Always friendly and professional. What I thought was going to be an expensive repair turned out to be simple. Even though they spent over half an hour on my car, they didn't charge me. It's a pleasure doing business with Blacks Tire.

Brought my truck in to replace a brake caliper, flush and bleed the brake system and perform a vehicle inspection. The truck was brought there without an appointment. Black's got all of this done ahead of what I thought would be reasonable due to my lack of an appointment. The cost for this service was very fair.

This is the only place that said they could get front struts for my wife's car. William took good care of us and explained things very well. We are going back for a Friday appointment to have the parts that were ordered installed, and I will keep you posted on that.

My inspection was done within a reasonable amount of time. I believe it was approximately within 30 minutes. I did not have an appointment. Staff was pleasant and helpful. I would recommend then to family and friend's.
