Best Tire Shop Cambridge Near Me

Gokyu Phoenix: 9:28am I just came from this place and the owner is the most disrespectful and forceful person. I don't feel comfortable giving out personal information and due to this. I couldn't simply buy a tire, I've purchased several tires from people in the past and never have I ever had to give my personal and private information to buy rubber. His excuse in case your car is blocking my workers I need a number to call you, my answer to this was ok I understand I'll stay with my car well so I don't feel comfortable giving that out. This guy then proceeds to talk to me any which kind of way. Funny part is that I was just in there politely waiting for him to finish a nice conversation with a delivery person, but as soon as he gets to me the entire attitude changed up. I'm not sure why the caucasian woman in front of me was able to see the nice side of this man and then turn to the black guy you just made wait then give me an attitude. Honestly unused to be the person to just react in the store but now I find posting honest reviews works better this place will never get my business nor will I ever refer anyone to this shop. I work around the corner from this place and in the future I'll have my car towed to any other place on earth then to go back to a place that can treat people this way.

CHRISTOPHER MOTA: In Cambridge they are the best with Tires, Brakes, ETC. Really nice people and friendly. Rick Hank Elias DJ Neil and company.They are the best!!!!

Brynne Nagy: Everyone at this shop is so welcoming and helpful. They recognize you when you come back and are always fair in their prices and recommendations!

Rubie Rakian: I was quoted $160 to have my tires alignment. After the work was done, I was charged $250. I would not recommend Kendal Advance Tire and Car Care Center. They are dishonest in their business practices with owner/owners who lack integrity. There are many places in the Boston area who will value you as a customer and honor the cost they quote you.

Kavita Venkataramani: Amazing customer service

Rebekah Larsen: Two stars for convenience, but I think the prices here are much steeper than other mechanics in the Boston area. A $130 charge for a diagnostic--and in the end, they simply relayed to me the error codes that I had *already mentioned* when I made the appointment. (Also, there was no mention of the fee in the appointment call--only once I was dropping off my car.) Maybe I've been lucky with other mechanics, but I've never been charged that much for a simple diagnostic. We'll have to go somewhere else so we can afford the cost of the actual repair--the repair quote was also more expensive than expected.

Karli Tumbleson: The guys are super nice, sweet, and funny! They were so helpful and nice when it came to my tires. My tire had a nail in it and they were able to fix it in a timely manner. It wasn't too expensive either.

Chieko Oka: The owner was so kind and he helped me quickly with flat tire. Price is not too low and not too high, it’s just right. I could wait with coffee at warm place. I strongly recommend this shop:)

Sarah Hlubik: Highly recommend! These guys are super nice and excellent at what they do. I came in after not actually getting help at another place. They got me in and out in about 40 minutes for a fire patch. I will be going back.

James Sinoimeri: Best spot for state inspection

Boston Rich: Enjoy the free coffee and let's these guys work 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Diana C: Rick is the nicest guy. They worked fast. Honestly they made my week.

Mauris Nnamani: Spent more than I expected but it was quick and the employees were friendly.

Yahya Shamekhi: Friendly staff and timely service. But the cost was unreasonable and higher than other places. Charged $100 just for installation/balance of two tires.

Kate Sutcliffe: The friendliest car repair place I've ever been to.

Sanaullah Syed: They basically scam you into buying tires from them. And if you get a used one, those tires are way worst than what you originally had.. happened to me when I went in for an inspection, they failed me on tire thread bs, and then had me replace the tires…

George Thomas: I am 70yrs old and I ,and all my family go to Advance Tire,we buy all are tires there,and now all our inspection stickers.Rick is a fantastic person to work with.Honest people.They go out of there way to please.

Liz Solera: Came here after switching my registration from out of state. The mechanic who completed the state inspection for my jeep also mounted my front license plate without any prompting at all.I'm sure it took very little time, but sir, if you're reading this, you have no idea how much you blessed me with a few extra moments.I have arthritis in both hands and reduced fine motor control in my fingers. I was dreading struggling through the installation and being sore afterward, so I left everything in the passenger seat to take care of later. When I realized he installed it for me, it made my day - perhaps my month! I wish I had noticed before I drove off so I could have thanked him.

