Amherst Tire Center

First this place was a Goodyear tire dealer until about 18 months ago. Reviews before that apply to the previous owners. I am always skeptical of the new guys but they have been fantastic. They have done tire work and mechanical work for me. Always good work and fair prices. But the most important thing is they are honest. They don’t try to sell you things you don’t need. I have seen them turn away business when the work wasn’t needed. Highly recommended.

I got a flat tire and since this was the first time getting one I thought I had to buy a new one and didn’t know it could get repaired. I spoke to them and they said I didn’t need a new one and could probably just get it repaired — this saved me quite a bit of money. They were also very prompt and got my car back to me very quickly with great customer service.
I will definitely be returning.

Excellent service, above and beyond. We had a tire blowout on a pretty specialized tire, and all their locations and affiliates were backordered for four months, so they called a local dealer and asked them to set aside a tire for us, despite the fact they were losing our business. They were very friendly and helpful and devoted to getting a full sized tire for our all wheel drive when we had a spare.

I took my car to Amherst Tire for the first time this week, because I was having an issue with my car that I wasn’t able to diagnose. The mechanic was friendly and told me to drop it off the next day, and he would look at it the following morning (today).
I got a call from him this morning, and he told me what the issue was, and how much it was going to cost before he started anything. I agreed to the estimate he gave me, and he was able to get my car driving as good as new within about an hour and a half. My brake caliper had been stuck, and it was something that another shop in town failed to diagnose.
The other shop had told me it was an alignment issue, so I ended up sinking $ 100 for them to balance and align my wheels, then still have the problem persist. I feel sort of dumb for having to learn that the hard way, but I’ll certainly taking my car to Amherst Tire for the remainder of my time in the area.
I’ll also be needing tires in the fall, and will likely go here for that as well.
Overall: timely, completely up front with me, didn’t try to sell me things I didn’t need, fair price. That warrants 5 stars in my book :)

I bought tires here several months ago, telling them that I needed matching tires for my all wheel drive car. They gave me the wrong ones and when I found out that they were wrong, I went in to find out what we could work out. The owner not only insulted me, telling me that women know nothing about tires and that I was entirely wrong, refused to do anything to rectify my problems and then made a bunch of sexist remarks about how women shouldn’t be allowed to deal with cars. Avoid this place like the plague.

horrible horrible horrible! do not do business here. my daughter was in there this morning because the 4 used tires they sold her were flat the very next day. all four. they said they would give her money back for tires but they would not give her the $ 95 for installation! after 24 hours. then the woman started yelling at my daughter and swearing. welcome to crazytown. do yourself a favor and avoid this place.

I’ve bought tires here twice and had them work on my exhaust. The prices there are competitive. I’ve had them inspect my suspension and CV joint as well. They did it for free and also greased the bushings for free. I think they are an honest bunch.

They do a lot of automotive mechanical work but I usually stick to bringing them problems that only involve tires. I’ve not purchased any tires here as of yet, but I will certainly give them a try when the time comes.
So far I’ve brought a car tire and a tractor tire here for leak issues and both times, the fixed the problem. The tractor tire had to go back more than once, but there was never any extra charge for it.

Back when I had a car (a long long time ago, like 2006 ago), my tires went out semi-​regularly. I went to Amherst Tire after one particularly fun popped tire on the way to Burlington, VT. Not only did they get me out quickly, the price wasn’t terrible. After dealing with dealerships for as long as I had owned my car (which had been about a year or so), it was nice not to A. have to wait so long, and B. get a decent price.
