Liner Tire

They said it would take an hour to change oil and rotate tires. It actually was a bit quicker than that. My car was making a weird noise when I took it in — the noise is gone. They seem to do really good work, and do it quickly. All the other customers were saying «already» when they were told heir cars were ready. I will definitely be going there for oil hanged from now on!

I usually don’t write reviews but I have been to Liner Tire multiple times and have always had a good experience. I always receive honest advice at a fair price. They are efficient and don’t try to oversell. I called last week when our car had a blow out flat tire — they got us in and out in less than an hour. If you buy snow tires from them, they will also store your regular tires during the Winter months — which is really convenient. I would always prefer to shop local and its nice to have a trustworthy tire place in the neighborhood.

I like this place and I go here anytime I need new tires even though i don’t live as close to it as i once did. The atmosphere is always very laid back. They even gave me a break on the price of my tires when I need 4 new (very expensive) tires on my car after hitting a horrible pothole while I was unemployed a few years ago. I was told to leave a good Unilocal review so this is my legally obligated good review. I would whole heartedly encourage anyone to go here. I wish all places that did work on cars were like this.

Went in for a flat tire back on October 2^nd (and went to Liner because of its good Unilocal reviews). Service was fast, the guy behind the counter was very polite, and they were happy to give me the best deal (they didn’t try to sell me a higher quality tire than I needed for my 15 year-​old car). Overall a positive experience, and I would definitely recommend them to a friend.
The reason why I’m giving a three star review (instead of a five star) is because they waaaaaaay over-​torqued my lug nuts when they put the new tire on. I can’t remember whether I specifically asked for the right torque (in my case, 80 ft-​lbs), but the nuts were much tighter than would be needed for any passenger car. I noticed this today while checking my brakes; I needed to use a long breaker bar to get the lug nuts loose. It’s lucky I didn’t get another flat on the side of the road, because my car’s included wrench would not have given me the leverage to get the rim off — plus, over-​torqued lug nuts can lead to permanent damage.
Summary: They have great service, but you have to be careful that they don’t over-​tighten your lug nuts — next time I’ll be sure to ask for my specific torque (which is always a good policy), and I hope they’ll be willing to accommodate that (if not, that’s why I have a torque wrench in the trunk!).

You better think twice before coming here. Service sucks honestly they don’t even offer warranty stay away. When I called they were absolutely so rude.

Honest and reliable. I’ve been there twice now and have been happy with them both times. Both times I went in with an emergency and they fit me in right away.

I had an appointment at 9 a.m. for oil change and tire rotation, but arrived early and they were able to take my car. The staff and services were pleasant and fast. Would definitely take my car here again.

Highly recommended liner. These guys are great. Like your friendly repair shop in a small town –feel. I feel like I can totally trust their advice and opinions and never feel like I’m being ripped off or told unnecessary repairs. I’ve gone to them to fr some minor things checked on in my car and also gotten new tires. They’re always fantastic.

Pros — Love the pup
Cons–
Stained my car interiors. The mechanic initially refused that it was their fault and after pointing out stains on inside and outside of the door as well as the center console he started blaming it on someone else and didn’t end up cleaning it well. Tan interiors are still stained
Did not reset my oil gage (being a newbie, I’d probably go back a few months sooner had I not known)
Found a fault in my tire but refused to help or entertain my questions but saw another customer walk in with the same issue and they helped her no problem
Do not top off other fluids unlike most other merchants
Don’t offer Groupons if you will not treat your customer with the same

Highly rec this place – always kind and helpful. I’ve been several times over the past year with car issues, and every single time they show great customer care. I only go to this place – you can trust them! And, who doesn’t want to play with a pup while waiting for your car to be serviced?!

