Reviews of Kearney Tire & Auto Service (Tires)

Alexa Wiens

First off, being not from the Kearney area my decision was based solely on former Google reviews and Kearney Tire and Auto Service exceeded my expectations. The crew was beyond friendly, professional but most importantly as a female they treated me with the upmost respect. If I need any work done on my vehicle while here in Kearney without a doubt I am going to be a returning customer. I would highly recommend Kearney Tire and Auto to absolutely everyone!

John Wafler

I have known the owners Don and Ronda for several years and have been to their shop several times. I was impressed by their clean facility and professional level of customer service and integrity. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for the best service and professional car and truck repairs.

Thank you for fitting us in when we had a valve issue with our 5th wheel camper while traveling! Nice people and great service!

Jimmie Fulks

Best customer service. They always get our vehicles in and out in a timely manner. Have always done fantastic work and stand by their work.

crim goob

Professional and trustworthy.

Aaron Thies

Your guys were very courteous and good humored when the came out on a service call to fix my flat tire. You were always in communication to let me know what was going on. I will definitely call you guys with any tire issues from here on out.

LONNIE GIFFIN

I like walking by it

J Roberts

Knowledgeable staff who are friendly and will not rip you off. They will tell you what needs to be done ASAP and what might become an issue. They don't try to sell you services you don't actually need. Honest and fair.

Blair Johnson

Was driving cross country when our vehicle developed a noticeable vibration in Nebraska. The folks in Kearney squeezed us in and discovered a few major problems, some of which needed urgent attention (aka new tires and alignment due to other mechanic mounting the tires inside out) and a few that need future fixing. They got us back on the road within a few hours and were extremely helpful and patient as we talked through different options. Lucky place to get briefly stranded! And we made it all the way out west with no other incidents, so their work has held up, knock on wood!

Sandy Meade

Amazing customer service

Barbara Morris

Needed assistance

Hunter Miller

Had our air conditioner repaired there less than 2 years ago, it went bad again, the previous receipt said there was warranty for 2 year/24000 miles, we were under the warranty and the part had a lifetime warranty but they wouldn't honor their own warranty and still charged us full labor. Very bad customer service, they were rude and mean.

Trina Miller

Very bad customer service, the staff was rude and just mean to us. They also would not honor their own 2yr/24000 mile warranty that is printed right on their receipt. DO NOT TAKE your vehicles to this place, they are crooks!!

Molly Zimmerman

Got a flat tire on a road trip to Colorado. Once it was determined the tire was not repairable, the only option presented to me was to replace all 4 tires on a 4 wheel drive vehicle (Subaru Outback) that only had 25k miles on it for over $700. While that IS the safest option, and recommended, it wasn't until a good guy friend of mine called around and found the shop down the street could replace the one tire with a compatible used tire. As a pregnant solo woman on the road with a 3 year old I felt like they were trying to take advantage of my situation. My husband was backpacking in the mountains and I could not make such a large financial decision without talking to him first (which wasn't possible). I did end up leaving with 1 used tire for $37 dollars, but the whole situation left me feeling discriminated against. Tire still works great though. Won't be back...

Molly Maloy

Incredible people. I have an old car, it's broke down twice this year, and I could never go anywhere other than Kearney tire and auto. The people are so kind and polite, and were willing to spend their time calling my dad in Omaha as well as me to make sure we were aware of every step of the process. They are very respectful and kind, with low rates. Very honest and gave me a coupon for a free car wash. I was recommended this place by two good samaritans when my car broke down the first time, and I would do the same for someone else.

Brian Baer

Great people who I can trust. I'm not a mechanic, but I know when I have a question or a problem with one of my vehicles, Kearney Tire and Auto is the first place I go. They will take the time to explain maintenance and repairs in a way that I can understand. Not feeling intimidated and free to ask questions is important. They also take the time to get to know their customers and build lifetime relationships. I wish more businesses did business the way Kearney Tire and Auto does.

