Tires, near The Plains, Pennsylvania

On Monday, March 12th, my husband and I were traveling on I-66 when our low tire alert came on showing a tire was quickly losing air. We got off the highway, hoping to find a gas station and came upon The Plains Tire & Auto. After inspection, the technician told us that the tire could not be repaired and they did not have a tire there that would work. They quickly made phone calls looking for a tire for us. They found one about 1/2 drive each way to get it. Someone went to pick the tire up, brought it back and it was quickly mounted on our car. They even printed out directions for us to travel home from there. I can't say enough good things about everyone we encountered in The Plains. Kind, helpful, understanding to our situation, etc. We will probably never need to visit The Plains Tire & Auto again, but would highly recommend it to anyone. They were a lifesaver to 2 Pittsburghers, a long way from home. Thank-you!

My car died on the interstate a few miles away, and my car was towed here at 4PM on a Friday. They we so fantastic and helpful. They got me right in and got me the information I needed to make decisions quickly. They bent over backwards to ensure I was taken care of. Such great friendly people, and as terrible as it is having car trouble, I am thankful that Brandon and the Plains Auto team were the ones who were able to assist me.

I was stuck 3 hours from home with a flat tire and a stripped lug nut. They got the lug nut off and put my spare on for me very quickly and had me back on the road in minutes!!! Roadside repair couldn't even help me but these guys did!

We are in between living in Alexandria and Boyce and got stranded on 66 near Marshall. Friends who live in Marshall recommended Plains Tire & Auto and said to ask for Brandon or Bill, "good honest guys". Great customer service! Let us know what was going on and got the job done in quicker time and for less money than they quoted!

Huge thanks to your great mechanics who successfully repaired the fuel vent line on my 2015 Nissan Frontier truck! A squirrel chewed the fuel line and severely damaged it which could have been a very expensive repair to replace the whole fuel tank based on Nissan's one-piece design. But thankfully your team was able to repair the line without replacing the fuel tank. Thanks for being the trusty, friendly shop that treats its customers like family!

Eric Plumer

Honest pricing, great workmanship. My husband and son take all of our vehicles there for service. Recommend!

Melissa Sorenson-Washer

Thank you Brandon for making this right. A good mechanic is hard to find these days and just as important as the relationship you build with your doctor. I hope to be able to continue to do business with you and the team at the Plains.

Greg Walker

HONEST, EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Davia Shair

EXPERTISE! HONEST, EFFECTIVE AND PROFESSIONAL! I'd give them a thousand stars if I could for every dollar they saved me today thanks to their exceptional service! Thank you guys.

Davia Shair

Honest and Affordable. I was traveling alone with two teenage girls when our tire pressure started to go down quickly on the highway. Next exit was The Plains, while waiting for AAA I googled tire shops, to find The Plains Auto 177 feet away. They could have easily told me I needed to purchase 4 new tires (having a 4 wheel drive). Instead they patched it for $32 and did it within 30 minutes. I am used to garages trying to take advantage of women. The Plains is a very affluent community. That alone led me to anticipating hundreds of dollars. Thanks to these wonderful gentlemen it was $32 and 30 minutes. I highly recommend them!

Eia Schrider

I had a flat tire on the major highway near this location. I was panicked and made it to the service center right as they were closing. The gentlemen that helped me out were phenomenal!! They helped me and placed a next day tire order for me (it was promptly ready at 9 am the next day). They even drove me to the local deli so I could wait for my ride to pick me up who was 40 minutes away. When they called me the next day they made sure one of the first things they asked was did I make it home safely. I cannot thank all the workers for their kindness and promptness in fixing my vehicle and worrying about my personal well-being as well. I HIGHLY recommend this service center for all of your needs. They go above and beyond!

Rachel Wollenberg

Great guys they know fixing, very affordable.

