Warren Tire Service Center

The staff here was extremely attentive and careful when dealing with my vehicle. Because it is lowered with ground effects they had to try multiple different lifts to make sure they did not ruin the car in any way when changing my tires. They ended up using a floor jack and individually changing each tire because they didn’t want to take a chance with their lift. They took their time and did an exceptional job. A++

Purchased snow tires for my wife’s and my vechile, call and was given a quote which included mounting balancing which was cheaper than any other tire store in area. I made appointments for both cars when I arrived was greeted and showed the tires before mounting wasn’t long before car was on lift and tires installed My summer tires were in back of car neatly bag. The tires had a rebate which manager made out the paper work and a copy of receipt for me to send in for rebate just a nice touch. Over all made me feel they really appreciate our business. Will continue doing business with Warren in future as I need tires
Great job !

I don’t have a local mechanic here after relocating from out of state — not for lack of trying some independent mechanics here, who have been uniformly disappointing — so like a chump I’ve been going to dealers for routine maintenance.
So here’s an object lesson in the keep it simple, stupid principle. This last time I had to call up a dealer for my most ancient of vehicles, I got put on hold for the service center just to make an appointment. When I get transferred, there’s a message telling me if I don’t want to wait, I can make an appointment on-​line. I go to the website, click through the forms, and discover the form isn’t really to make an appointment, it’s to leave a message for somebody to call me to make an appointment over the phone. I go back to the phone. Get put through to the service center waiting line. Finally get through to a person, who tells me I will have to wait while they check on the computer for an available appointment time. Get put on hold. After a while, the phone switches over to the message telling me I can make an appointment by going on line. And the call gets transferred over to the switchboard, where I tell them I have been on hold for the service center, and I get put back on the waiting system for the service center again.
Getting the vague feeling this was counterproductive, I went back to the list of mechanics some local friends had given me and called up Warren. Talked to John, the manager, on the phone and made an appointment just like that. When I got there, I realized why it was so quick: they just had an old-​fashioned appointment pad they filled in with a pen. And there I was.
The no-​nonsense approach carried me through a small laundry list of low-​level maintenance, I was in and out in an hour and a half, and it was cheaper by half than the dealer was last time I went there. They didn’t have specialty parts I needed, and I didn’t have any major issues to go through, but they did find a couple of things on the undercarriage side I’d missed and showed me where they were and gave me realistic options about fix-​or-​ignore and where to part out the minor jobs if I wanted to do them myself and went through the paces of helping me find one of them.
So I haven’t put them to the test of a major repair, but that experience is four aces as far as I’m concerned for routine maintenance and I’ll keep coming back until I either scrap the car or become disappointed. Or get put on hold.