1÷24÷2015 visit based on a $ 17.75 groupon for oil change — I will never go back
I tried to present my groupon before service. the man told me to do it at the end.
At the end he tells me it’s $ 5 for recycling when no mention was included on the groupon. The 50 and 60 year old men said groupon forgets to put it in, but that’s not their problem.
Secondly, I told them I had a bit of noise on front left wheel and after oil change they told me I needed new outer + inner tie rods: $ 275 + $ 65 alignment (special discount he said), and I could take $ 5 off from that.
Because I have lifetime alignment for free at Firestone, I took it there to see if they could match the price. Firestone matched the price, but in the end told me that there was nothing wrong with the tie rod and the only alignment was performed.
I have been driving fine, the noise is gone. I thought it anything Firestone was going to take me for a ride… what do you know!!!

My Audi needed its new front tires balanced and adjusted as I was getting some wheel shake around 75 – 80. Audi of Brookline spent way too much time trying to upsell me in services I didn’t need so I went over to Liner.
The mechanic rebalanced my tires and adjusted one of my front calipers too. The car has drastically reduced shake and the brake adjustment feels quite smooth. All this for $ 30!

It took them over an hour (90 minutes) to change oil in my car. Also, mysteriously — my speed sensor broke right after they changed the oil and a check engine light came on. I spoke with the owner and he said that they did nothing wrong. I am not so sure. The negative eview is mostly for the sheer amount of time I had to wait for them to change the oil.

I came for the first time for new tires for an old car and walked away satisfied. I had to come back shortly after because I ran over a nail and needed to fix that up, too.
Since then, I’ve only really needed an oil change but will continue to come to this place for the work my car needs! Why? Convenient location, Brady (the chocolate lab that everyone is talking about and pictured above), efficient and friendly service, free wi-​fi, and spacious waiting room. People are usually unhappy when they need to service their cars because it’s stressful/​inconvenient and a money-​guzzler, but it seems the folks at Liner Tire take everything in stride and have good rapport with their clientele. Seems like it’s a family business and I’m all for supporting local so kudos to Liner Tire!

I got winter tires put on my Florida car. I really like the dog that frequents this place. He/​she was very sweet. There should be more dog friendly businesses around here.

They did everything right. Got a quote for four new tires with balancing and alignment one Saturday and dropped my car off to get the work done the following Saturday. I noticed after the Saturday I got quoted that I could get a discount on the alignment using the Unilocal check-​in. The gentleman at the front desk had no problem rewriting the quote to reflect the discount and had my car serviced within an hour. I will be recommending these guys to any friends in the area that need tires done.
Ohh and they have a super friendly chocolate lab.
A++

Great experience.
Stopped in to have a nail removed/​tire patched, and after inspecting all of my tires it turned out that two had very worn treads. After taking a look myself, I agreed and to be honest, I was thankful that they took the time/​effort to look my tires over and go the extra mile.
Friendly staff, comfy waiting area, and fair pricing.

This place is good. I’ve had a couple tire patches done (nails love my tires apparently) and bought some new tires from them. Prices are fine and they are good with customer service. They’ll mention sales/​discounts to you and everything, so not looking to gouge people at all.
Work is done pretty fast. I usually just stop by and they can get me out in 30 minutes or so. If you had a larger job, I would schedule it because they seem to have pretty steady business.
I’ll go back to these guys again.

Fast complete service, had our new tire and oil changed in a couple of hours on a very busy day. Had out tire in stock and prices were competative. Very convent for a Boston or Brookline residents.

After hitting a curb, a friend pointed out that I had a small gash in the tire. I took my car to a chain store where they put my spare on and told me my tire was a special order and it would come in sometime on Friday. Not wanting to deal with that, I went on Goodyear’s website and found Liner Tire right down the road. How had I never noticed they were there before?
From first call, they were incredibly courteous, had my tire in stock and told me to come on down whenever was convenient for me. Showed up and was in and out in under 45 minutes for 20% less than what the chain store quoted me. While I was there, it was amazing to see them know almost everyone who came in the door like they were old family. And to boot, they have a resident dog that is eager for petting, free popcorn, wifi and close to the T. I’ll never go chain again!
