Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers

Chris and Brian were super nice and helpful! Would definitely recommend and well be back for more work on our cars!

My first time doing business with this location at 7447 Manchester Rd. Past by them forever. It was a good visit. Bought two tires and toe alignment, transacted with no drama. Chris came across as friendly, helpful and honest. I’ll be back!

I’ve dealt with Dobbs all over st Louis. This store by far has the worst store manager! I will never go back! I had brakes down six months ago. One of the calipers locked up and was told over the phone it was under warranty. I dropped the vehicle off, shortly after clay the manager called me. Clay thought he was doing me a favor by telling me he could do the job for $ 600. I have three vehicles that have been worked on for the Kay couple of years w minimal issues. This guy clay is a crook and cannot be trusted.

I took my car in a couple weeks ago for an oil change, rotation, & new wipers! I got a really good deal, staff was very friendly, and as a woman I didn’t feel like I was being taken advantage of. The service I received was great! My only pet peeve, was that I guess they had to get my wipers delivered from another location so it took a good 2 hours or more, where I anticipated about 1 hour (and I had to go up and ask what the hold up was). They were very friendly though and said in the future to call in advance because I guess my car has special wipers. Would recommend them for a good price and friendly service.

Lets face it, no one likes to go to get tires or have their car worked on. If you do, then you probably already work at at Dobbs. That being said the wait at this location has been consistently less than at others, which is always nice. I don’t feel like I get the run around from the staff on getting unnecessary services. Though, I’m never sure why every auto service place EVER hands you the dirty/​broken part they found, like a cat bringing you a dead bird. What am I supposed to do with a rusty nail/​old air filter? Honestly. But I digress… if there is a Dobbs to choose, I’ll go to this one.

My car was taken to Donbs yesturday told it would be $ 114.00 to diagnose the problem. Fine. They came back told me my car blew a spark plug out. This would be more but with a military discount it would still come to a substantial ammount. I had no choice, I need my vehicle working. They fixed it within 4.5 hours for a very detailed repair. I got my car drove ½ a block and it was not running right. Not only did it not want to start now the whole engine was making a noise. I took it back the guy looked dead in my face and said it would be $ 114.00 for diagnostic checking. NO WAY I JUST PICKED IT UP AND DROVE ½ block less than 20 mins had passed. He thought I would just say ok. Well NO! Obviously you DIDNT FIX THE VEHICLE! I already spent a lot if money!!! So once again my vehicle sits for diagnostic checks and to be fixed. I’m disgusted tjst this wasn’t fixed properly the First time, I will report the outcome!

I just had an experience similar to the one reported by Liz on 2÷8÷2012. I took my car here for an oil change last April (I know, I know!). At the time they told me that my battery was getting low and that it would soon need attention. Knowing that tire/​oil change places always do this, I figured it might be a little weak, but chose to ignore it.
Last week I took my car to my regular repair shop and as part of what I was doing there, asked them to check the battery. They did and reported to me that it was at 100% power.
The next day I went by the Dobbs, not about this at all, but simply to get a copy of the bill for the work I’d done there for my records. After the guy printed it out, he said to me, «I see that your battery was weak last April. At that point, I told him I found that interesting since my regular guy just yesterday said it was fine.» He just stared at me.
Bottom line: These people are dishonest and will lie to you so that you’ll spend money there on unneeded services and products. I don’t deal with thieves and will never go there or any other Dobbs store again.

I usually take my car to the dealership to get anything taken care of, however I popped a tire Friday night and had a busy Saturday stacked up and ended up needing to hit up Dobbs because they were open early at 7am and I didn’t need an appointment with them, which my dealership now requires.
So, begrudgingly I took my beloved vehicle to Dobbs and dropped her off for a new tire. I knew it was going to take some time to get done because they were having to get the tire from another location. About 2.5 hours later I got a call telling me that I was way past due for an oil change and that my transmission fluid was so dirty that I shouldn’t be driving around with it the way it is. Wow, that’s odd because I’m not due for an oil change for another 2+ months and just had the transmission fluid taken care of not that long ago. I told the man who called me that it’s odd because neither is true, he suddenly got quiet and told me the car would be ready soon. Sorry, buster… you’re not getting one over on this girl!
I understand they lie to make sales on things which I’m sure they’re pressured to do by management, but these tactics are the exact reason why I hate chain tire/​vehicle places. Beware when you come here and don’t let them dupe you into anything.
They did do a good job on my tire, though.

This is a great mechanic to go to. I was driving a 20+ yr old Chevrolet and it needed a lot of repairs. This Dobbs location has always done a fantastic job. Things were always fixed within the same day, sometimes within hours. Oil changes never took too long either, although it’s no 10min stop. The prices are reasonable and most of their repairs come with a lifetime warranty. They also have a «shuttle» service if you need a ride home.
The best part about this place is the customer service. Everybody is genuine and friendly. I am a young woman and I never felt like I was being talked down to or taken advantage of. Things were always explained in a way I could understand.
I recommend this location 100%.
one more thing… I got an oil change at a nearby competitor– it was more expensive and worse customer service than this Dobbs. I also took my car in for a repair at a different nearby competitor– it was way overpriced and they gave me a faulty part that needed to be replace one week later. If you live in the general vicinity of this Dobbs, go here!!!
