My air pressure light came on again a couple days after I had filled the tires due to my front right tire being low. After re-checking, I realized the… read more tire must have a leak. I drive into Joe’s Tires straight from summer camp pick up after a very short search for places nearby– shortly after 4pm. I expected to have to make an appointment for the next day or later in the week and also assumed I would need to replace the tire. To my surprise and delight, I was helped right away. They took the car and said it would probably be about an hour. 15 minutes later they called to say it was a simple fix– a screw had punctured the tire and they plugged the hole and patched it up. $35 and 15 minutes?? Amazing. They have my business for our two family cars for life!! Friendly, fast, fair.

Definitely the most wonderful tire experience ever! I know nothing about tires but my mechanic said I needed new front tires and recommended Joe’s…I called and they scheduled an… read more appointment for the next day. In addition to ordering the correct tires, they discovered I had a bent rim and bad tire on the back. They got the rim repaired and did an alignment. OMG…what a difference in driving that made. Every single person I dealt with was just wonderful and I am very grateful to have this place as a resource for the future. I would give it 10 stars!