Dario Namruev: Terrible customer service.

Joseph Brassard: I come here for all routine maintenance. Flat tire? These are your guys. Oil/filter change? Same. I've been here for major routine service as well, never had a bad experience.Since I bought a replacement set of tires they do free rotations for life.Everyone's always polite, even when I lose track of the tire lock adapter and they have to wait a bit while I frantically dig it out of the trunk.

Ebubekir Uçar: Elest was great! Amazing service. Thanks!

Martin Meagher: Brought my car in due to a flat tire. Even without an appointment my car was taken care of relatively quickly and no charge for the patch! Would definitely recommend!

Kristina Lopez: Taylor, Elest, and Cal are amazing!!!!!!Thank you for the fast and friendly service.I really appreciate it.

Rachel Boos: Always a convenient and efficient experience. They are super helpful and nice. There is usually a deal going on on various things.

20nu Dabadi: This place is amazing. Good customer service with Mr Gico and highly professional Technician Miss Call did good job with humble smile. I like very much this place compared to other tire services. Hats up!!!!I recommend this place with no doubt about.

Bianca Mullin: THANK YOU to the staff at Mavis Cambridge. My husband, 1 year old son and I were on our way home from Boston to Maine when we realized there was a screw in our tire and we were losing air. No one was able or willing to help plug it until we pulled into Mavis…the very nice gentleman behind the desk told us they were pretty busy but to hang tight and that he would help us - and that he did!!! Customer Service was top notch. Highly recommend going here! Thank you again!

Eve Radovsky: I live close by and have come here for work on my car a few times recently. Frantzi is always very kind, helpful, and straightforward.

Shaun Wortis: I had a seasonal tire change, an oil change and new front brakes — all on a Sunday and for a decent price. Can’t beat that.

Zain: Great Staff!

dragon filia: Fast service and friendly people! I came in with a flat tire and was back on the road in a couple hours.

William Landry: Quick in quick out A+

Pam Grewal: I always go to this trusty garage but this time they truly went above and beyond! My car literally jammed up less than 0.5 miles away (wouldn’t start, steering locked…). The manager Frantzi left the garage, started my car, drove it back to the garage, and insisted on making it a priority - very much rescuing a mother in need!!!

Dan Steinbrink: Honest, clear, great work. I appreciated the suggestions and how fast things moved even though almost no staff did to the holiday

James Desmond: Purchased and installed winter tires, was great until I went to put the all seasons back on. I now see that they swapped out my brand new OEM tire with some bald junk and put the bald ones in my trunk. Don’t go here unless you want to be scammed out of $600

Emily Halm: Very helpful in fixing my tire quickly.

Mohamed ElKabbash: Cal is great. They accommodated our need to change the brakes and oil. Great discounts as well.

Mike Clark: It was a pleasant experience the worker was very friendly and explain everything to me

Daniel Maraist: Great service and discount pricing. Staff were very patient and helpful

Yefim Botvinnik: Reasonable prices and good service.

Rafik Osmane: Great crew, always a pleasure to work with!

Mike Temple: Great bunch of people and they were helpful in getting my rims/tires replaced.

Taaj Lyncee: Very quick and helpful with inspection

Zhenhua Zhang: I used this location twice for oil changes. The first time I took my husband's CRV which was only a few years old at the time and they told me the brakes were failing and I had to get them changed out because it was a safety concern. I went ahead and had them do the work. I went back a few weeks later in my car for an oil change (I drive by this location every day so it was convenient) and I got the exact same message. My rear brakes were failing and were a safety hazard. I better get them replaced or I was going to get into an accident. So given I had heard the exact same thing now twice for two vehicles that I had just come in for routine oil change I declined to do the work. My car has been absolutely fine and passed inspection 3 years each time since I was told my brakes would fail imminently. My husband's crv brakes on the other hand that I spent much money on to fix at this shop have utterly failed in just a few years. The terrible scraping noises it made did not give us confidence they worked nor that the car will pass inspection that is due. We just had them switched out at another shop. Despite driving by this store almost daily I will never be using their services for anything again. I have seen other posts now warning about the brakes here. Buyer beware.Services:Auto brake repair,Oil change,Brakes

Ahmad Zia Borhani: They helped with my state inspection. Nice people.