Edward Zigler

Friendly, reliable, and thorough: HIGHLY recommended! I am not sure how or where to begin, but my wife and I had just completed a 7.1 mile hike in Sky Meadows Park. We returned to the car, and one of my tires was completely flat. AAA roadside assistance was requested/initiated because we were more than sixty (60) miles from our house in Northern Virginia, physically exhausted, with a dilapidated car, and in the middle of a park with few amenities. While waiting for the AAA dispatcher, some fellow park goers offered to help, including a gentleman named Mike (who we later found out was The Plains Tire and Auto owner). We politely declined because this was during the heart of COVID (September 2020) when a vaccine hadn?t even been created. Mike returned from his exercise about forty-five (45) minutes later, and we were still stranded and without an update from AAA. Mike rolled up his sleeves, discovered the root cause (a nail), replaced my flat tire with a spare, and aided us to The Plains Tire and Auto. His dedication, professionalism, and leadership didn?t end there though. When we arrived at service center, we were greeted by Brandon, the Service Director. Brandon had already been backbriefed, and had the team start immediately on repairing the tire. Even after the fix, the team ran extensive tests to ensure our safety on the road. To say they went ?above and beyond? is an understatement. I am forever indebted to Mike, Brandon, and the rest of the team at The Plains Tire and Auto!

Bill and the team at The Plains Tire & Auto are SUPER friendly and kind. I booked an appointment the day before to get a state inspection. I was in and out in 20 minutes. I plan to consider them for future work on my vehicle. Especially for tires since we live in The Plains and on dirt roads. Thanks Guys and Happy New Year!

Samia Peeters

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because they didn?t actually do any work on my car, and I didn?t have to pay them for anything, but the two guys in the office were so helpful, at no charge, that I have to give them a glowing review! A couple of weeks ago, my Kia stalled out on route 66 near Marshall, VA. The tow truck driver brought me to the Marshall garage, but they said they were so busy they wouldn?t get to my car for about two weeks! So we moved on to The Plains, where I was told they could get to my car the next day. I was going to leave it with them and called my wife to drive out to bring me home to Centreville. While I was waiting, one of the gentlemen there checked the diagnostic code on my engine and told me that the knock sensor indicated that the engine itself would need to be replaced! He suggested that if it was under warranty, that shouldn?t cost me anything. He proceeded to check online and found that my car was indeed a model that Kia was replacing engines on, due to a recall issue. Great news! He went another step further and called the nearest Kia dealership to see when they could get to me, and it was still a wait. In the end, I got the car towed to the Kia service center closer to my home, and they are currently replacing my engine for free. I just wanted to give credit to the office guys at The Plains Tire & Auto for being incredibly helpful and friendly, even when they didn?t actually work on my car and didn?t make a penny off of me! They even have free drinks in their office, which they offered me while I waited, and I?m not just talking water or coffee, but free sodas! I?m telling you, if you live near The Plains and ever need repairs to your car that aren?t under warranty, this is the place to go! I only wish I remembered the names of the two men who helped me get through what could have been a very upsetting morning!

The Plains Service Center has been my go-to auto repair shop for at least 20 years. They treat you like neighbors. TPSC respects your business and your time . Their estimates are accurate and fair. They hire professional auto techs who stand behind their work. The waiting room is clean and comfortable with high speed internet, good coffee and cold water. Not only is TPSC a great auto repair shop they are good neighbors in The Plains

Our Ford truck started shaking on 66 and I was lucky to find The Plains Service Center. Even though they were busy with other vehicles, they were able to squeeze us in figure out our problem. They searched for the part, but is just wasn?t available. They kindly helped me figure out a plan and we called a tow truck and they let us wait in their clean and pleasant waiting room. This was late on a Friday afternoon and the manager Brandon stayed an hour past closing time to make sure I was OK. I would happily give them our business anytime.

Tania

Brandon is the man! My family and I were on a road trip from the DC area and we started having some tire trouble, THANK GOD we found The Plains Service center! Brandon came out, knew right away it was a broken belt on our tire and that he didn't have a replacement for us... instead of sending us away on an unsafe tire, he called around, had one brought over and installed it for us so we could get back in our way. These guys really did save our family vacation! They were so kind and hospitable while we waited. I only wish we lived closer so I could bring my car here for all our needs. You definitely can't beat the price!

Monica Jaenicke

Fast, fair prices, and no nonsense

These days it's hard to find a place that doesn't rip you off.

Daisy L.

This was the opposite of most experiences dealing with car service. They were courteous, accomplished the work on time and didn't leave mud and grease in my car. I scheduled to have them do some routine work and when I arrived, I also asked if there was anything they could do about the dull headlights (11 year old Prius). They replaced the headlight bulbs - and only charged for the bulbs - no labor charge! Then they buffed/polished the yellowed plastic housing for the lights and what a difference. Great job!!

Suzanne W.

