Lmr Tires

These guys ripped my mother off. Said she needed this that and the other. She took to my mechanic and he gave her car a clean bill of health. Don’t waste your dollars on these ding dongs.
I’m speaking of the centre hall location.

This review is for the Lmr Tires branch in Centre Hall, which is not listed on Unilocal,but the main location is. We decided to take our vehicle in to a local place for a much needed oil change, and wouldn’t you know our headlight went out earlier that day. Convenient timing I thought! I asked over the phone if they could replace the headlight bulb– gave them the make and model and year– and they said no problem. When we arrived, they performed the oil change, then told me they did not have the correct bulb in stock to fix my headlight. (And we have a Toyota Corolla, a common vehicle) Argh, this is why I called ahead! It took me a couple more days to find the time to get the headlight fixed at Valvoline, all the while I was stressing that we might get pulled over for the headlight out. When the mechanic at Valvoline opened the hood, she exclaimed– «Well the Lmr tires mechanics took your headlight apart but never put it back!» Shocking– loose parts under the hood left to dangle for days. Needless to say we won’t bring our business there ever again.
They also have a «ladies oil change wednesday» special– which I find sexist and demeaning. Just make it a special on Wednesdays for everyone.

If you come in for service you are better off leaving your vehicle and coming back later. I have been here a few times for inspection, tires & oil changes. I had an appointment after work for tires I was there for 3 hours before they touched my car. Inspection one morning and it was an hour after my appointment time before they pulled my car in the service bay. I had some work done one day, dropped off the car asked them to call me when it was finished. I finally reached them on the phone 7 hours later to see if my car was done and the girl I talked to said «I don’t know the mechanic that worked on it is gone.» I later found out my car was done 2 hours after I left.
They do good work but need a much bigger garage and more staff. This place is always busy and the prices are reasonable.

You’re better off calling and you might have to call a few times. Tried to reach them on phone couple days ago no luck. Stopped by. Stood there while three colors on the phone got service.

I took my car to the LMR Tires in Centre Hall not Bellefonte. I took it in for service because my car was shaking and my tires were rubbing terribly every time I made a sharp turn. I was charged $ 318. Guess what? They didn’t fix a damn thing!!! My car continued to vibrate and my tires were still rubbing every time I made a sharp turn.
I sent an email to Chris Lykens (owner of LMR Tires) and expressed my dissatisfaction with the service at his Centre Hall location. He responded promptly to my email, apologized, and offered to rectify the problem by having my car reserviced at FREE OF CHARGE.
I took my car to have my car serviced again based on Chris Lykens promise to service my car for FREE. Chris lied!!! I was charged $ 275.00.
The incompetent idiots managed to fix the shaking of my car, but they still COULD NOT manage to fix the rubbing of the tires. Not only that, but a day after they serviced my car my car started screeching. Two days later, my oil light kept coming on informing me my oil was low. Impossible! I had a complete oil change two months before.
It turns out my oil was low after all.
The morons at LMR are just that MORONS. Now, I have scheduled for my car to be serviced with real mechanics. These mechanics will be able to correct all the damage those bumbling idiots inflicted on my car.
As for Chris Lykens, he’s an EVIL, LYING piece of scum who has an IQ of of a dead log. He’s a thief, crook, and con artist.
Take my advice and take your car ELSEWHERE!!!
I plan to file a complaint with the BBB against Chris Lykens.

As a women I have found it hard to find an honest mechanic in the area. The guys at LMR have never tried to scam me and you can’t beat the 5 point oil change for $ 19.99 on Wednesdays.

Absolute WORST place I have ever dealt with. Took my truck in for 4 new tires. After picking it up and attempting to drive it home, it almost shook apart. Tires were not balanced and the truck was hopping and shaking all over the road. I called them they told me to bring it back. An hour later they said they balanced them but couldn’t take it for a test drive because they were too busy. Another attempt to drive home, still no better. After 2 weeks and 7 trips back and forth to this dump my truck still vibrated something fierce. Adding insult to injury they got grease ALL over my seat which I had to pay to get cleaned. I ended up taking it to the dealership where they got my tires balanced the first try. LMR can’t even balance a set of tires?! Mechanics were rude and ignorant. Oh and the owner was no help at all either he was very rude. STAY AWAY from this place.

I took my van there to have some tires work done. The mechanic broke the hub cap and not only didn’t offer to pay for it or replace it, didn’t even say he was sorry. Even after complaining to the owner, the only thing they did was give me a certificate for a free oil change. It cost me $ 40 for a new hub cap to match what was on the vehicle.

Gas is overpriced. Go to Sheetz, it’s the cheapest in the area. I went there to have my vehicle emissions test there. Long story short, they broke my side marker lights and ended up filing a case against them through the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The owner and employees are dishonest and unprofessional. Avoid this place.
