- Discount Tire
(7900 N Lindbergh Blvd Hazelwood, MO 63042 – discounttire.com)
“Long story short. New tires were installed at another location. Went in for an alignment. The work was completed. I left, but it was still pulling to the right. I returned, and they made an adjustment, only for the pulling to continue. I went back a 3rd time, and the manager was getting ready to rotate all tires to ensure it wasn’t the tires. One of the techs noticed that one tire seemed to look off. They checked the tire pressure to find out it was overinflated by 30psi. No amount of adjustments would have corrected the pulling. They deflated the tire to the correct psi, and I was set. Everyone there was helpful and calm despite me being frustrated. The over inflation was NOT caused by them, but they caught it and adjusted it. I will definitely use this location from now on. Thank you to everyone who helped out.” – Ruthie B. on Yelp - Big Bend Automotive
(2804 S Big Bend Blvd Maplewood, MO 63143 – bigbendautomotive.com)
“This is hands down the best auto shop I’ve ever used. Just moved here from Milwaukee and needed to comply with MO safety check and emissions – quick and easy. The guys here were friendly, professional and super helpful with all that needed to be done in order to pass MO laws.” – Nel H. on Yelp - Zisser Tire & Auto Service
(9990 W Florissant Ave Saint Louis, MO 63136 – zissertire.com)
“Recently had my girlfriend’s car here for repairs. Was very pleased with the pricing compared to dealer pricing. Top-notch people working here. Dennis Ferguson is absolutely an asset to your operation. Will return whenever I need more service and soon for tires.” – Bob D. on Yelp - Greg’s Auto Service And Repair
(11264 Midland Blvd Saint Louis, MO 63114 – gregsautoservicestl.com)
“This is the most honest mechanic you will ever meet. They will not do work unless you need it. I had my brakes checked. He came back and said that I had at least 1500 more miles on my brakes. I waited, came back 1500 miles later, and received a fair price. However, two days later my car started making a horrible noise. They had me bring it back immediately. Found it was a failed part and replaced it again under warranty at no charge. I had no way of knowing if this was a different problem but fortunately, I had an honest mechanic who takes care of his customers.” – Roberta H. on Yelp - Russ’ Auto Service Station
(2800 Sidney St Saint Louis, MO 63104)
“Had an oil leak on a car I had recently bought for my granddaughter. The dealer I bought from, Auffenburg in Belleville, ghosted me. I dropped it at Russ’s, and he called me later to say it was just a loose oil filter. He begrudgingly charged me $20! Have had cars inspected there as well, always fast service. Thanks!” – Scott P. on Yelp - Fred’s South County Auto Repair
(9201 Gravois Rd Saint Louis, MO 63123 – fredssouthcounty.com)
“I’ve known Todd of Fred’s South County my whole life and always recommend friends and family to him. We’ve heard nothing but positive things about the quality and cost of his work. We’ve sent plenty of challenges his way, and we always get back a like-new vehicle. Very strongly recommend!” – Andrew B. on Yelp - Bob’s 66 Service and U-Haul
(11496 Dorsett Rd Maryland Heights, MO 63043 – bobs66autorepair.com)

“I brought my car in to get my carpet shampooed and it came back spotless! Highly recommend! I’m coming back to get more done! Also reasonably priced too!” – Trent L. on Yelp - Miller Brothers Auto Service
(7170 Vernon Ave Saint Louis, MO 63130 – millerbrothersautoservice.com)
“I have been using them for over 20 years and found them highly competent, helpful and scrupulously honest.” – Wylie W. on Yelp - Muggle Automotive
(1862 Scherer Pkwy Saint Charles, MO 63303 – muggleautomotive.com)
“My family has been going to Muggle and Jerry for the past 12 years. He’s handled my parents’ two cars and all of my five siblings’ cars, as well. The customer service is impeccable, the quality and value is always top-notch, and they are just truly lovely human beings to work with. It’s always a “yes,” and if it can’t be a “yes,” it’s a “let me find that out for you.” I can’t say enough good things about this business and these humans. I trust them with anything and everything and never have to second guess their expertise, pricing, or suggestions. Highly, highly recommend.” – Madeleine Q. on Yelp
