I had my car serviced today. I was very surprised how friendly and knowledgeable the person was who took my intake info when I brought my care in this A.M. 1-24-22. When it was completed they took care of all my concerns and explained the problems with the vehicle. I would certainly recommend them. They are very professional and would recommend them to my friends at work and family members.

Found Modern Tire when I had popped a tire while visiting West Hartford during the holidays. They were kind enough to stay open late to fix my car so I could get home to New York that night. Extremely friendly, helpful and capable team. Highly recommend for all auto needs! Service: Tires
