Drove from TX to GA. Came here for an oil change and tire rotation after the long drive. Guys got me in immediately and didn’t keep me waiting long at all. I’m the type I only go to my same places once I find a good one. I’ll be sure to be back here before I return. Friendly professional service and appreciated the military discount. Thanks guys!

It took 3 days to get my truck back. But believe me well worth it. They know their stuff and the price of repair is a very fair price, thats why it took 3 days they are busy, but if you can wait you wont be disappointed. Oh to be clear I was getting my breaks done. It would most likely be quicker if you went in for tires. They truly are a 5 star place.

This is my second time using Fred’s, the first was almost 7 years ago when we were visiting this area and this experience was just as good as the last time. My tire has had a slow leak. The Nissan dealership in Columbus looked at it twice and told me it was just a sensor issue from humidity. Fred’s took a quick look at it and found a piece of metal. The staff at the desk and the technician or mechanic who looked at it was wonderful( Freddy). I cannot recommend them enough if you need anything tire related.

Great place to go. Took my car in for it bouncing when I hit a bump, left it with them to check, they called me later that day to let me know what was wrong with it. Jackson explained everything that my car needed and was very helpful. Once it was finished they called to let me know it was ready to be picked up. The prices were great and the staff was extremely friendly! I won’t take my car anywhere else. They are busy but they do good work and are nice.

Let me say this. Fred R. is one of the best. I have known him since I was a child. I used to visit him with my Dad when I was a boy. He is one of the most honest men I have ever known. You will never be cheated by Fred. My family has bought so many tires from him there is no way to count them all. If you want a fair priced job then go there and see how good it can be to have someone you can trust work on your car. Jim Hill.

Tony is awesome! He does great with keeping me baby running and running well!

Over the years I guess they have outgrown themselves, if you want to spend 4-5 hours waiting on a brake job or new tires this is your place. My review is based on my last two visits, the work has always been quality but they clearly need to hire more staff. #day off spent getting new tires🤨

Always a pleasure to get my tires from Freds Tire Center. The staff there is extremely knowledgeable and well-trained. Their customer service is the best in town and I can trust Freds to ensure my family is safe driving on the road.

The fact that customer service is Wonderful and the work is just outstanding! I would Highly recommend Freds Your Center for your Oil, Alignment, Brake and More needs!! Thank You for your professional and great quality doing!

Well after reading all the good reviews and getting a recommendation from Columbus Body Works I decided to give them a shot.I needed to have my tires balanced. I got there at 8 was checked in by 8:20 and was told it would be an hour and half so that was fine. I thought I would be through by 11 at the latest. I ordered lunch at 12 had it delivered ate and was still waiting. Needless to say I left at 1:15 without any work being done on my car not even being touched. There was 1 other guy that came in at 8 with me that was still waiting when i left. So I didnt get the experience that you all had. I rated a 2 because the lady at the counter at least kept trying to check and see how long it would be and she was really polite and professional.

First time customer today, I came in a little before 8am and did not leave until after 1pm. 5 hours for an oil change and an alignment does not seem reasonable especially when I waited and watched people who came in well after me leave well before me. I even spoke with an employee outside and he did not see why it was taking so long for my vehicle to be done. The job was eventually done, but I dont think im willing to come back and spend money to wait 5 hours for some simple maintenance

I’ve done business with Tires first for years and highly recommended this local tire company!

Got a flat and thought I needed to replace the wheel. Turns out they could just patch the hole instead. Fred saved me hundreds of dollars by making a simple repair. I love and appreciate their honesty and professional service. Did the whole thing in under an hour right before closing too! I’m coming back to Freds when I need new tires for sure!

I have taken my car to Freds Tire Center for at least 12 years, and have always found them to be honest and knowledgeable. Today I met a man that has brought his cars to them for about 16 years. Todays car was a Jaguar, he has 6 or 7 cars, all makes and models that other family members drive, including a 64 Mustang. That speaks well of their ethics....

