    What Customers Love

    I experienced outstanding customer service this past week. My car was due for an inspection. This is always a daunting task because I live alone and getting rides to and from is difficult. Pantops employees made sure that was taken care of. My inspection was done in a very timely manner and the service provided was excellent. My new go to car care center. Thank you guys!

    Was instructed to drop off my car after closing and they would have it ready before 11am and I got the call before 10am to pick it up. Super pleased as my Inspection was already over a month expired. Got an oil change too. Have been using them for years and always got good results.

    I had an emergency blown out tire and was able to get my car towed just barely in time to give them the minimum amount of time to replace it before I had to catch my ride to the train station for a 2 week trip. They were understanding and as patient as possible with my stress out! They kept me informed of the progress, they had to get a tire delivered, and charged me a fair price as if it wasn’t an emergency. It was done 15 min earlier than I requested.

    Great process, great service, and a great team. Always satisfied with these folks. Couldn’t be happier with my new tires. A much better price than the Toyota dealership. Highly recommend.

    I cannot honestly say enough good things about this company! They are so friendly and professional that I just refuse to have my car serviced anywhere else and I live 60 miles away from this shop! I’m an old man and one thing I’ve learned in life if you have a good mechanic, you better stay with them! Thank you so much University tire and auto for all that you do for me man. I appreciate you guys. My car is almost antique, and look! Still runs like new!
