Poinsett Tire Pros | 208 Poinsett Hwy. | 864.232.4659

Reader recommendations: “I had an older car with lots of issues and they fixed so many things on it for me AND have a clean shop with amazing customer service. There’s coffee while you wait, the tv is almost always tuned to HGTV, and sometimes James brings his puppies… I’ll never go anywhere else!” – Alexandra H.

“Poinsett tire on Poinsett Hwy. James the owner is honest and you can’t ask for more with a mechanic. Also very reasonably priced.” – Cyle S.

Express Oil Change & Service Center | 1526 Woodruff Rd. | 864.675.0906 + 3931 Pelham Rd. | 864.631.2291

Reader recommendation: “I love Express Oil Change and Service Center on Woodruff. (For those who are afraid of Woodruff, they are easy to get to with back roads.) They do a great, thorough, and very professional job and really quickly. I get my oil changed there every few months and have used the service center too. They don’t have fancy amenities like the dealerships, but you don’t have to pay for them either. My husband was a mechanic for 15 years, and even he is impressed! That’s saying something! And I think Tuesday is Ladies’ day with additional discounts.” – Heather E. [Ed: They do offer a $5 discount on oil changes + 10% off any mechanical service (excluding tires) for women on Tuesdays.]

They always recognize my husband and me. They are so sweet, down to earth, and realistic with their prices. I went in one time in a panic because my check engine light was on and I already had the worst day. I just didn’t screw my gas cap on tight enough. They just nicely laughed, and sent me on my way after a diagnostic. I feel like I’m taking my car to my dads friends that just wanna help! We’ve been going there for years. Jeff and Steve are their front desk/customer service reps that we always ask for!” – Noel W.
