Roger’s Tires & Front End Serv

What an excellent crew! Stopped by because I had been told by a different mechanic that I needed two new tires — Dave helped me right away and suggested I get all 4 tires new due to the winter snow approaching, but also gave me an estimate of how much longer I could probably wait before getting the second 2 tires replaced. Didn’t pressure me into buying all 4, but gave me both prices and told me a bit about the warranty on certain tires. I felt very informed and encouraged as I don’t know much about cars and such, yet felt like with what he told me I was able to make my own decision confidently. Came back a few weeks later for a noise on my car, Dave immediately took it out for a drive and recognized what it was, when I’ve taken it to multiple mechanics and car-​savvy friends in the past, with no luck of figuring out the issue. They looked under my car and saw what was making the noise, bent it into the right place, and I was all set within minutes. I am so grateful to have a mechanic I feel is honest and trustworthy, and all the members of the team at Roger’s are so kind and pleasant. Highly recommend!!!

Everyone who works here is genuine, kind and honest. Much like the other reviewers say, these guys don’t mess with you by overcharging and overselling. Prices are reasonable and you truly feel like you’re dealing with a solid family owned business. I would recommend them to anyone having tire issues. These guys know their stuff!

Nothing but honest prices with no B.S. They are very helpful and understand. Awesome job.

There’s a good reason why every review is 5 stars. Nicest people you would ever want to do business with. Can’t say enough good things about Roger’s Tire. If you’re looking for an honest, hardworking, family run business to service your vehicle, this is the place.

Friendly, honest, fast service… have been there many times and will only go there.

i discovered roger’s tire shop thru Unilocal,and the really positive reviews they have received. well, here is another one.
they were awesome… diagnosed my vibration issue quickly, and informed me of the problem (out of round tires). fortunately, they have the high end road force load simulation balancer, which my former tire shop didn’t have. when I went to pick up, I was taken out to talk to dave, who took the time to show me the facts and explain what the issue was.
i had already suspected the tires may be bad, and had done some research on finding new run flat tires online, and had some in mind at
. turns out that roger’s tire shop is an authorized
installer. after discussing with dave, i decided i would order the tires from tirerack, have them shipped directly to roger’s tire, which i have done.
dave didn’t charge me for the diagnosis, given that i would be using him for the mounting/​balancing service of my new tires.
this is my new tire/​front end shop. what a pleasant customer experience. thank you dave and darlene!!!

These guys are why you go to a local shop. They treat you like part of the family. They have a great reputation so don’t be surprised at how busy they get. Plan accordingly and they will fit you right in. Honest service, honest price.

I had the opportunity to visit Roger’s Tires again today for a performance alignment on my car. I learned quite a bit just watching David work on it, carefully perfecting the setup and helping me understand how it was going. David and Darlene are such nice people to work with that, for that reason alone, I’m not sure why you would go anywhere else. On top of that, they are fair and inexpensive to a fault. They had to apologize for charging me so little today. The value is unbeatable. And they have my thanks for running such a great business.