This is the best auto repair shop to go to in Columbus, GA. I take all my vehicles here! Tell the owner Wayne I said so!

Great service and reasonable prices.

I am outraged with how they have treated me after my oil change. I always get synthetic oil in my 2017 car and for whatever reason the guy put regular oil in my car. A day or so later my car started knocking like no oil was in it. I had it towed to Freds and the gentleman said that a flush might help, I agreed to the flush, then he said he wouldnt do it because its not going to help. Someone needs to take accountability for messing with up my car, if not actions will be taken Jada

Apparently while putting on 2 NEW front tires 1 of the lugs broke off, I didnt find out until like 2 months later when I was getting my brakes replaced because I THOUGHT tht was the problem. Freds fixed the problem immediately at no cost 2 me which was I feel, the rt thing 2 do. I didnt even need new brakes but OHHH WELL 😐

Fred’s Tires is by far the best place to take your vehicle in Columbus.Fair Pricing, Timely Service, Great Communication & Great Work!I have had work done on multiple vehicles that needed repair such as:engine work, AC work, Tires and Wheels put on, fog lights added, bull bar put on, brakes done and oil changes.My vehicles included:Lexus RX 350Toyota SequoiaToyota TundraAll the staff there will take care of you and your vehicle.

I’ve brought my work vehicles and personal vehicles here. They charge decent prices. Very honest people. I usually go here first

Most honest place you can take your vehicle

Could not repair car, had to take it somewhere else, but they did tell me what the problem was,

We broke down outside of Columbus, Ga on our way from Atlanta to Florida. We found Freds Tire and are SO GRATEFUL we did.The tow truck driver wouldnt allow us to ride with him to the shop because of COVID and basically said wed have to figure out our own way to get off of the side of the road. Shawn at Freds Tire was our ANGEL. He came in his personal vehicle to pick us up and then personally did our repair making sure we were totally taken care of. He even let us put some groceries in the repair shop fridge so nothing would spoil. :)The entire staff was incredible and SO KIND to us. Im a little sad we cant give them our business consistently (we live in Atlanta) but Im so glad we worked with them in our time of need.Highly recommend!

Only place in Columbus which told they could fix my tire. All of the other places don’t do plugs. Good service, facility, and price. 10/10

Staff seems very nice so this review is not for them. From what I heard, mechanics seemed to be behind a day so for a review as far as a walk-in, not a scheduled visit, this is not ideal. I guess Id recommend for you to schedule it. Ive easily waited over an hour and a half already and my vehicle has not been in the shop yet. All I need is a tire patch. Sigh...

Just got new tires and an oil change and was very pleased with the service. While my sister and I waited on my car along with her furbaby they bought us drinks and even brought out a bowl of water for Bama. Will be going back soon for tires on my truck also. Thank you for such great service.

I was referred to Freds by a family friend after getting ripped off by another shop. I can honestly say with certainty My experience with Freds has been GREAT! They are HONEST & their prices are very FAIR! IT HAS BEEN A RELIEF TO FIND A MECHANIC I CAN TRUST AGAIN! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONEST AND INTEGRITY FREDS TIRE! If you are female and feel as if your mechanic takes advantage of your lack of knowledge in the automobile dept then you need to give Freds Tire a chance to show that you can still trust your mechanic! Great people and great service!

Best place in town, always honest and helpful.

Greatest Tire Shop in Columbus Ga!

Seem to usually give a fair value for what you get. A little disappointed that after a patch they dont ballance a tire, just mark the valve stem Andrew remount the tire in the same spot. Use to a patch you pull through the inside of the tire. Guess time will tell if it holds. Nice customer service.

Great tires great service. Took a minute but worth the wait. Friendly folks

Honest car repair place. Enough said.

I always feel well taken care off.

Jackson was the best! The entire staff is so kind and polite. I’m very thankful I found this place.

Quick, Kind and Courtesy with service. Fair honest prices.

Honest . Will tell u the honest truth

The best in town!!!

