This is my favorite in-town auto repair shop. Lots of expertise in the garage bays, together with friendly and reliable help at the front desk. They have my highest regards and trust.

USE CAUTION WHEN GETTING SERVICE HERE! I'm complaining for my Mom. I say they do a five star job on tires, only. I give them a one star on brake work. Here's the rason why I say so. My Mom was driving Hyday Sonata and they said the breaks were fine the first Mom time brought it in. I just want to say this, they did not do a good job of fixing brakes. I rode with my Mom in the car and can tell you that the brakes on the rear made grinding noise. Here's what happened on Sunday, August 19,2018 my brother Paul drove Mom to the Ryan Center the brakes caught fire. So I give them a big

DO NOT BRING YOUR VEHICLE HERE! The work they do is fine. However, they are very dishonest when it comes to their business practices. Twice, my wife has taken her vehicle there. Twice she has gotten a quote for services before she brought the vehicle in. Twice, the price she was charged was almost 50% higher than the quote she was given! She had the same service performed each time. Each time, she wanted two run flat tires mounted and balanced with the new tires put on the rear and the older tires from the rear moved to the front. She was very specific when asking for her quote. The first question out of her mouth was asking if they mount run flat tires, as some shops do not. However, when she picked up the vehicle, the woman collecting the “ransom” claimed that the price would be higher because, “they did not know the tires were run flats.” That was a bold faced lie as that was they first thing that was discussed when she brought the car in. However, they held her keys and stated, “We’ll gladly hold onto your car all day and remove the tires for you and not charge you.” She chalked that one up to a miscommunication. Hey, that happens from time to time. Fast forward.....she wants the exact same service. She asks for a quote. She is EXTREMELY specific about what she wants so as to avoid the same miscommunication. She brought the car in. Guess what???? The bill was 50% higher than the quote she was given!!! This time she is told that the quote she was given didn’t include moving the old tires from the rear to the front when they installed the new tires. Really? An additional 50%??? My wife is not an idiot. She was very specific when she asked for her quote and even double checked the price they quoted. And the original quote included all taxes. Now, the additional monies charged aren’t going to put me into bankruptcy. That’s not the point. The point is that they obviously try to take advantage of women thinking that women don’t know anything about cars and can be easily mislead. The padding of the bill was intentional and misleading. Nothing annoys me more than getting intentionally ripped off! It’s not that easy to find a shop that acts with honesty and integrity these days. And you’re not going to find it at Quick tire. Buyer beware!

Great people - wonderful service.

Quick tire is honest and reliable. My family and I have been coming here for years. You pay for what you get- and they are always thorough and honest about what you pay for. I am someone that knows virtually nothing about cars and I appreciate that they explain what they did to my car, why they did it and break down the pricing for it. I have never felt taken advantage of for my naivety. On many occasions I have encountered a last minute problem and have had the luxury of dropping my car off without an appointment and have it fixed in only a few hours which is amazing. Highly recommend.

Very good service

Erik Ellis

There is nothing quick about A Quick Tire. They said it would be done in 15 min and an hour later the truck hasn’t been in for a plug.

Christine Gould

Great Customer Service

Nora Fries

Not a customer oriented shop. My friend went in with a flat, and they sold her two new tires she did not need. Old school - not in a good way.

Eileen Work

Convenient, quick and affordable.

shengzhe lin

Reception are very rude and unprofessional I haven't finish talking they just hang up on me. Strongly question about their customer service and the job they do over there.

bryan sullivan

My car was put on the lift incorrectly putting a decent dent in the rocker panel. Nobody told me it was damaged which was pretty obvious to see as soon as I got home. They should have informed me of the damage not just hoping I would not notice. As a former mechanic I know its somthing that happens but should be explained to the customer and offered a free service or to repair it.

While I’ve heard many mixed things about this place I’ve never once personally felt let down by the people or services here. They have always accommodated me, usually on my schedule- not theirs (I go on a random, walk-in basis), and they’ve always proven to be timely and reliable. So far the only services I have had done are oil changes and a tire plug, but they gain more of my trust with each visit. With my long-time family’s mechanic being so far away, it’s great to know that this place is here when and if I need them. I feel that they’ve been willing and capable of the jobs I’ve presented so far and the costs have been very reasonable. The employees are quite friendly and down to earth as well. Five stars from me until I see otherwise.. but not going to hold my breath! Overall a much appreciated, convenient, at times even life-saving little auto shop.

Great place

Corbet Johnson

Love my new tires.

Jason Buckley

Very disappointed with my experience at A Quick. I brought in our family car for an oil change and they somehow cracked the pan where the drain bolt threads in. We did not have an oil leak before we went in. Not only did we experience this mechanical mishap (which I understand, can happen) the gentleman at the front desk acted totally unprofessional afterwords; making threatening eye contact and getting loud when I questioned what had happened. I felt strong armed into replacing the pan at an exorbitant cost. Perhaps things have changed there but by reading many of these posts it sounds like the same practices continue.

marcus brito

Needed a tire to get back home. Got there with an hour to spare... I was on the road 30 min later. A+ service.

Don Deberardino

Always great service

Yates Exley

Went in with a wicked shimmy and was told all the car need was to have some ice cleaned out of one of the front tires. They checked the tire pressure and condition of all the tires, and gave it a passing grade. no fee required. I will be back to buy tires when this set needs replacing. Not sure about some of these older reviews, I have mercedes and my heater does not cost $2,400 to get fixed!

Brittany Dorrance

Very friendly staff, quick service. Will definitely be back and will recommend to friends

mary mckearney

My family has been going to A Quick Tire & Auto Service Center for over 20 years. I will never take our cars anywhere else. You know you will get an honest opinion and they do amazing work!

