Need good Tire Shop in HR to get my tires changed

Alloy Wheel of Virginia

Little bit of a hole in the wall but they do great work. I found out about them through Tidewater Z. They have put tires on my OEM Rays and Volk Racing G2s. Their tire/wheel balancing is track worthy. It is the place I took my G2s to after Atlantic Autosports in VA Beach failed to properly balance my G2s 3 times, wheels vibrated at 55mph and over. Alloy Wheel got it right the first time and the balance was good for speeds well over 100mph (HPDE). They were also able to fix my one of my tires when I picked up a nail close to the sidewall. However I have never ordered tires through them so I can not comment on what they are able to do in that category.

Thanks VABAM, that's close to where I work. I'll try them the next time I order tires from tirerack.

I highly recommend Professional Rim Repair in Chesapeake. Chris (the owner I believe) and his guys do great work and they have high end equipment. Have used them several times for different reasons and have been satisfied every single time. Great group of people. Don't go to the franchise places, they suck and don't care about people's cars.

Typical blanket statements like this are often wrong. The last two "independent" shops I went to were hacks. One of them I sued and won a $13,500 settlement + 10% per annum in interest because he practically destroyed my car. Franchise companies are fully insured, have resources to provide fixes for anything they do screw up (as long as fault is proven, but same goes for an independent shop as well) and are generally bound to a particular level of service and one can usually come to a conclusion about how that franchise location operates based on the reviews left by others. As long as MOST of the reviews are in favor, you generally won't go wrong. If it is 50/50 mixed. Steer clear. Any worse than that you are just choosing poorly. I give credit where it is due. I don't care if it franchise or otherwise. Business is business. Do it well and I'll go back.
