The customer service I experienced at this store was exceptional. I initially ordered a set of four tires from them and they were the wrong size (my fault) but they were able to quickly accommodate me, suggesting a comparable replacement they had in stock. The price was great, they were able to add on some additional benefits while still keeping me within my budget and the tires were of a great quality. They went out of their way to help me and make my experience with them a positive one. I will definitely go back for tires and for other automotive services.

Very friendly and professional personel willing to help. Our motor home broke down and it was repaired as quickly as possible when parts were available the next day. They allowed us to keep the motor home in their parking lot so a motel room was not required. They provided electricity and water so we could live comfortably. Gave a vehicle to us to use so we could get food since we were completely out of food. Again we want to thank Larry and Mike for the great hospitality.

We were able to get in right away for an oil change and they threw in a free tire rotation. Billy also looked at our breaks. Really great service, very friendly, and funny. All the staff is amazing and funny, including Ronnie!

I had went to the location in Kingsport on 11W and had a great experience. So when it was time for new tires they were my place. They had my tire information in the system from my last purchase and they were in stock. So it seemed quicker than a self checkout at a Grocery Store that my vehicle was ready. Knowledgeable staff and very friendly. A great crew.

We had a wonderful experience with Ronnie; we were traveling from out of state and had car issues. Ronnie was wonderful and took us right away. He repaired our coolant hose and was very up front about costs. I highly recommend this location and Ronnie!

Was going to a different auto shop, and was not happy, so ended up trying out this place for the first time. Absolutely loved our experience here, and will 100% be coming back when needed. The people there are honest, and genuine. They didnt try to scam us for our money, and were very helpful. Thank you to everyone on yalls team! We greatly appreciate you all!!

Their invoice says Did you have a five-star visit today? Let us know on Google reviews.No, I did not. I don’t think a five star visit should include deceptive sales tactics. And that’s what I felt like I got.I called before I went. I asked how much is a cheap oil change? $15.99The sign out front says Oil Change $15.99. (See the picture? Pretty self-explanatory, right?)I went inside and said I need a cheap oil change. What kind of car, conventional oil…They said let me ring you up. That’ll be $36.What???I thought it was $15.99?Oh, you have to ask to get that special.Why? Because some people dont want the special?Right. Some people don’t want the special.(I’m not kidding. He really said that to me.)Heres a Free Tip for Free Service Tire Company:If you have a special, and advertise that special, maybe you shouldnt intentionally hide that special when customers could benefit from that special.Especially when you are encouraging those same customers to leave reviews for you on Google and on Facebook.

Made an appointment Thursday for Saturday to check brakes through Carvana warranty and service writer said they didnt do the Silver Rock warranty, which the manager and I had a lengthy conversation about it Thursday. Well today he said we never talked about Silver Rock, that was mainly what our conversation was about. I went down to Kingsport Tire and Phil the manager said they would do whatever it takes to get it taken care of. He made our appointment and well see what happens. But I wouldnt recommend FST Kingsport at all. That isnt they way customer service is handled at all.

Drop Dead! That’s the message from new owner Monro (out of New York) to legacy Free Service Tire customers. Lifetime alignments purchased on multiple vehicles are no longer being honored. Oil changes pre-purchased on Free Service Tire discount cards are no longer accepted. (Fortunately, down to just one but the lost money is by a daughter who is an elementary school teacher.) These arrangements were good to have regular visits, so I did extensive business with Free Service Tire over years from Center Street to their move out on Stone Drive. No longer. Monro is a single-transaction firm with no loyalty. If they have the best price on your preferred tires, then the crew is good for the service. Unfortunately, Monro the corporation loses three stars on this review. Grant Tire in downtown Kingsport was recommended by an acquaintance, so will check them out for next vehicle service needs.

I have purchased 2 sets of tires for 2 different vehicles at this location in the past month. Both times, I was given professional, sound advice. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and allow you to make decisions without trying to oversell. Their prices are just as competitive as any other place in town. I highly recommend them and I will be back in the future.

Went in with a coupon for a 9.99 oil change. They took my information told me to have a set. Not 10 minutes later the service tech came in and said all but one of my tires was bad. In which they try to sale me 4 tires, when I declined the gentleman said suit yourself. Oil change finish go to play and it’s over 16 okay fine not that bad until I was charge almost 5 dollars to dispose of the old oil. Wait, what no one else does this and if the do it’s included In the price. I feel like because I was a women they tried to make money anyway they could. Will not go back..

Nice and friendly staff. I got my appointment fast and it didn’t take long get my tires on. They Pointed out and issue I have with my wheel and explained what to expect and what to do to fix it. They printed all of my receipts ( from a previous visit and today) so I had them together. We will most likely start coming here for our car needs.

I needed expert advice about my car an of course went to Free Service on Stone Drive. I explained the problem I was having and they immediately called a technician. I told him about the problem. He road tested my car and took it to the work area. After while he came to the counter and told me what was wrong. I was dumbfounded. 3 major problems! They went into great detail explained everything. I had wanted to drive up to Russell co.Va. so my nephew could use the car as his work car. The tech. And the counter man said it would be a great mistake to drive. It seems my wheel could fall off at any point. They understood that I didnt have that much money to put in the car at the moment. They honestly didnt strong arm me into repairs. They were concerned about my safety..With their honest concern I promised to drive home and park my car. I am waiting for my family member to come and pick up my car. Thank so much for the care and concern of FreeService. Did I mention they didnt change anything!.They truly cared.

