Brilliant Tire Corp.

I love Brilliant Tire. Great people, family owned business, honest and funny! I have used this business for years and have always been pleased with their work and products. As a woman it can be tricky to go to a garage and get treated right. Mr. Brilliant is always welcoming, respectful, and honest.

Unbelievably good .
These guys are the most honest, straightforward, reasonably priced auto mechanics I have known in my life thus far!
Today I went by and they literally saved my life.
They discovered a repair that was necessary and would have caused a major car accident, and possibly much more!
I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of an HONEST, straightforward affordable, fair mechanic can’t say enough about them.

UPDATE April 2013: I took my car to another shop (Central Ave Garage in Milton, they are awesome!) to get the vibrating fixed. Eddie, the shop owner, re-​balanced the tires and told me Brilliant majorly screwed them up. That still didn’t fix the vibration, so he ended up having to switch the front and back tires because the front ones (latest ones from Brilliant) are low quality. So basically I paid $ 400 for crappy tires that I can only have on the back of my car, caused my car to vibrate, and will wear out much faster since I can’t rotate them because the car will shake again. Bottom line: DO NOT GO TO BRILLIANT TIRE!!!
This used to be my go-​to place, but I won’t be back. I’ve been here for inspection stickers without a problem, but the last two times I’ve been I feel like I’m getting ripped off.
I brought my car in last December (2011) for a tire rotation, and was told I needed two new tires because they were bald. Ok, fine. I understand tires wear down and need to be replaced. A year later, this past December (2012), I brought it in again to get a valve stem fixed, and was told I needed three new tires, the two that weren’t changed last time, plus one that was — because they were all bald. When I said I just had two new tires put on, including the one he wanted to change, and had put less than 1,000 miles on the car since then (I don’t drive much), the story changed. The person I was speaking with kind of stammered and said the tire had a bubble, and that’s not covered under the warranty, so he couldn’t get me a discount on a replacement. Stupidly, I agreed to just get everything done — which cost me about $ 400.
Even after that I probably still would have gone back, except when I picked up the car and drove it on the highway, where I found the steering wheel was vibrating like it never had before. I called them immediately to ask what was going on — I’d expect that they could do the job right for $ 400. They took it back and re-​balanced the tires, and while the vibrating is better, it’s still there. I’m definitely done going back there as I don’t like being taken advantage of. Next!

WARNING! They mess with your car!
I brought my car in on a Friday to get the REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE repaired. When I picked my car up, the radio and navigation system were asking for a password to get back into them. When I asked the person behind the counter what happened, he said that my «battery must’ve died». I told him that my battery was fine and there was no reason it would’ve died. He told me there was nothing he could do. He said I would have to take the car to the dealership to get a password. Eventually I was able to call the dealership to get the password.
On Saturday I go to warm my car up, and my AUTOMATIC STARTER ISN’T WORKING. And they’re closed, so I have to wait until Monday to see what possessed them to go under my hood and mess with my battery and automatic starter when all I needed was a tire on the opposite side of the car repaired!
DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!! You’ll end up leaving with more problems then you came in with!

Went there today for my free tire rotation after having been to my own mechanic earlier. When rotation was done I was informed that the ball joints had to be replaced asap. When I informed them that I had already seen another mechanic today the story changed. Don’t like being taken advantage of.

I have been here twice. Once for an inspection and once for a used tire. The inspection couldn’t have been quicker or more friendly. I got a flat tire just before a big snow storm and called to see if they had my size and, luckily, they did. I got there around 10 on a snowy Saturday morning and they had the balanced wheel back on the car, donut back in the trunk, and my keys back in my hand before 10:30. All for 50 bucks. I cant be sure they are always as fast as my experience tells me, but they certainly do their best to get you in and out. I would absolutely recommend them for used tires and inspections.

Despite this place being a tire shop, I went to get my emissions done and was in and out in about 20 minutes. Nice guys and no hassle.