Caelin Bryant: Fast! Painless. Very nice group of folks. No complaintsService:Vehicle safety inspection

Abby Smith: Friendly staff, who gave helpful advice and speedy service. I waited maybe ten minutes to be seen and about the same for my inspection. Thanks Eli for the tips to keep my car running smooth!

Pete Shinn: TLDR: Never, ever use this business. They apparently enjoy preying on young women there.The details: I encouraged my niece to use this business because of its positive Google reviews. What a mistake. She went for a vehicle inspection and was told by Dennis Cassidy she couldn’t legally drive the car without getting a front break job, complete with new rotors and calipers— calipers which are available at any auto parts store for $75 or less, and for which she was charged nearly $500 each, before labor! That might be OK, except when she left after paying a grossly inflated price for the coerced break job, Dennis warned her to bring it right back if the vehicle made any funny noises. When it predictably did start making grinding and screeching noises every time she touched the brakes within hours after paying and leaving, my niece, as instructed, brought it back right away. Although Dennis had the car for two full days after my niece returned it, they never looked at it, and eventually my niece had to go demand her vehicle back from them, unrepaired. This is a business that preys on the unwary. They will definitely up charge you well beyond what’s reasonable, and you may or may not get your car fixed in the end, even after paying an inflated price.Service:Vehicle safety inspection

Meghan Urso: Very efficient state inspection process and very friendly staff!

Siddharth Jejurikar: Very fast and friendly!Service:Vehicle Inspection

Brianna Bettinelli: This is my second time going to Ted at Foreign Auto Center and both of my experiences have been fantastic. Once for a coolant leak and another time for new brakes on my Audi A3. Ted is so very kind, trustworthy, communicative, punctual and he definitely knows his stuff. He is very honest and never tries to upsell nor does he try to force additional services down your throat. Pricing is incredibly reasonable and they always get the job done well within the time frame that he tells you. One thing I really appreciate about Ted is that he's always willing to explain what the issue was, how it was fixed, and even goes out of his way to show me the parts he's fixed/replaced to so I can have a visual and learn a bit more about my car. I'd recommend Foreign Auto Center to anyone with a foreign car in the area!Service:Brakes

Anirudh Watturkar: Fantastic service. The mechanic was very responsive and explored all options for me to get the car fixed as cheaply as possible (checking for recalls with a dealership, doing a thorough investigation of the issue, looking into aftermarket part costs).After all of that, he gave me an honest opinion about whether the cost of repair was worth it.

Hari Pillai: Thank you Ted for doing a great and honest job on my brakes. Your new patron!

Chris Lahey: Great service and all the repairs have worked great. I even had one issue where they diagnosed it, didn't charge me for any fixes, but somehow the diagnosis process alleviated the problem.

Inna Gerzon: Honest and very nice guys who fix our cars!

Charles Covin: Services:Tires,General repairs maintenance

Wes Barlow: Ted and his team went out of their way to provide exceptional customer service and a top notch repair. They performed a thorough inspection of my Audi A4, quickly diagnosed the issue(s), and provided honest opinions on what repairs were necessary, and which ones were optional. I highly recommend working with Foreign Auto Center for your future car repairs.Services:Steering suspension repair,General repairs maintenance

Elaine Schear: Services:General repairs maintenance,Auto engine diagnostic,Oil change,Tire rotations,Brakes

Jessie Petersen: I have been coming here for years. Tony is awesome. Explains everything well and I always feel like I’m in good hands.

Milton Yarberry: I think I’ve been using Foreign Auto for 15 years now, and I’ve never had anything less than a solid experience. I trust Jimmy/Ted implicitly - which, given my circumspect nature and engineering need-to-know-the-details tendency, is kind of amazing.

Benjamin Saks: Solid repair service. When my own repair failed I wanted it done right and said I didn’t need it quickly but these guys got my Mini Cooper back to me in 1 day. Would use them again.