Sarah Baker

My family was driving back to Omaha from Colorado Springs when our van got a flat tire after 5pm on Saturday night of the Thanksgiving weekend. Kearney was the closest town from our flat tire breakdown. We got the spare tire on and called Don at Kearney Tire. We were over an hour and a half away, but he said to call when we got closer and he'd meet us at the shop. Don was professional, courteous, and completely helpful! He fired up the tools and fixed up our van with 2 new tires. Thank you for the fine service!! Highly recommend KT!

RetiredTeacher David

Be warned. These guys will get your vehicle in top condition. They will not do it the most economical way possible. I took our 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan in to get an alignment and was refused. They claimed both tie rod ends were bad. I had them checked earlier and again afterwards and there was no play in the tie rod ends. They claimed the antifreeze fluid was bad. I had just replaced it. They claim the oil is needing changed. I had it current. The tag in the window was valid. They claimed the transmission was dying. I admit it is time for a flush but I do not believe anything they implied was as bad as they made it sound. At first they said it was a hazard to drive, one of the mechanics whispered to the front desk guy and he backed down and just said they were maintenance issues. I have it from another mechanic in the area that these guy do they type of thing all the time.

Kent Harvin

Very good ..service ....fair prices

Michael Andrews

They may cost you more than the quick lube places, but I trust these guys, and frankly, $10 is worth knowing they aren't going to try and rip you off with "repairs" that you don't really need.

James Markus

Fast service

James Garman

Kearney Tire & Auto may not be the 'Cheapest' in town primarily because they are far from 'Cheap.' If you want best in class - value added service and an unmatched customer service experience this is your place. Kearney Tire & Auto has the best service follow up I have ever experienced as a customer of ANY business of ANY kind. Because I am treated great, always satisfied, and more importantly because they value their customers with true class; I trust Kearney Tire & Auto and I recommend them to anyone, anytime.

Loraine Troyer

We had travel issue with a loose engine cover. It was dragging on the road. They fixed the problem on a Saturday morning. No charge.

Lacie Gillaspy

Excellent service diagnosed the issue promptly and didn't try to get me to spend lots of money they helped me find a way to save on the repair

John Marrufo

Great service. Thank you so much!

Ike Mason

Their motto "WE KEEP YOUR DAY MOVING" is totally true! They got our company pick up truck back up and going in great time! Thanks so much for the great service!!! Mason RV

Mark Cecil

I have know Marv, Carol, and Don for almost five years now. As a fellow shop owner from another area I know them as honest, professional, and committed to customer service. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of automotive service or tires. Mark Cecil Lone Star Automotive Midland Texas

jessie Monky

well i would say to anyone going here to get a second opinion. dont spend tons of money for no reason. i got 4 tires and they said it needed an aliment they told me $300 for the aliment! i was shocked. i took my car to the dealer witch charged me $75 of a four wheel aliment. hmmm odd right? ... then i was told i can come in with no appointment to get the tires rotated and it would get done right away i found this to be false. i here from many people that they try and charge to do stuff that dose not need to be done! be careful with any of these type for quick lube places they will screw you over shop around. if i could put negative stars i would

Justin Halbgewachs

My wife and I recently came in to have our van serviced and to purchase new tires. I wanted to let the KTA staff know how pleased we were. Your intentionality and friendliness was wonderful. We felt the pricing was fair and communicated clearly through the process. Your receptionist was a joy to talk to as well. Thanks for delivering awesome no pressure service. You guys are pros!!

Extremely helpful and pleasant people to work with after blowing a tire on I80! Thank you!

Donald Hentges

Needed tires got me in next day and they were cheaper than the quoted me originally but ya just in time to use new rubber and it shows so tires held road good in sleet and slush thank you Kearney tire

Patrick Martin

First went to Kearney tire and auto in the summer of 2015 to have four new tires put on and see if they could find and fix an issue with uneven wear. They put four new tires on and said they could not find any issues causing the wear. Within a few months I started noticing the car start to vibrate again due to the same issue. I made it about 10 months on that set of tires, and went back in again for four more new tires and have them try to find and fix the issue. This time they told me they found the issue and fixed it. With a bill of over a grand I was just glad the issue was supposedly corrected. Here I am now a year later with another set of ruined tires because the issue was not fixed. I just know I am done with Kearney Tire and Auto. I gave them a second chance, but they will not get a third chance to rip me off. And like I said Don, if they couldn't find the issue the first two times in there what would make me think they could this time?

