Mr Tire Auto Service Centers

I took my car there as a referral from a friend. It needed a timing belt and the entire AC system replaced. I went to pick it up and was told that it had to be sent out because their «certified air conditioning technician could not get it to work. I wait another day and get the car back. I use the air conditioner for maybe six weeks. By end of the next summer it does not work. I called and was told that they can look at it but they only guarantee their work for 12 months. So $ 2000 later and having only used the air conditioner for a total of 6 months I am out of luck. I wouldn’t take my car back to these people ever. They are a huge rip-​off!
To top it off I just took the car to get the AC charged to see if that may help the situation and was told by my neighborhood mechanic that the compressor and condenser were never replaced as I was told and charged for! These people are criminal!

Other reviewers report problems, but my two years of Mr. Tires annual govt inspection, tire maintenance of previously elsewhere-​purchased tires, and minor mechanical help, taking advantage of their year-​round promotional discounts (flyers/​mailers/​online) & emailed inspection special have had no problem & they’ve answered my questions how to maintain my vehicle, & not tried to sell me anything.
Comfortable big waiting room with couch, tables, TV with remote, as others report great fitting you in & serving you quickly. Though confidence-​inspiring helpful front desk senior retired, a nice & careful young tech has been there the last two years.
Through that time they haven’t made available the green-​capped nitrogen tire fill requiring no maintenance, but when the front desk senior was there, he kindly & honestly recommended Bob Adams automotive in Lansdale for nitrogen, which after my research is now my backup emergency repair shop for my researched Godshall’s in Hatfield with nitro there too.

Better prices than firestone, dealerships etc. The price per tire wasn’t much higher than the cost to buy them online, so the margins can’t be too high. They also claim to price match on their website, but I couldn’t find a lower listed price in the area.
The online appointment making process is very easy and they were flexible afterwards.
The best part was they followed my instructions exactly and with no hassle. The TPMS system didn’t cause any issues as they sometimes can. I hit a pothole and had a new rim with me, and they still didn’t hassle me about an alignment I don’t really need. They did the job, I swiped the card, and drove away. There’s a pizza shop/​bar with happy hour food specials across the street while you wait. No complaints.

The guys are quick here, they just over charge on parts. But I’ve been going to them for ever.

This is an excerpt from my sisters Facebook page:

I needed to get some work done on my car, so my brother recommended Mr.Tire. It’s conveniently located across the street. Sorta. I can walk back to the apartment.
I said I wanted an oil change, the belts replaced, and because I was feeling lazy, the passenger side headlamp. It’s actually quite simple to do. The driver’s side requires removing the battery.
They call and say my car is ready.
I walk over and pay.
I get into the car, start the engine, and as is my habit, turn on the headlights.
The driver’s side is on. The passenger side is not. I get out to verify this.
I go back into the lobby and ask what happened with the headlight.
I had checked my copy of the service ticket to be sure it had been written up correctly.
The mechanic told me he checked the lights while sitting in the driver’s seat and the driver’s side light was out. Mistake #1. If a customer complains of a burned out light a technician is to turn on the lights, and get OUT of the vehicle to confirm the complaint.
He replaced the driver’s side light. It is a bit brighter.
He then tried to tell me that the passenger side light was experiencing a current drain from the new light. Mistake #2. Do not assume the customer is an idiot.
Mistake #3 was not reading the service order.

Derek here. I’ve gone to Mr. Tire since moving to Lansdale. They are easy for me to get to and easy walking distance, so I don’t have to wait in the lobby for service. That said, I won’t be going back. What they failed to understand about my sister is she knows more about cars than I do, what with her having a degree from UTI in Automotive Repair. *AND* she was a mechanic for a BMW shop in Houston.
All told, I’ve spent well over $ 1000 on my car and have referred about that much. I will not be doing that again.

While they were nice people, they provided me with inaccurate information that cost me $ 200. They explained that since I didn’t purchase their in-​house road hazard coverage, that my brand new tires would have to be replaced out of pocket. They didn’t explain that my Pirelli tires would have been covered by manufacturer’s warranty. In fact, they BLANTANTLY LIED TO ME and told me that they were NOT covered. All to make a sale. THESE PEOPLE WILL ACT LIKE YOUR BEST FRIEND AND THEN CHEAT YOU INTO SPENDING MONEY. Go somewhere else.

Super quick.
I brought my car for an oil change. Requested them to check my brakes too. While I waited, I was given a high speed WiFi pass. In just 10 minutes they checked the brakes and advised me that I could wait another 2 to 3 months. That was honest, I think. My car was ready in 40 minutes, oil changed and tires rotated. I’m impressed.

I’ve always had good experiences at Vespia’s. I’ve taken two cars here for a few years now for inspections and oil changes and have never had an issue. I’m a young girl to so its a big thing for me to walk into a service center and not feel like I’m being sold stuff I don’t need. They are very straight with you and try to help you out.
Another plus is that they give discounts to merck employees.

I’ve only gone here for OIL CHANGES.
They always run a sale for oil change at $ 20.
On top of that, they give you 1 free oil change for every 5 (i believe).
Service is pretty good. Staff really friendly. Flexible apt schedule, never had any problem with getting them to squeeze my car into their schedule on the fly.
I haven’t gone to any other automotive centers in the lansdale area to compare them to anyone. But, I’d recommend anyone and everyone to give them a try.
