The staff is tremendously amazing! They always answer any questions that I may have. Their recommendations on upcoming services have been perfect. I recommend calling ahead for any type of service that is needed. But they do take walk-ins. Keep doing the phenomenal work guys!

Had a tire losing air on a long trip. We walked in and they fixed the tire and got us back on the road. The price was very reasonable. Nice waiting area too.

We had a cataclysmic experience 30 miles east of them. The lugs on my trailer broke and threw a tire off at 4PM. We limped into their store at 5 and those boys leapt into action.They didn't have the parts but started calling around town, sent a truck out to gather everything needed. The crew went at it when the parts arrived and we were out of there by 7PM! Heck, they even got me another spare!I've got to say that my mind was melting when we were on the side of the expressway looking at that hub. Exhibiting in St Louis and needed to set my booth the next day, all hope was gone. John and his crew absolutely saved the day, bunch of badass boys and I can't possibly speak highly enough of this shop!

Had brand new tires installed. Brand new tpms sensors installed.They are refusing to make it right in any capacity. $1400 dollars and still had to take it to foremans to have a competent tire shop fix the problems

I was traveling back home & was a little under 3 hours from home when my vehicle started displaying low tire pressure. I looked up the closest tire shop & found Effingham Tire & Auto Center. They were able to get me in quick, patch my tire which had a hole in it & I was back & on the road within the hour! Fast & friendly service.

Im a retired mechanic who got a tow here on our way from Chicago home to south central alabama.We went over something on the road that took out some undershields and a wheel.They were very quick to get started on my car, looked at everything underneath, and even drove to a tire shop to get us a tire - (For a fee we were glad to pay) They Did not over charge, price was extremely fair, they offered 3 other tires which I declined -just due to being short on cash and still having tread- (you should always buy tires in pairs or full sets, so they were not wrong in recommending the upsell)Took them 1 hour, had coffee available, clean bathrooms, nice waiting area.Thank you guys for the help!

EDIT: After taking my car to another shop in town, they have informed me that Effingham Tire and Auto INTENTIONALLY damaged my vehicle after I declined their $937 brake job! I am so disgusted with these guys and their ability to play around with my money and spitefully damage my primary vehicle. This place used to be the best place to go to in terms of customer service and affordability, unfortunately nowadays they miss the mark entirely. My vehicle was brought to them with a simple request, a brake pad and rotor job. I didn t request any inspections or additional work, and yet I was charged $100 off the top for a technical inspection that I never approved and quoted with a $937 brake job and an additional $1,000 in other repairs. When I looked into it there are so many unnecessary repairs included in the quote. This place used to be my go to and I can truthfully say I will never go here again.

My son was on his way home from college to Missouri when he had a car issue near Effingham. I called the shop and Scott was willing to take a look at it late on a Friday afternoon, when other shops were not willing to do that. It ended up being a significant safety issue that they were able to address quickly and get him back on the road. Very thankful to Scott and the great folks at Effingham Tire & Auto Center for helping out my son with great service!

I have taken multiple vehicles here, for various issues. I always have received quality service at a fair price.This time it was a tune up to fix a misfire and the repair as always was done quickly and solved my issues.I have used them for a second opinion in past when something a local dealership claimed about my vehicle didn't feel right and they confirmed my suspicion (I needed brakes since the slide pins were froze) and helped me get the repair completed to keep my vehicle safe.I recommend them to anyone wanted to use a local mechanic for their trustworthy and quality service.

I want to thank the men at Effingham Tire and Auto Center for the help yesterday! While driving back to Paducah, KY from El Paso, IL after the purchase of a vehicle, my driver-side rear tire acquired a screw and became flat overnight while staying at a local hotel. After a fruitless visit to the Ford Dealership (with no technicians working on Saturday) they referred me to these fine people. Within an hour or so, they removed the screw, patched the tire, and sent me on my return trip to Paducah. Everything held up beautifully. They treated me with kindness, consideration, and care. Many thanks for the help while stranded in unknown land!

John was fantastic. I was run off the road by a semi and after I was pulled out my truck was bouncing and on Friday night at 9:30 John knew just what the trouble was. It had packed snow and mud on around the tires and he took it back and pressured washed it and didn t charge me at all. What a great place!!!!

Got my car fixed in a couple of hours after it was towed to the auto center. They did not try to do anything that was not causing the problem. Steve's shop was open until 11 pm and that helped a lot. I got the car checked again from the dealer and they could not find any other issue. Good job!

Took a loose wheel and tire to them. Tire was repaired in a timely. Their employee went out of his way to put the wheel and tire on the vehicle it had came off of when I arrived to pick it up. Thank you for the great service and friendly service members

The day before I was going on a day trip with friends and family, I had a tire register 15 PSI. I knew something must be wrong with the tire so I called Effingham Tire to see if I could take the car in and possibly get a tire rotation. They said I could so I went straight there. I left the car there and the tire was fixed and tires were rotated within a couple hours. I appreciate their prompt service.

We are traveling and noticed our tires were making more noise and suspected they needed to be rotated. They checked our tires and then fit us in that afternoon to balance and rotate them. Wonderful service!

This place is very expensive and they do not keep you informed at all about the progress being made on your vehicle. Unless you like waiting forever, paying a fortune, and not having a clue what's going on, I would avoid this business.

I was brought here by AAA. Traveling from OH to KC. The Shop told me that after the repair it was good to go down the road. After leaving this shop and spending over $250.00, my engine seizes up from the overheating ( that supposedly they fixed) and I'm now out a car and 250$. After calling to explain. I was met with a we don't care and it must be MY fault. REALLY???? IM NOT THE MECHANIC!!!!! I will never go again. I'm actually genuinely concerned for others who use this shady establishmentConsidering the conversation I just had with Steve the manager. I update my star review because of his professionalism and willingness to work with me to come to a resolve.FTER THEIR WAREENTY COMPANY SAID NO THEY TOLD ME IM ON MY OWN AND THEY WONT MAKE IT RIGHT!!!!! NEVER GO HERE. SHADY. REPORTED TO BBB.Lawyers will be getting involved

They got me in at 4pm on a Saturday when I had a screw in my cars tire and down to 6PSI. They got the tire patched, while their bay was filled with other vehicles. Quick and convenient.

Our Coach RV was towed .3 mile to their place at midnight on a Saturday night. Paul was on duty when we called them and his help for us was amazing. He told us we could sleep beside his building. On Sunday they had the ignition part and on Monday morning by 8:30 it was fixed good as new! We highly recommend this business!
