Finlayson Tire LTD.

The mechanic was very rude, didn't even return the greeting Good Morning ". Looked like he was not interested in doing any work. I paid $ 54 for a punture fix and it took them 1 hour. When I went to ask if it's ready

My go-to for wheel and tire installations. Booked me in for the same day I called. Fair prices and good work

Went for a spring tire change. Charged $ 50 to change tire on rims. The guy changed the wheel nuts for another $60. without asking me ( I had the spare nuts for the wheel). and ended up paying around $125 for a tire change on rims. Partly my mistake, should have asked for a quote before hand. Lesson learnt.

Wouldn’t come here again. No masks being worn, terrible customer service. Why say I have a one year warranty if you’re going to charge to check the issues with your work? Do better. 1 star and I’ll stick with Canadian Tire who actually stands behind the job they do.

Had a bad experience with Paul over a safety being done without the work being done to get a safety.. I bought a car took it to him to find out what it needed for a safety !! He did a safety without my permission and of course the car would fail. I already knew it needed work. Had to pay for the work that was done and a safety i did not ask for.. I was not getting the safety done there, just the work. Cheaper places in town to get a safety done. Auto pits it went too. Love them and their prices. Not looking to gain a buck. They are honest and very cheap. Fantastic work. I believe Finlayson tire owner' Paul we some how misunderstood one another perhaps, either way was not happy how it all went down. I didn't even need all the work they said to get a safety done. Saved 500.00 bucks taking it to Auto pits.. Js. Many years ago like 20, we had very good experiences with this company just not as off late. They are good at their work, i guess. That day... Bad vibes in the air..

Thanks again, Paul to the rescue. This time I needed a special lug nut socket for my wife’s car that has custom rims to which I busted the socket putting on her winters. This socket isn’t the kind you can pick up anywhere, as I found after going to several parts places. Dropped in by chance to see Paul and problem solved and tonight the job got completed. I live way out in Wainfleet now but I would easily drive down when I need tires or work done to Finlayson because they have never let me down.

Updated Oct 5 2018 for clarification.I will try them for a quote on winter tires next week. I'll update my review accordingly.I've bought tires and wheels from them and they were fine but the attitude of the owner doesn't inspire confidence. This was 2010.More recent 2018: I was going to get an item welded, I'm also looking for new wheels and tires and he just doesn't inspire confidence, so I've decided on any other place.The prices are average and I want to support a local shop but the personality, it just turns me off this place.Bertie Tire in Stevensville and Niagara Battery and Tire in Niagara Falls, Welland and St Catharines would be my first suggestions.The customer service at any one of those other shops is dramatically better and personable.Sorry. Just honest and sorry I can't recommend this place. I honestly wish I could.Eight years later and I've bought at least 30 full sets of tires and wheels for 8 cars, track wheels/tires, summer wheels/tires, winter wheels/tires, show car specific wheels/tires and more.

Great experience dealing with Finlayson Tire. Owner Paul was very knowledgeable and a quality repair job was completed in a timely manner. Would highly recommend this shop for all people who are looking for honest, quality repairs.Thanks for everything!

I blew a tire today on the way to work. Staff was very friendly and got me in quickly and back on the road.

Avoid at all costs. Terrible mechaincs. The owner is a crook. Did work without authorization. Didnt diagnose anything properly. Quoted 3x as much as my mechanic, only reason i went through this clown is because my warranty company gave me 2 options, this idiot being one of them. STAY AWAY
