Friendly, quick, priced right. I've bought two sets of tires there, would buy more when the time comes. Oil changes are quick and fair priced as well.

I have been going to Youngstedts since 1979. They are always friendly and always treated me well. Any problem I have had they properly diagnosed it and repaired it. If there was ever a problem they took care of it no question asked. I also buy all my tire from Youngstedts and have never had a problem. Youngstedts is a great place to go and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Thank you for fixing my tire and showing me what was causing the issue! I appreciate that you even finished with my car earlier than promised!

This is the rudest company I have dealt with in my life. Their car washes are defective and routinely damage cars. The management does not own up to the issue and deflects it constantly. Customers beware!

Trying to soak up the last waning days of warm weather, I have put some miles on my vehicle, along with an extra coat of road dirt. Went by Youngstedts to have my vehicle cleaned. I went through the drive through and paid 25.00 for the platinum service. What a complete waste of money. Even though they provide hand drying service at the very end, my windows and side mirrors were blurry mess. Bug spots still stuck on windshield.
The young man who was supposed to hand towel dry the side mirrors completely ignored me, while looking at his phone. Could have went through local gas station and paid half the price and received much better service. Do yourself a favor - treat yourself to your favorite beverage with the money you spend by not going to this overpriced so called car cleaner.

I have been to Youngstedts for 3 sevices at 3 of their locations. Recently they squeezed me in on short notice when my daughters tire picked up a nail and had her baby with her. Every experience I had I was treated more than fairly for price, very professionally, and courteously. I highly recommend Youngstedts Service: Tires
