Mr. Tire Auto Service Centers Customer Reviews

I was on a trip from out of town and got a flat tire. I made it to the closest shop which was this one. It took 3 full days for the right tire to come, which is strange in a major metro area, and one that has 8 other Mr Tire locations. They tried to add brake fluid for $120, when I just took it to my Toyota dealership the week prior for an oil change and they said all other fluids were fine. Why were they looking at other things when all I needed was the flat tire replaced? When I went to pick up the car, the hood was left unlatched. Good thing I checked before I drove off! I was not aware that changing a tire required going under the hood. And on top of that my steering is tight and the steering wheel is now off centered- it's now noticeably turned to the right when driving straight. See photos. The final bill for 2 tires and an alignment was insane. I get there's "inflation" but I might as well have been robbed. Don't bring your car here. Get AAA and have it towed to one of the approved facilities. This shop isn't one for good reason :) Update: Just got back from my Toyota dealership and had to get another alignment done. They said it was done completely wrong and that some components were left fully loose which is why the steering was tight and not balanced. Basically I was lucky that the wheels didn't fly off :)

Went into this location and there was only one person in the waiting room. He was on the phone with someone else who clearly worked for the company — I could tell because they were discussing how to capture notes in the system. I stood there for over 10 minutes without being acknowledged. Eventually, I walked up and asked if I could do a drop-off state inspection. He told me they don’t have a state inspector at this location. That’s not a big deal, but the lack of basic acknowledgment or care was disappointing. As I was leaving, I noticed a small sign about inspections at the lot entrance, but it wasn’t obvious — that part’s on me, but he still could’ve saved me time by saying something when I walked in. Later, after getting my car registered at the DMV, I came back to ask if someone could help me put the plate on since I didn’t have tools. The manager told me to go ask a tech in the back, and the tech said it would be $20 cash just to screw on a plate. This place has zero hospitality. I would’ve given them a 5-star review if they had just helped me put my plate on. It’s clear they have no interest in helping unless it benefits them. I wouldn’t trust them with my car, especially considering they don’t even have a certified state inspector on-site.

I almost lost my car's engine On October 3rd, I went to Mr. Tire on Four Mile Run Drive in Arlington, VA, for an oil change. The next day, a warning appeared on my car's dashboard indicating a problem with the engine oil. I hadn't driven the car much since then, but suddenly, on October 17th, I received a warning that the engine oil was depleted and I needed to stop immediately. Fortunately, I stopped at a nearby mechanic, who added oil and informed me that “the previous shop that did the oil change did not replace the oil plug and that they found it damaged”. When I returned to Mr. Tire to ask for clarification, they told me that they do not change the oil plug during an oil change and that there was no evidence the oil plug was damaged during that process. They said this could happen at any time after repeated oil changes. However, I still have a lingering question: why did this happen immediately after I had my oil changed there? I asked a third technician for their opinion, and they responded: “Yes, a technician can cause damage to the oil drain plug during an oil change. This can happen if the plug is over-tightened, cross-threaded”. Fortunately, I didn't lose the car's engine after all this.

Great job on mounting and balancing my wheels and tires. I would definitely recommend them.

Had appointment for tire rotation at 1pm. Simple, $25 service. They kept me waiting over an hour while they conducted an unasked for "courtesy inspection" and then proceeded to tell me I needed an additional $1500 in work done. Look, I appreciate the hustle but they wasted my time on something my mechanic told me later was not a problem. After denying this extra service, I had to stand at the counter and continue insisting that the just complete the service I came in for and let me go about my business. This experience was mildly infuriating.
