Reviews of Larry's Tire & Auto Repair (Tires)

Sawyer Chappelle

Dishonest, and to be avoided. I was told I needed a laundry list of things to do with my brake system totalling an estimate up to over $1,100 including over $400 in labor alone. Got a second opinion, turns out all I needed was a set of brake pads and a new caliper which added up to only $100.

Friendly staff at the front counter. A place where you can trust the mechanics. They also have accommodations in the waiting room. Clean place.

My wife took her car there to have her brakes looked at due to grinding from the rear. They said they would check all brakes and provide a recommendation and estimate. Their recommendation was to replace all rotors and pads for all 4 wheels. They said front rotors were warped and rear was metal to metal. The estimate was 650 dollars so I decided to do it my self and what I found was unbelievable. First, I knew front rotors were not warped as there was no shimmy in the steering wheel when braking. The rotors were in good shape and the pads had two thirds good life. When I got to the rear the driver's side needed a rotor and pads but the passenger's side only needed pads. This business is charging for work that is not necessary! Rip off!

Dropped off my vehicle for an inspection and picked it up within an hour! Great customer service, Heith was very helpful and made the process super easy. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area!

I've been a customer of Larry's Tire since 2010. Heath and Chris at the front are both very professional and knowledgeable. I've always appreciated the promptness of their service and how they go the extra mile to create a positive customer experience. Their prices are very reasonable and I've never once felt pressured. My kids also love the free popcorn!

Jo Dudley

Fast service and clean waiting facilities

Caleb Ellett

Nice people, decent prices. Alittle slow but they remain busy so it's understandable.

Rebekah Hunter

Took our vehicle in because the battery wouldn’t hold a charge. They said they fixed it (we were surprised when they told us it was not the alternator). Almost $1000. Told us we would need a new battery. Ok. We replace the battery, but the vehicle is still not right. Ended up having all exterior lights and interior light turn off on the pitch black road at night. As soon as I could, I pulled over. Vehicle died and would do anything after that. Managed to jump it and get it back to Larry’s. They say “Oh, it’s you alternator and it has ruined your battery”. Said they would fix the alternator (almost $600) and replace our battery at their expense. I called to pay and asked about the new battery at no charge. “Yes ma’am. New battery at no charge to you”. Went to pick up the vehicle and IT WOULDN'T START. Went inside to find out what happened. “Oh, we charged the battery, but I guess it didn’t work”. Remember when they told us the battery was ruined? Remember when they confirmed that our battery was replaced at their expense? I called and talked to the manager who was apologetic. Finally went to pick up the vehicle the next day. It was parked way in the back and was parked so close to another vehicle that you know they had to work to get that close. A child could not have gotten in the driver’s side. I went and told the manger we would never return and that his people are PETTY AND VENDICTIVE. Never again. Less-than-bright mechanics and crappy customer service.

I have to say, i pulled into wells Fargo bank drive thru when i left i felt hard thump in my tire, was a big bolt. Drove over to larry's immediately, they checked the bolt and immediately said they could take care of it, i was ready to order a new tire ugh. But they waited, could have made money from me, Finally upon inspection they realized they could repair it. Thank god, thank larry's tire. They fixed it. I was a new customer, they were there, when i needed. I cant Express enough the professional, the customer service, that i experianced. Sorry i cant remember names, 11/08/18. Thanks guys, im a new customer.

I just moved to Lynchburg from Texas. I have had a very hard time finding the right size tires for my car. The gentleman at this location really helped me out. He told me “I don’t have it here but let me make a phone call and I’ll have it for you “ within 30 minutes my tire arrived. Then today I called and told them my low tire pressure light was on. They told me come on in we’ll check it for you. Not only did they put more air in my tires but they also replaced my license plate light for me without me even asking. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great service and a friendly atmosphere. P.S. they also have free popcorn lol. You guys are awesome

Ian Smith

Best place in Lynchburg by far! Wayne does the best job at taking care of my car. Would highly recommend to everyone!

Jesse Bickel

Went there today for an 11am appointment, was out the door and done by 11:20 with my tire repair! Went here on a recommendation, will be a repeat customer!

