34000 miles on Goodyear tires with a 65000 mile warranty that they will not honor. Normal wear, frequent rotations. Tires should not have to be replaced but the tread is shot on all 4 tires. They charge a fortune for the install work ($500 for the tires, almost $1000 total price) and then won’t stand behind what they sell. I’m getting better tires with the exact same install work for $700 with nicer people elsewhere. Free Service is a ripoff and I will never go back and I will be telling everyone I know to stay away.

Great Service at decent prices. People at the front desk were very nice and helpful, didn’t feel pressured into saying yes to services and products that I didn’t want, and service was good! No complaints and well worth it!

Great customer service! Carl and his crew really helped us out when we ran over something that put a hole in our tire. Right at closing time, they stayed late to patch our tire, which allowed us to get home (3 hrs away). Grateful for their service.

On a recent visit to Johnson City to visit friends, I ran over something and got a hole in my tire. By the time I got to Free Service Tire, it was already completely flat. Carl was super nice and got it patched up quickly and efficiently. Thank you!

I went to several different places to get a tire fixed, stopped by Free Service and got the best costumer service ever!!!!! Thank you for making my day!!!!!! And thank you for fixing my tire, I would definitely recommend here to anyone!!!

First and foremost the two guys at the front desk are outstanding and super friendly. My issue comes in when I realize Ive paid higher than average pricing for services that have not fixed the problems with my vehicle. I came in and paid around 400 bucks to fix some brake squeaking..issue was not resolved. Paid 125 for check engine light diag and rough idle....issue was not resolved/has returned...heres the big one....paid 800 dollars for a power steering repair...the power steering now works but its still relatively stiff. Consider other mechanics before coming here.

Absolutely incredible place to take your vehicle for repairs. Explained to Carl that I was 500 miles away from home and had absolutely no idea what was going on with my vehicle and he got me in right away. They took it for a test drive. The mechanic then took it into the shop, lifted it up in the air and noticed that my left tire was extremely loose. They tightened everything back up again and was able to get me back on the road again. Thank you so much Carl and staff!

Free Service Tire has been servicing my familys vehicles for many years. They have taken care of tires, brakes, and other service needs for 4 vehicles and I have never had any issues with the quality of the repairs and maintenance of these vehicles. Their prices are competitive and their staff is always friendly and helpful.

I needed to have my headlight bulbs replaced and called Free Service to see if they had any openings. I was able to bring my car in within 5 min of calling.

Extremely happy with my experience with this business and their staff. Today was my first time here and everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. I went in to get a brake inspection and found out I needed new rotors and brake pads. They also changed my oil which I appreciated because it saved me the time of having to go elsewhere . They made the process quick and easy! Also very grateful I wasnt pressured into buying any additional services! Would recommend them 100% !!

This is the most positive mechanic experience I’ve ever had! Normally when I go to a mechanic they tell me I have 101 things I need to change and charge me a ton but this place got me in and out for free and relieved all my worries. I went in because I thought the starter on my car was going bad but they quickly let me know what the real problem was and even gave me a suggestion as to where I could go for electrical work. So courtesy, kind, and knowledgeable 11/10!

Was on 26 and ran over something. Tire went flat in a minute. I thought the tire was shot. Nursed the car to their shop with a 12 volt pump and a can of spare tire. Carl was great and the service was straightforward and fast. Myself, my girlfriend and our two dogs were invited into the waiting area. What could have been a real pain turned out better than expected. Nice to find a friendly and honest shop!

I loved my experience here. I had called before arriving to the business to confirm if they were able to work on the signal light on my vehicle. The person I had spoken with on the phone had great customer service and was very warm and friendly. The work I received on my vehicle was appreciated. I believe the people here did a great job with working on my vehicle with care! Highly recommended place to go!

I set up a appointment online for my 1996 truck for front tires. I get there they don’t have the tires after they said they where in stock at location. Then trying to charge me 120 dollars for a 2 wheel drive vehicle front end alignment when it should have been about 60 to 90 bucks I would been satisfied with just small adjustment if anything the alignment was bad and I need a fix it would care how true it would have been anything would be better then now

My daughters tire pressure light was on and tried checking fuse and tire pressure, nothing worked so I took her car here explained to a great guy there Garrett Hartman what was going on and after maybe 5 mins he had resolved the issue, some of the tires had been over filled by the place she got her oil changed and also there was this very particular steps you had to do when resetting it. Well I asked do I owe you anything he said No your all good. I was so grateful other places would of probably charged some diagnostic fee but not this guy. Big shout out to you Garrett you sir are awesome!!!!

Excellent customer service! Id picked up a nail in my tire and they got me in quickly to look at it. The customer waiting area is comfortable and I didnt have to wait long. Also, since the nail didnt puncture the tire they did not charge me. Just super nice workers. I highly recommend.

I replaced several suspension components myself on my F-250 and needed an alignment. I had originally scheduled an appointment somewhere else (that was not a Free Service shop) but when I showed up, I was unable to get aligned because they said their alignment guy called out for the day. Went down the road to Free Service and they worked me in the same day and took care of it quickly. Truck drives great and alignment is perfect. Ill be back for tires; you guys just gained a customer. Thanks!

I found a nail in my tire this morning and I called Free Service Tire & Auto Centers off Boones Creek to see if they could work me in today to patch my tire. They got me an appointment only a few hours after I called and they did a great job at a great price! The staff was kind and helpful, we will definitely be back! Based on our experience with them, there is no way we would go anywhere else when we have issues with our vehicle.