Called Fred’s on Tuesday afternoon looking for a particular set of tires for my truck after going to 3 other places in town. They found the tires I wanted and had them in the shop today (Wednesday) when I got there at 1:00. Great price, great service and super nice people. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thanks Fred’s for all you did to get the tires I wanted.

They are just great

Awsome what great people

Great prices on tires but slow as all get out.

Quick service, very clean

I got new tires for my wifes Enclave just before Thanksgiving. One or more of them were not balanced correctly. Lots of vibration. I took it back two or three times to try to get them to correct it. The last time I suggested that the tires might be defective. And it was my understanding that they replaced one of them. But I didnt really check to see if they really did. Very nice people and I would love to recommend them but i cant. It looks like we are going to have to vibrate down the road for the time being

Grate sales staff grate prices and awesome techs

Always professional, courteous and reasonably priced. Good folks

Staff is very friendly and the prices are reasonable. Ive taken my car in for various types of work besides tires.

I went to this place on July 14th to inquire about the cost of tires with an alignment for a Kia Optima. The gentleman that assisted me was very helpful and so polite. I went back the next morning to get the work done, I wasnt too worried about the cost just wanted excellent customer service. They exceeded my expectations by being honest about not being able to do the alignment because of an issue on the right side of my car. After they were done I let them know Ill do business with them from now on. Most people try to get over on you, but not Freds Tires. Kia which is where I get my oil changes wanted to charge me a weeks salary for the same work, I told them no thank you. By the way, they must be very good at what they do because I call myself trying to beat the crowd and was met with 20 other customers waiting. When a business is that busy that early in the morning trust them. Thats just my opinion

Very friendly and I was in and out in no time.

Freds Tire Center always an Excellent job with our vehicles TKS Fred!!!

Great place

Best youre experience in years. Great service from the moment I walked in the doors. Had a low tire that kept deflating. They found a piece of debris in the sidewall. To large to fill so I got a new tire promptly

If I could give less than 1 star I would. My first experience at Freds was great, was having issues with the passenger side headlight and the guy fixed it, no issues. It turned out to be a loose connection or something and he realized that once he pulled my bulb out. This was about two months ago.Last week, I had my driver low beam headlight go out. I took it when they were busy (which I was understanding, it was right at lunch and everyone was bringing their car in). I went and got food and then came back and my car was still in the line. Three hours into my waiting they finally call my name. Im all excited to be able to not have to worry anymore about my headlight out and Im supporting a local business. UNFORTUNATELY, they pulled the wrong bulb and told me my low beam bulb that I brought in doesnt fit that vehicle. This would be completely different situation if I had just bought these bulbs. But, I had been using these same bulbs for 7 years. Even called Advanced Auto where I purchase them and made sure they were for my low beams before I even messed around with them. I have my running lights/brights running off of the same bulb and my low beams are off of a different bulb. Needless to say, my friend put my bulb in in under 5 minutes and guess what? The bulb fit! Never going to go to Freds again, even though I would rather support local. Worst experience ever in any kind of shop.Update: if you guys are looking for a local shop to give your business to (like I was hoping to find in Freds) check out Stevens Auto.

Customer service could of been better. The shop supervisor was a little rude. Great prices and I am not going let one person make it bad for all the others. I would recommend if you need tires at a great price.

Ive had my car here twice for different reasons. The first time they saved me about a grand because the Honda dealer told me I needed something I didnt for my ac. The second time I went back for some maintenance and was completely happy again with their service. You can bring your vehicle here and not worry about being cheated.

Staff Is Nice, They Got The Job Done & They’re Cheap Just Didn’t Like The Wait, But I Also Didn’t Schedule A Appt Either, But I’ll Definitely Go Back It Was Worth It

The only place to go in Columbus for tires oil changes and much more

A great place to have car services complete. I call this morning and was helped as soon as I arrived. The prices of four brand new, fairly large tires were amazing. The techs are so friendly and even filled my washer fluid without me asking. The fact the the light was on when the tech drove my car around was enough to make him fill it at no charge. I dont get my services done anywhere else if I dont have to. I cant even explain how fast they were. I arrived at 1205 and I was gone by 1240. Just amazing!!!

