I had an appointment for my car to get an oil change and tire rotation. Arrived on time and the tech advised they were about 45 minutes behind. My appointment was at 2:00P. That isn’t surprising, since five minutes behind at the start of the business day could easily lead to 45 minutes by mid-day. Unfortunately, I was unable to leave it so I had to make alternate plans.

Felt as if getting scammed into many repairs on my daughters vehicle during a routine safety inspection, totalling around 6000$, ya wow, after getting another inspection to the day before at another reputable shop and only needed around a 150$ repair for the inspection to pass. You can figure out the rest of the story just by looking at the numbers, very dissatisfied customer that wont be going back for that kind of business practices.No thanks DobbsThumbs down very disappointing service and management for allowing that insane estimate for parts that wasnt in need of repair or in any danger to not pass a safety inspection.

Extremely dissatisfied! Took my truck to get inspected for safety and was told my wipers need to be replaced and my horn doesnt work. Quoted at $130 to figure out why my horn didnt work and I told them no because I knew it worked. When I got there I tried the horn, worked just fine. Had to show the mechanic that you just need to press the center of the steering wheel to honk the horn. The wipers that needed to be replaced were ripped half way down, this was not the case when I left my house or when I had my windshield installed a few days prior.Justin who I talked to at the counter however was very polite and had good customer service skills.

Justin did a very good job explaining what we needed and working up our quote and then making our appointment. Mike and Chris took wonderful care of us when we had our tires installed. They were very busy, but quite efficient and professional. We were very impressed for our first visit. Will recommend this place.

Got my car back on Saturday and yesterday(Monday) my check engine light came back on. Took it back today andwas told it would be another 2800+ after just paying 2100+ on Saturday, and they had my engine 75% disassembled, yet couldnt find the problem I took it in for today?? Seems to me like they just want to see how much m I need thay can get from folks

Watch out for this place especially if you’re a female. I was working out of town and they royally ripped off my wife. When I called the manager Bill over what he did, he not only lied to me, he implied my wife was the one lying. Fortunately I was working several hours away and had time to calm down. I wouldn’t buy a valve stem from Dobb’s or Bill Drummonds. We’ve never had this bad of an experience from any other tire place. Just be careful.

I hate being that guy who walks into a restaurant 10 minutes before close, you know, after everything is clean and orders a sit down meal. I had a pressing matter with my car and though I arrived as quickly as I could, it was still pretty close to close. The crew at this Dobbs location got me in anyway and took care of all and were very friendly throughout. It was nearly half an hour after close when I left. That is good customer service! Thank you to the Festus Dobbs crew!

This store was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. We found ourselves in an odd situation. Owning our vehicle less than 24hrs and somehow a nail ended up in the sidewall. It was unfixable. The vehicle a 2021 and no matching tire to be found anywhere. They went above and beyound to get this tire and take care of us. We will be back. Thanks guys🙂

Review №23

I strongly suggest taking your vehicle here for whatever it needs. They’re a little expensive but they stand behind their work and it’s always done right. I tried taking my truck to a small shop this last time to save a few dollars, they messed my truck up so bad after having it 16 days I ended up having it towed to Dobbs. Within 24 hours they redid everything the small shop did correct and had me back on the road. I won’t take my vehicles anywhere else!

Great service!I dealt with Mike (Service Manager) for a particular part I needed for my car. He found the part, called me multiple times for updates and had my car taken care in a timely manner.Thank you to your whole team as everyone was fantastic and very professional.

Excellent attitude toward customer service. When I was stranded with my convertible top down, they cleared my vehicle codes, put the top down and got me back on the road to the dealership for service and wouldn’t let me pay anything for their time. No business in it for them, but I’ll be back! Professional and courteous staff!! Kudos, Dobbs Team!!

Review №28

They took over an hour for a 20 minutes job. They stamped my paper stating Id be in the waiting room. They made me wait an additional 45 minutes because they couldnt be bothered to check their own waiting room. But they tracked down another client. Rather than apologize, they said they called and I didnt answer, which is a lie. I pointed this out but they still didnt think to be considerate and apologize. I have former family that used to work here. The new management and work is a joke. My car still wobbles. Invest in anywhere but here.

I had a tire emergency and from out of town. I called them on a Friday night right before closing and they were able to put 4 new tires on my car and have me on my way before noon on Saturday. Justin and mike were very professional and thorough. I recommend them highly! And their prices were great!

Came in, off the street, and they took me right away for an oil change. Very polite and courteous! Provided a very thorough analysis of my truck and identified issues that I will need to address in the near future.I Have been there before and I have total confidence in their professionalism. All interventions and observations are documented.They forgot to reset my “oil change needed” system requiring me to return. I was very satisfied with the service provided by Dobbs.

WOULDN’T EVEN LET ME PAY! Amazing. I went in with a flat tire. Turns out it was a goner. They fit me in fast, put on my donut for me than then didn’t charge me a dime. Wouldn’t even let me pay for the labor. Amazing! I’m a fan for life!

