Warm weather or cold, you still need to think about our vehicle's air conditioning. Most people don't service their air conditioning until after it fails. Vehicle manufacturers have preventive maintenance schedules for air conditioning service, just as they do for transmission service, oil changes and so on.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value
I slid into a curb on a day when there were hundreds of accidents in the metro area. A few days later I contacted Southwest Tire and even though they were very busy they were able to have a technician evaluate the wheel and they scheduled repair a few days later. Incredible service during a very busy time of year.

Very good car repair shop! Owners Tim and Rick are extremely easy to work with and seem very trustworthy. I stumbled into their shop with a simple calibration issue for my vehicle about a year ago! Very glad I did because they are good at what they do and honest about what work needs to be done. I've had them perform various services to my vehicle (tires, new brakes, fixed a stabilitrak light, etc) and the work has been top notch. I strongly recommend trying them out next time you need your car serviced -- you will not be disappointed!

Southwest Firestone has the BEST customer service hands down! In the days of non-existent customer service, Southwest has not forgotten the customer. Explanation of repairs and maintenance your vehicle actually needs now and why. Rick found me the exact tires I wanted for my van without me knowing how to talk technical terminology. Rick is always honest and explains things in a way even I can understand. I can call Southwest Firestone anytime with a concern or question (no matter how silly) and they are always helpful and considerate. My husband and I (and my 4 teenagers) have a better understanding

Unparalleled service! In addition to having service here several times prior- just today my car spun out on ice, hit the curb and caused a flat tire. I called Firestone at 50th and Xerxes. I pulled right in and 25 minutes later the tire was repaired for only $42. While waiting the attendant served me coffee and educated me on new tire technology. I’m so glad they are located here in the middle of our city! I fear it won’t last long as our City Council and state government are legislating & regulating everything that moves, particularly automobiles.

They don't spend all their time trying to upsell me. Say no more to win me over!
I love having this place in the neighborhood. I have always had great service with a friendly attitude. The only downside is the old skool hours (limited), but this seems a fair compromise for their willingness to fit you into their schedule with little or no warning.

We've been taking our cars here for a couple of years for oil changes, which has been fine. Since it was close to our house we started using them for repairs, also. Not once, but twice has my vehicle been returned in worse off condition than when I dropped it off. One was a simple changing of the cabin air filter. After they recommended replacing it, it came back with a very loud noise and vibration on high blower. I called the next day to tell them and Barry told me "sometimes leaves fall in there". It was just replaced!? It didn't have that problem before. They said it wasn

This Firestone was completely incompetent. I had to get my car towed in because it would not start, and the mechanic Barry told me it was because I left my car lights on and the battery was dead. First off that isn't possible because I have automatic headlights and the key turned over perfectly fine with my radio and everything working just fine. He told me to come in and pick up my car, it was just the battery and I would be good to go. When I went there my car STILL WOULDNT START and he told me he just ASSUMED it was the battery, he did not check to see if it was working properly before
