All the technicians at Capitol Tire are the best!

I’ve been going to Capitol Tire on Odana for several years. I always used to do my own repair and maintenance work, but as I’ve aged and been busy with life, I trust this shop to only fix what needs fixing and to do fast, reliable work. Plus they’re pretty friendly.

Service was done timely and staff very helpful. Yes. But very disappointed that there is now a 3.5% fee for credit cards and not happy with a 7.5% fee on shop supplies. The fees seemed excessive and will cause us to rethink having work done there again even though we have always had great service there. Fees on bill…

Brought car in for oil change. Capitol Tire and Service examined the car carefully and found other issues. I am thankful that they found an issue with the brakes needing replacement; a safety issue otherwise if that had not been found.

Great, trustworthy service at fair prices, great communication (shout-out to Caleb). Will bring cars here moving forward. Had front brakes replaced and transmission oil topped off after suboptimal work elsewhere. Called to review plan of action after diagnosing car, work was completed in time quoted and within estimated range.

I would give this place a 5 star review but they forgot to do the oil change and wheel alignment I originally made the appointment for. I expressed concern about a bad tire and a squeaky sound and I think they focused on those and forgot the original issues. Not a big deal except that I had to go back the next day.…
