I had a tire blow out and needed a quick fix for cheap. I just googled "used tires 60417" and found Witvoet. I called prior to going, having never been to this establishment, and spoke with the owner, Mark. He was friendly and informative; he honestly just gave me a good vibe from the get go. He said no appointment was needed, just come on through.
As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Mark and his employee, Kevin. There was no wait to get my car in, like Mark had said over the phone, and Kevin began working on my tire almost immediately. They let me watch everything that was happening (I like to see the process out of curiousity) and just stand right there in the garage with them. (I should note here that I was completely safe and was in a cleared out area next to my vehicle) They told me that the tire that had blown out had "wear" on a specific place that suggested it had been aligned wrong previously. (THANKS! Scott's U-Save; see my review on that joke of an establishment) It took maybe 15 minutes to finish the job but I ended up staying there for about 20 minutes afterwards just talking and joking around with them like we were close friends.
It cost me $35 for a used tire but it was the extremely friendly and fun (& professional!)customer service at Witvoet that will keep my business. They truly made me feel like a family member instead of a customer with money.
I left with a smile on my face for not only being surprised by the great service this small business offered but also in knowing I hadn't been taken advantage of.
If you need ANY tire work, go to Witvoet, ask for Mark. You'll be happy you did! read more
