I had a set of tires changed out and an oil change and the service was quick and easy. Jeff was particularly good to work with.

Very personable staff. Speedy service. Honest and dependable. Will definitely be going back to Big Brand Tires instead of the corporate Les Schwab or Big O tires.

They were so fast and professional in regards to my car. I had to use an extended warranty for an AC repair and not only do they get it fixed in a timely manner, but they handled everything with the extended warranty so I didn’t have to. They also used quality parts from the maker of my car rather than aftermarket parts. They were a pleasure to work with! Definitely recommend them!

They were able to see us really quick and gave us answers fast! I’m grateful to them for calling around and trying to find the part! Excellent customer service!

They were able to get us in quickly, our appointment was on time, service was quick, and less than the estimate. Our technician was great at explaining what was wrong, what we needed what we were going to need in the future, and printed out a copy of our Carfax.

Had a radiator leak. These folks ordered genuine KIA parts, fixed that problem as well as replaced my battery, did service maintenance, and rotate my tires & balance. They stayed in touch with me and showed me what needed to be done. All are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
