Great customer service, during the initial visit the new hire had a difficult time getting the filter off, but it is understandable as it's tough to get to. They made it right the next day and treated me great. I would recommend their service and will return for tires and services in the future.

What a lifesaver! I had a noise under my truck and BBTS ran a full under carriage inspection. Came up with several possibilities. None that will deter my long scheduled traveling. Erika and team thanks for the peace of mind.
