Worst experience ever. Started when I dropped my work truck off to have new tires put on. Purchased the top of the line tires as it is my work truck. I originally dropped my truck off on a Tuesday. Didn’t hear from them for a few days. Called and they told me they lost my keys. They Finally found them but then broke one of the new tires on install. Told me I had to wait 2 more days for them to get a new tire. After picking up my truck I realized they ruined two of my new rims trying to get the tires off. After many many calls to their customer service they finally agreed to get me new rims 3 months later. They told me the store would reach out when they arrived at the shop. Roughly a month later I had to call again because I never heard from anyone.
Long story short 2 weeks later the store finally called and said they were in. I dropped my truck off that Thursday and they told me it would be done Friday. Never heard from them Friday so I called Saturday and the manager tried telling me it wouldn’t be done until Monday now. To change 2 rims. This place is a joke. Bunch of inexperienced workers lead by a incompetent customer service. Avoid at all costs.

Refused tire repair service with two hours to closing time when my car is rapidly losing air in one tire from a puncture hole and even when I told the front desk I have a baby in the car and would be unsafe to drive. Unprofessional and frankly heartless.

Service was friendly and excellent. Service rep (048M) was knowledgeable and very helpful. Appointment process sped up installation and made the experience easy. I would recommend this shop to anyone who is in need of auto service and tire repair/ replacement. I would have no problem sending my young daughter here to get tires and know she will be taken care of fairly and professionally. Thank you!

I had an issue with a slow tire leak which turned out to be a bad stem valve. Ricky was very courteous. He said it would take about 30 minutes, offered tv coffee, and water. It was done sooner than expected time.

On Saturday, Sept. 7 I left my GMC Sierra at your store in Falmouth, Massachusetts for a new tire. I have always purchased tires there. Since my wife and I were leaving Monday for a camping trip, I unlocked the truck bed door to get our fishing equipment ready. That is when I found out three rods and reels worth $1200 were gone. Three St. Croix rods and three Shimano reels. I did not consider taking valuables from my truck because never did I imagine a worker robbing from a customer at Town Fair Tire for obvious reasons. It sickened me for two reasons: the money and how low an employee would go to do that. Please respond, sir. I am 68 and retired. I give Town Fair 200 bucks for a tire and some lowlife it hired steals out of a customer's vehicle.

Bought Michelin tires here after a lot of research. They were pricey but I felt important enough for the extra money. Tires needed air weekly. Finally got an appointment and each one needed to be resealed. Ok. Someone messed up. A few days later, same thing. Tires aren’t holding air -again. Now they replace the sensors in all four tires. A few weeks later, same thing! They told me now they found a nail in one tire but the other three just needed air. In the meantime, once a week I've been stopping in to have them add air so the light goes off.
Today again I am back with another appointment. Been waiting for my SCHEDULED appointment for 90 minutes and my car is still in the parking lot. Hasn’t even been brought into a bay. Poor service. I understand that everyone is busy. I made an appointment so I didn’t have wait hours. Again, poor customer service and I don’t have much faith in anyone here having a clue what’s wrong with my $1,000 + tires. Vent over!

Branford, CT location: LONG wait times, somewhat rude at times. Bought tires through a commercial account ($900). Properly maintained my tires, air, rotating and regularly checked alignment. Unfortunately, I did get a bad flat on the highway about a year and a half after the purchase. Not repairable, I tried to find out what the policy was as far as warranty, but this shop was unwilling to work with me. I unfortunately did not have the receipt on me, but I provided purchase information, name, date, and amount of purchase. They claim nothing was showing up in their computer and could not answer me if the tire was covered or not, rushing me through with a long line forming behind me at the counter.
Nonetheless, I had no choice but to pay for a replacement tire, ($225) since no information was available to me on any type of warranty. I can only speak for myself, but clearly customers at the shop were miserable, having to deal with long wait time and inconsistencies. One customer was livid as they did repairs to the wrong tire on her car! To top it all off, after I left them, got home to retrieve something from the trunk of the car and saw that they had not properly replaced the spare that my car came in on. They just plopped it in the back of the car. I had to return for them to return the spare to its properly secured position. It was tough having to deal with a busted tire on the highway, and they unfortunately didn't make it any easier. Please save all receipts, ask questions, make sure your purchase and conditions/benefits/restrictions/warranties are clear.

