Fast convenient down to the point and a good service crew very accessible location
Family and I where on vacation from New York when our Ford Focus check engine light came on, they were very sweet guys took care of us quickly and gave us advice on what we should do. Great service definitely recommend!!!
I needed one used tire for my 2008 Honda. I did some research and called Vinnys. From the moment Kiki answered the phone it could not have been a more pleasant experience. She told me to come on over and they would take of it right away. Having never been there before and based on many past experiences with other mechanics I remained skeptical. When I arrived there was no one at the front counter but Joe quickly came from the garage area to assist me. Within 10 minutes he found the exact used tire offered me a great price that included install,balance and removal of old tire and did the work immediately. All in all one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with car service.
Vinny and Joe of Vinnys Alignment and Tires were a tremendous help with an issue my mothers 1996 Ford Crown Victoria had. My father and I had taken the vehicle to a number of shops closer to their home and were repeatedly told that the vehicle could not be aligned due to the lack of camber adjustment being available. This is something that can typically occur due to prior damage or worn parts. The trouble is that my parents have had this vehicle for the last 20 years and since it had 9,000 miles (it now has 4X,XXX) with it never having been in an accident and rarely striking a pothole. Given that the vehicle was wearing tires extremely prematurely, something was going to have to be done as this car is still too nice to send out to pasture. After a significant amount of research, I was led to Vinnys based upon their prior reviews and ratings online and felt that they were most likely our last chance and hope to get this resolved. Right from the start Vinny and Joe were both very professional and open and candid with regard to the entire process as well as about what they were doing. When all was said and done they WERE able to get the vehicle lined up, but they were also up front about the fact that they could only just get it into spec and not into the optimal range. Given the age of the vehicle, the appropriate camber kit to assist with fixing the issue is not available. With no obvious physical damage to the suspension parts, Vinny and Joe indicated that the only way to be most likely to fix the issue would be to replace the front suspension components on the vehicle. The price he quoted to do it, while as significant as youd expect it to be for that type of work, seemed to be reasonable for the quality of parts he was intending to use. My parents are ultimately still unsure whether or not they want to sink the additional money into the vehicle based upon what they perceive to be the overall value of it, but the most important takeaway is that Vinny and Joe were able to do what other shops were not, which is to at least get the vehicle aligned so as to get it to the point where my parents can review their options without immediately getting rid of the vehicle. My parents and I want to thank them both for all that they did. If you are looking for a competent, talented, and reasonable alignment shop, I would suggest not looking any further and giving Vinnys a chance to correct your alignment issue. Even though this shop isnt geographically close for either my parents or I, I cant imagine going anywhere else if I had a vehicle with an alignment problem. Thanks again, guys!!
I’ve been going to both of Vinny’s locations for years now. If your looking for someone you can trust that does great work for a fair price and won’t make you pay for something you don’t absolutely need. This is the place to go!
Pop and Vinny are the best! I drive a lowered vehicle and they were able to accommodate and get it riding like new again. Had a few bad experiences with dishonest shops, and was quite thankful to find this place. Also came in under estimate, which is always nice! Only thing of note is a 3% surcharge if paying with card--pay cash if you have it!
The owner of this business allowed inexperienced technicians to work on my car, they then broke some cabling that routed through my firewall and then had the audacity to have me pay to tow and fix their work. I’m out $1800. Is this an expense you can afford just to save a few bucks on some work?It ended up costing me 5 months of my time to get the car back and it didn’t even drive when I got to their shop(I drove it to their shop)I called Anthony’s towing and he got it running in less than 48 hrs. Asked Vince to do the right thing and he gave me the run around since his shop specializes in alignments and not electrical. I blame myself for letting them touch anything but my tires.
VINNIE is very cordial and made me very comfortable. Im sorry that Kee Kee was under the weather. My experience was outstanding.
Vinny IS ACTUALLU HERE! Awesome service will work will you will help you. Had some bad apples BUT HE WILL WORK WITH YOU NO MATTER WHAT!
Great service at great price. Got my 1999 Toyota inspected at half the price of what 2 other shops quoted me for.
Long story short, one of the lesser experienced techs broke my car after I dropped it off. Rather than handle it professionally and put all hands on deck, the owner stood idle while the mechanic who broke it tried to offer me $200 dollars to go away. It cost $1800 dollars to tow the car away and fix their work. I let Joe keep his $200 even though be broke my car as Im done with this place.Beware, as they didnt even help me push my car off their lot, a car that I drove into their establishment months prior to being told there was nothing they could do. Pretty sad when you look at their webpage where they boast years of experience. Will post updates of the car once Im done getting it upgraded. Anthonys Towing is helping me bring it from 180 BHP to just over 500 which I will post photos of the Dyno.
