I had previously pledge my repeat business but after my last experience they lost me ... Skipped two vital steps in a simple tire rotation... Didnt relearn my TPMS location& sent me down the road with 80psi in my front tires and 60 in my rears .. could have killed me

I came in as a new customer. The issue I had with my car is that it was overheating. Ive had my coolant flushed 2 days prior before coming in to Goodyear.They ran a full diagnostic test. Nothing was found. No coolant leaks anywhere.The only thing they claimed they did was burp the coolant at 4000 rpms. The original diagnostic price was 90$ . But the Good year employee charged me 50$. Ok, cool. I even gave him a pretty decent tip for the quick service. I leave the shop. Then 5 minutes later my car is still overheating. I took the vehicle right back up there. Explained to them whats going on. They wanted to keep the car to examine the issue again. I dropped the the car right when the opened the next morning. They kept the car for about 5-7 hours. Then they said my coolant cap wasnt tightened enough. So they replaced it with a new one. I was charged about 35$. They said they test drove the car and it didnt over heat any. I was very excited about that.Within 15 minutes of me leaving the shop once again my car still overheated. Once again the problem still not fixed. Im having patience with them. I just want my car fixed. I brought it back up there. The mechanics came out from the back and told me they dont know what the issues is. They told my to put some coolant flush in the vehicle , drive for a couple of days. Then bring the car in for a flush. They told me 50$ for diagnosis. I brought the car back in for the third time. They allegedly said they test drove the car on the streets and on highway. THEY TOLD ME, THE CAR NEVER OVERHEATED, ONCE AGAIN. I said well this gotta be it right here. I HAD faith that they fixed my car. I pulled out of the the parking lot. MY CAR OVERHEATED AGAIN!!!. Within 15 minutes of myself leaving. I called them and told them about the issue. They said they dont know once again what it could be. I was even on the phone with them as my car was overheating. They can hear the dings from my car in the background on the phone. The guy at Good year said bring it back to be looked at I DONE MISSED SOO MANY DAYS OF WORK!!! I HAVE NOT BROUGHT IT BACK UP THERE.AFTER3 TIMES THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED THE ISSUE TO THIS VERY DAY. THEY WILL KEEP TYING TO SQUEEZE MORE AND MORE MONEY OUT YOU. 🔥🔥 THE MOST HORRIBLE SERVICE EVER. ITS A DAMN MICKEYMOUSE OPERATION IN THERE. DO NOT GO TO GOODYEAR IN BEXLEY ON MAIN ST. MY CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING WORSE SINCE I TOOK IT UPTHERE!!😡😡

This place is a full service shop and does all repairs to any and all types of vehicles. Motorcycle,RV,cars, trucks,diesel, doesnt matter the type just bring it in and they will get it fixed right the first time. They have prices that cant be beat. So if youre in Columbus or surrounding areas this should be your #1 first choice for any and all auto repairs.... Not sure but pretty sure they could fix a boat motor too lol their seriously that good.

Great experience taking my car to Bowman Tire and Repair. As someone who doesnt know a lot about cars, I find it hard to find somewhere honest where I dont have to worry about being taken advantage of. I brought my car in with a flat tire, and they were able to patch it instead of replacing the tire, as I was told somewhere else, which saved me a ton of money! I wont be bringing my car anywhere else for tire needs in the future. Thank you!

The service was great and the people was nice. All other places was booked and had me waiting over two to four hours. My sister told me about this place where she goes for all of her service needs. I went in and they assessed my vehicle needs, repaired and I was out in 45 minutes. When your dealership is booked, this the next best place to have your car repaired.

I had an great experience here at Bowman. I came up there to buy a new tire to replace my flat tire from the day before. Unfortunately, upon request they didn’t have the exact tire I wanted in stock. But with a quick call they had the tire expedited to the store just in a couple of hours. Also, the manager discovered I had some road hazard insurance I purchased with my original tires that I didn’t realize I had, thus, saving me some money out of pocket.

Had a puncture in my tire and needed a fix. Really didnt want to have to buy a whole new tire for such a small hole. Called a ton of places in town and Bowman was not only the friendliest but were among the cheapest AND were willing to get me in quickly. Everyone else I called wasnt able to get to me for at minimum 3 days.Service was quick enough, they were pretty busy when I got there, but they had the Buckeyes game on and theres free WiFi. Its 100% a locally owned place and you can really tell. I will be returning here in the future.

Appointment to get Back brakes rotors and pads on my 2010 Kia Forte. I was told 1 1/2 hours it has taken them 3 1/2 hours. They order wrong rotors had to wait on them then the also ordered wrong pads. Never came to tell me as I’m waiting they wait until 2 1/2 hours to tell me he ordered wrong parts. Then they had taken the front brake off and could not get it back on correctly. Never will I come back here poor customer service and now I’m not really trusting their work. I will be having someone else look at them. Goodyear on Main Street in Bexley

I was on my way to a relaxation appointment when I hit a pothole and busted my tire. I was pretty flustered after having a bad couple of days, but the managers here were very nice and quickly got me in and out giving me multiple options to choose from. Great guys! Check them out.

