Always great and friendly service. Prices are always fair. Update: I just visited for the first time since the new owners took over. While the hours are not as convenient as before and I think the prices are higher, I am still very happy with the service, knowledge and friendliness they offer. I'll keep coming back to them.

I am so thankful we found this full service car maintenance, repair and tire shop. Everyone is experienced, knowledgable and super nice. I normally take car of handling repairs instead of my wife. This is the ONLY shop that I have ever trusted for my wife to go alone. Normally, I worry a shop will take advantage of her, but not this shop! These guys are the best and they are honest and kind. Joseph provides a clear explanation of what is needed and has not met a problem that he cannot fix. Ivan and his team do excellent work and are always ready to help.

Me and my girlfriend was on the way to carowinds and popped our tire 6 min away from our destination, unfortunately we didn’t have a jack 🤦🏻‍♀️ so we needed an urgent tow , Ivan came and helped us no problem! Not to mentioned we weren’t from the area so we wasn’t familiar with the highway and mislead him a few times , He definitely saved us out there and we really appreciate the help , we ended up having a stripped lug nut as well and he was able to fix and replace our tire for us ! Thanks Ivan and team! ❤️

These guys never let you down. The new owner was awesome and helped me out so much with my tire. I will definitely keep going there!

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. ANIMAL CRUELTY *** The business owner put a kitten in a trap wire cage on the side of the busy south tryon street, with a sign that said free kitten. Who knows how long the kitten was outside in the heat with cars flying past it. I rescued the kitten, it is TRAUMATIZED. But it is safe. I will be reporting this to the police.

Excellent service from start to finish! This was a 3d shop I was visiting for coming and going check engine light. I was greeted upon arrival, and the service manager was very detailed. You can tell that they care about their quality of work and service. What I really appreciated the most was that they didn't try to nickel and dime me. What they quoted me is what I paid, and it was very reasonable. My check engine light has not come back for 3600miles already. I think that's MY mechanic!

Stopped in without an appointment when the tire pressure indicator alerted. Staff members Ivan, Joseph, and Joey were courteous and very helpful. My tire was plugged where a screw was found hiding between the treads. I was back on the road in a timely fashion. Thanks guys!

The owner met me on a Sunday to help me replace an HD trailer tire. I’m back on the road very appreciative.

Best place to go before major road trip....

My son and I were in the Charlotte area and needed our car checked before proceeding on our 3 1/2 hour journey home. We called this location right before noon and was able to get a 2pm appt. Our concern was that there may be a problem with the tires and all the engine lights were lit on the dash. My son thought maybe it was the battery. The “mechanics” at this location said they were unable to do anything with the tires because we didn’t have a wheel lock key. They advised that we would only be able to get one at the Hyundai dealership. As for the dash lights they never checked the battery and chalked up the problem to maybe a rodent chewing wires. As a matter of fact, the mechanic said you have “big problems”. So my son & I left and noticed another Tire shop right down the road; Tuffy’s was the name. We stopped in without an appointment and was immediately helped. They diagnosed a bad battery , replaced it and all the dash lights went off. ( No rodent damage) After checking every tire they said they were all in good condition with the exception of 1 leaky valve which they replaced. They checked all the fluids and gave the car a clean bill of health. We paid and my son tipped the mechanic. Tuffy’s is the place to go in Charlotte for Honesty, Professionalism, and Great Customer Service.

They NEVER answer the phone!!! How do you expect to operate a business and you don’t answer the phone. SMH

Good Year tires good collections

Great customer service, able to work in my friend's car, and finish the job before the end of our work day.

Joseph was very knowledgeable and kept me updated about any issues. Even called to let me know of some things I did not have to do, which was a great and amazing experience to know he took care of me without tacking on bills that were uncalled for. I will definitely be using this place for any future projects on my vehicle. I recommend Arowinds to everyone.