I was very pleased with the work and the professional way we were treated. It is very nice to have you located near us to have work done on our car and truck instead of having to travel to get the job completed.

Hazel S.

These guys rock!!!

Sarah F.

You can do no better than Brandon and his crew at The Plains Service Center. I came in needing major repairs, and Brandon went out of his way to get me the best deal possible. Honest, trustworthy and highly competent. I won't be going anywhere else but here in the future.

Thank you Jim, Brandon and the team for once again fixing my Jeep! You all at The Plains Service Center always do a great job taking care of my family's vehicles. I don't look forward to seeing you anytime soon though. It's a bit of a drive for me to get to you guys, but I always leave with the confidence of a job done well. That makes it worthwhile.

Skip S.

This visit was only for routine maintenance and bulb replacements, but still got superior customer service. They NEVER try to sell me something I don't want or need, even when they could. It's the little extras like this that keep me coming back.

Fredy A.

My 2004 Volvo suddenly needed a new axle and related parts. It was an expense, but I know that The Plains is reasonable in their pricing. Brandon was very helpful in giving me a loaner car since the job required more time. Thankfully, I was able to go to work and pick up my car the next morning. It was such a relief to be driving my good old Volvo and feel assured that it is safe.

Diane C.

Truck was ready 1 hour earlier than promised.

Werner F.

I had a screw in my tire and needed to get to work. They fit me in, patched the tire and got me on my way. The service was great.

Ashton L.

Very professional and saved me some money compared to my previous service center.

Gregg C.

I had an excellent experience at The Plains Service Center. Brandon is a true gentleman, and he gave me all of the necessary information and called me with the quote prior to doing the work. He even offered me a ride home if I needed it! I will definitely be back for my next service.

Ann R.

This is THE place to get your car/truck repaired in area. The people who run this place are talented, honest, and overall very solid people. They have a nice and clean waiting area with coffee, drinks, and sometimes cookies. They won't start fixing your car and ordering parts without speaking with you and informing you of the costs. Definitely get reservations so you can get your car serviced quickly, they are popular and have a lot of business. I can't recommend this place enough.

Patrick L.

Fantastic. Where have The Plains Service Center and Brandon been all my driving life?! I am thrilled to find a knowledgeable, common sense, and well-priced station. I was knew to the area but Brandon treated me like I had been a customer for years. Save me with a new/used vehicle I purchased and in a couple of visits probably saved me from future thousands (at no cost to me). We will only take our vehicles to The Plains. Recommend others in the area do the same.

Gina D.

Helped me out when I came in for a quick fix. Was in and out in 15 minutes. No charge. Nicest and most helpful team around!

Greg F.

It was great! Place is very clean and service fantastic.

Daisy L.

Prompt, accurate and reasonable.

Richard A.

Excellent, prompt service. Had 2 tires replaced & a state inspection.

Jeffrey T.

They are honest, reliable and fair. Cars breaking down is part of life. Brandon and Steven and staff make it as easy as possible. Prices are reasonable. Communication is excellent. These folks are our go to mechanics.

Dan P.

GREAT SERVICE AND EXPERIENCE!

Jennifer K.

Great service shop, fair and friendly. My new mechanics from now on.

Charles C.

They are politely effective at all times, helpful kind and at a fair price.

Pan B.

Have been using The Plains Service Center for many years now. It was up until the current management a decent, honest place to have have your car serviced. Since Mike Ball and others have taken over the operations, it has upped its game. It is now easily one of the most expert and eager to please service centers in the area. Everyone from the mechanics on the line to management is courteous and seem sincerely interested in you and your issues. Tire rotations are free when you purchase an oil change... that's right, free...no charge,who else does that for their customers?! They stock most routine parts for the major manufactures which means not having to wait an afternoon or morning before picking your car up. For what was a one or two hour job. Try them...you won't be disappointed.

William W.

Service was completed timely and on budget. The front desk is quick to answer call and keep customers updated on status. Overall, strongly recommended.

Neveen A.J.

So helpful, do the work in a timely fashion, polite, nice and give options on repair.

F.B.

The Plains Service Center is always there to take care of our vehicles. I appreciate the email reminders when the vehicles should be inspected and what to expect in the near future.

Debbie M.

Unbelievable level of personalized customer service rare in this day and age. Brandon and his staff go above and beyond to provide the best service, and an outstanding value, combined with detailed and exacting communication during the entire service process. Highly recommended.
