Kost Tire & Auto Service

Clarks Summit, PA
It is so important to note this location because we were traveling and the truck’s pull’s inner tire got flat and we couldn’t find anywhere close and drove around and just got lost! These kind folks solved our problem and saved us. They were fast!

I’m 100% comfortable bringing my car here for service, and feeling that I’m not getting oversold. I’ve been bringing our cars here for about 10 years, through a remodel and a change of managers. They’ve all been great.
Service is quick, but they have a free shuttle if you don’t want to wait. If I recall, they have at least one (or maybe more) tv’s in the waiting area, some periodicals and garage-​quality coffee. They also have several displays of cool wheels for sale that will make yours seem inferior in comparison.
If you’re up-​sold on a tire, they’ll explain the pro’s and con’s of tire life, road noise, etc. Then they’ll let you make your own decision. No pressure sales here, but the advice has been very good and I’ve been happy when I’ve upgraded, because I used to run through tires like crazy when I’d buy the cheapest that they had. Maybe the guys are on commission, but they’ve never come across like they are trying to sell me something more than I need.
I dropped my car off this weekend for an oil change and rotation. I’d had a weird, chemical-​y smell coming from my AC for quite a while and didn’t know how to fix it. They called and said I need a new cabin air filter, which is something that I never even knew existed. I gave the ok, they installed it and the problem is fixed. It smells very nice (neutral + some farts) inside of my car now.
I think they match competitor’s tire pricing, as well, but check on that.
I come back… every 5k.

Excellent work! My wife’s car not only has new tires, but now the car actually goes the direction the steering wheel indicates.

Just go here. I was going to drive into scranton bc I thought prices would be lower. Family member from town recommended this place. Holy cow — grwT service! There’s even a Starbucks right across the street. I had barely finished my coffee by the time they installed 2 tires, checked alignment and driven it around the block. No annoying upsell, just excellent, fast, friendly no-​nonsense service at a good price. Wish they were all like this!