Had a disaster encounter with a pothole on 79. Vinny squeezed me in on a busy day and was quick, matter of fact, and did good work getting me back on the road. Highly recommend.
Don’t let them touch anything but your tires as they will mess it up and they will pass the buck along to you
Good work and friendly service
Took their sweet time on my repair
Good service & good price
Replaced wheel bearings and alignment, My 20 year old car rides like new again.Recommend!
Super speedy, super helpful. I called them on the way to their tire station and they were working on it several minutes later. Would definitely recommend
I dont often give five star reviews, but this place is great super friendly and helpful staff with affordable prices. Im originally from out of town so when I asked around Polish Hill where to go everyone told me this is the spot and I see why. They will always get my business while Im in Pittsburgh and I will always recommend them if anyone asks me.
Cost me 5 months and over $1000 dollars to clean up their mistakes. Next time I’ll just toss my money into a pit and light a match. I’ll get more bang for my buck
Great service fast ! Kiki is professional and friendly.
If you have a lowered car Vinnys is a must for all your alignment needs. (I dont like to take my car to the shop but there are some things you just have to do to do right...and Vinnys sure got it right!) The owner is extremely friendly and straight forward, he will tell you what you need no BS. Same goes who Joe who actually did my alignment. They have very fair and competitive prices for being located in Pittsburgh, this is a place where your money will NOT go to waste. The shop has that mom and pop feel where the customer is actually a person and not another paycheck. I mean they were able to jam my appointment into their busy schedule within 2 days of callingI drive a 1999 BMW M3 that I recently lowered to about 4 inches off the ground and installed aftermarket alignment parts. I wanted custom alignment specs based off of performance not BMWs OEM specs. Being lowered most shops cant and most wont. I gave him a sheet of paper with my specs and asked to him to try and get them close as possible. Most shops wont take a customers specs into consideration but Vinnys cares about the customer. All my post alignment specs are within my requested requirements. Ive attached pictures of my requested specs and alignment machine print out. The only one they couldnt get within my requirements was rear toe and that is due to my car having an R-Title from a previous accident. I expected that but Joe still tried to get it as close as possible and even called me to inform me of the situation.Overall great place to go, and an ABSOLUTE MUST if your car is lowered. You wont find a place better than Vinnys in Pittsburgh! My car handles beautifully now thanks to Vinny
Really helpful and honest staff, Ill be happy to go back whenever I need them.
This has to be the best auto place in Pittsburgh. I went there for a alignment and the service was great from the start. I pulled up to this place the guys came out and pulled my truck in quickly. They were very welcoming and friendly. I felt like I known these guys forever. The service was quick they told me exactly what was going on. Very honest guys there like a family there and I enjoyed there bowl of candy and ice cold water. I recommend this place to my family and friends.
I had the pleasure of getting new tires from the mechanic, Mario at the shop two months ago. He is an extremely knowledgeable “car guy” who’s job it is to make your life easier. Getting an honest and capable mechanic is extremely useful for a person like me who is generally newer to the area. I have been back in recent days to fix a minor problem I had with my undercarriage from snow build up. Every one on staff is extremely friendly and there are places to eat and drink down the street while you are waiting for your car to be done .
I got break pads and rotors replaced with no line and no caliper work done for $300 less than I was quoted for around 2 miles away in PGH. It is worth the drive. Quick service and friendly help, walk into N. Oakland from there.
Amazing customer service. Keke was super friendly and personable making the appointment for my alignment. I came about an hour early for my appointment and they were able to work on it immediately; incredibly accommodating. Vinny is also super friendly and willing to explain what goes on, how it works, and assures you that you won’t be charged for anything you’re not prepared for without your consent. Wonderful experience.
They are an awesome shop open late and early and they dont mess around with their customers.
Thank you. Definitely made my long trip home pheasable. Especially after being turned down by 2 shops previously. Merry Christmas guys
Knowledgeable and friendly staff who will help you understand the service being done. Experts in alignments.
Had new tires put on and front end realigned. You can drop off or wait. I called before and they were able to start working on it right away. They explain and show the customer each issue with their vehicles and then the customer decides what they want to do. They make a recommendation if the customer doesnt know. Friendly and straight forward. Would definitely go back.