Tires are reasonable, Front desk very helpful and professional. The wait time is way too long. Over 3 hours to install 2 tires and I had an appointment. They did apologize for the long wait. Nico was very helpful and respectful. As soon as I walked in he stated, "I will be right with you." As he finished with the other customer I was helped. I would recommend Town Fair Tire. I Have to say that my appointment was at 9:00 am and my car was taken in at 10:45. It was completed nearly at noon. They may need to hire more tire technicians.

Bought 4 tires for my Highlander 13 days ago. Since I installed and aligned the tires make a lot noise, specially in high speed. Created a case with Yokohama manufacturer and I am trying contact Town Fair Tires to fix the problem. A lot noise and vibration!!!! Do not buy these tires! Do not buy!!!!

Purchased tires by going online to get information then spoke to Bill one of the managers. Been going to Town Fair Tire in Warwick RI for many years. Best prices and service always buy road hazard for your tires for peace of mind. It’s worth the extra Pennies. They keep to their schedule and guarantee their tires and workmanship. As I stated Bill one of the managers was so helpful! They're not high pressure because they give you the best deal in the state. Many tire places do not offer road hazard so be aware of this. Rhode Island has lousy roads and are working on them constantly. Leaving debris which ruins your tires.

I have been Coming to Town Fair Tire for no less than 10 years and the service and the quality of the service never changes! They are always courteous, very friendly and absolutely well versed in the product that they sell. You never feel any sales pressure and that's huge! I was in there today and You observe how they treat all the customers and they treat everybody with respect and concern. The store I was at was Salem New Hampshire on route 28 North. Great job guys, keep up the good work and I'll continue sending people to you!

I recently on September 11, 2023 visited a Town Fair Tire located at 1414 Washington Street, Hanover MA 02339. As I walked in the door as the first customer at 0758 I was greeted by three individuals whom avoided eye contact with myself and off the bat made me feel like I was an inconvenience... so I stood and patiently awaited until the awkward pause was then interrupted by one of the men stating “Hi, do you have an appointment this morning.” I then explained how I just worked down the street since 3 pm the previous day (total of 17 hours) and I did not have an appointment. I was exhausted and when I went to my car to leave work… one of the tires I had recently purchased would not hold air (purchased two sets of four tires within the last year).
My car barely made it to the store I explained and I have at least an hour drive home. He took my info and stated, “Ya well the tire you have we don’t have here so you gotta be patient and sit and wait until we can slap it on.” I said, “Ok that’s fine... I don’t have anyone to drive me and I need my car so I’ll wait.” I waited in the front of the store seating area and heard the guy state “Not one appointment showed up this morning...” and then more customers without appointments flooded in. Buying four new sets of tires.
Waiting briefly where I was and I believe three other customers left before my car was even brought back to be taken care of. As I sat and waited patiently exhausted it was now almost 10:45 am and I had gotten there at 7:58 am once again after working 17 hours in a critical care patient care environment…. I went to the desk and asked “I am just wondering when my car will be ready since it’s almost 11 am and I have to return to work this evening for 7 pm?” The same man who just came back from walking to McDonald’s and having multiple personal phone conversations that morning stated “Listen, I said you had to wait patiently and I can’t give you a time because you didn’t have an appointment.”
I then bit my tongue and sat back down to wait… I see my car at 11:15 am then be driven to the back of the store and I was just blown away it hadn’t even been touched or looked at for that matter. 1 p.m. rolls around and my name's finally called. I go to the register and the man ringing me out says he can’t fix an item added to my bill since I should only be paying for labor.
I stood there and waited until he could talk to at least two other people to figure it out and then pay the approx 60 something bill at that time…. I left and got home around 3:30pm… as I leave to go to work on 2 hours if that... I start my car… as I am leaving it flags a warning sign I’ve never seen “Stop maintenance required, tire levels dangerously low.” I cautiously drive to the gas station down the street as I pay for air… I realize the new tire valves I just purchased were stolen off my car I just put on which had me fuming at that point. Really. Like $10 dollar Lexus tire valve covers? You're going to steal from someone that you gave service to?
I know it was the store mechanics at the Town Fair Tire because I had purchased them myself that week with some birthday money I received and I like to upgrade little things on my car when possible. I then proceed to add air to each tire…. The tire I had the store switch out was not filled at maintenance level …. Nor was any other tire.
I then get back in my car to see now two tires aren’t holding air and the weather of down pouring rain was scary enough…. I hydroplaned and found myself having to call a tow truck to safely tow my car back home (AAA) then proceeded to have to call out of work for the night on little sleep due to this horrible experience with this store. You literally stole from a nurse who barely sleeps because she is working to help care for the sick elderly? How low can you be to steal literally tire valve caps. Mind you put my safety in jeopardy and not even have a care in the world?! I will be posting this review on every forum because I believe in the public being fully aware of how poorly your company values safety and the well-being of your customers.
The mechanics at Hanover Town Fair Tire should ultimately be ashamed of the horrendous customer service provided and hands down be reprimanded if not fired for not only stealing from a customer in general but not checking the tires' air (all four) and or balancing prior to clearing my car to be “taken care of” to safely drive moving forward.
I have never in my life had such below-the-barrel service in my life nor do I usually have any time to find to complain… given the circumstances I will like I said make note to notify the general public in all sleep deprivation I am at the moment…. Because it is worth the time to tell people to NOT GO TO TOWN FAIR TIRE IF YOU WANT SAFE, RELIABLE TIRE SERVICE. To quote from their website, “For more than 55 years we at Town Fair Tire have been serving the community by offering the safest and longest-wearing tires at the guaranteed lowest prices. We constantly strive to meet our personal goal of delivering top-notch customer service.”
Well, that was most definitely not my experience whatsoever…. I am still beyond blown away and disgusted by this horrible service and company, to say the least. Please reconsider getting tires and even stepping foot into this store if you care about your safety as well as any other person in your life. These people are rude, condescending… and will steal most likely more than just tire valve covers from you. Pretty sad to see this type of treatment for customer service in today's world.

