They said the could have done an inspection for my friend who had a check engine light on, they charged her $120 and never got it done. When we went to ask about reimbursement they never gave it back to us. I kept on having to go back there to plead them to reimburse. Even then it hasn t been done. Do nottttttttt take your car to this shop!! They are very manipulative!!!!

I came to this particular Speedy Tires on Friday September 2, 2022 around 5:30 PM CDT to rectify a tire balancing and rotation issue on my 2005 KIA Spectra5 after visiting two other tire shops earlier in the day with no success or remedies to my issues above. Carlos and his team kindly greeted and welcomed me into the shop and got to work quickly on my vehicle. The team took their time to properly calibrate and program the tire balancing machine, perform a visual inspection of my new tires installation, checkout the front and rear end, and even air up all of my tires to the proper tire pressure (PSI). The tire balancing and rotation service came out excellent and the cost was only $40.00 which is very reasonable in today's market. My vehicle now drives so smooth and track straight with no vibrations, shuddering, noises, or other issues at all. Thank you so much to Carlos and his team for servicing and assisting me in resolving my above tire issues. I will definitely be back to bring him and his team more business in the future. Thank you.Services: Tires, Tire rotations

If I had an option to choose zero stars I would choose.Took my car to get looked at, the mechanic goes by "El Gordo". He took a piece of my car that didn't need to be changed and stated that it would fix the problem, he didn't have my car ready on the day he said it'll be ready. I picked up my car when ready and I still had the same issue, when I asked him he said I should of paid him more money "I get what I paid for". He continued to say I needed other parts fixed, to fix ONE issue. Carlos the owner has not returned any of my phone calls, every time I go looking for him, he either hides or is never there. Very bad service I would stay away from this place!!! He took advantage of my mother which is an elder.I ended up taking my car some where else to get the problem fixed and I paid less that what they charged me at Speedy and was told that it seemed like the pervious mechanic didn't try to fix anything.

I blew a tire yesterday evening and unfortunately did not have a spare. Luckily this business was close by! They had a used tire in stock and got me in and out in about 30 minutes.**Heads up, they do prefer cash over debit/ credit and do not have an ATM on site.Service: Tires

Carlos has had my truck for 3 months we have gave him 1400 to start the work and he has done nothing. He refuses to let me tow my car to the Ford dealership. He won t give me my money back. He claims to have a hernia, cancer, covid and a lot of other excuses for why my truck isn t done. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CAR OR MONEY. I am a mother of 5 and need my vehicle and they can t reach Carlos he s missing when I call or come up there! Unless I pop up and he s out of the shop and I happen to catch him. He wants to smile and apologize offered me money for my time. Totally unprofessional business! I feel bad for his nephew who s getting the brunt of the anger because Carlos is a cowardServices: Engine repair, Air conditioning

I show up on a rainy evening with a slow leak on one of my tires, about 15 minutes to closing time. The mechanic not only helps me and is super friendly about everything, he shows me exactly where the nail went into my tire (lets me take pictures as proof to my mechanic husband who is asking questions making sure I'm not being taken advantage of) suggests some options because of the compromising position of the nail, does what I ask him to without pressuring me into buying anything or doing anything additional other than what I requested. I was satisfied with his work and with his generosity throughout the whole process. Thank you so much for the help and advice and for your overall kindness, I would suggest this place to anyone who is in need, you won't go wrong here!

DO NOT bring your vehicle here for ANYTHING other than tires. They did small jobs on my car so I had my sons car towed there when he got into a wreck. I could look at the car and tell it was no frame damage just exterior which the owner, Carlos confirmed. It has been almost 3 mos and this man hasnt done anything to my sons car. Hes not professional at all and hasnt xalled myself or my son to ket us know whats going on. Instead we constantly have to chase him down to get answers about this car. I call and supposedly he's never there just his employees who either dont speak English or dont know anything about the car. Although ive called countless times he has never returned my call. My son has went down there several times and he swears he going to have the car done by this n that date and never does. At tgis point, ive spent a fortune on lyfts and rentals so my son can go to work. At this point, I am getting the vehicle back ans suing for the $2500we paid him. This shoppe is terrible and qill never get another dime of my money Service: Body & Trim

Mechanics caused expensive damage to my car and the owner will not take responsibility-they sent me home with FOUR missing lug nuts-they tried replacing one with one that didn t fit in my car-damaged the tread on my wheel hub that BMW quoted me the next day as a $1.5k replacement-and didn t even tell me until I noticed the loose lug nut the next dayI took my car to a BMW dealership and they told me all the damage they caused to my vehicle I didn t even know about. The owner did not refund me the service or replace my lug nuts and I ve been trying to get into contact and with a resolutionThankfully, since the owner can t fix my issue, Tarrant County small claims court can

Speedy tires is the worst place to conduct any business with. I took my car in to have it repaired by a man name Carlos Campos. He was supposed to replaced my motor in my car. He accepted my money and never did the work($1,840),also kept the battery that was in my car. My car sat for two years. I finally had my car brought home last month.He keeps avoiding me and my calls to refund me the money I paid him for a service he never started or completed. I would never recommend this business to no one. If I could leave zero stars I would.Service: Engine repair

I took my silver 2004 F150 to Carlos on May 18, 2019 to check to see why my right side of the( passenger)was feeling wobbly. On talking to his son Cookie he told me his dad said I needed control arm for that one side but do both sides. I also needed bearings, ball joints and back breaks. I heard about Speedy tire through my sister and she said Carlos was a christian man so I went thinking it would be different than the other so call christian shops I have been to and gotten robbed. Come to fine out he is no different. He gave me a price of $1100 hundred dollars. I asked him if he could come down off the price a little because since I have been coming there I have turned on a couple of people to them so he said $1000. May 22nd truck still running the same way it was when towed in. Two of my Good year long trail tires was gone and 2 of my center caps gone. And he had the audacity to put back on mixed match tires. A Micheline tire and a dry rotted old Good year tire. My tires was in mint condition and he even said I had a good truck. He was plotting the hold time I see. On May 22nd when confronted he tried to lie but then apologized in front of the manager. Wrote a promissory note to make good on what was taken from me know I have yet to hear anything from him. He has been trying to hide out at other shops hoping I wouldn't find him. Have given him my number still no call as of June 27th 2019. The manager knows what's going on and haven't done anything as well. I will know let the judge handle it. Don't trust Carlos the supposed to be christian. True story!!!!
