Requested my wife's 2016 Buick enclave with a transmission issue to be looked at and diagnosed,…read moreover the phone before even seeing the car he stated it probably needed to be rebuilt and that he had done quite a few rebuilds of this type. I asked if he could look at it and give me a quote on what needed to be done. I waited a few days and called back in which he stated that he had the transmission rebuilt and was working on getting it back in, I was not happy. I received a quote of $5,080.00 for the work done. I had a quote from a different shop for a brand new transmission for $6000.00. I got the car back 3-4 days later and about 2-3 weeks later noticed there was a shudder in which he said on 2 occasions of bringing the car to him that he couldn't feel anything wrong with it, so wife continued to drive the car. The transmission lasted a little over a year and approximately 20,000 miles before it was shifting horribly and lost reverse all together. It was over the warranty period so I didn't even bothalling Kenny's back. We have had to let the car go back as we are still paying on the car and the loan we took out to have the transmission rebuilt, which with the quote I was given after the work was started I wouldve opted for the brand new one. This was and is the worst experience I've ever had with a repair shop.

We bought a 2018 Hyundai Elantra on 10/13/2025. The next day we brought the car back in because the…read moreRPMs was going into the red whenever we would speed up to pass someone and per Birmingham location the service department and manager told us it was normal for a vehicle to do this. So let's move on, we had an error code for camshaft sensor on 1/3/2026 we notified Holmes motors of this error code and to tow it there it of cost $100 using my insurance for towing and they claimed he was over mileage and according to the paper we were not. We had to have the car fixed we had the vavle cover gaskets, crankshaft seal (front), rear disc pads, oil filter and oil done fixed. Now during this time our vehicle was in the shop for approximately 3 weeks after getting fixed. Then we had to replace the wheel bearing on front passenger on 2/10/2026 as i sent message for service at Holmes and nothing from them. Now as of 2/20/26 the engine is gone. Pistons broke, engine oil all over the car, engine oil pan replaced. So let's see if Holmes will replace this vehicle as my son has made his pymts on time if not early at $240 biweekly and we put down $2000 on a car on 10/13/25 that is not drivable and have been having issues since we gotten the vehicle. If they would of done a proper inspection on this vehicle when we brought it into them then maybe they would of caught this issue before it gotten this bad to where this vehicle is no longer drivable.

I'm from Tuscumbia and was driving home from Birmingham when I had a blowout on I-65 in a pretty…read morerural area. It was over 100 degrees, and after sitting in my vehicle for a while trying to figure out what to do, I realized I couldn't get a mobile tire service and, since it was Saturday afternoon, most shops were already closed. I ended up walking nearly two miles to a gas station for help. When I got there, the attendant didn't hesitate--he said, "Warrior Tire." That recommendation turned out to be one of the biggest blessings of my day. When I was finally able to get my vehicle to the shop, I explained everything that had happened, along with my history of tire issues. I also shared that I've felt taken advantage of by repair shops in the past because I'm not very knowledgeable about cars. Anita at the front desk and the guys in the shop treated me with so much kindness, honesty, and respect. They took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand and were completely transparent with me. Unfortunately, the news wasn't what I wanted to hear--my vehicle was beyond repair--but they were honest instead of trying to sell me something I didn't need and letting me leave in a very unsafe vehicle like previous shops had apparently done. As a single mom who works in the nonprofit field, losing my vehicle was one of the hardest days I've had in a long time. Reliable transportation isn't a luxury for me--it's how I take care of my daughter and get to work. I was emotional, and every single person there was patient, compassionate, and understanding. Since I live about an hour and a half away, they even allowed me to leave my vehicle there because it wasn't safe to drive. The person who had brought me to the shop had already left because we thought my vehicle would be repaired, so I was stranded trying to figure out how to get home. Anita went above and beyond by calling one of her personal friends, who drove me all the way back to Tuscumbia. They wouldn't even let me pay for gas. In a world where customer service often feels rushed and impersonal, Warrior Tire reminded me that there are still genuinely good people out there. They didn't just help with my car--they helped me through one of the most stressful days of my life with compassion and integrity. If you're ever in the area and need honest people who truly care, this is the place to go. I'll never forget the kindness they showed me.

I was panicked because I was alone with my three children and had no idea how we were going to get home! I looked on Google maps to see if I could locate a repair shop nearby and found Warrior Tire & Auto Service. They were so kind and the owner himself drove over to the Volero gas station to inspect my car. He got it running enough to drive it back to their shop where they promptly fixed the issue. Jeff took the time to explain everything to me and even offered to talk to my husband on the phone. I'm so grateful for his kindness, generosity, and hospitality. If I lived nearby, I would use their shop exclusively for all my car repairs. Highly recommend!
