They are very knowledgeable and fair. They were able to diagnose and fix a problem with our older vehicle that nobody else has been able to fix. Its now running better than it ever has. We are thrilled. We will continue to trust.all of our vehicles there.

Mike the manager and his staff of mechanics are really the guys you want working on your car. I went in for a simple alignment and these guys found balancing problems and tire thread patterns from my tires that weren’t giving me the best ride possible; they fixed these issues while my wife and I got some food at the grill next to this place and came back to what felt like a brand new car again in the steering area. Also they found some bulbs out and replaced them without hesitation to save me a ticket or annoying police stop. Bill came out really cheap and affordable when looking at what these guys did overall for me and my families safety. Anyways, I highly recommend this place to anyone who’s in the market for a fair, knowledgeable auto shop with good staff, great management and superior customer service.Mike if you see this, thanks again!

Shame! Shame! Shame! Family tire pros took advantage of an 18y/o AA girls lack of car knowledge and charged her $900 to put a starter in a 2001 Honda CRV! After documenting that there was no fault found in the starter.I guess we’re not family. I plan to report them to the BBB.

Mike and his crew are the best. Their customer service in great. They listen and treat me like I’m somebody special. I’ve been going to this location for over a decade and will continue to stay for a long time.

Good service & attention to detail. I had an incident with my last service provider in another state. Family Tire Pros worked with the warranty service company & got almost 40 percent of my billed paid by the warranty company. Thanks Mike & Bobby for working on my behalf. Ill definitely be back when service is needed.

Mike and his team went above and beyond to repair our van. The van was overheating. We were 1500 miles from home. We happened to be at their exit, so we pulled in, not knowing that they did more than tires. We did not need tires, but did need a van repair. They worked through the weekend, got the parts quickly, fixed the issue, and we were back on the road as soon as they could make it happen. We were quite pleased with their service. – Rick Thomas (South Carolina)

I have rated this Family Tire Pros in the past and have given a five star rating. My reason for taking two stars off is the stores policy for wearing a mask is not followed by all of the employees. When inside I expected the employees to wear masks but that was not the case. Some employees wear a mask even when outside, but the manager and a few others were too lax with their masks (wearing it below the nose, etc.) or did not wear a mask at all. As far as service goes this store is great. Every employee I have encountered was polite and helpful. Unfortunately due to their stance on mask wearing I will be looking elsewhere.Update 9/14/21 I just had to have another shop fix a jury-rigged job Family Tire Pros performed on my vehicle over a year ago on the wiring. Hind sight is 20/20 and finding another shop for repairs was the best decision Ive made in a long time. Try Anthonys Gold for accurate, honest and reasonable car care.

Stopped by for tires and an alignment on my truck near closing time. Mike Long stayed late to get the deal set. I dropped my truck off the next morning and they got the work done earlier than promised. Price was fair, customer service was excellent, and the work was performed earlier than promised. Not sure what else you could ask for. I will be back and would recommend Family Tire Pros in Southlands to anyone that needs tires and/or an alignment!! Thank you Mike and team!!

Mike was willing to be helpful, and showed knowledge. He seemed to work well with others, I heard some banter with Enrique I believe was the name. Just came for a rotation and balance. Got me in with no appointment rather quickly and communicated about the customers in front of me. That’s about all you can ask for. And of course, reasonable prices. Appreciate making a usually annoying errand that much easier.

Great experience. Stopped by on a day they were very busy, made an appointment for a couple days later to have the tires rotated on my daughters car before she returned to college. They got me right in and the work was done within 30 min or so for a very reasonable $20. Will be returning with my truck for same service and possibly replacing the tire pressure sensors. Thanks and job done as promised for a decent price.

Review №35

The guys at family tire pro know there stuff when it comes to tires. Every time I have been there they have done everything they can to help me. I had a nail that ran through the tire and was dangerously close to the side wall to put a patch. Mike recommended that I not patch it. It’s just to risky to rely on a patch that is close to the outer wall due to flexion. He said it like putting a bandage on an elbow, it just won’t hold as good as if it were in the center of a tire.These tires are NEW! And everybody who drives and buys tires know you never want to hear that one of tires is bad and you have to buy a new one. But I bit the bullet and took his strong recommendation to just replace the tire. Thanks Mike and all the guys over at Family tire pros. I will be back!

I had a slow leak from one of my tires. They looked at it and said there was a screw in the sidewall and all four tires had to be replaced for $1200. I got a second opinion and found out that the screw is not in the sidewall and the tire was repaired for $75 in my driveway by SJ tire.