Roger’s Tires is a dream mechanic come true: knowledgeable, kind, honest and reliable. Originally started by the late and dearly departed Roger (God rest his soul) in the early 60’s, this family business has been taken over by the son David and lost none of its appeal. This is a very straightforward shop with extensive capabilities that will treat you like a human being, act in your best interests and not try to take advantage of you.
Being in a distressed area, prices are reasonable to the local clientele. If you need to find a mechanic to fix your car or help you with something so simple as changing a wiper blade or a headlight bulb, you can bring your vehicle and they’ll do it. Even bigger or custom jobs are not beyond their scope, and you will be kept up to date every step of the way.
One interesting feature this shop has is a proper alignment rack. Tuner and track people, are you listening? This is one family owned shop that does alignments with a real mechanic with real capabilities and not just the three brain cells needed to hit buttons so the green light for the factory tolerance specs light up. Want a «performance alignment» in Rhode Island to whatever spec you want? come to Roger’s Tires. Want camber plates or aftermarket lower control arms to run insane amounts of negative camber for the track? David will hook you up. Want a proper and true alignment to factory specs, David will sit down with you, even invite you into the garage and show you every widget he turns as he adjusts the car the way you want it.
I learned that what’s crazy about alignments is that many cars are within «factory tolerances» and still don’t handle properly. Despite my car being «OK» according to the rack, the rear tires were toed in the same direction (one in, the other out) and it pulled to the right. This was because the factory tolerances have massive margins for error, with my suffering worsened handling and excessive tire wear as a consequence. Upon request, David will sit there with you and set the Toe or whatever other setting you want to infinitely minute tolerances, the way you want it. David is the kind of guy that even if paid by the insurance to only repair the alignment of one wheel, the damaged one in an accident, he will feel obliged to check all the alignments of all the tires and do right for the customer by aligning it the way it should be, in your best interest, so it runs the best for you.
David and his wife are also very knowledgeable about tires. If you want low cost rubber for your ride, cheap tires abound here. If you want something more specialized, they are an authorized tire rack dealer and you can get whatever wheels or specialized tires. I even found other customers present with old and antique tire sizes no longer in production soliciting their business here.
Most of the work David does is for pure factory stock cars, but he does have experience racing on several of the New England (and other) area tracks with more than a few supercars, think Mitsu Evo or Nissan GTR. They don’t advertise this, but David knows more than he lets on to: he’s very modest. If you like to race your car and don’t want to deal with your marque’s stealership’s prices or lack of understanding for how you want to customize it, well, take your toys to Roger’s Tires’ sandbox and be done with it.
This is an old fashioned kind of place, in a good way. Think the local merchants in Radiator Springs like Doc or Flo or Luigi in the film Cars: PEET STOP, heh heh. At Roger’s Tires things are done honestly, the right way, the personal way, in your best interests at a reasonable price. Whether you are on a budget or just a «normal person» and looking to keep your car on the road at reasonable prices, or you have a more specialized needs, Roger’s Tires has it all. And if you are the type who enjoys roads that bend with the land, not go through it, who want to run steering left to turn right on a gravel track, or partner up with a beautiful 911 with that tattoo on her butt on a canyon road in the autumn off route 66 past the wagon wheel motel, this shop is for you.

Great service. Mounted and balanced 4 new tires on my Range Rover Sport that I bought on
. Road force balanced. Ride is super smooth. Would definitely go here for my next set of tires.

Friendly, fair and up front.
I took my vehicle to Roger’s for an oil change and to inspect oil leaks that I noticed. I was kept apprised of the status of my repairs at every step and I was given a fair price for all work done.
I found my new mechanic shop.

As good as it gets as far as mechanics go. Their prices are upfront and honest as are the mechanics and owners of the shop. I generally do most of my own work but had been having a nasty front bearing issue where my bearings had to be replaced within 6 months of eachother twice (requires a press, not doable at home) — I finally figured I’d take the car to a new shop and see if that made any difference on what was costing me $ 180 a piece and lo-​and-​behold I still have 0 issues with the replacement bearing they put on my vehicle. Definitely recommended over any other mechanic I’ve ever been to

I can’t say enough good things about Dave and Darlene, the owners of Roger’s Tire. Roger is Dave’s dad and no longer runs the shop, but it is still a family business.
I recently went to Roger’s Tire because I purchased a snow tire package from Tire Rack and had them installed at another local shop, but had severe shaking at 45mph+. I ended up at Roger’s Tire because they are a Tire Rack certified installer so I wanted them to look at it since they worked closely with Tire Rack regularly.
Dave was kind, courteous, and always thoroughly explained the problem and potential solutions. (I’ve been to other shops that are testosterone-​driven and not female-​friendly, but Roger’s is super friendly!) I ended up going there twice in one week to have the tires taken off and then put back on.
In the end, Tire Rack’s solution didn’t work, but Dave figured out the problem and fixed it. I am very, very happy with the service and treatment that I received at Roger’s Tire. Darlene runs the front office and is very nice. Dave runs the shop and doesn’t mind chatting with you while he’s working on your car. I will definitely go back to them for tires, as well as oil changes, alignments, and other service. Great people, affordable and friendly service, and a family-​owned business. Two thumbs up.
