Dishonest, Just another shyster shop that wont hold themselves accountable.
Dishonest, Lack of mechanical skill and problem solving that would be expected of even a shade tree shop.
Our family has a very long history in the automotive industry, but at times, we too want to take our vehicles in and expect professionalism in the field when it comes to our personal vehicles.
This being said, we're proud of our vehicles, and maintain them to an almost perfect state, we know ever scratch, ding, and dent, and generally don't stop fretting over it until it's fixed.
My father purchased a new to him 1995 K2500 Suburban in a near Mint state, Have photos of all four sides, up to and including the night prior to the truck being dropped off. Now. The passenger side of the vehicle had NO DAMAGE, as a matter of fact, the only damage to the vehicle was a small touched up dent the size of a pea on the hood, and a small imperfection near the filler door.
First issue is that the truck sat without the work being done for an extended period of time. You're doing brakes, cap and rotor, and exhaust manifold gaskets...really? And your mechanics couldn't get a brake drum off of what is known across the industry to be one of the Simplest vehicles to work on? It's called muscle and a five pound sledge.
Second problem is how the work was being performed when the truck entered the shop, How is it sensible to do cap, rotor and plugs BEFORE you pull the exhaust manifolds to do gaskets...you've effectively doubled your work and dwell time working on the vehicle, Straight stupidity.
Finally, When my father comes in with a pretty renowned local mechanic, Greg then approaches my father with a statement to the effect of "We take pictures of vehicles before they come into the shop, especially like this one," when it wasn't even asked, suspicious? Yeah, you're trying to cover your rear because you know someone screwed up, and made it a bigger deal than it needed to be. No one asked you, and you decided to shove your foot in your mouth and give yourself away to a Retired police officer, Detective, and Narcotics Interdiction Officer of over 20 years in the counties surrounding griffin, and a pretty damned good one at that.
Not only this, my father called you, Greg, and you constantly made condescending smart aleck remarks instead of taking the matter seriously, I know, I was on the phone when he called, and guess what, Mine record.
So, you screwed up, then lied, became dismissive and condescending and are now refusing to make it right, I'd hate to see what you do to other customers that can't or do not have the knowledge to stand up for themselves. You make the profession seem more of a joke than it already is thanks to worthless 'mechanics' like yourselves. Grow a pair, Own up, and take care of business as it should have been in the first place.

