Downtown Tire & Automotive, Inc.

I visited Downtown Tire this weekend expecting to pay upwards of $ 500 for repairs on my old Nissan. My power steering had been acting up for a few weeks and Goodyear quoted me over $ 800. They said I needed to replace all three components of the power steering system. I called around town to compare prices and Downtown Tire and Auto was the least expensive by far ($ 500!)
The man on the phone was incredibly knowledgeable and completely understanding that as a student, I’m on a pretty tight budget. He was willing to work with me in terms of cost if a competitor could do it for less and also offered me a 10% student discount.
After taking a quick look under the hood, he told me that nothing was in fact wrong with the power steering system itself. One of the engine mounts had actually broken, causing the engine to fall onto the power steering return hose. Had I gone to Goodyear, I would be out $ 800 and the problem wouldn’t have been solved.
In the end, my total came to just over $ 300 and my car is back to normal. I’m thrilled to have found a place with people I can trust and better yet – it’s close to my house and school! I will definitely be back for any and all car maintenance I have in the future.

Amazing. I made the mistake of trying a chain tire store first, they said they couldn’t plug my tire and it would be $ 280 for a new tire and theyd have to order it. I left upset and in passing by I saw this place, pulled in and my tire fixed in 20 mins. They charged me $ 28. AMAZING

Great prices on tires and maintenance. Best price in town.

Went here for repairs to the inside of my wheel well and an oil change. They were polite and got the job done on time and for what seemed to me to be a reasonable price. My car has been running fine ever since.
The place doesn’t look like much on the outside as you drive by, but I would definitely go back if I needed to. If you live downtown, they’re conveniently located within walking distance down Union Avenue, not far past AutoZone Park.