I have previously rated this business as a 5. If I could change it to a -5, I most certainly would now. Free service was bought by Monro in May 2018. There are very few of the same people working at the Kingsport TN location. In the past month they managed to completely screw up a rotation and balance on my truck, stating I needed new tires with only 2/32 worn on them (although the Goodyear in Kingsport balanced them just fine), AND made a number of mistakes on my sons car. They told me it needed two new front tires and an alignment. They wanted $200 more for the tires than I could get them anywhere else. Bought the tires myself and took them to be mounted and have an alignment. THEY MOUNTED ASYMMETRICAL TIRES INSIDE OUT!!! Then tried to tell me the pull the car had was the new tires were bad.So I take the vehicle to Goodyear, to get the tires mounted correctly. They informed me Free Service had siliconed the caps on the wheels?? Who does that?? Then I get notified that they are unable to do the alignment (definitely wanted this checked since Free Service said it was perfect) due to a damaged inner tie rod. There was no play in the wheel or damage to the tie rod prior to service at Free Service. If you value your vehicle and money at all, do yourself a favor and never go to this place. Warn all your friends and family too!!

The staff were incredibly friendly and the service was phenomenal. They gave me a full report on my vehicle, identifying areas that needed to be addressee and how to do so. They made suggestions but never tried to push or sale me on anything; I was simply provided advice and options then allowed to make whatever decision I felt best. I highly recommend Free Service of Kingsport!

Last week was driving down stone Dr in Kingsport. Saw their sign said oil change and tire rotation. I went in around noon today. Spoke with Carl who greeted me as soon as I walked through the door. I told him what service I wanted. He immediately advised me that they were booked till 3. He set up an appointment for 3. He took my info so he could have everything set up when I got there. I arrived back at 2:50 he greeted me like I had been there a million times even though it was my first time. Got me checked in we chatted about work and my vehicle. The experience I had today was honestly the best experience Ive ever had getting service for my vehicle. Every thing was done within 30 minutes honesty is a big thing he quoted me a higher price for the service because of incorrect information I have him about my oil. Once they got the correct info he adv me the price would be lower. I was surprised and happy. Just want to say thanks to Carl and his team they ROCK!!!!!

So I have a 2013 chevy sonic that I got from smart auto. And for the last month or so my car wouldnt start and I had no clue what was wrong. I was afraid to take it to smart auto as I didnt want them to put a bandaid over whatever the issue was. So I came in to service tire and auto center and david boffey took care of issue and it was super fast. I would recommend anyone that doesnt know much about car to come here service was great and staff was amazing. Thank you so much.

My mom and me just love free service tires, they are so wonderdul, we get our vehicles serviced here, our tires, our oiled changed, brakes done, even get batteries, and other work needed, they work so hard for you. They have worked past time to close to get our vehicles done the day we brought it in. They are very honest, and feels like they genuinely care for you and your vehicles. Carl is the best front desk worker Ive ever had to deal with, Carl is so AWESOME, he is so kind, funny, and caring, and just a delight to talk to. And is so willing to look up any info needed and help you in anyway possible. I just wanna thank you all so very much for you dedication and hard work, wouldnt know what we would have done without you!!!!!!

Very good experience. Called Carl and was able to get in quickly. They also did a needed alignment rather than charging me $800 for struts and shocks that were quoted by another shop as a needed repair. And were quickly able to get me two tires to replace my worn ones that were unsafe. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend their services!Carl is very professional and knowledgeable. They provide great service at a reasonable price . Highly recommend them.

I took my vehicle in today. The people here are friendly, efficient and communicate well. They diagnosed the problems and repaired the vehicle more quickly than I expected. They gave me options as to what could be done and how much it would cost so that I could make the choice instead of just doing the work and then charging me unexpected amounts. I greatly appreciate their service and recommend them.Update: I went back in today after 4 months for an oil change and tire rotation. Carl was behind the desk and, once again, I received excellent service.

This company is exceptional! The employees are super kind and they live up to their name when it comes to service. My wife and I drove between Knoxville and Johnson City for 9 months and anytime we had any car issues we knew we would be taken care of in either city.If you are needing any car repairs, come see the guys on N Roan Street or E Stone Drive. They are honest, considerate, and really look to help you out.

Had a great experience with Free Service Tire of Kingsport, TN. Carl, that runs front end, is very professional, knowledgeable and honest. I had a lot of questions I wanted to address and he was very easy to talk to about them unlike other tire shops. I bought tires and had an alignment done. Excellent prices. His workers, in the back, were great. I highly appreciate it. Great service and communication before, during and after the job was completed.

Oil change, tire rotation, tire repair, transmission fluid, antifreeze. Knowledge about the type of oil my vehicle needs and can find small leaks with tires ... reasonably priced.

I went back to Free Service Tire to get two more tires, I couldn’t afford four tires last visit. They did not have the exact tires in stock but provided me with a comparable pair for my budget. I was treated like a person and not a number. The service was quick and price was fair ! I recommend this place highly ! I will definitely go back !!! Thank you all !
