| - No one likes to visit car care places... who likes the generally unexpected costs of being an adult? And car maintenance costs are like movie theater concession prices - THAT much money for THAT?!?!
I have been to this Goodyear a few times, I live less than 2 miles from here. The service has always been friendly. As a female, it's always a concern that I am being taken advantage of because I am not knowledgeable of those things vehicular, but I have not really felt like I have been up-sold or offered things that I didn't necessarily need. They have patched some tires for me (put the spare on for me a couple of times until I could afford a new tire - I will be doing a review of my apartment complex and how their new roof and siding project has ruined 4 tires in less than 7 months), new battery, oil changes and some other miscellaneous fixes. This service center is located next to some restaurants if you are going to be there for a while, or directly across from Stonecrest if you are going to be there for a long while.
Today's visit was another freakin' screw in my tire, which couldn't be repaired because of the location of the screw in the tire (I was expecting that it wouldn't be a repair, but a replacement), but once I explained it was two days before Christmas and I don't have the scratch for a new tire, they put the spare on to get me around until payday. I was there for about 30 minutes (maybe less, I was watching HGTV on the flat screen they have in the waiting area) and the cost for putting my spare on was $10.
The waiting area is clean, with a TV and magazines. The chairs are as comfortable as you can expect for a waiting area, which is nice.
Another plus of this location is weekend hours. I can't always take off of work for repairs, so it's nice to have 2 weekend days to take care of life's little "DAMMIT" moments.
