The car had been well maintained yet they found MANY faults.
Several of the "necessary" repairs made no sense based my knowledge and upkeep of the car, so I was doubtful - this was my first visit, so I did not approve the work
Also, without approval, they replaced one of four tires with a tire that was different from the others - only one of four tires was replaced, and it did not match!
I was stuck with the tire but took the car to two other repair shops over the following week and both recommended minor repairs. I pointed out to the second one the repairs recommended by TT and they disagreed.
obviously I won't be going back to TT
Not on this report visit, but years ago, i had a potential repair to high pitched squealing brakes on an older vehicle that could have been a full brake replacement based on my previous old car's experience. But Tire Town evaluated the situation and determined it was just 'dirt' that eventually wore off. I have so appreciated this honesty.
The crew at Tire Town immediately pulled the car in to check it out when we arrived and we knew very quickly that it could not be repaired. At that point the manager was on the line checking to see when and where he could get us tires. The price he quoted for a complete set was actually lower than we had paid about 4 years ago so we were happy with that.
As for the service, he told us that the tires could be in any time between 10 and 2 the next day so we were going to have to spend the night. He recommended a new Fairfield Inn that was about a block away and we were able to get a reservation and just intended to walk over and check in. At that point, he said he could give us a "loaner tire" so we would have use of the car for the evening in case we wanted to go out to dinner or look around the town. Before we knew it, the loaner was on the car and we were off. He called the next morning at 10 to tell us the tires we in. We dropped the car off and almost before we could walk back to the hotel, he called to say that it was ready to go.
When we arrived back at the shop it was out and ready to hit the road. He told us that we should get an alignment but it wasn't urgent and we could wait and do it when we got home.
All in all, the service and attitude of the group of people is excellent. It could have been a horrible experience but instead they made every effort to assist us and get us back on the road in a timely manner.

"Hi [member name removed], Thank you very much for the kind words! We're happy to serve you!"
"Thanks for the great review, [member name removed]! We're happy to serve you!"
"Hi [member name removed], thanks for the great review! We're happy you had a great first experience with us. We'll be happy to serve you again in the future!"
Dropped the car off first thing in the morning -- again there was someone to greet me and tell me I was expected. Received a call stating that the ball joints needed to be replaced, that's probably why my alignment went so bad. Gave me an estimate of the cost. Received another call when it was done with the final amount due (estimate was spot on).
Everyone I came in contact with was very pleasant and professional.