Unfortunately ended up at the Hyannis location for a couple front tires Saturday afternoon. Woke Sunday morning only to find one was leaking. Stopped in on Tuesday figuring they would take care of it. Was told I needed an appointment. An appointment for a leaking tire they installed. Got to be kidding! Got the usual ** about the labor shortage etc. Finally walked in disgust. Any other tire place would at least looked at it. Never again.

Over 1 hour of my time while the Hyannis manager messed around with my tires on the car telling me what I need. I told him what I wanted....just got ignored. When I told him I wanted the "FREE" front end alignment he said they could only do a 4 Wheel alignment on this car and it's not free. What a run around by a bunch of jokers. I ended up getting 4 tires online shipped to the location I wanted CHEAPER than Town Fair. When I sent a message to Town Fair Tires the VP of the company responded by calling me an internet assassin!!?? Again....DO NOT BUY INTO THE ADS... They LIE!! Don't waste your time or money. There are plenty of HONEST tire services out there that will treat you right for an HONEST PRICE.

The telephone scheduler mistakenly listed my appointment as "drop off vehicle all day". I found this out when I arrived at Town Fair in Hyannis. I needed a new set of 4 tires, but the all day requirement was impossible for me. Eric stepped up and said he would make every effort to make things work for me. Within an hour, I had a new set of tires and was on my way. Such customer service makes it easier to spend over $1000 on tires and feel good about it.

Went to have a flat fixed. Ethan (GM) recommended alignment and 4 tire balance. He then called and told me the tire had to be replaced, I used the TownFairTire price beater online tool, received a confirmed price 24 hrs later, and ordered the tires. I went to have the tires installed and Ethan (GM) refused to honor the confirmed order price offered by admin@townfaire.com. I asked for a refund on the alignment and balance that was never done. He refused that too. TOTALLY dishonest. NEVER go here. Other Town Fair Tire shops may be better.

Totally annoyed! I had a tire replaced at Town Fair Tire in Danvers. I picked up my car and my dashboard is lit up like a Christmas tree! Tire sensor light, abs light, traction light, power steering light, engine light, and TPMS warning. My response from Town Fair was “You’ll need to take it to a mechanic. It wasn’t anything we could have done”.

They told me it would take about 2 hours for my service. I was there 4 1/2 hours. I noticed my car in the lot and asked if the keys were in it. She said they hadn't had a chance to call me and she would be right with me. She finished waiting on another customer and proceeded to bring a document into the garage. I said "Hello. Remember me." She said, "I didn't forget you. I will be right with you." I said, "I have been here 4 1/2 hours. Don't I get any priority." She ignored me and continued doing what she was doing.

