Honest guys. They could’ve taken me to the bank but didn’t. Any other place would’ve taken advantage of the situation, but not them! I will definitely recommend them and use them as a place when needed.

They are thorough. Been there 2X. They have found legitimate problems both times. They could have just done what I ask but it would have been money thrown away. A good mechanic may seem expensive but they can actually be priceless.

My tire needed to be repaired after fIm was told it had a large nail embeded in one of my tires. Rays repaired my tire at a very affordable price for my small budget and that was a year ago. Now I need all new tires and I hope to purchase them at Rays.

One of our work vans was in need of a quick tire repair. The people at Ray's tire were very helpful and fixed the problem within an hour. I would highly recommend them to others!

Called in for a tire repair and they got me in immediately. They pulled my loose tire out of the back of the truck. Fix it and put it right back in the truck for me. All around great service.

I have been looking for a place to call home for my auto service. Have been consistently disappointed everywhere I go. Had an exceptional experience here today. Bill went way above and beyond! My expectations were exceeded and I will bring all my auto care needs to Ray's going forward! My loyalty has been earned!

I told the clerk I changed my mind and only wanted to have my engine air filter change instead of having only my two front tires replaced. Mechanic said the filter didn't need replacing. I was quoted $25 for engine air filter replacement. The clerk said that will be 7.29 which I thought was prorated due to the fact my filter didn't need replacing. It wasn't until I checked my bank account and found that Ray's Tires charged me $729 for four brand new tires I clearly didn't request. I will never enter this place again nor recommend anyone to be ripped off. Customers Please Beware!

Brought my sons Saturn into Ray's for a new exhaust system. The guys were completely HONEST and earned my trust & loyalty right then & there!! Instead of taking the sure sale on the new exhaust, they instead brought me into the shop to show me the Saturn up on the hoist. They proceeded to explain exactly why I should not "stick even another 25 cents of gasoline into" the car. Being female, I find myself leary to trust auto repair shops. I absolutely would recommend Ray's shop. The guys were great: helpful, polite, informative, and Honest!! Definitely will be bringing my vehicles to Rays for service in the future.!

I have been a long time customer of Ray's tire and have thought highly of their services, until recently. I took my 2006 Jeep Liberty to Ray's Tire, on May 18 2023 because I had an issue with the ABS system, it was giving an error code pointing to the left rear speed sensor. The technician at Ray's supposedly went through my entire electrical system and diagnosed the issue to being a bad ABS module. I had a conversation with Bill, the store manager, and he recommended to me to send my ABS module in for repair to fix my issue, since Ray's does not have the capabilities to fix it. Under Bill's recommendations, I sent the module in for repair, it cost me $400, and was told my abs module bench tested fine. No issues! In the same conversation with Bill, as noted earlier, he suggested I take my car to Van Linn's, as they can resolve my ABS issue, too. Van Linn's can repair and program them. I took it to Van Lynn's for repair, under Bill's recommendation, and they diagnossed it as being a faulty speed sensor , which is a $35 dollar part, which should have been diagnosed properly by Ray's Tire expert tech! Van Lynn's replaced the faulty speed sensor and it fixed my issue with the ABS system and the issue was NOT the module as diagnosed per Ray's. As a result, i am out $700 for a $35 part. $400 for the abs module to bench tested, $60 at Ray's Tire, and another $275 at Van Linn's. Today, August 1st, 2023 I went to Ray's tire because i need new tires on my Jeep. I explained how Van Linn's fixed my Jeep with a $35 speed sensor. I also told him i was out $400 for my abs module repair when it was bench tested fine and the money was non_refundable. I asked Bill about tire prices and asked if he could give me a discount for the miss diagnose his tech did on my Jeep. It was a stern NO! Bill also found humour in how I was $700 lighter in my wallet because of the miss diagnose of my abs module from his less than qualified technician. He just stared at me with a evil smirk on his face. So, lesson learned, if you want good quality vehicle service from good qualified technicians, Do Not GO TO RAY'S TIRE. He will cost you extra money and laugh at you to your face! Not a very nice thing to do to a person or to a long time customer as I WAS. I definately suggest taking your vehicle work some place else.

I have been doing business here for over a decade and I am always impressed with the level of service they give. They do business the old fashioned way, you can tell they truly value customer satisfaction. Fair priced, super accommodating, and always going the extra mile to be sure their customers are happy. This is the only place I will buy my tires from.

I highly recommend Ray's Tires, they offer fair pricing and are good at what they do. My exhaust had rusted out and was dragging, I had asked if they could weld it back together instead of replacing the whole thing and did not charge very much for the service. Would go again.

Outstanding customer service!! Being hesitant to trust any auto shop, two different people told me they bring their vehicles here and have been happy, so I thought I would give them a try. My vehicle has been in a few times over the last year and they have been nothing but HONEST and HELPFUL - from not charging me for a particular auto part because they misdiagnosed the problem and said it was their mistake, to working with me to find a new set of good tires within my budget. I would recommend Ray's Tire to anyone. Love these guys!

Wal-Mart, Fleet, and a couple small shops wouldn't help me, but Ray's Tire did. No issues with my old 9" Honda Big Red split rims. Just what I needed. Will be a return customer.

I went in because of a slow leak in the left front tire. Dayne came out to take a look and I could see he had obvious concerns. I asked if he would let his wife & kids ride on those tires? I got the answer I expected. Fortunately I have a set of winter snow tires & rims so I packed them in the car and went back. They mounted the the snow tires, took the old tires off the alloy wheels and recycled my old tires for $100 bucks. I drive a lot of miles and go through lots of tires. I would never consider buying tires from anyone other than Dayne.