Went in for an alignment after doing my own outer tie rod with a friend, and just had brakes replaced myself. They told me the brakes were needing to be replaced, as were the rotors, and that I needed inner and outer tie rods. I just replaced the other outer tie rod, mechanic friends said inners were fine as were the brakes and rotors. They refused to do the alignment citing issues with the tie rods, and had the audacity to charge me 1/2 hour of work for nothing to try and get me to replace the tie rods. Took it to somewhere else for an alignment and its all fine. Go somewhere else they will try to rip you off, cant believe they charged a half hour for doing nothing

I had them install 4 tires. They never removed the old wheel weights nor balanced my tires. They did not service my TPMS sensors, nor reteach the new locations. They bent a pinch weld underneath my vehicle. They left a huge dirt smudge on my vehicles light tan interior roof liner. Witnessed them overselling unneeded service to other customers that were less than informed about their issues. Please spend your hard earned money elsewhere. I wish I had.

Good Year tire of Bexley likes to take advantage of their customers. They break things and then charge YOU to fix it. They are very rude with their customer service. To me this a classic case of a company trying gauge their customers for money by breaking it more and then having the customers pay for their mistakes. I wish you could put 0 stars. Would not recommend anyone here. If you do come you should bring your lawyer.

Took my Land Rover to bowman Goodyear in bexley for tires, brakes and wanted them to look at the exhaust because there was a leak somewhere. They put new tires and breaks on with no problem but when they went to look at the exhaust they ended up breaking a bolt on the manifold. When I went to pick it up they specifically told me it that they didn’t break anything but that the exhaust was louder now. After driving it home and realizing just how loud it was (like a motorcycle) I took it back to them to see what was up. They finally admitted that they broke a bolt and told me that they had ordered a new one and would have it fixed in a few days. Then a couple of hours later they called to tell me that they won’t fix it because it would require five hours of labor to drill out the broken bolt. They said if I wanted it fixed it would cost me $482 for the five hours of labor(to fix the bolt they broke). In fairness to them, I’m sure the bolts were old and rusty and had they been straight with me from the beginning(or just met me halfway with the labor) it would have been fine, but after lying about the broken bolt and then telling me they are gonna fix it and then retracting the offer to fix it I’m very unhappy with this store and wish I had just gone somewhere else.

I was looking for a Goodyear Tire store near where I work for a set of new tires. I called Bowmans on E. Main St. in Bexley, and am SO happy I did!Immediately, Mark greeted me on the phone with a friendly helpful attitude. He didnt just quote me a price for 4 tires, he genuinly seemed interested in helping me and making me his customer. He gathered some personal information and called me by my first name. He ordered my tires even though I hadnt committed to an appointment. He said he did it so hed have them on hand for when I decided! Later the same day, he called me back to check if I had decided when to bring it in. I was pleasantly surprised with the call back.Ultimately, I decided to come to this location because of the outstanding customer service. Mark will take care of you.I am a strictly Goodyear tire customer. The best place to but Goodyear tires is at an actual Goodyear store. Trust me, Ive done the reasearch.

I was recently in there for a tire rotation and brakes replacement. I decided not to get brakes and rotors because of the price. When I got home, my locking lug nut fell off of one of my tires. Now Im replacing my brakes myself and one of the screw heads on my rotors has been snapped off. Its freshly done because there is no rust. I took it in yesterday and Im doing my brakes today. You shouldnt have even touched my brakes and rotors until I agreed to the price. Plus the other screw on the rotor is stripped out, also fresh/ not rusted. Now I have to go out of my way because I cant get the screw out. Thanks...

I would NEVER recommend this good year i love the one downtown! But this one when i went in for just my brake pads told me i needed three more things that would add up to 600$ i got approved for the 100 day pay plan. But i left because i knew it was wrong i havent drove my car since i heard the noise. I got it done by a friend the ONLY thing that needed replaced were my brake pads less than $40 but goodyear tried to charge me $600 bc i didnt know much about my car! They also told me my brake fluid was so black and gross and that it should be clear when we checked it it was almost light as tea. They lied snd exaggerated everything on my car! I would recommend getting a diagnosis before coming here! Plus two people while i was there brought there car back for more problems that showed up after they left! Which would explain why my car felt even worse when i left! I think they are doing things to make you spend more money !The reason why they are always empty and not busy is bc you cant trust them ! Go to mr tire who is right across the street they are way better thats y they are always busy and the prices are great! Thats where my appointment was originally scheduled for but they were busy. Also two of my lug nuts were rounded off and put back on the car which made it very hard for us to take off about 10min for both when it wasnt that way when we arrived.(read the responce this is not at all how it was explained to me and thungs were exaggerated my rotor was perfectly fine i looked when it was taken off and was told i could possibly pay $600 so the things i said that were told to me were correct as stated)

It was the day before thanksgiving and one of my brand new tires had a nail in it and we were told it was unrepairable. I was in a panic trying to get a tire that matched the ones I had prior to thanksgiving. I called GY Bexley, they ordered my tire, got it delivered to the store and told me I would have it before I left work on Wednesday. They called me as said they were able to fix the nail and I only had to pay $30 instead of $200 for my new tire. Obviously, I know nothing about cars and they could’ve easily sold me the new tire. The HONESTY of this GY will make me a client for life. Thanks GY BExley.

Awful customer service. I scheduled a $39.99 oil change and when I picked up my car they told me it was $69.99. They never called to discuss the price change and made up a story that this what my car required. Afterwards I called the dealer and their theory is incorrect. I called corporate to discuss and they had the same person call me back and he was nasty the second time around to. Dont go here you will not be satisfied.
