Avoid if you value torque specs: I Took my car to Tidwell recently to have my wheels balanced and…read moredespite me leaving notes above the wheel arches specifying the lug nut torque spec (85lb-ft) and specifically asking the front desk to torque the nuts to spec. When I attempted to remove them a couple days later they were incredibly tight, and I ended up grabbing my torque wrench to see what it took to remove them - and every lug nut maxed out my wrench at over 190lb-ft... would be frustrating to have this happen from a cheap shop, but especially from a "premium" one like Tidwell. But that's not all. I then spent a few weeks (and a little over $1000) chasing down a cyclical tapping noise from somewhere in the driveline only to eventually have a shop discover that the wheel weights used were installed poorly because they didn't fit the rim profile correctly and were rattling about at certain speeds. They said the wheel weights should have been the stick on kind and not the clips for the rim shape. Worth mentioning that I had requested stick in weights because I prefer those anyway, but was told they didn't have any. I've used Tidwell before a few times and they're more expensive than most, so I thought I would be getting better service. This wasn't the only time they over torqued my lugs but it was the most extreme, and it will certainly be the last. I almost didn't bother with making this review, but discovering they botched the wheel weights was too much.

We could not be more happy with the service that we received! We have an older Hyundai suv, it stayed over a week because we were out of town, but while it was there they told us the motor was blown but not only that they looked up that our car has a warranty on it, due to other vehicles having this same issue, so they saved us so much money since we were not under this acknowledgment. They also looked up a cheaper tow truck company for us to take it to the dealership!!! Overall highly recommend this business for if your car needs work done on it!

They told her they had the top of the line code reader and it was saying the code couldn't be cleared. They never denied that they set the light off. When I called up there to clarify and see what their solution was, the owner was very short with me, insisted that the it couldn't be fixed. When I asked if we took it to another mechanic and got it fixed if we could bring him the receipt for him to reimburse us and he was adamant that he would not. We took it to Automotive Supercenter on the loop so they could look at it. All it ended up being was a dirty ABS sensor.