Came in with a flat on run flats, the shop wasn’t allowed to make any repairs, but took their time to educate me and help me find a place to get what I needed. Genuine quality service you can trust


Mar 07, 2024

Joseph and the rest of the staff go above and beyond. It can be hard to find a reliable and trustworthy tire shop but these guys are incredible. They don't nickel and dime, and are straight forward. Thank you Arowinds Tire & Auto

I recently had a front end alignment on my sons Chevy S10 after a rebuilt is fun end and the shop was the only place that talk about what needed to be done in order to get it back in spec!!! They definitely understand and know what they are doing. I dropped my truck off that morning that afternoon they called explain what they had to do and let me know that it was ready. There prices are great as well!!! I highly recommend them, and will definitely be using them in the future.

Dale and Joseph have always taken care of us! The whole team is awesome! I’ve been going here for 15 years. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Highly, highly recommend!!

Good work, and honest


Dec 07, 2023

Had a couple car problems fixed here and I've gotta say they do good work without giving the run around. Down to earth people here and decent prices. I would recommend them.

I recently had a terrific experience with Arowind Tire & Auto that I simply have to share. I called them in need of new tires, and I was blown away by how helpful and quick they were in assisting me. When I called in the morning to inquire about the tire size I needed, they not only promptly provided the information I needed but also ordered the tires since the size tire my car uses isn’t ever in stock ANYWHERE (I called everyone in Charlotte) To my amazement, the tires arrived and were ready to be installed by 2 pm the same day – talk about efficiency! The service didn't stop there. The gentleman who helped me at Arowind Tire & Auto was incredibly helpful. While changing my tires, he took the time to inspect my car and noticed some minor repairs that could be done. What truly stood out was that he provided estimates for these repairs without any pressure to proceed, understanding that they weren't immediately necessary. And the icing on the cake was the price – it was an absolute steal for the quality of service and the tires I received. Arowind Tire & Auto not only exceeded my expectations in terms of speed and service but also in terms of value for money.


Dec 07, 2023

Joseph was amazing. Fixed my tire for free, came in pretty distressed and he squeezed me in to patch and plug flat tire. 10/10 recommend.


Dec 07, 2023

Very nice people


Dec 07, 2022

After 2 years I've had to stop coming to this shop. They've changed their state inspection policy to first come first serve, in which I am not able to be there first thing in the morning due to work. They were not willing to schedule a time slot for a state inspection and everytime I called, they would say to call back in a couple hours to see if they're free. After several days of calling every few hours and told the same thing I felt like they no longer wanted my business.


Dec 07, 2022

Excellent service! First time I had a flat tire. Called in beforehand Joe got me in and out of the shop quickly. They did a great job and even put the spare back where it belonged. Second time, tested my battery and got me a new battery in and out in a jiffy. The battery is still going strong almost 2 years later. Went back for all kinds of services since. Recommend this place to all my friends!


Dec 07, 2022

Honestly don't know how this business has a 4.6 rating. It's a small auto care shop with questionable, inexperienced people running the show. They gave me a call in the middle of the day, saying they didn't have enough time to fix my vehicle even when checking with them prior. There seems to be an overall lack of communication, awareness, respect and follow up in dealing with customers. You will get very little time to pick up your vehicle as they are more worried about going home on time than about you. They don't accept appointments and would rather use the pandemic as an excuse. It's clear that they do not value their customers here. Please take your vehicle to another shop.


Dec 07, 2022

I arrived right at closing with a flat , Joseph and Hunter switched out the tire with no hesitation, AMAZING GOOD PEOPLE ARE STILL AROUND! THANK YOU GUYS SO VERY MUCH.


Dec 07, 2022

I cannot say enough great things about this business. I have taken my car here for routine maintenance as well as big ticket needs. They always "shoot me straight", I never feel like they are taking me for granted or trying to get the best of me to take advantage of me and my need in any situation. Finding a car mechanic that's dependable is so necessary. They have saved me hundreds/of thousands of dollars and have never had a problem referring me to the right place if and when necessary. They have a customer for LIFE! Joseph is the bomb, always has great advice, and is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. You cannot go wrong making this the first stop in your car care needs!


Dec 07, 2022

These guys know their stuff. I thought I was going in for just one tire but all four had threads showing. They didn't have my size tire but was able to order it and have my tires back on the same day!! Very well prices and they have a cool financing program. I will definitely be keeping them in my book. Thank you!!!!


Dec 07, 2022

Joseph and crew are the best!! Great service! Knowledgeable and super professional. I know for sure I'm always getting honest, fair prices.
