Black's Tire & Auto Svc

I live in Winston Salem. In May, 08, I bought two tires at Black Tire in Myrtle Beach. Six months and 7,000 miles later, the tires had no thread. I called a Black tire store in Raleigh, which was closer to where I live and the person I spoke to said to bring the car down and they would take a look at them. I drove to the store on Forum Dr. I expected to at least have the tires prorated. They not only changed the tires, they balanced them and didn't charge me for the new tires. I did have to pay a difference for a different tire. They offered to drive me to a store around the corner while I waited, however I preferred to walk. They called me on my cell phone when they were finished and waited outside the store for me so I wouldn't have to walk in the cold.The store is a two hour drive from where I live however I will take the drive when I am ready to buy tires next time. They are wonderful.

I have taken two vehicles to Briggs & Sons over the past couple of years. They are professional and upfront and inexpensive on oil changes, rotations, etc. However I have found that they misled me on a leak in my brake fluid lines and they would have charged me twice what the dealership charged me to fix my brake pads. I would not consider Briggs and Sons if you need major car repair work done, but I will continue to take my car there for basic maintenance.

PROS: Inexpensive on the basic car essentials
CONS: More costly than dealership with some repairs
