shepherd's has been a part of Bradenton for many, many years and is trustworthy and reliable place for any automotive needs, not just tires.

I think that yelp may be editing this Firms reviews. I posted a serious complaint in February 2019 and now it is gone. In Jan 2019 I had This firm tell me that the clunk in my Cadillac was due to bad motor mounts and it would take $750 to fix this matter. After three days of trips to get this done, the problem did not go away like my $750 did. I complained to the sales person and he tried to convince me that the mounts were hydraulic. I just happened to be a trained diesel mechanic by the USCG and spent 6 years in engine rooms . I KNOW WHAT HYDRAULIC IS AND WHEN I AM BEING FED A BS STORY. They changed the Motor mounts and I asked to get the old parts that appear to be almost new. I posted a serious complaint abut my personal experience with this Firm on Yelp after Shepherd's refused to remedy the problem. I am a 78 year old Senior and this is not good business for Shepherds or Yelp. FYI This post will be copied and posted on Facebook and other social media if Yelp removes my complaint again. I am a former public relations expert and know how to get facts broadcast across the internet. END read more

They were great. 4 new tires needed for old Jaguar. They ordered them, I came in the next morning and they put them on in under an hour. The car has never driven better. They also alerted me to a leak in coolant system and its location....Looked up part and priced the job, while I was waiting. We decided to have our regular mechanic take a look. We will be going there in the future tire needs and really had a great experience. No wonder they've been in business for decades. read more

I hit a curb and damaged two trailer tires. Besides replacing and installing the tires, the tech did a few adjustments on the bent trailer body at no charge so I could get on my way. read more

My elderly mother went here with a flat tire, and they told her that it could not be plugged and had to be replaced. They quoted her $75 for a new tire (in store). When she arrived, they put the new tire on and handed her a bill for $125. When questioned, they replied that they replaced her tire with a matching tire and that would never have been $75. They went so far as to say they never quoted her that price, and in order to get that price she had to buy a mismatching tire of lower quality. read more