Updated on 08/05/2023: Nov of 2022 I sent in a review to your company and we are now in August of 2023. Sad to say, no one has ever contacted me to make an attempt to resolve this issue. I’ve brought back the car, rebalanced, moved the tires around and nothing. Worthless tires. My account is paid in full. Don’t even want to use their services anymore. Town Fair Tire is useless. It’s not about customer service anymore more, it’s about the profit line.
Original Review: This is the second time I’ve purchased tires from the Wallingford shop and on both occasions the tires are not balanced correctly. Two separate vehicles, two totally different sets of tires and both vehicles ended up shaking. My 2019 Elantra just installed new brakes, new tires, new rotors and had to bring it back. And the car still had a shake on the right side. So disgusted.

Town Fair Tire at 67 Newtown Road Danbury Ct is a safety hazard. They are negligent and careless with your vehicle and your safety. They should be shut down before they kill somebody. The first time they failed to find a nail in my tire that was flat when I had the vehicle towed there. Unbelievably they sent me away twice again claiming it was OK. A competitor immediately found the leak and repaired the tire. The second time I should never have gone back. I purchase a new tire at a rip off price. When they claimed I didn’t have road hazard warranty which was a lie. The tire went flat overnight. I took it to a competitor who found Town Fair put in a faulty valve stem. God forbid I’d driven a long distance at a high speed thinking I had a good new tire and my other tires checked. And they forgot to put back the caps as well. Flunked the basics. Don’t let these careless incompetent goons touch your vehicle - they are an accident begging to happen.

Went to this place to get two new tires. During the following month I had a low air pressure sign popped up on my dashboard multiple times. I went back to that place and they fixed it saying the problem was a tire pressure cap and it’s fixed. I have no idea about cars and believed them. A few days later I moved out of state and got the low air pressure sign again while driving on a highway. And AGAIN it was both new tires that have low pressures. AND one of the tires didn’t even have a cap on when I went to put some air in. This is a scam place. They have no idea what they are doing. Go to a trustworthy place where mechanics know what they are doing. I’ll never go back there when back in MA as well as won’t recommend them to anyone. Don’t waste your money and time on them.

I have again purchased a new set of Continental True Contact Tour tires for my 2014 Honda Odyssey at Town Fair, 605 Amherst Street, North Nashua, NH. Again, I am pleased with the staff and service here. I stopped by yesterday to set up an appointment for today. They had the tires waiting for me today, installed them, and had me out the door in an hour. I am pleased with the price and the service. The manager, C.J., along with Chris, Anthony, and Nick are all very fine staff. No hassle.
When I needed new sensors in my wheels a few months ago I discovered that Town Fair installed them. Again, C.J., set up an appointment for me and had the new sensors installed in an hour. They saved me $400.00 compared to what the Honda dealer would have charged, and the dealer didn't have them in stock. Town Fair is my only tire dealer because of their service, prices, how they rotate my tires for free (everyone else charges me $25.00), and try to repair my tires if there is a leak. Keep up the good work! In appreciation!

A HUGE thank you to Kevin and Ray at the Cranston location. They fit me in and helped with my crisis the Woonsocket town fair location left me in. They also apologized a million times for things that weren't their mistake and rectified the situation for me. The Woonsocket location on the other hand, HORRIBLE. I had an appointment for 8:30, a donut was on my car with the actual tire in the trunk, with the warranty I came to have them check the flat in the trunk and the slow leak in the front, I sat for TWO HOURS, for what I thought they had "fixed".
After I left no longer than 10 minutes up the highway, MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT came BACK on. Took me over an hour to get them back on the phone and then proceeded to tell me they didn't have time for me to come back to see Kevin at the Cranston store, thank goodness I did! The Woonsocket store neglected to see the GIANT nail in my flat tire and neglected to fix the slow leak in the front. I was told I was lucky to have made it from Woonsocket to work in Cranston like this! Wondering why I sat for TWO HOURS at the Woonsocket store for them to do NOTHING. So again THANK YOU Cranston location (Kevin). Even with 1 mechanic due to covid you guys fit me in and fixed BOTH of my problems.