So my boyfriend and I went in there for a scheduled 10 am RI inspection appointment. We sat there for an hour and a half.(just for an inspection that should take a half hour).People that walked in got in and out just like that. They decided (not abiding by DMV guidelines) to only do the safety part without saying anything to us. They think they're trying to pull a fast one on us and take $30 now to pay for half an inspection (which is illegal; and yes we did call and talk to the DMV.) and then charge us for the full inspection when we came back for our "retest", which also was not offered....and DMV states that after failing you can take a free retest within 30 days. So in reality they are just a few thieves and lazy. Not to mention they can't abide by legal laws. Went to an actual dealership and what A Quick Tire said was "rotted and rusted" was very very minimal work. First impression is everything!! The worst place I've ever been to!!!!!!!!!

Norman Perkins

Unless you want to get taken ($$$) do not patron this business. Charged over $2,400 (yes, that's right) to have my heat fixed in my truck...3 visits...and each one was more expensive than the previous. The President of the company is unethical and will do anything for a 'Quick Buck'.

Matt Vogt

Phone numbers disconnected and website is being sold off

Michael Earnshaw

I went there to get some tires after just having some other work done at another place that will remain nameless in Narragansett that cost $1200 .The woman there that was such a sweet heart, I went up to the desk and asked her what the work I just had done at the other place would cost with parts and labor. She went out of her way and called other places that supplied parts that i had just put in the car.... She added them and looked at me and said "Honey, you don't wanna know" the cost with labor from them would have been $580. I have obviously changed where I go now no matter how big or small the job is.with wonderful staff. It is excellent place and and everyone should check it out. Thanks to everyone there.

Mark Collins

I've been their 2 times and they took me in on short notice. Very polite and curtious and welcomed my business. They had no hidden charges. I paid what they quoted. Good experience.

Austin Young

If I could give 0 stars I would, in a heart beat. I arrived at 8:15 am for an oil change, 15 minutes after the store had opened. I informed the Secretary I had to be at work at 11 and needed it to be done beforehand. She assured me it would only take about 30 minutes. TWO HOURS LATER, the mechanic asked me if there was a special way to open the hood. Are you kidding me? THEY HAD THE CAR FOR OVER TWO HOURS AND COULDNT EVEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO POP THE HOOD!!!! It's a friggin Ford explorer, the handle to pop the hood literally has "hood" written on it!!! As if that's not bad enough they waited to hours to tell me! Two hours during which I as sitting in the lobby the entire time. Avoid this place and it's brain dead employees at all costs!!!!!!

Dropped a tire off to be patched on my way to work. After I got out of work and came by they said they couldnt fix it and I’d have to buy a new tire. They didn’t even take the screw of the tire and even try to patch it and the screw is in the same exact place the nail is in the directions of the tire patch kit. Now I have to do it myself I thought I could just save a little time, but no. I gave the one star just because it made me mad That if I didn’t know any better I would have thought I’d need a whole new tire.

Peter Wronoski

I like buying local, but if rather drive to Melvin tires.

Charlie McGlinsky

I had a slow leak in a tire on my minivan a few months back. I came outside to find my van with a very very flat tire before a long drive to work, and I knew I was going to be late or miss the job entirely if I didn't get it fixed promptly. My spare tire was completely rusted through and absolutely unfit for the road. These guys had my car in and out of the shop within an hour of arriving, and when they handed back my keys they let me know that they didn't want me hitting the road with such a dangerous spare as my backup and had thrown a brand new one in the back seat at no extra charge. I got to work on time, got on the road safely and securely, and they fixed the problem permenantly all for 40$ flat. I was super impressed, this shop is awesome!!

Daniel Porter

They spent time shopping for the best price for tires for me, I find them very reliable and honest

Adam Daglieri

"half an hour" for an oil change turned into OVER TWO HOURS. Not coming back.

John Tischio

Great service. Quick in and out.

Michael Ferretti

I called from New York because my daughter goes to school in Rhode Island. While another local tire place tried to rip her off and put a new tire on the car, the staff at Quick Tire were friendly and honest and assured me they would fix the tire if possible. They repaired the tire and charged us for the repair only. Thank you for being honest and thorough!!!

Teek Persaud

Very friendly and great service.

Tracy Newell

Was talked out of buying Snow tires into buying all terrain tires and so happy with the decision. They saved me the cost of mounting and unmounting the snow tires twice a year.

Marci Snell

Laurie was great

Felicie Carroll

Quick, friendly service

Not a chance in this lifetime will I ever go back to this place. Brought in my car to have the brakes and oil changed, normal annual changes. I told them the brakes had been shaking for a little bit so I figured both front and rear needed to be changed. They told me they would look and that they would call me when it was all set, I dropped it off first thing in the morning. They called me probably 3 or 4 hours later and said that the fronts were fine but the backs needed to be replaced so I said go for it. They did adamantly try to get me to buy new tires though, which were completely unnecessary as they still have much of a life in them. Fast forward an additional 4 hours and I had to call to check in seeing as it's taken so long and they said it was all set so almost $500 later I picked it up. About a week passing my car needs to be brought in again because my breaks are still vibrating and now we've added some loud squeaking, but no way was I going back to this place. I drove an hour to take it to my old mechanic where I used to live and they said the front brakes should absolutely have been changed and were causing damage to my rotors since they were past due. They also confirmed my tires were fine and still had plenty of tread to last me awhile. So now another $400 later my brakes are much better and back to normal. Still can't believe they said my front brakes were fine. Will never take another vehicle back here and wouldn't recommend anyone else to either.

Peter Schulmerich

This place is awesome!!! We found a bubble on our tire wall on a road trip. After a horrible experience at speed craft we stopped here to see if we could get a tire, they had to order it but offered to rotate the tires. After offering them money, they just said have a great vacation. Such a friendly atmosphere and professional service.
