Davis Tire and Automotive

Took my car here a few times because it was near my place. The first time they changed a tire, they scratched up my rims. I just accepted the damage as a random mistake.
Took my car back to replace and window motor. Cost 400 bucks. The window motor lasted a whole three weeks. Brought the car back, they tell me it’s not the motor, but something else. I tell him its doing the same thing it was doing the first time I had them fix it. Gave me an attitude, and tell me they won’t fix it for anything less than another 400 bucks. I couldn’t afford it, and i had a window in my car not work for the next couple years.
I finally had the money to fix my car for the second time. The great mechanics at Friendlys let me know it was the motor that was bad and fixed it for 380 bucks.
I go back to davis and they refused to refund my money due to technicality. Davis tire just robbed me of 400 bucks. And kinda cracked a smile while telling me they wouldn’t be giving me my money back.
This is my first Unilocal review. I also caught the front desk kid joy riding my car when I showed up unannounced. I could heat him flying around the corner full ragging

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE. Terrible customer service, every time I’ve gone there and even called ahead they’ve wasted my time and had me run back and forth because they either didn’t know what spec parts needed to be put on my car or what parts/​kinds of brakes they could work on. The icing on the cake was when today one of their shit head mechanics was dishonest about breaking my rear windshield during a tire change and continues to lie about it.
Don’t waste your time and money if you don’t want your car vandalized by an inbred pig-​fucking redneck. Fuck you Davis Tire. I’ll be taking my car to Austin Automotive Specialists and European Auto Works from now on.

Have gone here for years for auto repairs and tires. Never disappointed and never feel taken advantage of. I trust them to do good work.

Love these guys. Always fair and honest.
Took our daughters car in for a loud noise. They told us it was the transmission but that Nissan had extended the warranty, so to take it to the dealership.
The dealership called and told us we need to replace the transmission (free of course) along with a motor mount to the tune of $ 564.00 and an oil cooling gasket $ 236.00.
I told them not to repair the non warranty items and took her car back to Davis Tire for the other repairs. Kenny at Davis Tire just called and said there was nothing wrong with either of the Motor mounts. They could have been as dishonest as the dealership and made $ 500 bucks (that is what they had originally quoted us) on us, but instead were honest and we saved us the money.
I will ALWAYS recommend these guys.:-)

He is great.
We own a used car business and use him at least 2x’s per week.
He’s been a great business man. Communicates, friendly, fair. Glad to have a good tire shop in town!!!

Went in here after I couldn’t get Lawson Automotive to do the work I purchased on a Groupon. Anyway, these guys were great.
Thanks Brent & team. Go there instead if you bought a Groupon with Lawson. You won’t be able to use it. Or maybe you’ll get lucky. I sure didn’t.

These guys are great. I ordered a set of new tires for my car from Tire Rack and had them shipped to Davis Tires. I drove my car there and they took care of it quickly and professionally. The prices are pretty reasonable and the staff is friendly. When my next set of tires are due, I’ll be taking my car to Davis Tires again.

I brought my car in this morning to get some work done. I was the only customer there but nobody was at the front desk. After a few minutes, an attendant walked in and I explained I was looking for a tire balance and asked them to check the alignment (it pulled hard to the right. He said they could get to it right away (I had called first to see what their schedule was like).
Time goes by and many other customers come in with various unscheduled issues that are getting worked on but I’m still waiting there quite a while. Some other people were told it wouldn’t be long either and they had to wait much longer than told as well. It seemed obvious that they were intentionally not given accurate wait times.
About 45 minutes in I was told the alignment was done and it took a while, now I just needed the tires balanced. I waited another 20 minutes but no luck. Frustrated, I asked to go ahead and pay for the alignment as I wasn’t waiting any longer. I paid and got my car back. I can’t tell the difference on the alignment, it still pulls fairly hard to the right. The tires are fairly new in just rotated and the pull to the right didn’t change, so alignment seems like the culprit. But that kind of stuff happens so I can kinda understand. Maybe its something else? But the wait is unacceptable as is the attendants giving obviously wrong wait times to people. I value my time and won’t be coming back here.

I have to say– this is some of the best service EVER! I ordered tires from Tire Rack and had them sent directly to the guys at Davis tire. The same day i was walking out the door at 5:30am to workout– i had a flat and needed a patch. Not only did these guys patch my tire, but later that afternoon my tire rack delivery came in… they changed my tires in 30 minutes! They have wireless and a bench to sit on in the waiting room! i LOVE them.

I have to agree with the other posters. The prices on labor and parts is the best I have found, and they are as friendly, polite, and professional as anyone could ask for.

This is a really nice place. The people are extremely nice. They have odd sized tires for my mower as well as my car. They do inspections while you wait. Their work is fast and their price is reasonable. The shop is clean and they treat you like a human being. I trust these folks. I am definitely a fan. Everyone around here recommends them as the place to get your tires. Oh, and it is in Austin, not Dripping. It is only about 4 miles West of the Oak Hill Y.

I’ve used this shop twice – but I’ve never met them.
That’s because I’m busy in 78 745, and they’re out in Dripping Springs. They fulfilled my request without making me sit around and wait. All it took was a phone call! One tire is an easy job – but four big radials on a motorhome? A dually axle, too! They sent out crew after hours, and didn’t charge me extra. In fact, I priced tires at a place on Airport Drive that would have cost more even if I picked them up myself. Davis got those big boys mounted without a whimper. When I needed a couple more for the front, they gave me a fair deal and finished the job quickly.
