Tireman Auto Centers

From my understanding, most of their work specializes in light mechanical (i.e. oil changes, changing spark plugs/​belts) and work on tires (i.e. rotating, patching holes, balancing). I’ve had my car in there 2 times for an oil change and once for a belt replacement on my Hyundai since I’ve lived in the area (not long).
The very first time I went for an oil change/​tire rotation, they said that the lug nut on a tire would not come off… that they needed to remove the bolt however they could and replace it for $ 29. So immediately I felt trapped. They didn’t offer for me to see it for myself or anything, but the price on «their» lugnuts was around $ 69 (?!). So they said they could help me on the price of that. Whatever. Do what you have to do, I guess.
Second time, I came in for an oil change right after something starting whining around my alternator/​belts. I requested that if they see an issue while under my car, please let me know. No one said anything about the whine other than I needed new belts (which was true). So I arranged a belt replacement service and requested again to find out more about the whine, twice. Nothing was said to me about the whine when I went in to pay and no notes were left by any mechanic there for the front desk.
It’s situations like this that make me wonder if I’m just being given a run around or not. They do keep the car running as it’s supposed to, but not without sharing caveats of things to come down the road with the car.
My biggest issue so far is how they break the news to you in the middle of the waiting area where other people have to share in the moment where you get hit with the bad news about your car and how much stuff costs. I think that’s just bad taste. A doctor knows not to walk into the waiting room and deliver horrible news to you in front of others; why can’t you have a system that gets people to come up to the front desk and go over the options there?
It’s easy-​to-​get-​to service and a professional team that work in this location, but changes in practices and giving customers options/​info is the name of the mechanic’s game (at least it should be). If you need something light done on your car, I’d go here.

I’m posting this review as a helpful review for you to know my experience.
I dropped off my Saturn Vue at tireman in February of 2011, to have them repair a job on my vehicle which included replacing the upper valve gasket. I dropped it off Monday and I didn’t get it back till Saturday. I was to polite by telling them to take their time, because I wanted the job done right and not fast and sloppy. So of course they took advantage of my hospitality.
When I picked it up, I honestly was well pleased. As a few months went by I noticed it dripping oil again!!! So I took it in and they seen where they ‘so called master mechanic’ slipped the gasket in. Which. To me made me think he slapped it together quickly and not correctly. So they replaced it and also put rtv sealant on it.
Well another few months go by again and it started to leak again!!! So being fed up, I emailed corporate and told him.
He called me 2 days later and asked me if I would drop it off in Perrysburg, so I agreed and they also gave me a rental free of charge. So Perrysburg replaced everything and did it correctly. Perrysburg said that they tried to reuse the same gasket and your not supposed to do that. Once you use a gasket that’s it, it’s not reusable.
Of course they tried to deny it and say they did everything by the book. The book my eye!
If you love you vehicle like me. Never ever bring your vehicle here.
