Very disappointing experience. I brought my vehicle in to have my tire checked and was told that it could not be patched, leaving me with the impression that replacing the tire was my only option.

I stopped by to have my tires checked, and although the technicians were busy, the person in the front counter took the time to assist me. I really appreciated the help it was a great gesture that showed consideration for customers and a commitment to providing a positive experience. Thank you for the outstanding service!

Do not bother scheduling an appointment. You will be waiting hours regardless. Not to mention at the end of the day your check engine light will still be on stating service due, so basically they did no work, checked / changed no fluids and stole my money. If it happened to me it will happen to YOU.

Very disappointing experience. I brought my vehicle in to have my tire checked and was told that it could not be patched, leaving me with the impression that replacing the tire was my only option. Thankfully, I decided to get a second opinion at another tire shop, where they were able to patch it without any issues. It was frustrating to find out that a simple repair was possible after being told otherwise. I left feeling like this business was more interested in upselling me than providing an honest assessment or a cost-effective solution. I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion before agreeing to any expensive repairs or replacements here. Unfortunately, this experience left me questioning their honesty and customer service.

I had an unexpected flat tire on my way to work today and was definitely feeling stressed. Without an appointment, I dropped off my flat tire hoping for the best. To my surprise, the team got to it right away and called me very quickly to let me know it was fixable. This is a free service they provide. When I came back to pick it up after work, there was zero wait time! They went above and beyond by reinstalling my repaired tire and properly stowing my spare tire back in its place for me. Every single person I interacted with was so kind, professional, and reassuring. They turned a stressful morning into a completely seamless experience. I can’t thank them enough and highly recommend Big Brand Tire to everyone, but especially to all my single ladies.

I got a flat tire on the way to drop my son off at school and they were the closest place. WOW. Fast service and friendly staff. THEY FIXED IT FOR FREE!! I didn't even get my tires from there originally. They just fixed it free and sent me on my way. I cannot recommend this place enough! Update: went back to get tired balanced and Alignment.
