AAA Downtown Dayton Tire and Auto Service

Kudos to AAA! I woke up early to take a trip out of town to find one of my tires was low. While airing it up I saw a nail in the middle of the tread. I drove to AAA on east Third and waited for them to open up. 7:30 is very early and was appreciated. They didn't have a 'tire tech' available yet, but one of the guys in the office took it upon himself to fix it for me so I could get back on the road. He came back with bad news, the nail I saw wasn't actually causing the leak, I had a break at the top of the sidewall. I feel like some places would've just plugged the nail I saw and then sent me on my way to be in trouble later. Well regrettably I had to replace the tire. I've always been taught to replace tires in pairs, but with the great price they gave me I was able to replace all 4 with tires they had in stock! I was very happy to still be able to get out of town within a couple hours of my planned time. Thanks Daryl and John you turned a nightmare into a dream. p.s. The

I've been coming here for over a decade. I feel like I always get good, honest service. I've never left feeling as if I had been cheated. They never seem to mind stopping and putting air in my tires when they are low. I've only had one bad experience, many years ago with an employee who no longer works there (different name & ownership then). I would definitely recommend them.

Very poor service, it took them 2 hours just to do an oil change, and the window sticker they provided me had no way of letting me know when I need to get the oil changed again. I went back after this to get a price estimate for a different issue, and the employees working at the desk were no help whatsoever. There weren't even any customers there, and yet the only thing they could say to me was " Someone will be with you shortly" as if there were several customers in there. Really, seriously? My own mom even stated they took too long to change my oil as she was visiting me that day from out of town and she gave me the money to get the oil change. 1 star is being generous, I do not recommend this place at all, you are better off going to All Tune and Lube a couple doors down at 400 East 3rd Street.
