I brought my 2017 f-150 in for a 2.5” leveling kit and to have new 35” x 12.5” tires with new 17” wheels. Steve and his team did an amazing job from helping to pick the right parts, ordering everything and than the installation. I’m extremely happy and highly recommend using lower merion tire for all your car needs!
I brought my Volvo in for regular service and oil change to Lower Merion Tire & Service. I used to go to my local Volvo dealer for service but after years of getting ripped off and forced into unnecessary repairs, I decided to go elsewhere and Im extremely happy I found Lower Merion Tire & Service. This place can be summed up in 3 words: Affordable, Honest, Quick. Hal and his team were able to get me in for an appointment right away. The drop -off was super easy and convenient. Within a few hours, the work was done and I could come get my car. I was very nervous to see the bill but to my surprise, the cost was a very reasonable affordable. No unnecessary or costly repairs - they fixed what they had to and nothing more. It was such a nice and refreshing experience to get my car serviced and not feel like Im being taken advantage. Our family will bring all our cars here for regular service and maintenance in the future.
Weve been using Lower Merion Tire & Service since moving to the area 3 years ago. Since then weve been treated to friendly, professional, and fairly priced service. I dont know what else one might be looking for from an auto mechanic. I highly recommend them.
Great experience with LMT&S. Hal is great - a nice guy and a straight shooter. Will fit you in on short notice, tell you exactly what you need and what you dont, and the crew does high quality work at very reasonable rates. Brought in my daughters 08 Infiniti for some exhaust leaks and a few other items, and LMT&S made expert repairs to the existing exhaust for a fraction of what the dealer would have charged for new components, refreshed a couple of suspension items and spotted a bubble in a tire, and now the car is back to running well again. Will definitely be coming back!
So kind and great service! They fixed my tire up a few months and just filled my tires for me after the dealership neglected to do so during routine service. Thank you!
Fantastic as always. My car is all checked out and ready for travel. A great piece of mind when you know good mechanics. 👍love Them. !
Tire repair/ State inspection of my Electric Vehiclewalk-in service- quick, efficient, quality service- superb!!
Very accommodating service station. Can always get us in in a pinch. They do fine work. Weve brought several cars there and theyve all been done well. I think they are reasonably priced and fair.
Always courteous, professional and do a great job. Been happy with the work m every time I’ve taken a car in for tires.
The owner helped us with a broken trunk latch after hours at no charge. Thanks so much.
I have been a customer for 36 years and have consistently received cheerful and competent services from their well-trained technicians. Co-owner Steve Harvilla has developed an effective and efficient operation that I consider the Best on the Main Line. I have referred many friends.
Most reliable car service on the mainline. Awesome owner and staff!
I pass by this place everyday and decided to give it a try. They were very friendly over the phone and in person.Friendly staff - yesRecommend to a friend - NoUse again - Wouldnt be my first choiceGreat location - yesPrice - I would get everything upfront and detailed because a quote over the phone easier turns into hundreds more in person.In the end, they did a sevice, I paid and next time I will explore other options.
I have used their services many times. Went to a place near my home to get my car inspected and found that I need back brakes and rotors. They could not do the service I needed done and you know I was not going to the car dealership. I have a 2015 Volvo so I went back to them to fix it. Going to cost me $500, but you know it would be a hell of a lot more at the dealership. Their service has been top notch for my husband and I. Everything is told upfront and I am completely satisfied with their work. I have been coming to them for years. Some things you have to go to the dealership and some things no way.
Stopped by this morning after finding a screw in my tire. No appointment, and first time there. My tire was repaired in 20 min and there was no charge. Will definitely be back!
Whatever you decide to do, wherever it is you decide to take your business, ask questions and do not be intimidated into doing what anyone tells you is necessary to fix your vehicle. I am certain this experience is similar to what I might have experienced elsewhere. Suss out as best you can the whats and whys and go from there.Because I trusted the good reviews, we brought our car here for a safety inspection after recently moving to the area. The people were friendly and the initial evaluation was quick. I was told we would need over $1,600 worth of work, and was given the explanation that there were clunking and jarring issues when turning and stopping, things weve never experienced when driving this car. Im an engineer and my husband designs engines and has raced cars in the past, so we do have *somewhat* of an understanding how these car things work.None of this made sense to me, and because I was not fully trusting the evaluation they were giving me, I asked for an itemized list of what was included in the $1,600 quote. The only thing I was able to get was the estimated cost for a pair of tires, which was far more expensive for a lower quality tire than what I knew tires for this car cost. This was the red flag.We know our car, so we ended up taking it to another shop, where they told us we only needed to replace the tires to pass inspection (
I have been a customer for 36 years and would not even think of taking my car to any other service center. Managers and mechanics are well-trained and knowledgeable and always have the time and patience to answer questions that the owner has about large or small issues. Whether you make an appointment or just drop in to get your car repaired, you can be sure it will be done right the first time. I have never had to take my car back because something was not done right or not completed. This is a company you can trust. I have the highest regard for the company owner, Steve Harvilla, who has often gone beyond the call of duty for me. He is genuine and sincere in his wish that his customers are fully satisfied. Without a doubt, this is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with.
I had a cars suspension (low rider) changed back to normal. They did a great job in one day and explained fully what was needed what each piece replaced, explained the why what how and inspected for 2300.Very happy.
Awsome owner and staff. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Great to work with and always go the extra mile for their customers. Highly recommend this shop for ALL auto needs!
The staff is very professional and knowledgeable trying to serve you the best . The place is clean and have a snack bar and TV to keep you entertain while you wait. I highly recommended. MM.
