My first time doing business here. What great experience. I needed a front end alignment and I was in and out in a very reasonable amount of time. Everyone was so courteous and helpful. The alignment was spot on. The waiting area is great. Several types of seating, a countertop for working, seating with plenty of charging options if needed. And Jittery Joes coffee. I’ll be back for more service and would recommend them to anyone I know.

Helpful folks, will squeeze you in last minute if they can, will correct any mistakes on their own dime, and are generally reasonable about what they tell you is needed for your car. They have also been pretty fair about how much they charge. I’ve brought my car here several times and will probably be bringing it back.

Great customer service and always took the time to explain any other needs to my vehicle that I didn’t know about. They never pushed extra services like others tend to do and the waiting room has quality seating and beverages to make it very comfortable while waiting. I think I have a new place for all my cars needs! Highly recommend this place!

I had Bo as my customer service representative. He was very cordial and engaging. He drove me home since I had my car overnight. They fixed my car 🚗 and so far so good! I have been to a handful places in Athens and Watkinsville and University Tire is my most favorite 😍 I will continue using them in the future!

Excellent customer service. Honest and reasonably priced. I visited expecting to get a front end alignment but was pleasantly surprised to find out that I just needed a couple of wheels to be rebalanced. Wonderful staff!

Great experience. The team went out of their way to make sure my tires were repaired correctly and in a timely manner. Very friendly. Would do business here again.

Brian was a great help at advising exactly what my car needed before a cross country road trip. I’ve always visited this shop for oil changes/tire repair, and they made the recommendation for a whole new set of tires for my trip, service work was efficient, waiting area is clean and comfortable, they always have hot coffee!

Melissa was great. She communicated what needed to be done and explained to me what had happened at the previous shop I had foolishly taken my vehicle. Lucky for them I was convinced that the error was unlikely something they could have forseen. I will not make such a mistake again and shall always go to University Tire first.

No appointment, but worked my truck service in and had it ready within an hour… friendly, service oriented and positive . Very clean bathrooms and front office. Highly recommend!!

Charged me $89 extra on my alignment "because I put new parts on my car" In which I did but that's just stupid, every part being new should make the job easy and quick for them, and last me a long time. Then they proceeded to give me a half assed alignment. The old guy who does the alignments obviously doesn't get paid enough to enjoy his work, so he grabs my brand new hexed tie rods with pliers and marks them all up. Left my brand new tie rod boots twisted up badly and didn't even bother to put the clamps back on them. Gave me the worst most mix matched caster angle, then writes on the paper that it's "okay!" My camber was also not even! Like a whole degree off!! With all the adjustment he could possibly have on this car. I'm am so incredibly displeased with how they treated my car. And I work directly next door to them!!! This is how you treat your neighbors?! The only thing he did correctly was get the steering wheel straight and set the toe correctly. For almost $200 I got less then the bare minimum. I feel robbed of my money and my time, and disrespected!! Don't go here for anything!
