Savannah Tire

Guess what? It isn’t the battery and I have to call the two truck again. Get out of Savannah, savannah tire!!!

Where to begin. This is the first review I’ve left under 4 stars.
Savannah Tire was recommended to me, so I was expecting great service.
I brought my car in because the brakes weren’t feeling as responsive as they should. I explained this in detail to the mechanic, and specifically asked if they would check both my brake pads and my brake fluids.
This would be different if I were a girl that just walked in totally clueless as to how a car worked. I was sure it was one of these two things.
They reported that my brake pads and fluid looked great, but that they had topped off all of my fluids anyway. I assumed this to be true because my windshield fluid was delivering much better than it had. They were sure my brake issues would be solved by 2 ($ 300+) tires. I took their word for it, paid them several hundred dollars over 2 visits for tires and various other things that «needed replacing» — you know the game they play with that. My brakes were not fixed, but I did leave with:
— A size 12 black boot print on my tan interior carpet. That’s permanent.
— A broken hydraulic under my hood (the only thing that holds my hood up)
— An A/​C system that was suddenly spitting out foam everywhere
Three weeks later my brakes are BARELY OPERATIONAL. I take it to a different mechanic, who informs me that while there are absolutely NO leaks in my brake fluid lines, THERE WAS NO BREAK FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER.
AKA the most dangerous car you can put yourself in, that I was making my 1 hour commute in. The mechanic said he was going to take it out to test the brakes, and that he didn’t even leave the parking lot once he got to the end of it because they were so bad.
Buyer beware, do NOT take your car here. You’ll leave with a new set of tires and a few more things to fix.

I never right Unilocal reviews. But this is a special case.
I used to recommend this place whole heartedly as they have done quick and good jobs for me a few times. However it now appears that these guys might be into playing dirty.
I took my car in for a problem with the bearings. They fixed this, even lowered the price for me.
Once I got home I noticed my brake lights werent shutting off (again, this is upon driving from the shop to my house after picking up my repaired car). Somehow, both the rubber stoppers on my brake lever have broken. Upon inspecting them it was clear that they had been cut at with some sort of blade.
The circumstances would appear too great to make this coincidence. It’s hard not to believe that the mechanic did a dirt job on me to get us to come back. Its bad enough they might pull a stunt like this but more insulting that they would think I’m stupid enough to not figure it out. I was almost prepared to roll with it when one of the buttons popped off. But 2 of them within one day? And the cuts being so smooth that I could easily glue the pieces back together? No. If it was from stress the break up of the rubber would have reflected the forward/​backward motion of the pedal, but the cuts were straight through the middle from the sides.
I wouldnt give these people your money. Go somewhere else.
Shame I wont be supporting this local business anymore and its a shameful way to represent Savannah’s business community.

OVERPRICED. I don’t know if they assumed I was an ignorant rich SCAD student or if they’re always this bad but they tried to charge me an arm and a leg for things that didn’t even need to be replaced! Not to mention they charge 100 dollars just to LOOK at your car… outrageous! They tried to feed me some BS when I asked why parts that were 10 dollars online would cost 160 dollars to replace (not including the labor to replace them). I saved 200 dollars AND got my car fixed the same day when I took it to a different repair shop.

I have used Savannah Tire for tires, oil changes & most recently, a new battery. Their staff is friendly, attentive and has a good sense of urgency. I highly recommend them.
