Honest, thorough and fair.

I had a late model Mustang GT (upgraded since to an '08 GT) and went in with what I thought was a damaged rim after having struck a moving curb.:)) The owner, conveyed that his mechanic found only a nail in the right rear and that all else seemed well........The day before the dealer assurred me I would need to replace the rim (bent beyond repair...barely visible to me) and tire (damaged sidewall?) at a cost of several hundred of dollars! And everyone knows you can't/shouldn't replace only one tire. The guys at Globe removed and patched (not plugged) the flat , checked all four tires for proper pressure and I was on my way home 20 minutes after I got there. I stumbled onto this site because I need to have my mother's car tire repaired.( slow leak) and I wanted to know the hour Globe opens. I can't imagine going elsewhere. I also asked what replacement tires would cost come. Again the price for the parts and labor including balance, install and 4-wheel alignment was less BY FAR than the dealer wanted for just the tires. I am taking the time to write this so "unknowing" consumers can hear from a man who grew up in Gas Stations during the 60's and 70's and has worked on, literaly, thousands of cars. This should be your one stop for tire concerns.

• Pros: Honest, Fair and Thorough
• Cons: Didn't serve breakfast. Only Service!!

I am a huge fan of these guys. They are always clear in their diagnosis, courteous, and professional. My dealership told me I needed new front and rear brakes; Globe gave me an estimate that was half what the dealership quoted and then (after looking at the car) told me I didn't need front ones after all, so the estimate was half of that! Don't be put off by the fancy cars parked in front - Globe won't rip you off. It's so great to have a mechanic you can trust...