I have been going to Family Tire Pros for over 15 years. They earned my trust over the years with their excellent customer service and friendly staff.

Im new to the area and received a coupon in the mail for an oil change for 19.99 from family tire pros. I went and redeemed it in a used truck I bought a couple of weeks ago , after the oil change they showed me a list of things they found that might need to be addressed in the near future , I really appreciate the fact it was a list of to dos and not a bill for what else we took care of lol thanx Mike

Review №60

Customer service makes all the difference. My power steering pump went out on an older 4x4. Since it doesnt accumulate a ton of miles, it was my decision to go with a re-manufactured pump. After being sent 2 faulty units and covering the cost to install a new (aftermarket) pump, none were effective. This job blew up in their faces because of bad aftermarket parts and I was out a vehicle going on 6 days. Noticing my frustration (not with them), they ordered a factory-new pump and performed the final replacement at no additional cost to me. Then, drove my truck to my house and dropped it off with the new warranty paperwork. This was truly a situation where what could go wrong, did. Despite all that, they kept in constant communication, always performed the work quickly and to the best of their ability and never wavered from the original quote. In addition, I was offered reimbursement for a rental were I to go that route. They handled this situation with professionalism and honesty. Both are rare qualities in this industry. Albeit a less than ideal experience, they earned 5 stars because they handled it admirably. I will undoubtedly use them again in the future.

They are always super friendly extremely helpful and priced right. Recently my daughter’s car was stalled and wouldn’t start.

There is no better place to take your car. They truly care about their customers. I came in the day before a snow storm (bad planning on my part) they were short-staffed but they still promised to get the tires on my car so I could be safe on the road. Turns out that so many others had done the same thing that they had stayed late to make sure that everyone was going to be safe in the snow the next day. What a bunch of sweethearts! I feel so lucky to be a customer here. I live in Denver now but I’ll take my car the extra 30 minutes across town to get service here. My family has come here for years and we’ve always been satisfied with the quality of work and customer service. Thank you for treating us like family!

Got a same day appointment to check a leak in my tire. I was in and out in 30 minutes and they didnt charge me for anything! While I was waiting I listened to Mike give a quote to someone for a new set of tires. I was very impressed with how much time he took to explain the break down of pricing and all of the options and services. He was very upfront and transparent about all potential costs. I used Family Tire Pros based on a recommendation from my Dad and I can see why he insisted that they were the best. Their customer service and integrity is a rare find and I will also be a customer for life.

Sean at Family Tire Pros is focused on customer service. I’ve been in to have my car looked at and I have always been given an honest answer. I recently had it estimated to repair my car for $1500+ but we had a real conversation that if I was planning on buying a new car, putting that kind of money into it wouldn’t make sense. I went back the next week for an oil change and they did a great job. I’ll be a repeat customer for sure!

My tire was flat but it was rusted onto my car so we couldnt get it off. I knew we were near Family Tire so I called them to see if they would be willing to help us remove the flat tire. We brought it by and within 20 minutes Shawn had the tire off and the spare put on. He was so nice and friendly and willingly answered all of my dumb questions as he was working. I am so thankful and appreciative for his help. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

The place was amazing The store managers name is Mike! He did an awesome job on helping me get my Tesla Model S 2014 new tires and up and going back on the road this adventure all started yesterday. They ordered my tires they stayed after hours to get the job done! now we all know being Tesla owners were always worried about where to get tires from and I can save this Im only getting tires from these guys for the remainder time I drive an electric vehicle. any Tesla owner who is looking for reliable friendly convenient place needs to come to family tire pros Auto service center! The tire mechanics name that change the tires was AJ. He went above and beyond to learn about a Tesla this was their first time ever working on one so was I a little worried Yes. But after the tires were changed and the job was done did they give me a piece of mind Yes they did! So a great shout out to family tire pros Auto service center thank you again and anytime I hear anybody asking for tires even though I live 90 miles away I will still recommend you guys!

My lady had problems with her Toyota and she took it here and they had to do a diagnostic check and they told her it was going to be around $200 after they fix the problem and found out it was just her battery being loose! When I got there to pay they only charge us $75 cuz they said it was depending on what was going on! They treaded us like we where family! (Just like in the business name) Man that was some great new for us they are very understanding and I would recommend them for future services! Highly recommend this place!!

I absolutely love this place. I have taken several cars there to have them worked on and have always received superior service. Their pricing is some of the best around and they never try to scam you. Matt (one of the managers) is always courteous and takes the time to explain exactly what they need to do BEFORE they do it so that way there are no surprises involved.Im giving them 5 stars because I have honestly never had such a great customer service, car care, and pricing experience at any other shop.

