Dexter Discount Tire

These people have the best prices on tires, but they are sloppy with other routine jobs. I would not go back to them because of that issue but if you just need some good tires for the best price, they are a good place to get some. The owner made me feel that he is honest and that he was not trying to sell me more tire than I needed, unlike the other places that I got quotes from. We didn’t go with the cheapest tires but we certainly didn’t go with the super-​high-​performance ones that the other guys were trying to force on us. The problems came when I got my oil changed and asked about getting other work done there. The first time I got my oil changed, they forgot to put a sticker on the window and also did not rotate the tires. The second time, I asked them to check all of the fluids and they neglected to do so. We went back there again to ask them about our window malfunctioning (it wouldn’t stay up properly) and they told us that we needed to have the whole mechanism in the door replaced along with some other stuff and that it would cost about a thousand dollars. We decided to deal with the inconvenience for a while and I’m glad that I did. We replaced the battery about a year later and when that was done, the window began to work fine. I suspect (uneducated opinion here, of course) that it was a computer issue and it was «reset» by the death and replacement of the battery. Anyhow, that is reason enough for me to go elsewhere for my service and probably for my next set of tires, also.

We come to this part of Maine almost every year. And, we have cars that have been ravaged by the streets of New York. When we’ve gotten stuck, we get our cars into Dexter Discount Tire. They do more services than tires – and they do them well! Prices are low compared to NY, and the guys here are totally friendly and welcoming to humans. One of them is a bit afraid of dogs, and he’s told us. So, we keep our dogs away from him and head down to Noah’s Landing for a meal while our car-​of-​the-​year is repaired. Thanks, Dexter Tire, for being there when we’ve desperately needed you!