They know they stuff
Highly recommend 10/10.. straight forward and very honest
Good service, honest, gets done quickly, explained everything!
Thank you, Great Shop and great people, super helpful
Great experience and a wonderful staff! Was in a bit of a pinch with a flat and a bad spare tire, they took my car in first thing, no appointment needed, and I was out in 30 minutes. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Definitely going back there!
This is a great place! They are very professional and reasonably priced! I I am never in their place for more the hour, whether I am getting brakes, inspection, or tires
This Scum bag told me I needed a lower ball joint and a outter tie rod before he can do my alignment and gave me a $550 estimate. I told him my car was just in a accident and they replaced the inner tie rod and the insurance company will cover the cost if they are bad. He ignored the insurance companies calls and I even called twice and asked him to call them which left me confused. So when I went to a different shop today they told me there was nothing wrong with the tie rod or ball joint and they did the alignment, and explained to me that Vinny was ok with scamming me but was smart enough not to scam the insurance company because it would’ve been fraud. Long story short get a second opinion before going with this shady business. Most likely a lot of fake reviews no way I’m the first they tried to scam
Fast and painless. Great prices, great service. Highly recommend
Vinnys the kind of guy to stay late, to get your vehicle done. Honest, reputable, and I will continue to give them my business. Cant find service like this these days. Thanks Vin
Needed to replace a tire due to the crazy potholes in the burgh.. called around a lot of tire shops and many cannot do it for a few days since they had to order the tire. Luckily I was able to call vinnnys and they were able to replace the tire the same day! The staff was very friendly and the tire was super cheap, they also were able to install a lightbulb. I would definitely recommend as they are friendly, down to earth, straightforward, and are very reasonable with prices
Vinny was able to take my car in almost immediately. While my tires were off, he inspected the car for me and shared with me his findings while still leaving me the freedom of only getting my tires installed. Bring that it was my first time here, I was skeptical about his diagnosis. However, he showed me exactly what needed to be changed and the wear that was on it. Friendly and fair.
Great guys. Service was quick and helpful, didn’t try to sell me anything more than what I came in for.
Great service had what I was looking for prices could have been a little cheaper but overall great
Vinnys a great respectable mechanic. One of the few left. And both of his shops i would highly recommend.
Just blew my tire out TODAY and they gave me a new tire for an amazing price. The place is so friendly and vinny was so kind to me as soon as i came in. This is the first shop THAT I HAVE BEEN TO where they didnt make me feel like i was being cheated for a service. His brother is the bomb. Come here yall.
Did a great job on my lifted truck. they got my alignment perfect noticed a lot better fuel economy.
Love it! Been there twice .. the boss lady is friendly and chatty
I cant even explain how thankful I am that I found this place. Best service I have ever had, fast, freindly, just to nice and amazing prices. Do your self s favor and vist both shops.
Great shop, good people, very fair pricing.
Great, family oriented,HONEST at a good price. My family uses this this shops for all our vehicles! Vince is great!

At Vinnys the employees are Always honest great customer service. Every job was well done a little pricey but at least your not getting ripped off..
These guys are the best for any kind of car repair! I will always go to them, a forever satisfied customer!
I found the listing in craigslist. The staffs are friendly and quick in fixing things. Only issue I had is, I was given a commitment on phone but when I went all the way there(10 miles crossing downtown) they didnt have the tires that I particularly asked for. I asked for an estimate for TPMS sensor fixing gave me a rate of 5$ each tire I asked couple of times. Later when I was billed it was 15$ per tire claiming we have to remove the tire and fix it(I am okay with the cost but could have said before clearly). while doing this there was air leak and needed spare to fix that. Actual cost for that spare was 4$ and I was charged 7$ each(75% spike). I called them to clarify before writing this review and he honestly said yes I got the spare for 4$ and I made profit like others. My suggestion get a quote before they start working. Preferably buy any required spare and hand it over. I will visit them in future but will take a quote before they start the work.
This place is great, employees are great and very helpful, I will continue to go there.
Wicked quick and friendly service, honest assessments and genuine interactions. Very price friendly for a college student.
Very helpful getting me a used tire
Fast, friendly, accommodating, classic pittsburghers
Great job. Kind, frendly,fair.

Reasonable, professional, unaffordable. I will refer everyone to go to Vinnys alignment.