I notice that a lot of auto shops try to upsell me and make me pay for unnecessary work or parts. This is the only place Ive been that doesnt. Theyre honest up front about whats important and what can wait. Very friendly staff and they answer any questions I have happily. I also love their warranties, you really cant beat them in my opinion.

They told us they did a software update. We was told by the dealership they aren’t cape able of doing this. We took our car there several times to get it fixed and never fixed it right. We took it to the dealership where it got fixed the correct way. Will never go here again and will tell everyone I know not to go here.

Just left store. Went in to get tires rotated. Had misplaced wheel lock lug socket again. It came with the car when I bought it. Always has been a hassle. Jason, my mechanic, was able to remove the locked lugs and replace with regular lugs. He also rotated and balanced my tires. He should be commended for his excellent service. I will recommend this store to everyone.

My son had a blow out on the way home from school for Thanksgiving. He got the spare put on but tire could not be repaired. The Dobbs closest to where he was was booked until 8. The location in Festus was an hour away. Chris ___? Said he would stay one hour after closing so my son could make it home. This is amazing customer service!!!! Wow! His customer service makes me want to be a Dobbs customer for life. Thank you, Chris! I hope Dobbs recognizes your fantastic service. This mom sure appreciates it.Sandy DuncanCape Girardeau, MO

Review №79

This Dobbs failed my car on inspection for needing tires, wouldnt let me ask the inspector which tires needed to be replaced, went home and researched it and the tires I had on the car were perfectly fine to pass inspection. They also gave me a 2 1/2 year old tire when I paid for new ones (which lasted 20,000 miles). The employees are rude and one tried telling me the clutch on my truck was slipping when he killed it in the parking lot. All I can do is laugh at these guys

Had a flat tire when I left work. What could be worse right. Got the spare on and drove to Dobbs to get the tire repaired. It was done quicker than expected and they even put the spare (full size spare) back under the car which was a pleasant and much appreciated surprise. We were dreading put that darn thing back on. Thank you Dobbs of Festus. You made a bad day turn into an great evening.

Review №94

I like the ability to research online available tires for my car and placing order online was easy. During installation, worn struts and one ball joint were found. Quote was given and price for parts was less than what I could purcase locally. Installed next day and alignment finished. And I like the parts/labor guarantee. May not be worth doing my own work any more! I will be back.

Shawn hooked it up. He used minimal weights to balance my tires. If you are into off road type applications go here and ask for Shawn. Not an easy job due to the size. I will have them check my alignment soon. Stay tuned!

I was traveling to a funeral from St.louis to Little Rock Ark and caught a flat in the middle of the night on the hwy. All of the local tire shops were closed and NO one in the area carried my size tire. I had my vehicle towed to the Festus Dobbs location that evening to see if they could help me get back on the road. The following morning I went into the store and explained my situation of trying to make it to this funeral which is 4.5hrs away, but they also did not have my tire in stock!!!! The salesman said it would take a few hours until they could even get the tire on site then maybe another hour or so to put it on...So with that, I clearly knew I wouldnt be making the funeral..But to my distrus surprise 1 hour later I received a call that my car was ready!!!!The manager at this location sent someone out to personally pick my tire up and bring it to shop so that I could make it to the funeral...I was more than shocked and surprised, I was so over joyed and excited that I literally hard no words to explain how much I appreciated what these guys did for me..... Words can not explain the gratitude and respect I have fire them and how they helped me in my time of desparation..... I truly do appreciate the guys going over and beyond for me. Thank your so much.

Review №97

Their mechanic damaged the cars tire pressure monitor system. Dont believe them about standing behind their work. They claimed that all four sensors coincidentally failed at the same time and immediately following their work. No problems with the car for four years before taking it to them. Watch out for the up sell and added work as well.

Review №98

Oh my goodness, this is the slowest, most unorganized business Ive ever dealt with. Ive taken my vehicle there twice now and will never do it again. The workers are clearly unqualified to repair rims or minor vehicle problems. They cant even figure out how to measure my rims. I had to do it myself. They both times had my vehicle 3 days before even looking st it. I had to call repeatedly. I just dropped off my vehicle to get an oil change and new spark plugs 3 days later they still dont have it ready. I was told to pick it up finally at 1, I got there at 2...not ready, then I come back. They make me stand there and wait while they take several phone calls. Its just a mess. What kind of tire and rim place doesnt know how to measure rims?

Called and asked the Manager if he had my Tires in stock. He said yes. Arrived 15 minutes later and was told they had to be retrieved them from the warehouse. -3 Stars for the miss information. Dobbs wanted to schedule me for later in the week. I explained the Manager just told me on the phone he had them in stock and I was on my way. The employee was apologetic and had the tires in his store by 1:00pm that afternoon. Once they got the Tires in stock the install was quick and hassle free. +2 Stars.
