Clyde’s Tire and Brake

I don’t normally recommend companies but I am making an exception with Clyde’s Tire and Brake because of their superb service and very reasonable prices. I bought my car in Miami when my lease expired over a year ago. I was informed by the dealer at the time that I needed to resurface the front rotors. I was quoted a price of over $ 550. Well, it’s been over a year so the rotors were definitely getting worse and I could not put it off any longer. Cris Crawford did the job for $ 229 plus tax and included 2 new break pads. They also used the on car lathe as recommended by VW, which not all shops have as it’s more expensive. Bob at the front desk is friendly and very knowledgeable. Cris, the owner, is a real gentleman and genuinely interested in doing a good job for his customers. Plus, they have the best prices in Gainesville for tires. I definitely give them a thumbs up!

Five stars isn’t enough to illustrate what terrific service and a great staff this is. These folks are great. We’ve taken our vehicles here for at least five years. Always treat us with honesty and friendliness. A very talented crew takes care of our vehicles. Gives us peace of mind knowing they’re here if we need them.

We’ve only had good experiences with the folks at Clyde’s during the last ~10 years. They are honest, give very reasonable estimates, and actually fix the problems without creating new ones. They listen, aren’t condescending, and have even advised not fixing a few things that would be costly but not necessary. We’ve moved across town but still trek out to their shop just because we trust them. Highly recommended.