Good service. Nice tire/repair shop

Best place to go in town. They are always honest, trustworthy and do great work! They stand behind their work and will treat you fairly. If you need tires, oil change, brakes, tune up, transmission work, etc. Go see the guys at Freds they will take care of it for you!

Great place with exceptional customer service!

Very knowledgeable staff, quick turn around time, and honest work.

This place is fantastic, hopefully I want have a problem with my automobile but if i do this is the place for me,very reasonable prices, they did my front brakes on my dodge ram for have the price of that dealership here in Columbus, thanks Freds Ill be doing all my business at your 2nd ave store 👌👍👏

Great service, friendly folks. Gives military discount too

Best in shop in town and all that surround! Honest and friendly owners and staff! Rhonda, who is the office manager, is a multitasking wiz, taking care of multiple issues at a time, quickly and always with a smile! The only place to go in town, if you want a shop, in which, most of the mechanics, have been there 20+ years. Fred and Terry, the owners, are advocates of continuing education and generously send their mechanics, like Rob, who has been to schools at all of the auto makers. Cars change, why would you want a mechanic who hasn’t taken a class since the Reagan Era? You wouldn’t! So, If you want quick, honest and high quality service, then...Head to Fred’s!

Dropped by today for an oil change and tire rotation. Sat and waited over 2 hours. They finally pull my truck around bring the slip in for me to pay. I asked the older lady at the desk if they did my tire rotation. She said yes they did. I knew they didnt because I never saw them do it and besides that my tire was in the same position on my truck that they were when I took it in. I had a small nail in one of the tires and it was still in the same place. Tread was low on one of the tires and it was in the same place as well. This is not the first time Ive been lied to at this place. I dont only blame the office staff I blame the ones that were supposed to have done the work because the lies start with them. Ive been going here for years for services here and there. I think Ill make today my last time.

Nice people. With great service done in a timely manner.. mechanics absolutely know what they are doing with fair prices only place I will take my car

I have given them my tire business for 46 years because they have earned it. Im sure they make a profit but you wont find better customer service before or after the sale.

In and out fast for a tire repair.

Excellent service! Get there early they get busy really fast

Mr. Jackson Massey, the sales manager is awesome. This place is like a NASCAR pit-stop. I pulled into the shop at 4:30 PM and they had my truck ready with the keys in it at 4:57 PM. This is hands down the best tire center experience that I have ever had. I saw a negative comment by another individual stating they were not happy because they do not do appointments. They dont do appointments because if you show up even an hour before closing, youll have new tires on your car before they close. They even charged me less than I was originally quoted. Usually, its the other way around. Incredible. I appreciate your service and I hope this review helps anyone make an informed decision on where to go for tires. If you want a good deal and you want it done right, go to Freds.

Fast friendly great price on the tire thank yoi

Always great service and very fair prices.

One of the best things about moving back to the area is being able to have my cars repaired by Freds tire. They are honest and do not charge for things that you do not need. If Terry Riles says that it is needed you better get it done. Good people.

Other places in town should take notes, this place is simply the best to get your vehicle worked on. I feel like my car is being taken care of by my uncles every time I come here--great service, they know their stuff, and the prices cant be beat. Love Freds tire!

Excellent prices, service and staff. I have dealt with Freds for over 25 years and always have a good experience. (My new wheels and tires look and ride awesome) Thanks to everybody at Freds!

Fred is honest and reasonable price. I would recommend Freds automotive to anyone. They are very polite. So you need automotive work. Go to Fred. I will BACK up what I said

I wanted Nicholas to do my work. But family stabbed him in the back.

Good prices, good work, friendly helpful staff!

Great place to bring your vehicle! Family-friendly people. Reasonable prices. 4 stars because the wait is long! Ask for Fred!

Freds Tire Center goes above and beyond. They are quick, convenient, knowledgeable, honest and committed to quality. I would recommend Freds to anyone I know. Ive experienced quality customer service every single time I enter the door. Freds has done multiple oil changes on my familys vehicles, worked on my brakes and changed our tires.

