Default Tire Kingdom for Service

Is Tire Kingdom in Oxford a good place for auto service?
I thought I read here at one time people were happy with their service.

I did a search here with no luck.

Cheers!

Never used them, but the company has an "F" rating with the BBB and 447 complaints within the past 12 months. Note that these complaints could be spread over all the stores in the chain. As usual, their website shows 282 customer reviews, almost all of which are 5 stars. Apparently, buying fake reviews is very easy.

Tire Kingdom on 466A repeatedly tried to oversell me on services, even when I requested upfront that they not do that.
Maybe the one in Oxford is better, but.... I don't know. I won't visit a TK again.

We only have experience with TK in South FL. They couldn't even do a simple tire rotation and balancing without screwing it up (trying to cheat). Have never set foot in a Tire Kingdom location here.

Walmart next block over, their auto service department always busy. I had tires replaced there with no problems.

Never. Ever. NeverEver use a franchise automobile shop where there are 1000 useless eaters at Corporate HQ to feed. Just use Wildwood Tire or Walmart is generally OK.

What I need is my fluids changed, transfer case fluid and differential fluids.
Any experience you have had with that kind of service?

Wildwood Tire, Firestone, or Michael's Automotive. But, any good mechanic can do it. Personally, I never change any fluids, except motor oil.

I drive a hybrid so for fluid change transmission, coolant both engine and inverter coolant Toyota is about same price and has correct fluids, engine oil and filter change along with tire rotation Walmart is fine. If you are a Veteran Take 5 oil change provides a discount location are 441 Summerfield and Rt27 Leesburg.

After my experience with couple dealers I just change my own oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant and even the window washer water. Just cause you go to recommended business don’t mean they do it right, you must follow up. They have to earn my trust.

I took my car to a dealer down here when under warranty and they couldn’t even change oil correctly. After that feasco I just change it myself.

Sounds like he has all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. More to fail than simple front wheel drive car.

We have been having good luck with Mavis. Very professional and clean bays. They are located West of Culver's on 466-A.
