Retail tire service near Petersburg, VA

Great service great work had my oil changed and a state inspection done. I wish more places were like this. They provided free coffee as I waited. I will definitely take my car back to them Joshua

Jason and Mike are top notch mechanics! Only shop I trust with my family vehicles. 100% satisfaction guaranteed by this duo!

The service rep called me to tell me they did everything they could to find the problem but could not fix it & I should probably take my car to the Dealership. When I went in to pick up my car Berry apologized for not being able to repair the car & let me know it was NO-CHARGE. I could not believe it. Now that is customer service!!! This is why my family takes our five cars to Firestone for all our service. We trust that team of mechanics! I then proceeded to take my car to the dealership where I was raped & pillaged.

My husband took our Mercedes in because the headlights were going out while driving at night. We took it in for repair. We were told that the diagnostics said the alternator needed to be replaced. After paying a bill for 495.00, the car was still doing the same thing the next day. We took our car back to get the problem corrected. In the mean time, my husband called a local Mercedes repair shop to inquire about the headlights and they told him that most likely a module needed to be replaced. (No mention of the alternator at all). Low and behold, when we called Buddy South back, Scott, the manager told me that they THOUGHT the problem was the alternator but now they THINK it is a switch and we needed to fork over another $520 dollars. When I asked why both problems did not show up when they did the diagnostics, he said they only checked for problems with the alternator. (But the diagnostics should have been to detect the problems no matter what was causing the problem).I asked Scott if they checked to make sure that the problem was fixed after they replaced the alternator and he said he could not duplicate the problem. However, they were able to duplicate the problem the second time around. All they had to do was let the car run with the headlights on for 10 minutes and "voila". I don't think they tried the first time around, because they ASSUMED the alternator was the problem. Basically, if you have a foreign car, don't let BUDDY SOUTH guess at your car problems....It will cost you dearly. I was forced to give them one star but I would never recommend this shop to any one.....unless I really wanted to see them spend unnecessary money. I wouldn't wish that on any one.

I started going to 301 Auto within the last year and I like them. Good service, fair pricing and quick turnaround. In one instance I had them check a suspension item on my Infiniti that another shop said needs repair. Would have been an easy thing gif them to agree with the other place and do the $300 + fix. They looked at it, explained what they saw and why it wasn't needed. So I believe they are honest and not just out to make a buck wherever they can. Frank J. Mechanicsville, VA

The tires are reasonably priced here, unfortunately that is the only positive thing I can say. Seredni Tire and Auto on Route 360 in Mechanicsville, Virginia is a shop that uses claims of insurance liability as a sales gimmick in an attempt get vehicle owners to authorize unnecessary repairs and/or work on their vehicles. After you drop off your car or truck, about a hour later you will get call. They will tell you that due to their business liability insurance additional work must be done and that your vehicle is unfit to drive until it is done. This is a nasty sales gimmick used to con people into agreeing to unnecessary work. If your car is unfit to drive that is to be determined by the state vehicle safety inspection station you choose to take your car or truck to once a year. Not an vehicle repair and tire shop looking for financial gain. There are other tire and auto repair shops in the Richmond, Virginia metro area and I strongly suggest taking your business there. Life is too short and we all work too hard for our money. Skip Seredni Tire and Auto on Route 360 in Mechanicsville, VA and go to a business who respects your time and your hard earned money without the unprofessional attitudes, fictitious claims and sales drama found at Seredni.