Bill Chrisman

Bathroom an area spot less clean

Tyler Pavlik

Took my truck in for tires found out I had a radiator leak which they fixed 3 weeks later I’m still over heating had a fan clutch go out and a water pump which you think they would know after putting in my radiator. Never told me spent 1200$ for new tires and radiator then they tried to charge me an additional 900 to fix everything else. So I went to big wrench auto repair and they are doing it for under 400$. These people rip you off just really watch who you go to. I will forever go to big wrench auto repair I also advise you to and not give these thieves any money

Jordan Harms

This is by far the best tire & auto service I have ever dealt with. I'm about a 2 hour drive away, but will still take all of my vehicles to them to have tires installed or work done. They are very very helpful, and have great attention to detail, which is getting harder to come by these days. They mounted tires on my wifes BMW and did an alignment, and I honestly think they did a much better job than the dealership. They explained exactly what they would be doing, and even provided shuttle service to Cabelas so that I could kill some time while they were performing service. I am extremely particular about who I let touch my vehicles, and I wouldn't think twice about having them work on any of mine. Would rate them 10 stars if I could.

E.J. Villano

We had a bit of an issue at another mechanic in Colorado and unfortunately when we were staying in Kearney we needed to have the AC fixed. We looked up reviews and found Kearney Tire and Auto Service and gave them a call. They were able to sneak us into their busy schedule, got the problem solved and got us back on the road. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff to boot. Thanks guys!

Michael Jaeschke

Have bought 4 sets of tires and many service jobs have always been taken care of with great service.

Jeremy Epp

Have been going to Kearney Tire and Auto for 10 + years and we have never been disappointed with the staff, service or technicians at KTA! The owners are awesome! Top Notch people who do what's right for the customer!

David Taber

Yesterday our daughter and her friend were driving from Chicago on their way to college in Boulder, Colorado when the "Check Engine" light came on.They spent the night in Kearney, Nebraska.This was a traumatic experience for my wife and I .We were afraid her car might break down in the middle of nowhere.The next morning I looked up auto repair shops in the Kearney,Nebraska area and after reading good reviews I called Kearney Tire and Auto Service. Tracy said they had a full schedule but after explaining the situation she said she would scan the engine codes as soon as they got there. I spoke to Tom and he reset the Check Engine light and told me the car would be safe to drive to Boulder.He also faxed me a computer code scan.The same day the girls got to Boulder without the engine light turning on.The problem was that the oil was a little too thin.I sent her an oil additive to correct the problem. They were actually waiting for our daughter to get there and would not accept any money for all their trouble going out of their way to help her out on a busy day. We were really lucky to find such a nice place. David Taber

Karen L

Exceptional service!! Traveling through town we needed service for a flat tire. They were quick and professional. We travel this route frequently and would plan a stop here intp our trip if we were looking for tires etc. Great people!!!

Michelle Jaeschke

Everyone was very nice and helpful. They were knowledgeable, and patiently answered all of my questions. In my experience as a customer of Kearney Tire and Auto Service, I became their customer when I used their pre-purchase inspection service to help me determine whether or not to buy a used car. They gave the car a full inspection and pointed out all possible future problems including a possible need for new tires and an oil change. When I decided to purchase tires, I again turned to them since I now trusted KTA to give me professional and informative advice on my vehicle. Don, the service advisor i personally worked with, gave me a couple of choices on tires and patiently explained the differences, pros and cons of all the choices then let me make my own decision. It was a very low pressure sales experience. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for automotive service or new tires and i will be using their services again in the future.

