Bleke’s Tire and Auto Tuneup

If I didn’t have to give any stars I wouldn’t! I bought a tire from them and they didn’t offer road side hazard, which I understand they don’t have to, but I could have used it and thought maybe it was automatically in the price. Well I blew that same tire 10 days after and I went back in to see if they had some kind of warranty or if road side automatically came with it. Well the man behind the register was very rude from the very beginning! He asked me what was the problem and I told him. My boyfriend had told me not to have them put that tire back on because when I blew it I destroyed all the rubber inside, and I told the man this and he gave me a look and said «Well your boyfriend is stupid, how can he tell that?» So the man and one of the mechanics took my tire to the back and the man came back up and said «I’m going to plug it for you this time but next time I’m not going to help you out». To remind everyone, I was planning on buying a new tire from them but they didn’t offer and then insisted on my tire was fine. So they brought the tire back and told me it was going to cost money to mount it and it was ridiculous so I said I will go somewhere else. So they gave me my tire and I took it to Walmart, when I got to Walmart I asked the man to look at my tire because they said it was fine and I didn’t believe them due to what my boyfriend was telling me. (He’s also a mechanic and looked at it when it blew). So they took the tire and I was standing right there and he took the tire off of the rim and I saw something laying in the bottom of my tire and I thought it was the sensor so I asked, the man told me that it is the sensor and that Bleke’s broke it when he was plugging it and that he refused to do anything else until they fixed the sensor. So then I had to go back and tell the man at the register and he got very rude and lied to my face! He mumbled «you’re crazy because it was on there and I was back there when he plugged it» So I confronted him about calling me crazy and he corrected himself. Also he wasn’t back there when he was plugging it because he came back to the front and told me «I’m going to fix it this time but next time I’m not going to help you out». So no, he wasn’t back there when the mechanic was plugging it, he was also answering phone calls and tending to the computer! I reported them to the BBB and the man responded to my complaint with a lot of lies and said I had an attitude when I walked in, which I was very polite and said thank you and wasn’t rude with him until he was rude to me. He said I was worried about the price of the tire in the beginning, well he wasn’t the one who sold me the tire and if I was worried about the price then I wouldn’t have bought it from them in the first place! My tire pressure sensor is still broke and I got an estimate from Ray Skillman (where my car is from) to see how much it would be to fix it and I told Blekes and the manager David interrupted me and said «Im not even going to deal with you, your gonna have to deal with Ray Skillman». So I’m currently taking them to court. Im not paying for Ray Skillman to fix something that Blekes broke and refuses to pay to have it fixed! I don’t recommend this place at all! Very poor customer service!!!

If I could give no stars I would. This company is not honest, lazy and will rip you off!!! They told me once I needed a repair that I did not do & to this day that «repair» I needed has never been a problem. Now they sold me 2 tires and put them on back of the vehicle and did not rotate tires. When I called they said that’s how things are done these days. Yeah right lazy liars trying to rip off customers. Just go to Franklin Muffler and Brakes down the street and they also often have coupons. Their straight up price for an alignment beats Blekes by $ 10 even without using a coupon.

Fair price, good service and quick turnaround time… I will definitely be back so to give them more of my business in the future!

While passing near Franklin, IN we hit something on I-​65 that destroyed our tire. It was not an easy task to find a replacement as we apparently have an odd-​sized tire — 19″. Neither Walmart Auto Center or Meinike carried it in stock.
Bleke’s had it another location so they had it run over and were very quick to get it replaced and get us back on the road.
Thanks guys!

I blew a serpentine belt on a Mercedes while traveling on 65. The ONLY place I could find willing to fix AND find the parts that evening was this place. Not only were they courteous and helpful, they made sure we got back on the road safely that night. We made it back to Chicago with no problems. Thanks again guys!

Excellent service, good communication and a fair price. It’s tough to find good honest mechanics.

Our daughter attends college at Franklin and has her old 2000 Nissan there with her. It was making a noise and she is a freshman and we live in another state. She wanted to come home for the weekend but we weren’t even sure if that was possible to make the journey. They got her in right away to see what was going on. They fixed the problem so that she could be safe and told her there was one other thing that needed attention but wasn’t an emergency. They didn’t charge us for the quick fix or for looking over the vehicle. A parent’s piece of mind is work 100 stars not 5 but that’s all they allow me to give. Thanks so much for the speedy service. We will be taking it back there for repairs as needed.
We had no initial recommendation and the one review on here before us was all we had to go by. Thankful for Unilocal and this mechanic! Counting our blessings. :)

Got zero complaints. Super friendly staff, fair prices, and will give you an honest answer in regards to costs, etc. They dont leave you in the dark about your vehicle and the repairs it needs which is a huge plus. A little while back I my 2001 Pontiac to get the abs sensor reconnected, and get some pads installed. They struggled with the abs sensor for over 2 hours on my worn out man machine, and it refused to relent. However, after all this service, they didnt charge me a dime. Meant a lot as I had seen other car places charge for service time when they couldn’t seem to fix the problem. Highly suggest this business.
