University Tires Plus was such a pleasant experience! Jimmy made it easy to get my car in, managed the process professionally and quickly, was super friendly, and returned my car in tip-top shape. Honest mechanics that don t try to con you are rare, and I have found my new repair shop!

I could not recommend Tires Plus enough, absolutely love this mechanic and tire shop! They're not just great at what they do, but they're also super friendly and trustworthy. Took my car in for a check-up, and they were honest about what needed fixing and what could wait. No hidden fees or unnecessary upselling just solid service with a smile!

Their service and work is amazing!! I spent months going around in circles trying to figure out what was wrong with my car. Turns out, it was the steering wheel bushing (which most service places haven't even heard of for whatever reason). This Tires Plus was able to diagnose and fix my car with no issue. Thank you guys so much!!

"CROOKS IN DISGUISE"BE CAREFUL WITH THOSE GUYS. THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RETIERIES, PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOEW MUCH ABOUT CARS AND PEOPLE WHO TRUST OTHERS.Couple of weeks ago I arrived to the location on University Parkway with an air leak in my rear tire. I arrived at 7:30AM so I was 3rd in line. After they checked my tire, Corry, at the front desk told me that I have a nail in the wall of the tire and it can not be fixed but needs to be replaced. Thetotal cost "out the door" he said, will be $192.They did not have the exact tire and told me they will order the tire and call me but at the same conversation I told them that I will have to check with my car dealer since I bought a full warranty coverage that will probably cover tire damage. Corry did not like that and HE KNEW WHY. I never got a phone call and the reason is because Corry knows that the warranty company askes questions and needs evidence /photos of the damage.I went to a small tire shop on Washington Blvd. and they told me and showed me (see photos attached) that the nail is not at all on the wall of the tire. The repair was $15 and the tire is perfect.DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE "FRIENDLY ATTITUDE AND SMILES".

My light had come on and it was an orange color so I called and they said to come in and they would check it. A man had told me its probably the pressure in your tires are low so they checked the tires put in a bit of air in each they said the light would go away after a few miles. The light is still on and another co found what was wrong by checking the problem. Do not go to this place over crowed and if your a woman don't ever go you get treated differently.

On a trip back from Philadelphia I had two tires blow. I saw two different tire companies on the way back to get the repairs completed and both had told me that my tires were fine. I took my car into tires Plus on University as my car was still shaking extremely badly. Even though two tire companies have told me my tires were fine. Tires Plus was able to determine what because was and was able to get the parts in the same day and make the repairs the same day. I cannot think everyone enough at tires Plus a further compassion, honesty and restoring my face in the auto trade

The first thing I think of when choosing a car mechanic and maintenance is trust! Well after 3 years of wonderful experience I can truly say this Tires Plus is the only place I can trust !Not only are they affordable, they are kind, hardworking, and always helping you find the solution. The owner, Jimmy, takes pride in his business and has blessed me many times!THANK YOU TIRES PLUS

First I went in for a simple oil change, day later my engine is making weird noise. Went to check and not only is there no oil in my engine at all, but the whole cap is also missing. Went back in for them to fix it (after buying a new oil cap and oil so I could drive it there). A week later I notice something sticking out of my hood turns out it s a brand new windshield wiper that was just left there? Bizarre place I m still confused lol

Visited Tires Plus and had a 'wheelie' good time! The staff had me 'rolling' with laughter while they 'tread'-ed carefully on my car. I'm 'tyred' of boring tire shops, but this one 'inflated' my mood! 5 stars for the humor and service!

Cannot say enough good things about this shop. Jimmy, Jimmy Jr. and all of the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. They are always accommodating when I get in a jam- their technicians are outgoing to see that all my vehicles concerns are addressed with detail. Gladly recommend this shop to anyone in the University area, with confidence! Highly Recommend!

I have done business with tires plus for several years. However NEVER AGAIN. Corey is very honest. I took my SUV in for service a couple of weeks ago. I specifically ask that that the brakes and tires be checked. I was told the brakes were fine and the two rear tires needed replaced. I heard a noise and took it back in. Corey said it needed brake pads, router and calipers and two tires. He quoted a price. He called again and increased the price and said the price would be $200 higher. I went to pick it up and the price was an additional $500 more over $2200!!! I questioned it and the owner Jimmy was extremely rude and unprofessional. DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS!!!

Had a tire emergency. No problem for these guys. They've never let me down over the 8 yrs I've lived in Sarasota and have been using them.

You will leave with far more issues than you show up with. A simple oil change will suddenly turn into almost ruining your entire engine because they left the oil cap off. Please go anywhere else, there s 3 other places within a few miles of here that won t leave you with a headache.

I needed to take the opportunity to thank these guys. I ve always found them to be professional, to their word, and honest. They ve always done their best to fit me in in emergency situations, even if their schedule was full.I couldn t ask for more from Jimmy and the gang. In a world of deceit and negativity, you guys are a rare gem. Will always return.

The guys at Tires Plus are more than 5 stars. Got a flat right down the road and they took me right in without question. Ordered 4 new tires from them and did a great job with the installation. Highly recommended!!

Priced a bit high for tires they had to order. First shipment was wrong size. Good work mounting and balancing but left the fake lug nuts loose which allow the wheel covers to rattle. Also lost or didn't properly install one of the center caps.

The staff here is very helpful and very friendly. I brought my vehicle in to have a tire checked out. They found issues with another tire during their search. Thankfully they found a screw in one of my tires that I wasn't expecting. Their pricing is very reasonable. The staff is very knowledgeable of their products. I scheduled an appointment and the staff stuck to their time. They were not running behind. If you don't live far from this location and you've never used them for service I would highly recommend them. Very honest and upfront crew here.

Today I brought my car to have the oil level and my tire pressure checked before a long road trip. I needed a half quart of oil and they got my tires to the recommend pressure. They were completely booked but they managed to fit me in and help me out. I went to pay and the manager said no charge it s a courtesy. Definitely surprised and grateful. I Recommend them to anyone and will definitely go back for billable work lol.

I have used Tires Plus since we moved here 4 years ago. I have also recommended this business to my friends. They have always done a great job with a great product at the best price. Their customer service is, in my opinion, the best around. I will continue doing business and recommending Tires Plus to others.

Efficient, but will try and rip you off for anything else they can. Customer please PAY ATTENTION to your bill. Charge me 3 times, what a Self- employee mechanic would charge you. This is driven by corporate greed. It might wiser to look elsewhere.

For the last 2 years I have had my car serviced at this spot ..service is always great staff friendly and accommodating.... I have used the one on Kennedy in Tampa and was impressed with them as well . It seems tires plus have a really great business culture which contributes to each franchise impeccable service.. then again we have only dealt with 3 ..so 5 stars for follow up , consistency and service ...I recommend you give them a try

My car had check engine light and was dieseling badly. It purrs now after correcting the problem. They found what needed attention. A little pricey but I am happy to have my car working and running well.
