    Owner is ageist. If you're there long enough, pay attention to how he treats people differently…read morebased on their age. The younger they are, the more disrespectful he is towards them. Even towards his own daughter. He gets more respectful as they get older. He couldn't keep the car he sold me working for more than two weeks. He kept trying to blame it on me for not putting the right kind of coolant in the engine, even though his workers were the only ones putting coolant in because it had to keep getting serviced every two weeks. There must be some bigger problem if it keeps breaking down that frequently over multiple months. I asked if there could be a leak, since he seemed to think bi-weekly it had to keep being refilled, but he insisted that couldn't be the case. He refused to look deeper into it. I get the impression he was taking me for a sucker. I'm left to assume his ageism led him to see me as young and vulnerable. That car had so many other issues, like a leaky roof which was damaging the internals. He tried to blame that on me too. The air conditioning and heating never worked. The fuel tank had other issues. Never buy from this guy. He has no idea what he's doing, and will blame what he can't understand on others. He did not keep his promise to fix for free any issues experienced with the car in the first few weeks, unless it was really cheap like replacing the key battery. He was likely trying to blame everything else on me to weasle out of his deal. Even if you are older and bought your car elsewhere, I would suggest you stay away. My grandfather took his vehicle in for inspection to make sure it was all running correctly before a big trip. Only a few days after, it broke down. What was the point of the inspection? Did they even do the work? Did they break it during the inspection? If you have insurance, he will, in his own words, "milk them for all they're worth". He treats his customers the same way. As an example, when he sells you a car, he will fill it with just enough gas to get you across the street to his own gas station, tricking you into paying him again. Anywhere else would give you a full tank. He will slap a bumper sticker on your car with his advertising without asking. There will be no warning. He will just do it because he does not respect you. His prices may seem cheap up front, but you get what you pay for. You'll end up paying more than twice what you would elsewhere on return visits from all his corner cutting.

    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.