Review №51

Five stars. The products and services were provided as described. The waiting area is clean and comfortable. Ive dealt with Garrett and Mike both before. Both of them and the rest of the staff Ive encountered have been great to deal with.That being said, from the counter perspective it seems like a sales environment, which is neither good nor bad. Theyre going to recommend other things you may need (to varying degrees of urgency) and try to (like everywhere else) sell a warranty. For that reason, the first price you hear might be more than you expect depending on the circumstances. Just ask questions line by line to understand what theyre recommending, why theyre recommending it, and how much you need/want it. Theyll kindly explain it. If you see the value in it, go for it. If not, then dont. Its simple as that.

I came in with faulty brake lights and a constant ABS warning, and the crew here were both kind and *incredibly* efficient. Less than two hours after I dropped it off, they called to tell me it had already been completed! They wasted no time and gave me a very fair price to boot, I would definitely return here. Highly recommend!

I visited Free Service in JC on September 28th and the guys there were nothing short of wonderful. From the initial phone call, to the gentleman who checked me in, to the service tech, they were all extremely kind, informative, and helpful. They answered my questions, found my issue, and even stayed after for a part to be delivered to make sure the job got completed that day. I highly recommend their services and will definitely go back for future service.

I was able to bring my Jeep in first thing, and they had it repaired by the end of the day. I appreciate their fast, quality service.

We are very pleased to have done business with Free service tire & auto in Johnson City Tennessee. Mike was very genuine and appreciative of us in choosing this business for a line up, and a round of tires. We brought our 2018 Subaru Outback in on a Saturday around 1 oclock, and by just after 4 oclock, it was ready to go as promised, squeezing us into a very busy day of scheduled appointments. My wife and I are very happy with the line up, the tires, and the personalized service we experienced at this place of business. I also plan to have Mikes team to install new tires and check alignment on my 2013 Ford F-250 next week. I highly recommend this business to anyone needing an alignment, and/or tires. If I could give a rating over 5 stars, I certainly would. Thanks to Mike and his team.

Review №65

I had a coupon for an oil change $24.00. They said my car could only take a more expensive change, which after being charged $75.72, I looked up online that my 2011, 6 cylinder camaro took the conventual oil, not the more expensive oil. The next day I decided to give them a test, and brought my 2013 Rubicon in for the same cheaper oil change, just to see if they pulled the same scam. Well after a 1 1/2 the assistant manager told me that they had broke off 2 lug nut posts, and that I had to pay for it!!!!!!!!! But it wouldnt be that much!!!!! Well again the oil change was supposed to be $24.99, I paid $70.70. This is the biggest rip off Ive ever seen. How is this my fault?

Called to set an appt, I was put on hold for about fifteen minutes. I had to call back later to get an appt set. However, when I was there, the guy was very respectful, polite, he explained everything step by step. Although he did not have the smoke machine needed to find a gas leak in my vehicle, he took the time to make sure that I understood the process and what the next step was. He even helped me find another shop in the area, that maybe able to help. I would definitely return to them for service.

Review №73

My partner and I have been taking our two cars to Free Service for years now. Honestly, its easy to be reluctant about car service businesses because some arent known for being the most honest places to deal with; thankfully this has NEVER been the case for me. Free Service has always fixed our cars promptly, without issue, and for what I feel is a fair price. Ive mostly dealt with Garrett for my dealings there and I cannot say enough about how kind, professional, and pleasant that he has been to work with and facilitate things. Highly recommend Free Service for any car need you may have.

Quoted me $445 for front rotors and pads change.....and thats after free pads from previous warranty and purchase from them 2 years ago.I literally went 2 miles down the road and got rotors, pads, and labor for $250.Wow.They wanted $195 more, for technically less. And stated it would take 1.5 hours.The guys at the honest shop had them on in 40 minutes, were $195 cheaper, and got a great laugh out of that quote.#ripoffreport

Review №87

I have been screwed over a handful of times in the past by car dealerships and technicians. First time I went here to get an oil change, they told me I needed rear brakes. I said I’d wait on the brakes and as I left, I heard loud squeaking as I slowed down. I thought the mechanic messed with my brakes so that I’d have to spend more money since the sound started right as I left. The manager, Mike, kindly explained how it was dust build up and put the Jeep back on the lift immediately to have the mechanic rid the dust. I have been back twice and both times, Mike has been good at explaining options and prices.Only issue I have is how much I was charged for Spark Plug replacements. They charged me $203.56 - $20.89 per-plug for 4 plugs and $30x4 for labor. I understand labor costs but the plugs sell new at $4 a plug, not $20. So essentially they’re profiting 400% from the product. The average price for this service in Johnson City is about $115.I still plan on using Free Service in the future. I plan on doing more research before I make my visit, and I prefer to speak with Mike about my vehicle.

Free Service Tire was very helpful in replacing my tire. By the time I got there they had it off the tow truck (my brand new car did not include a spare 🙁) and on the lift. When I gave them the go ahead it only took a few minutes and was much more affordable than I had anticipated. Garrett was especially helpful throughout the process and even helped me get pictures of the damage for my warranty. Thank you all so much.

We have used free tire often over the 6 years weve been here in TN. From the first time my husband returned from an oil change, he knew hed found a treasure here in Johnson City TN! They have never failed to provide excellent service at a good price! Garrett is especially good at keeping us informed of progress and once even reported their mechanic found an inexpensive solution to an expensive problem ❤️. Today I was afraid the knock in the engine meant a new engine on small fixed incomes! But Garrett explained the sound we reported was a minor concern to be addressed after our move to FL and not a hazard to our long drive! I watched them handle each customer with the same courtesy, attention and patience!!💜💚🧡