Marshal Plotner

This is a great shop, top rating for character and work well performed on my daughter's Jeep Liberty. My daughter attends Liberty University and is far enough from home where I cannot keep an eye on the condition of her vehicle. I searched for shops near Liberty and Larrys came up as the #1 recommended on Yelp. I called, spoke to Heath and made an appointment within an hour or two of my call. The issue was a rear window motor failing as she was unable to raise the window to close. The mechanics found that a connection has become disconnected and were able to quickly fix it. She was only charged a labor charge and no parts. A dishonest shop could have charged her a lot more and acted like they put in new parts. This shop is honest and helpful!

Vanessa Williaqaagagshsgahahaajjaannams

Awesome, empathetic, energetic staff, honest, reliable work, at fair prices. I highly recommend them. Due to past experiences I have always dreaded dealing with auto mechanics but they go over the top to make things pleasant.

LEANNE Williams

Quick reasonable priced oil change

Harry Betham

Good service,fair prices

Gave me a free tire patch! I will definitely remember this in the future for any other car care.

Charles Yarbrough

Had my tires replaced there, they indicated i had a bad hub bearing assembly. So I scheduled another appt to have that done. A week later, three times ordering the wrong part, they replace the two front bearings and let me know the noise is still there. They did take one hour of labor off the bill, but $800 later and the car is not right. I do not trust them to do anything much above tires.

Kenton Graham

Awesome. Quick. No surprises.

Little Ricky

Great service

Rob

Really appreciate Larry's. Good work, fair pricing, and never feel like they are trying to up sell me or suggest unnecessary work.

Jessica G. Bean

Awesome people helped me a ton. Diagnose my car and told me what was wrong for a very reasonable price. I thought it would have costed me hundreds ended up costing $40 and some elbow grease. Thanks a ton!!

David Conner

Good service good selection

Caleb Atkins

Honest, quality shop. Worked with Heath to get new tires for my truck. He was awesome to work with. Never tried to pressure me into a higher cost tire. Always have felt respected and valued as a customer. Will be back

Tom Comparetta

Easy to work with, no extra sales, and very convenient open on Saturdays.

Dan L

Good service @ fair price.

Billy Childress

Very good place for auto repair

Brian Wilkes

Brought my car in for a mount/balance and an alignment and unfortunately they were unable to get to it in time due to the holiday backup of jobs. They went above and beyond and were able to squeeze the job in first thing the next morning to make sure that my plans were left as unaffected as possible. The staff apologized profusely and understood that their customer base is busy as well and needs to stick to a schedule.

Micah Trostle

These guys take care of me Everytime! My Alfa Romeo had a malfunction one day and they were able to help clear it up within minutes!

Tim Weeks

Steven Everett

Stephanie and Tom go out of there way to make sure you are taken care of

Ashoke Mitra

Great auto service at a great value.

Betsy Sargent

We are new to the area and having some trouble with each of our three vehicles. They took care of each problem in a timely, professional and way. Chris is top of the line and the work was excellent. I highly recommend!

JD Langton

Squeezed me in for oil change last minute. Beat the time they quoted. Friendly staff. I’ll be back.

Armand DeNuzzio

The receptionist and staff were friendly and organized. The prices are fantastic. However, my new (less than 500 miles) wheels were scratched horribly during tire mounting. The wheels are dark so the scratches are highly visible. If it was an older vehicle, I probably wouldn't mind as much, but Ive had the new car just over a week.

Alexis Wojtcuk

My family found Larry's when I first came to Lynchburg for LU. Once I got my car (2010 red Beetle), I always took it to Larry's because I knew they would be able to fix the problem and be fair about it. I came up from NC the other day and brought my car specifically so they could look at it. Thank you for always helping me!!

