    My SL 500 on a nice day
    Mel T.

    The first car I ever fell in love with was a Mercedes SL. I was like 12 years old and knew that one day I would have one. Growing up there were T.V. shows that I watched just because the lead characters drove SL Mercedes. Remember Heart to Heart? Bobby Ewing from Dallas? Both drove SL Mercedes. Anyway, I knew that one day I would own one. Flash forward three decades. I finally achieved my automotive dream and found the perfect SL 500. I use it as my daily driver. I take care of it. I spend amounts of money that I am ashamed to speak to keep it running smoothly. I have driven it across country on a dream vacation and enjoy it just as much now as I did on the day I purchased it. Recently, I had a problem with the hydraulic system. I took my car to another Mercedes repair shop that I have dealt with prior and was told that it was a lost cause. "Hey, maybe you sell it and get something for it. My suggestion is that the repair is more than what your car is worth and is a difficult repair" is what I was told. The guys at the Foreign Service (Bruce, Mike, David, and Peter), they all spoke with me. They could tell that I took great care of my my 12 year old Mercedes. They took the time to diagnose the issue and went WELL ABOVE AND BEYOND to take care of me and my car. The fix was professional and the guys were able to correct my issue and get me back to my baby! I can probably write a lot more to tell you my sentiment about the service I received, but I will leave you with this... I have found a NEW service home for my Mercedes. The professional service and care that I received went above any experience that I have had at ANY Mercedes service at the dealerships I have been to....period. The care and love that The Foreign Service has for Mercedes automobiles and the kindness they show to customers shows from the first moment you walk into the front office. If you own a Mercedes, and care about keeping it running, and also care about getting GREAT service...The Foreign Service is where you should go.

    Yesterday morning I purchased for used tired from rockside. By yesterday evening I had a flat…read more I went back this morning (had to call AAA yesterday because I was stranded at work due to the flat) and they patched the hole. I left, and noted they did not recalibrate the TPS. Did that and decided to check the tire pressure myself. All four of them were at different pressures, two of which were 20psi OVER where it should be. At this point I'm pressed. We paid $185 for a tire that had a hole and needed patching. I had to call AAA, and I missed half a day of work. We go back. We're like hey, clearly whoever put these on doesn't know wtf they're doing b/c we had a hole and they're all at different pressures and they're over pressure. This sucks, we don't want your shoddy tires we want our money back. They did absolutely jack all to make it right. I drove to my mechanic to make sure the tires were now safe to drive on. They fixed the tire pressure in them, and my mechanic said that I won't die, but the tires they sold me have tread on them so bad they would NOT pass state inspection. $185 and if I had to get an inspection tomorrow I wouldn't pass? Are you for real right now? This is unreal and not right. Integrity is dead in the modern age.

    Went today to get a tire I bought elsewhere mounted. I speak Spanish but most other Spanish…read morespeakers assume I do not. Attendant came up to me and asked what I needed. I told him and he went to ask the manager what he should charge. This all happened next to me and the manager said to try to get me to pay more than normal. When the attendant told me the price, I asked if they could do better. They lowered the price by 25%. During the mounting I heard the mechanic call me an expletive for asking for a discount. At this point I made it clear that I spoke Spanish and he should not be treating his customers this way. When I went to pay I had a long conversation with the store manager and he refused to take any responsibility, calling it a misunderstanding. Buyer beware, I will never return and will let everyone I know not to go there.

    Expeditious service i was literally in and out maybe 30-40 mins all 4 tires 22 GV70…read morePolite courteous clean waiting area. Free coffee i believe.

    I visited this Discount Tire location on Jan 19, 2026 to fix an issue with my tire: a stuck nail…read more After the terrible experience at the Wake Forest location (on 11212 Capital Blvd) that was a walk-in, I decided to make an appointment for this visit... the first time I had to do so. Discount Tire's Journey Tracker app actually worked properly this time around (it didn't work at all at Wake Forest). I used it to notify that I was on the way, and of my arrival after I parked at the designated lot. It was about five minutes before the appointment time when I arrived. Despite the day being a public holiday (Martin Luther King, Jr.), the wait time was a fraction of the 5-minute I had suffered at Wake Forest. After the staff member looked at my car, he determined that the tire had to be replaced. Since I didn't purchase a warranty, I paid full price for the replacement. Unlike at Wake Forest, the staff member told me approximately what time the my car would be ready for pickup, and that the technicians worked on my car almost immediately (Wake Forest didn't get to it until almost four hours later). Journey Tracker was updated to show 1) time window of my arrival and 2) estimated completion time. The text message on my phone showed the check-in time of 3:19pm. Like at Wake Forest, 4400 Fayetteville has three bays; unlike at Wake Forest, 4400 Fayetteville were operating three service areas full-time in their bays during the entire time I was there. The waiting area was less than half-full. l returned almost an hour later but didn't wait long to pick up my car. The text message notified me at 4:12pm that it was ready. That was the time that I got into my car and left. Total wait time was less than an hour. Why did I choose 4400 Fayetteville? Because they had appointments available the next day while all the other locations didn't. I was expecting similar crappy services that I had at Wake Forest, but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't the case. It restored my confidence in Discount Tire and reaffirmed that not all of their locations are the same. Even though 4400 Fayetteville is out of the way for me, I will consider going back here for future services.