Richard Meyer

Employees work hard to get the job done right. They treat customers with respect.

wendell chaffin

Great service they really try to make you feel important and stand behind their products.

Jenny Metz

We had a leaking tire on our travel trailer while driving from California to Wisconsin. My husband was able to change it but we didn't feel good about completing the trip with no spare. After being told by other shops that they couldn't squeeze in our 5 minute job, we stopped here to have a tire swapped and the guys were very helpful. Hopefully we won't need their services again but if we did, we definitely go back.

sherri holmes

Great customer service!

Kelly Gregory

I found a crack on my driver's side tire just outside of Kearney in the first half of my trip to Colorado. When I arrived, the service was prompt and very helpful. Not only did they check their own stock for the replacement tire, but they also called a scrapyard without me even having to ask them to! They found the one I needed, and had the tire on in less than an hour. They were so helpful, and made my journey so much easier. Shout-out to (Jacob or Jason, it's hard to recall a name right now) This was my first road trip by myself, and I really appreciate the help they gave me when I really needed it. 10/10 would recommend this auto service station! Keep up the hard work, it really does make an impact on the customers you have!

Adrian Robinson

Great service and very thorough. A little on the pricey side but you get what you pay for.

Matthew Nielsen

We are from Lincoln. We needed service on the road and we received excellent customer service. Thank you Tom Nickerson. We highly recommend Kearney Tire and Auto.

Bruks Ariza

Local owner.

Dave Dierking

I had some trouble with my Fusion. I called a few places in town but went with these guys because they sounded most interested in my business. My experience was excellent! Both Blake and Jason were excellent help getting me scheduled and getting me out quickly. Also, the work on the Ford was well done and I have had zero problems since!

clarence davis

I've always had such a great experience at this shop. I've had repairs done in the past including tires, exhaust, oil service, antifreeze and transmission service, brakes and more. My truck is a 1995 and it runs great. Thank you for always making me feel like I'm a priority and reviewing my needs with honesty. Wouldn't take my truck anywhere else.

Terry Hansen

My go to guys when I have trouble with my vehicles. I trust them to fix my vehicles and they have never let me down. Tom and Don and the Kearney Tire & Auto staff will treat you right.

Ryan Magnani

I used to take my car to this place to get worked on but I will not ever be going back nor will I EVER recommend this place to ANYONE. A few years ago I took my Ford Explorer in as it had a sputter and black smoke came out of the exhaust. They hooked it to the computer and said there wasnt a code and charged me for that. It kept doing it so I returned and they wanted to charge me quite a bit to drive it with the computer connected. It ended up being $3-400 and they couldnt tell me what it was still. I did a quick google search for the same symptoms and it suggested the Fuel Relay sensor. A $10 part and less than 5 min on my own and the problem was fixed. I explained this and they would not give me any kind of refund. AVOID IF YOU CAN!

Leia Manni

very polite, kind, prompt, and wonderful people to work with.

Jedd Pesek

I couldn't find a piece or even it's name on an engine I was working on. Called multiple part stores with no luck. One call to them and thier service department helped out tremendously, even finding me a price. I would recommend them over and over again. Thank you Kearney Tire & Auto!!! You set the standard for customer service!

Kim Rahe

We were absolutely thrilled with the our experience at Kearney Tire & Auto. Don and Ronda deliver excellent service on both a professional and personal level. The friendly staff and knowledgeable technicians are a cut above! I will recommend KTA to many people in the future and they certainly have my business. Kimberly Rahe

Patrick DeBiasse

Service writers are very friendly, but somehow justified charging me $107 for an oil change (which I provided the oil and filter for) and a "complimentary" tire rotation on my 07 Honda Fit. I'll opt for other shops in the area moving forward - hopefully they'll be more reasonable.

Joslyn Moore

Nice group of people working here.

Debbie Humphus

Thank you Kearney Tire. You all were so nice and friendly, when we pulled off the interstate to have a tire sensor light checked out.