Great sevice at a fair price

The first time I went to Freds, they treated me like I was a customers for yrs. They were so friendly and excellent customers service. The prices are Great!! The only place my family goes to now.

Very good service. Call for my sister and alignment and they took real good care of her. And the secretary spoke real nice and she was real polite. Now thats good business.

They were kind and got two front tires for my BMW 750IL within 15 min of their part store closing.

I had first visit to Fred’s Tire Center today and I was very impressed and happy! Nice staff, great service, and very quick. I’ll definitely be going back.

These guys are top notch. I have taken my wifes vehicle to them for the second time in two weeks and they have treated us like we are the most important, along with their other customers. I cant say enough about the hard work they put in to make sure the job is done right and they genuinely care about the work they do.

Best place to get your car repaired. Great service and reasonable prices.

Helped me out with a patch job on my truck yesterday. With the great price, over the top helpfulness, and quick service.. I will always go back and recommend them to anyone!!

Low prices, professional friendly staff

I was in a bind a few days ago with an unexpected flat. Freds was the nearest location to me, so once I got my donut on I drove over to them after calling to see if they could help me out. Service was very fast, friendly and helpful considering that I was in a bit of a time crunch as well. Prices were fair and I left far less stressed than when I entered. I will definitely be going back the next time I need assistance with my tires.

Best place Ive ever bought tires. Actually charged less than the estimate, great service, on time and very friendly and helpful staff. Also, great prices!

Would give 0 stars if I could. Came 6 months ago, dropped my car off before lunch just for an oil change, came back at 5:30 and was told it wasn’t ready. They said sorry and gave me a free oil change coupon, ok that’s nice. But now I’m back (only because of the free oil change coupon). Dropped it off before lunch. This time I called before I came at 5, was told it’s ready. Got here at 5:30 to get it, gave them my coupon, they gave me my ticket. Then I walked out to my car and saw it had not been moved, then noticed the sticker on the window had not been changed, and the oil life indicator had not been reset. Go back in to ask, sure enough they never serviced my car. If I had not asked, they would have just let me drive off. Horrible!

The staff is very friendly & they dont try & get over on u!! Very honest people

Over the years Ive purchased at least 8 sets of tires here. Great service and friendly folks. They did kill a plastic wheel cover once but they bought me a new one. Get there early because they book up fast.

Walked in, handed my keys to the staff, met the nicest folks in the world, two of which have been going to Freds for 60 years. Great work on the car and the kicker? First time complimentary just because. Im in love.

Some employee is very friendly but, you can be there waiting and if they friend come in they put them first. Other then that they are good.

The best price in town for tires. I always call around and they are the lowest and they offer quality brands. They also have a shuttle service that takes you home if you dont want to wait.

I pulled into Freds early this morning and ask if they are booked or can they do an alignment on my 97 F350. They tell me it will fit on there rack and can get to it within an hour. I tell them I will wait on it. While I am waiting I overhear a customer complaining that instead of getting a $300.00 refund they were charged an additional $300.00. She was told it would take 3 days to get her money back. Its one thing to go for an exchange and wait 3 days but to be charged an additional $300 and its their error, somebody at Freds would be taking a trip to the ATM and getting my money!So back to me. An hour later I see my truck outside the office. Hmmm good deal that was quick. I wait 15 minutes and decide to ask if its ready. No sir it wont fit on our rack Are you kidding me? Isnt that what I asked when I came in? And youre gonna let me continue sit there?I quit going to Freds 30 years ago because I had to have my truck re-alignged every 3 months or so. I take it to Fowlers and they say my truck would never hold an alignment without redoing the front end. Im done with Freds.

Went there to have tires put on for my father-in-law. Spoke with Fred, great prices and customer service!

Great staff great service, but not taking appointments is a load of crap. Driving 40 minutes into town to maybe get a job done isnt a gamble I like to make. Dont like having my time wasted.