Horrible place with Lying owner
First and foremost, Greg the owner is a liar! I dropped my 95 Suburban off on April First at 4pm as told by GREG. Greg had quoted me a price of $1500 to do all the work I asked to be done earlier that week, with it supposed to be done by Saturday evening. GREG said he would have someone on it FIRST thing Friday morning “Not to Worry” they would get it done. I had a Friday appointment in Griffin and when I drove by after my appointment at 11am, I was shocked to see my vehicle sitting outside in the exact same spot I had parked it Thursday evening. I called and was told that they were really backed up and would be pulling it inside directly. After a few more phone calls, I was told they were worried that the bolts might break on the exhaust manifolds and it would be better if I got new manifolds if they had to end up cutting the bolts to remove the old manifolds. I was told that they had already tried loosening a few bolts and there were some that were not going to budge. I went to Summit racing and bought both needed manifolds and dropped them off, I was told by the mechanic that he was having issues removing the rear drums as well, but he would get it off. Spring forward to Saturday morning and I called to see the progress. I was told that they were having a hard time getting the drum to release, but everything else was not going to be an issue. I and a friend drove up to the shop and asked to see if we could see about the drum. We went back to my vehicle and noticed that no one was working on it. I asked the other mechanics if anyone was supposed to be working on the vehicle and they said no. It took a grand total of three minutes for us to remove the drum from the vehicle. GREG the owner had arrived and said that we just got the “lucky hit in on the drum”. I told GREG I was pretty upset that there was no one working on the vehicle as he had promised. I told GREG that I also noticed that his mechanic had installed the plugs, wires cap and rotor, but in doing so had also broken one of the hard vacuum lines going to the vacuum cannister. The coil was also unbolted and laying on the intake along with the throttle cable. GREG said that he had two mechanics call in today and that’s why no one was on the vehicle. I told Greg that I was told that someone was working on it earlier when I called to check the progress. GREG said that if I wanted to leave it with him that he might be able to have it done by next Thursday, but that he promised it would be right. I told GREG that due to the less than truthful conversations and the fact that his mechanic broke the line and evidently couldn’t take a drum off, I just didn’t have faith in his shop to do things right. GREG said that he would fix anything that they had broken, and it would be right. GREG then said something that was weird to both I and my buddy. GREG said that they take care of customers cars and that when a car like this comes in he personally videos the vehicle to document any damage or scratches on the vehicle. GREG said I can show you where every scratch is on this vehicle. I told GREG I knew where there were scratches and touchups. I told GREG that wouldn’t work for me and I was pissed that the mechanic had broken the Vacuum line and that made me question what else he may have messed up. I told GREG at this point I felt like it would be better if I and my buddy put all of the vehicle back together and just take my vehicle with me. GREG agreed and I and my buddy put everything back together and I went to GREG and said I would pay for the work that the mechanic had done and GREG said no, you don’t own anything. By Saturday night both of the IMPOSSIBLE manifolds were replaced. We also had to install another set of new plugs due to an intermittent miss which was caused by the mechanic installing a plug that the electrode was not gapped correctly. During this time there were two new scratches that was found by my wife that had not been there when the vehicle was dropped off. I called GREG on Monday April 5th and told him about the damage. GREG said what if I have pictures of the scratches, that would prove that it was already damaged right? I told GREG no that would only prove that pictures were taken of the scratches and that these two areas were not scratched when the vehicle was left at his shop. GREG said to bring the truck by so he could see it and we would see what we could do. After completing all of the work on the vehicle I went to Express tire today April 12, 2021 and had GREG step outside. I showed GREG the scratches to which he said oh those were already there. I told GREG no they were not there when I dropped the vehicle off. GREG said he personally saw both of those scratches before it came ibn the shop. I told GREG that they were not there when I parked the vehicle outside his shop and that he left the vehicle outside overnight. GREG refused to take responsibility saying it was already there, to which I called him a liar (to his face) and that I was done with him and his shyster shop.

Great Service , Great prices, Stands Behind There Work
I bring all my vehicles & my families vehicles to these people . The latest was a 2018 XLT Ford F150 . I asked Greg to make the truck look good , ride good and I trusted him to make the decision on what to put on, he put on some outstanding looking Black rims, with some smooth riding tires with a little lift which made the truck look awesome all at at a great price. The guys do a great job with no grease on the seats. If you are looking for for good people go here first for your vehicle needs. This thing rides better than the 2021 FX XLT I drove last week. Thanks guys !!!!

They ruined my transmission
Brought my truck in for a oil and asked them if they'd check the transmission fluid and they obliged. After two hours (which I felt was a little too long) they informed me that they accidentally broke the dipstick tube for the transmission in which they would would fix free of charge. Once that was taking care of I went to leave and half way home the truck quit pulling. I called the shop and they informed me to bring the truck back. I managed to get the truck back to the shop where it sat for two days and was finally called for the shop owner to let me know that they had put the wrong transmission fluid and they had no intention of fixing it!! I ended up getting someone to tow the truck in which one of the employees had tried to start an argument with the truck driver on how to load the truck. I will never bring anything here again and wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy
Very quick and courteous service and cost was reasonable. Service tech did great job and I got my truck back real quick, thanks to Greg and Dave for job well done.
Xpress Tire staff is always very friendly and knowledgeable. They have serviced my vehicles for many years. If there was ever an issue they always did all they could to make it right.
This place cares about their customer, it is the key to their success and repeat business. It is always a pleasure to interact with every member of the entire staff. My family members, friends and business associates have been patronizing this business for years. Keep up the great work!
From oil changes, new tires to full car services they always do a great job and I feel that I’m paying a fair price. As a woman I alway feel that car shops over charge and Fred at Xpress tires is true and honest.
Willing to do what it takes to fix your vehicle right
These guys have been working on my vehicles for several years now and will do everything possible to take care of me. I rely on them for all my maintenance.