Marissa Beaudoin: 100% recommend. They are responsive, trustworthy, and really go above and beyond. Ted on numerous occasions has also provided helpful guidance and advice in the past as though it were his own car. Can't recommend enough!Services:Auto maintenance,Brakes

Ingo M: I have used Foreign Auto Center several times over the past 3 years, initially for a pre-purchase car inspection and since then whenever I had issues with the car. Prices are low, repairs are performed fast, well and everyone is friendly. I had asked to park my car a few days on their premises until I had received my license plates after the purchase (which was at the time no problem). If you want be sure to receive great service at low prices from a reliable team, you have found your place. The oldest review on google for Foreign Auto Center is 8 years old, and until today almost exclusively 5 start reviews, no 1 or 2 star reviews. That is quite impressive.

Ruochen Li: I went to the store to have my brake pad and rotor changed. Called weeks beforehand and they kindly gave me rough quote with different price range (since the exact part need to be measured). The service was great. Ted and Jimmy are very helpful, also explain to me how the brake systems work patiently. I'll have my front brake change there again since still waiting on parts. Highly recommend.Services:Vehicle Inspection,Brakes

Alex: I can’t even begin to thank these people enough. Great communication on the phone, prompt and thorough service when I arrived. I didn’t know the exact diagnosis of my A/C problem and they could have easily unsold or said a more extensive repair was needed. They addresses the problem, fixed it quickly, and tested it to make sure everything was in place. Great price, fantastic service. 100% recommend.

Roei Tzur: I had a great experience both checking and fixing my car several times. Ted is so helpful, honest and nice! Highly recommended!

Mark Kramer: Whenever I need my car (currently a Hyundai Elantra) repaired or serviced, I go to Jimmy's Foreign Auto Center. I've been going to the shop for more than 30 years, and I have always found the people there prompt, courteous, reasonably priced, and honest. Jimmy's Foreign Auto Center is far better than any other shop I've tried.Service:General repairs maintenance

Sarah Corrigan: Hands-down the best mechanics and quality in the Boston (if not, New England area)! Amazing prices and customer service!!!

Alexander Roy: Very helpful. Doesn't overcharge. If you have a problem you're not sure about, they're happy to advise over the phone.Services:Tires,Oil change,General repairs maintenance

Jose Elias Brambila Gaytan: Positive:Professionalism,Punctuality,Quality,ValueThey are the besssssst!!!Services:Brakes,Oil change

Nilesh Patel: Rude representatives and working staff.I wish I could give them star by minus -10.

Lynn Reznick: If I could give negative stars I would. They used to provide great service but in the last 2 years, I have had problems with the service, in my opinion questionable tampering with my car as opined by my long-term mechanic at another repair shop , and not providing parts that they said they would. Additionally one time they told me to drive into Bay 1 and the floor was missing. I was within a foot of falling into the well. Additionally even with an appointment they run well over the estimated time. Finally, with the new building there is no wifi or cell service. This is a know issue and fixable if they care about customer service which it is apparent they don't.

mike smith: I brought them my truck in for an oil change on Feb. 7th 2018. It was snowing hard that day when I dropped it off. I picked it up and hour later and off I went. A few days later I was sitting in another car and noticed the rear lower quarter panel between the rear tire and truck cab looked awkward and proceeded to take a closer look. I laid on the ground and saw that the panel was folded up under the truck about 6". I went to the other side and saw the exact same damage in the exact same location and both sides had marks like someone had lifted it up on a lift and the damage didn't have any rust yet and it hadn't been on a lift for a long time except at Cambridge tire in Stoneham Ma. I immediately called and drove over to talk with the manager. They denied it over the phone and in person saying there guys would never do such a thing. The manager Mike told me to bring it back and they would put it up on a lift and take pictures. The manager Mike said it looks like recent damage and he confronted the tech saying it looks like a vehicle lift did do the damage but the tech denied it still. They did submit a claim with their insurance (self insured) and I received a call from the insurance devision and they apologized and excepted ownership of the damage. I took it to their preferred body shop who fixes all the damage they do to customers vehicles. I keep calling, looking to settle with zero cooperation. Its been two months with no resolve and they are just plain rude on the phone at this place. Mike, Al and Paul you communication skills and integrity need some improvements. I have let many of my fellow Church members right across the street form your store know all about your practices. See you in small claims court.
