CarX Tire & Auto

Li nda & john wilson. Lee/​russell/​and james are well on top of your needs. The service and price are very fair. The crew is professional and completes the job so we are satisfied. thats why we keep coming back I have reccomended this location to friends Corner of glenway and bouinot ave note LEE IS GREAT TO DEAL WITH; HE COVERS EVERYTHING YOU NEED.

Love this place. Honest, efficient with very reasonable rates and nice people to boot. I drive 1.5 hours from my new home just to have them service my cars. They do it all from the routine oil change/​tire rotations (at the best rates in town with or without a coupon) to replacing fan motors. All without an appointment while I waited.

Beware! They will try to over sell you!
I have been to this location a few times when I had unexpected car trouble and I always felt that they recommended unnecessary repairs and only offered the most expensive parts, but I never went so far as to prove it. Last week, however, I did. On my way to work I started experiencing car trouble so I pulled in to this CarX that was nearby, quickly turned over my keys, explained the problem, and ran out the door to catch a bus. I called when I got to work and the gentleman told me that the problem was a bad caliper, but that I also badly needed to replace the other rear caliper, both rear rotors and both sets of rear brake pads. He also «highly recommended» that I let them machine the front rotors since they were badly worn as well. All of this for almost $ 900. I asked how much it would cost to just replace the one bad caliper to which he responded $ 370.
To make a long story short, I did not have them do any work on the car. Instead, I got all of the parts from Auto Zone (2 calipers, 2 rotors, 2 sets of brake pads for $ 215) and asked my brother-​in-​law do the work. He replaced both of the rear calipers (only one was necessary, but he replaced the other for good measure), but was confused because the rear rotors and brake pads looked fine. Since he’s not a mechanic by trade, I asked another mechanic to take a look. He also said I had at least another year or two left on rotors and pads before they would need to be machined or replaced. For me, this is the proof I needed and I will never go back to this CarX. They do quality work but there are way too many other options for me to give my business to a place that takes advantage of the customer.
