Testimonials

Full-service automotive repair.  Come here for ALL of your needed auto engine repairs.  They take care of more than just tires and brakes.

I highly recommend this family owned and operated business, which not only provides competitively priced tire and brake service and outstanding customer service, but also provides a full range of top notch auto engine diagnosis and repair by certified mechanics. 

Last week after having my car battery die and unsuccessfully resolving the issue despite four calls for roadside assistance from AAA, which would not replace an obviously dead battery covered by warranty, in desperation, I had my car towed to Tires & Brakes for Less.  I had remembered the excellent work they did replacing the brakes on my car a few years ago, called them ahead of time, and they confirmed that they do automotive engine repair, including electrical and ignition/starter systems.  

After my car was towed to Tires & Brakes for Less, they promptly ran a series of diagnostic tests, verified that my AAA battery could not be recharged, and were able to start my car and operate it with all electrical appliances running with a new battery installed. Further testing determined that the alternator was going bad; it was producing AC power substantially in excess of normal limits. This could have been the reason why the battery (only 2 years old) died.  They recommended installing a new battery and a rebuilt alternator, which I approved.  My car is now running fine, thanks to Tires & Brakes for Less.

In the future, I will rely on the mechanics here for all of my automotive repair and servicing needs.

I cannot say enough good things about this place! 
They are thorough, conscientious, knowledgeable, kind, and honest!
I had searched high and low for a responsive and ethical company to take care of both my personal and my company's vehicles, and when I came across Tires & Brakes for less, it was as if the heavens have opened up and the angels started singing (seriously ;)
Their prices are more than fair, and they always go out of their way to accommodate you, with a sincere smile on their faces, and, in my book, that is invaluable!
I wholeheartedly recommend them, and while I do not look forward to my car being broken down, I do know that when it does, the Tires & Brakes for Less family will have my back! :)

I went here because my husband had purchased a Groupon deal. They have great customer service and when the oil change/inspection was done the mechanic sat down and explained his recommendations to me. He had found a nail in one tire and it was only $20 to patch it. He even went back and inspected a concern I had about the struts/shocks at no extra cost. I also appreciated their waiting room--stocked with magazines, coffee, water, and T.V. I would definitely go back for any maintenance or repairs for my car.

I went here because of all the reviews that I had read. I gave them a call in the morning to get a quote on a couple of tires and Maria was super helpful. The prices were less than Big O, which is a block from my home.  The job took all of about an hour, they have plenty of reading material, and a nice flat screen to occupy your time. I will be going back.

I needed tires for my wife's minivan and also for my Porsche. Shipped tires to T&B for Less based upon their reviews on http://tirerack.com. These guys did a super job fixing up my wife's van and also my car. I would certainly go back in the future as they were much less money than the competition up where I live yet had all the tools to do the job right. Lots of great automation and technology in this shop. And the family that runs the place were very helpful.
