Fred’s Tire Center

I have bought several sets of tires from Fred’s. Michelin to be exact. However I will never take any of my vehicles there again. After spending $ 609 on front brakes, I still had a vibration in the car. Turn out it was tires and not the brakes at all. I then spent another $ 800+ on new tires. After all that I then had noise out of the front brakes which was not there before. I was refunded about $ 381 dollars and was told by the owner that I was trying to get something for nothing, when all I wanted was my daughters car fixed. After spending time out of work bringing the back to this shop, I finally gave up as the attitudes towards me became less than courteous. Needless to say I did get my daughters car fixed somewhere else. I’m very disappointed, I will never use the shop again. I was like everyone else in Columbus, and would always come here. NO LONGER A CUSTOMER. Robert B.

Been going to Fred’s for years, so am reluctant to post something negative, but a simple tire replacement /​alignment problem has caused me a year’s worth of problems. I purchased 4 new tires from them in February 2014, and had to take my car back 3 times in hopes that they would fix the horrible rattling throughout my car. They said they had no record of my purchasing the tires from them. After 4 attempts at having them fix a simple alignment problem, my car is now having to get new tires from Bross tires in less than one year of use, no thanks to Fred’s. (And, I am not hard on my car). I hated posting this, but I second Thad W’s post that Fred’s emphasizes quantity over quality.

Good shop if you need your car alignment done go there and ask for Terry. He does a very good job. I wouldn’t have anyone else.

I’ve purchase several sets of tires from Fred’s Tire. My parents have been going here for years. I love the staff, always friendly and the service is very fast.

When we had a flat tire in uptown Columbus, AAA could not change it because the cable holding the spare in place was corroded and could not move. I had it towed to Fred’s on a friends recommendation and they replaced the tire very quickly but they also lubricated and freed up the cable to the spare free of charge! I will be back there for more tires and service! Fred’s is also very convenient to the Medical Center and Uptown.

«Awesome. Honest. Fast.» Couldn’t have said it better. I’m new to town and went to Fred’s based on a friend’s recommendation. I came in with two mysterious problems — Fred’s quickly located the issues, referred me to another shop for one and fixed the other, which was a quick fix, for free. It is refreshing to find somewhere I can get good, HONEST service at a reasonable price. Fred’s will ALWAYS be my first stop!!!
