Service was fine. I am very pleased with the work. I took my car in, they took me home and called me when it was ready. I would say they do good. They are very accommodating and have great prices.

I dropped off the tire and it was ready when they said. No attempt to sell me anything extra, they just did the job and did it right.
Description of Work: I just needed a patch on a tire that picked up a nail--not a complicated job, but still one that needed to be done right.

After several months of my using the new brake pads, everything seems to be fine. The screech or scraping I was hearing before the work was done was gone after the pads were replaced. They also added brake fluid. So, as far as I know, the work was done correctly. The service provider did the work basically in the time frame that he promised and for the price that he promised. The price seemed to be reasonable, but I am not sure about that. I do know that the price B&D charged is less than the dealer would have charged. I left the car at the shop in the morning and walked home. After the approximate afternoon completion time they had told me had passed, I did have to call the shop to find out if the car was ready. It was not, but the additional time was only another 45 minutes or so, and I was able to pick up the car then. The work was still done in a reasonable amount of time for a busy car repair shop. The employee who had worked on my car showed me the old pads, and I could see how worn they had been. However, the shop employee was honest enough not to try to make me pay to have additional brake work done such as turning the rotor (because this was not necessary). Thank you, B & D, for being honest!
Description of Work: Installed new rear brake pads using authentic Honda pads

I needed to have tires replaced on both my wife's 2006 BMW and my 2003 Silverado. I normally order all of my tires off Tire Rack and then have them installed. For the BMW, I purchased the 4 tires online and took them down to B&D. They charged me a nominal price (~$20 / tire) for mounting/balancing/etc and preformed an alignment for $79.99. There was no hassle or attempt to continue selling me. The guys in the shop were very friendly and helpful and they took care of the job in a couple of hours (they could have done it sooner, but I didn't want to wait there). When I picked up the BMW, I priced out tires for my truck. I had already done my research and did a price comparison. When the online shipping is included, these guys were the same price (or a couple of dollars lower) for the exact same tire. I called them 2 days before I wanted to have the tires installed so they could order them. When I should up, the quickly took care of the new tires and got me out of the door. Very professional, old school shop. I come from a long line of car guys and would highly recommend them. There is no attempt to upsell and they will tell you the truth.
Description of Work: Mounting and balancing 4 tires for a 2006 BMW (tires purchased online and provided to them). Completed an alignment as part of this. 2 new tires, mounting, and balancing. Rotated front to rear and did an alignment.

Fast, friendly service performed while I waited.
Description of Work: Needed new tires (4) for my Honda Civic. Price was probably comparable to other auto service places, but I went here because of the review on Angie's list. They also checked my brakes and replaced some brake pads for an extra charge.

No problems.
Description of Work: I bought a new set of tires for my car. They were very professional. Since then, I have had to go back to ask about a rim issue. They were quick to offer a diagnosis and offer suggestions on how to fix the problem.

I got a new tire. They are great and I've used them several times. They are wonderful, very nice and they do a good job. I have recommended them to others, my husband has used them. There was some discussion about other tires, they what is available and for how much and what makes the most sense. I feel they are honest. They seem to be really into tires. They do some repairs, but I'm not sure exactly what, they do mostly tires.
Description of Work: I take my vehicle to B & D Auto Center and most recently used them when I had a punctured tire.

My husband got 4 new tires from B&D. He checked Consumer Reports for a specific make & model of tires. B&D ordered the tires to be delivered and my husband went in for his appointment. everything went like clockwork. The work was done neatly and properly, and the staff was courteous and helpful. In the end, the cost was $150 less than we had estimated when we priced the tires!

Description of Work: Honda Civic was overheating. B&D quickly diagnosed problem and proposed a solution involving replacement of a few, inexpensive parts, less than $100 job. But next day, when they started up the car to move it to repair bay, they noticed that it shuddered, which led them to think it might be a much more serious problem involving an internal leak. They recommended a test for internal leak, but when I told them that the car had been serviced at a local dealer who had not found the problem, they suggested I take it back to the dealer to check it. B&D did not charge me anything for any of this. As it turns out, when I took it to the dealer it turned out that B&D was exactly right, the entire engine had to be replaced. So B&D quickly found the problem that others had missed, and charge me nothing for their excellent work. I was therefore very impressed with their skill and their professionalism. Once the new engine is installed by the dealer, I am going to take the car to B&D to make sure the work was done properly by the dealer.

Had one badly cracked tire pointed out to me by DMV. Brought car in to B&D expecting to buy two new tires. They were actually closing shop. (They close at 2:00 PM on Saturdays, not 4:00 PM as reported in Angie's list page for B&D.) But the proprietor kept his two guys on (I heard them mention overtime) and had them take the tires off to put two new tires on. They noticed that all of the tires were somewhat cracked, and showed me that. They really were - I don't think I've been taken. Then, he suggested it should be aligned and quoted me a price for that, less $10 (he said) because I was buying tires from him. I said OK. It was all complete about 35 minutes after I got there.
Description of Work: B&D sold me four new economy tires, balanced them, and aligned the front end.

Great. Was a little suprised at the cost of alignment but that was my fault for not asking.
Description of Work: Based on Angieslist recommendations, dropped in with no appointment one morning. Had a flat and had installed the spare but knew it was probably time to replace all the tires. Proprieter (sorry don't have name but he appeared to be boss/owner) came out inspected all the tires, showed me where they were worn almost down to the warning strip put on by manufacturer. He asked if I wanted about the same grade of tire that was on the car -- second set the car has 99K miles -- and I said the car was used mostly on surface streets rather freeway driving. He quoted me a price seemed fair, recommended that they should be aligned --here he didn't give me an estimate which I should have asked -- and said I could pick up the car in about an hour pointing out a coffee shop up the street where I could wait. Returned car was ready bill was 382, including $40. labor, $60 for alignment.

Drove in without appointment to change tires - I was familiar with the prices around town and thought they were fair. They convinced me to pay for alignment as well for new tires, which made sense. Changed tires in a reasonable amount of time, and also pointed out that I needed new front brakes (which I was scheduled to have replaced at the dealer the next day). Overall, very satisfactory.

I had to go to B and D because I had a flat tire the night before and was driving on the little donut tire. They were great to me, even though I was a drive in customer with no appointment. They replaced the tire with a new one at a reasonable price and in record time. I was in and out of there in 15 minutes.

I had a flat tire and needed that repaired, but when I looked over the tires I could see that it was time to change them. However, I didn't have much time. I told B&D that I would like tires but I only had a couple of hours. They replaced them well within that time. The service was straightforward and professional and the price fair.

I had let my tires go too long and had two that were completely flat. I was desperate to buy new tires quickly as I had obligations to meet that involved driving. B ad D got me in immediately and within two hours the job was done. They also aligned the car. Peter couldn't have been nicer. I was so grateful that I was able to find quick, efficient, excellent service.