Fixed a flat and had me on the road again in less then 30 mins.
Really great work and fair prices. Highly recommend. These guys know their stuff.
Great service Great people
I highly recommend this place! On short notice, they were able to diagnose and repair several major problems with our Volvo. They are honest and straightforward, and they do excellent work. They are even open on Saturdays! They have free WiFi, and you can walk to nearby businesses for food. These guys do it right!
Update May 2019:Just had them do PA state inspection one year after they helped with my suspension project, and the car passed with flying colors. Hal remembered the project, and we had a good time catching up.Original review May 2018:They helped me out on very short notice with an unusual request: I was installing new springs myself, and I could not get the sway bar end links off.Even though they were busy, Steve, the owner, told me to come right in, and Hal even let me go watch.It was a harder job than they expected, but they had me in and out as fast as they could for a fair price, and I was able to continue my project.After lowering it, we discovered we really needed adjustable camber arms in the rear. I ordered them, and they installed them because it was not a job I could do.This was doing business with members of the community who offered assistance when it was needed most.Thanks, guys!!
Friendly, efficient and timely service. Prices are reasonable and they never try to sell extra services. I bring my 3 cars here and highly recommend
First time going, had a brake issue. They looked at it for free, recommended I go to dealer as it might be covered under warranty and were friendly and polite. Love these guys. Will go there again.
Inquired about mounting and balancing a set of winter tires that I had already purchased online. Quote was about 40 bucks a tire, Wilkie Lexus did it for 22 bucks a tire. Shop around for tire mounting and balancing. I can not speak to their quality of work just the pricing above the Lexus dealership seemed odd. Also Mavis Tire only wanted 59 to mount and balance all four but could not do it until the following day so I went with Wilkie.
Woke up with a flat tire, that was luckily a slow leak I could fill up and drive to United. They were fast, up front and even synced up my tire sensors the dealership missed when I got new tires less than a year ago. They patched it and didnt add on any surprises and were good people. Oh and it wasnt expensive, in my opinion.
Place is really great. I called them last minute on a Saturday to do an inspection of a used car I was considering. They saved me from a potential mistake. They were quick and ultra courteous. Cant recommend more highly
They got us in right away, did the work very promptly, and were very friendly. I hope to use them for future service. Highly recommended!
The folks here were great. We were their for a new tire and they turned a bad start to our day into a great day. Fun group and very personable.
Im really impressed with the friendly and courteous staff here. They always help me without trying to convince me of unnecessary parts of repairs. Its a pleasure to do business here.
Guys were nice, honest and helped quickly. Highly recommend.
I recently moved to PA and brought my car here for an inspection based on the high rating. Unfortunately, the service here turned out to be just short of extortion. The techs insisted that my car needed over $1500 of maintenance to pass the inspection, which was a surprise to me given the recent work done at my regular dealer. Being skeptical of their diagnosis I brought it to a dealer and none of what these techs insisted on was actually needed. Further, the cars expansion tank had a crack that the techs didnt notice, presumably because they were too busy dreaming up fake ailments. All in all, taking the car to a dealer saved me over $1300 versus listening to these crooks.
The best workout experience you can have!! The staff is amazing and very helpful - they make working out fun and enjoyable
I went in today for a flat tire and the mechanic was generous and polite. I highly recommend this shop for your tire needs. The service was quick as well!
Your go-to garage for all types of vehicle service, repairs and modifications... A+++
Outstanding customer service as well as quality of auto services. Very straight forward, reliable and reasonable.
Have my cars serviced at United Tire and Service and I am always very happy with the service. Staff is very helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and professional.Will use their service again when needed.
Amazing service!! These guys know what they’re doing and will make sure everything is 100%. Honest and great personalities, they’re my mechanics from now on!!
This place does great work and unique.
Steve and the staff are amazing! Extremely knowledgeable and helpful
Never coming to this place again. Staff is unprofessional and rude. Used to bring my car here for years to have it worked on. Recently had a bad experience with them in which they wasted my time and were EXTREMELY rude when they they couldnt figure out how to install a basic steering wheel. The guy working Hal was being a unprofessional and literally kicked me out of the establishment telling me to go to Firestone instead. Really? Thats how you treat your customers who have literally spent thousands of dollars at your business? Yeah safe to say Ill be taking my business elsewhere.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Has helped repair and maintain both of my cars.
I have always had a pleasant experience here. The staff is knowledgeable, courteous and mindful of customers time.
They were really helpful and Steve really helped me with my car tires.
I have been taking my car to Lower Merion Tire for years now. Steve and Hal are always helpful and they get my car in and out in a timely manner.
Thank You for your quick accurate service.
Great prices on tires, great community service with the customers
TLDR: Theyll overcharge you, sneak charges, give you things you dont need, and argue with you about it. Get ready to get uncomfortable fighting.A few years ago my Mom brought her car -- a Jeep -- in for some new tires. Shes not the most consumer savvy individual. I went with ehr to pick-up the car. It needed a new tire, but they replaced all four. They did so with top of the line tires and, still, they were over-priced. I examined the receipt and saw that they charged her for the additional, unannounced service of washing her car -- a simple drive-thru carwash was $40.A regional rep form United Tire was there that day. With the bill in hand, I asked the local salesman (yes, salesman) to call three other United Tires at random to get the price -- on speakerphone.This dance continued for about half an hour. In all, my Moms credit card was refunded about $350 on around $900.But, hey, great tires!
Knowledge people - quick service.
I rarely ever have an issue with my vehicle, they handle all of my oil changes and major mechanical issues with my 2002 chevy trailblazer lt
Good service
Great service

The staff is rude.