This is one of those rare "perfect storms" of the right place, the right people, the right advice, the right equipment, the best prices and guarantees, and the absolutely best auto repair that I have ever experienced in over 40 years. My 2012 Honda Civic hit a curb at high speed some months ago and blew the tire and threw off the alignment. Cash's Alignment of Madison Heights "tried", but the steering wheel was still canted to the left; you let go, it went left, you straighten it out, it went right. Cash's pointed to the slightly deflected sway bar, calling it a "control arm" and told me I'd have to replace it ($$$). Bill's body shop told me the frame was "probably bent" and it would cost $150 just to check. And then I decided to try Larry's Tire & Auto Repair. Turns out it didn't have a bent frame, need a control arm, sway bar, or anything else. They expertly went over my car with a "fine tooth comb" and made it right without trying to sell me unneeded parts. Chris helped me pick the best new tires for my car, and then Mark (an alignment GENIUS) put my baby true again. Driving back home up Rte 29, she is straight as an arrow once again (look Ma, no hands!!), more responsive, the quietest she has EVER been and I even got OVER 50 MPG for the first time EVER!! The friendly professionals at Larry's Tire & Auto Repair are honest, caring, and they explain the reason for everything they do before they do it. I sure am glad I found them. My Honda now drives and feels like a brand new car and I just can't stop smiling. This is the best investment I ever made! And I figure with the gas savings, those tires and alignment will pay for themselves within a year. I cannot recommend Larry's Tire & Auto highly enough. I will be going back next oil change for a free rotation (for the life of the tires, btw). And they still had the lowest prices I could find ANYWHERE. I am so happy. Thanks again, guys. You're the best!!! (btw--if you are trying to find them with GPS, the maps are WRONG. Plug in "Play It Again Sports" --Larry's is right across the parking lot.)

Tamera Ferguson

Always friendly. Clean waiting area and restroom. Great service.

Brandon S

Extremely quick doing my inspection, well definitely be coming back!

Jon Teall

I have visited Larry's a few times to have work done on my vehicle, and every time I have been impressed by how fair they price everything, and also by the quality of work that I have received. I have not been given mysteriously high prices, or surprising last minute repairs yet. I recommend this place to all of my friends

Dan and Elisa Snow

horrible will never take my truck(s) there again will go to harris - the only reason i took it there was harris said because my trucks were lifted they could not allign. needed ball joints in my dodge 1500. got it back with a large dent in the bumper.. told them and they did nothing... should have learned my lesson but I was in a hurry so took my f250 for some work, got it back the steering fluid was completely empty, there was greasy hand prints all over the truck even on the inside, and the worst is the steering that use to be tight goes all over the road. will go to roanoake to a quality shop

Stephen Siebert

The people working at the desk we're very polite and very helpful

Danita Sandidge

The owner and associates are very personable and knowledgeable. The appointment Saturday 8/13 lasted around 45 minutes. Nice clean waiting room with comfortable sofa and free coffee that rivals Starbucks. Thank you Larry for great customer service. One other thing...Thank you for keeping my car's upholstery clean from dirty uniforms or hands. Love the performance of my new Hankook tires.

bethanyjoy xo

Beyond pleased with my experience with Larry’s. I’ve gone to them a few times now for all kinds of issues and I am 100 percent satisfied each time. Excellent customer service, fair rates, and they get the job done quickly. Highly recommend!

Iuwanti Myers

I went to get brake pads on my truck yesterday which were pretty bad and grinding and was given a list of things that needed to be fixed including a brake fluid leak that was only because my caliper was bad and i was told it wasnt driveable so i abandoned my truck and caught a ride and went home and made a couple of phone calls and was given a name and number of a mechanic who said No bring it to me tomorrow morning at 8 and ill fix it you dont need all that work done and bring the parts you already purchased and ill use those which Larry's wouldnt let me do bit understandable so i went 2 hours later i got my truck repaired for $140.00 and took all my 325.00 parts back that i didnt need that Larry's told me i needed $900.00 versus $140.00+100.00 for my own parts i purchased be careful people i found a great mechanic now that i will definitely be getting all my work done to any vehicle i own that didnt try to jip me im a single mom of 3 saving as much for my kids is what i try to do and Larry's tire was about to get my whole paycheck if i hadn't knew about my own truck and had i not already gotten people to look at ny truck before hand and tell me NO you don't need all that i felt very decieved and lied to and was pretty much about to get ripped off very overpriced and very disappointed and i was very upset and stressed out for 12 hours thinking about spending the last 900.00 i had that was supposed to last me 2 whole weeks until i got paid again
