Outstanding experience with J&M. I bought 4 tires a year ago and was pleased with price and service. I recently bought a new truck and had a slow leak that I brought to Chad first thing in the morning as they opened and it got fixed an hour and a half later. I recommend this tire shop to anyone who wants to be taken care of.

Chad (I think that's his name) was so helpful and down to earth. It wasn't about ( him) making a million dollars like other places. I was able to get four tires that I desperately needed and for a reasonable price. I will absolutely go back!!!