Jamalee Jenkins

They have the best customer service in town! Have went above and beyond service for all out vehicles!

Andrew Baumgartner

Terrific service. Everyone was very friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. Best auto service I've done business with. I highly recommend.

Charles Hawkins

great service and great employees. got these hot wheels there

Ed Kirkpatrick

I stopped to price new tires and Don gave me several options to consider and I found that the price of the tires was actually less than when I bought my previous set from KTA. So actually, the tires were a bargain. Don scheduled an appointment for the next day and I had them aligned at the same time. KTA gave me great service and I shall return for rotations and other services. Kudos to Don and his staff!

Jerry Chasek

These guys get it right every time! Excellent service, treated my wife professionally when she picked up the car.

Judith Geiselman

Trustworthy!

Cookie DeJonge

Great bunch of guys that work there. They explain what is wrong and how much it is before they do a thing. Also clean your car and give you a bag of popcorn as a surprise.

Roger Hakeman

I was traveling through Kearney Nb on I-80 in my class B motorhome and stopped to avoid being caught in a blizzard in November 2015. I realized I hadn't checked my tire pressure in quite some time, and looked for a tire store online. I called Kearney Tire and Auto late in the afternoon and they said they'd be happy to check them. I took the van in, and despite the snow and weather, checked all four tires, and aired them up at no charge. The next morning, I discovered that the van's house battery wasn't charging and had stopped working completely. As I'd had charging issues when I bought the van, I didn't know if the battery had just died or there was an electrical problem. I wanted to figure it out before I hit the road again. I called them again and once again they told me to bring it right in. I got there... they ran diagnostics on the electrical system, found it to be fine, and figured out that the battery was shot. As it was a standard starter battery rather than a deep-cycle RV battery, they found the correct battery, installed it and got me on the road quickly. I had TWO five star experiences with Kearney Tire and Auto in two days. Kudos!

Steve Cooke

Was able to get in and out in a reasonable time. Not only did a great job with the tire change I needed but helped with an issue I did not know about. Very clean and professional. My first choice for auto service

Eric Metz

I have been to my share of tire shops and this place is top notch. My wife also posted the same great review, but I had to add my own because I was so impressed with their desire to help. Every person I encountered was knowledgeable and did not BS anything. I wish I could find a tire shop half as good in my town.

Randy Gehrt

A few years ago I was having issues with my car eating through tires, even after an alignment at a local Ford dealership. Since I purchased my tires through KTA I talked to them and they researched the issue concerning my car. They discovered that my make/model of car was notorious for this and came up with a game plan to make the tires last longer. A few years later, thanks to their research and recommendations, my tires are wearing at the rate that they should. I have found that their service was far superior to any other auto repair shop I've been too. I've been taking all my vehicles to them for a few years now and am pleased to know that not only will they take care of my vehicles, but they will also take the time to explain things and show me the issue in the event that a repair is needed. The piece of mind knowing that my family and I are being taken care of is very appreciated and humbling. Many thanks! -Randy

Kimberly Rahe

We purchased 2 sets of the Wipe Out Cancer Wiper blades, one for our Nissan and one as a gift for my mother, a breast cancer survivor! I LOVE them!! So many people notice them and ask me about them. I am delighted to share that I bought them at KTA and that the proceeds will be donated to a local cancer charity, Kearney Tackles Cancer! Thank You KTA for leading the pack when it comes to philanthropy in our community!!

Elizabeth Wheatley

Extremely helpful and nice. Got me a warranty claim for my old tires. Saved over $200!

Jacob

28 dollers for a tire rotaion, isnt the end of the world. Lol I was telling the guy at counter about lack of air with a gauge along i80 through Iowa and nebraska. Gave me a pressure gauge for free. Thought that was pretty cool

Canslaw Digger

Heating system was operating erratically. I had already changed out the control unit and the actuator motors, to no avail, and told them so. They changed out an actuator, charged me around $500, but didn't fix the problem. Told me I could leave it longer but they wouldn't guarantee they could fix it.
