Went in to swap a tire out from a cracked rim to new rim. I purchased the tires from them in November 2024. Had no problem with the price of the tire swap. However the service advisor asked if I wanted a tire rotation and I said yes. He was going to charge $60 for rotation and balance eac tire. I told him I bought it from them and should be free. He sounded disappointed and said it will be free and no balancing. When I picked up the car he asked if it is ok to charge $20 for the balancing of the wheels to make the techs happy. I said sure. When leaving the shop I checked the wheels and they were not rotated and balanced. The new rim that I replaced was still in the same place and other wheels were never taken off. How can I tell? The brake dust showed no smearing or disturbance. I paid $20 extra for nothing! I didn't go back in because I had to work. I had another bad experience last year after I purchased the tires. They said they couldn't perform a wheel alignment because one of the front wheels were frozen and they couldn't move it. Wanted to charge $500 to replace a bar connected so they can do the wheel alignment. Luckily I had free lifetime wheel alignment from a previous set of tires I bought from wheelworks. Wheelworks was able to do it. I always believed in using my local shop but will definitely not go back anymore. Very disappointed. I have to get new tires for my wife's car and will be looking elsewhere. Updated 8/1/25 I immediately received a call from The owners Bill and Trevor after submitting my original post. They apologized and promised to make things right. Trevor has restored my faith in Adams Autoworx and what great customer service should be. I have spoken to Trevor several times throughout the process and he has always been pleasant and very accommodating. I have taken my wife's car back to Adam's for new tires and am very pleased with the service received and work completed. I will definitely come back for my automotive services and tire needs. I also advised my neighbor to take her car to Adam Autoworx for new tires and service. I would also like to thank Becky, my service advisor, for the great service. Thank you again Adams Autoworx for correcting a wrong and making things whole! Well deserved updated rating to 5 Stars!