Review №82

After asking many friends and neighbors about where to take my Jeep, I finally convinced myself to visit Family Tire Pros in Aurora. My Grand Cherokee had seen better days but I was determined to bring it back to life. Immediately after talking with Matt and Dan, I recognized that my car was going to be in good hands and I left my Jeep with them for the week.Both Matt and Dan kept me informed throughout the entire process of evaluating all of the issues with my car (which I knew there would be many). When it was all done, I had a comprehensive list of work that needed to be done, why it needed to be done, and prioritized it. Not only did I get a list of what needed to be done, but every repair was explained in detail to me so that I could make informed decisions about the work.A week later, I have a fantastic driving Grand Cherokee with new snow tires and I wont take my Jeep anywhere else. The entire crew at Family Tire Pros in Aurora is fantastic and professional and I hope they stick around. The honesty and integrity within this shop is top notch. No scare tactics, no pushy upselling, just an honest shop.Adam - 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo (139,400 miles)

The staff at Family Tire Pros is courteous and professional beyond expectations of boutique repair shops I’ve worked with in the past. I’m pleased with their work which appears to be as good as the MB dealer service and repair shop I’ve used previously. I’ll stick with these guys from now on most likely! Thank you for your prompt service and timely repair of a problem we encountered a few weeks past the service; no charge for that and no excuses either!You guys ROCK!

We recently moved into the SE Aurora area and were in need of a new convenient mechanic. For whatever reason the car gods are upset with us and we’ve had all sorts of vehicle drama as of late covering standard and non standard maintenance, new tires, and alignment work (after another shop completely blew it).

These guys are amazing after calling 5 other stores who were supposed to be a be able to take of my tire warranty, and being given the run around I finally called these guys. Matt the Manager was more than amazing, he told me to come on up ( I Currently live in Colorado Springs) and he would get me taken care of. He told me that prorating my current tires would be no problem. As soon as I got off the phone with him he had my tires on order. The Next day when I went up, I was really impressed as I was immediately greeted and Matt started taking care of my warranty paperwork. They had me in and out in under an hour as one of the techs started my truck as we were still taking care of the paperwork. I couldnt have asked for a friendly and welcoming experience. Amazing service guys.

Review №93

I started taking my family’s cars to Family Tire Pros a few years ago after a friend’s recommendation. Immediately, I loved the store. Dan and Matt were so friendly, honest, and always went above and beyond the call of duty. Once my car had smoke pouring out from under the hood. They not only talked me through it when I called in a panic, they drove to my house to give it a peek. They went out of their way to explain weird problems and were adamant about only doing the work my vechicles required.When the shop changed hands, I was nervous. I had finally found a car shop that I trusted, and I was worried about having to find another. I have been so pleased that the store has maintained its honesty and good service under the leadership of Shawn and Bobby. These two are the epitome of the people you would want to guide your wife, mother, and friend when having to make serious financial decisions about their car.In the past, automotive shops have tried to take advantage of me as a woman walking through the door alone. I’ve felt that Shawn and Bobby have gone out of their way to protect my car, my safety, and my family. Last year, I bought an oil change punch card through my child’s school at another auto organization. On two occasions, I left there with a long list of “major problems” with my car that need to “be addressed immediately”. Both times I took that diagnostic report to Family Tire Pros to find the condition of my car was not nearly as dire. They took the time to walk me through the diagnostic report from the other store, show me the part in my car that was mentioned, show me what a working part would look like and what a dysfunctional part would look like, and explain the options. They truly want me to understand my car and the work that it requires to function properly. For work I DID require, Family Tire Pros’ prices beat that of the local competitor by several hundred dollars.I’ve recommended Family Tire Pros repeatedly to neighbors, friends, and family, and all clamored about the honesty, fair prices, and good service that Bobby and Shawn deliver. They take additional care of fire fighter families like ours by offering a firefighter discount to those who serve our community. I am honored to live in an area where, when car problems do arise, I have a community member up the street that I can trust to get my car back in action quickly, safely, and fairly. Thank you, Family Tire Pros!!

Review №94

Dishonest people, plain and simple. You keep treating hard working families like this and this place will shut down soon! I referred this place to some friends of ours, and that’s when I realized how dishonest they really are. They attempted to fix things but it didn’t work, and yet charged thousands of hard earned $$, no warranty, nothing!! They will install alternators, starters, batteries, etc. and the problem turns out to be completely unrelated to all of that when you take your car somewhere else, like a different shop, one that is honest and ethical! I’ve learned my lesson, I am taking all of my cars somewhere else and I will never refer this place to anyone!!
