Let me start by saying I'm a 35 year certified ASE Master Technician and L1. I'm usually doing the fixing and billing. While on vacation in Hilton Head my rear wheel bearing went bad and not the easiest one to do. I was able to leave it with them for two days and they got it done at a very fair and honest price. Extremely nice people and locally owned shop which is important to me. Keep up the good work. Thank you again

I was on vacation with my family when my car began acting weird. They made sure to take care of my car like they were loading their own family into it for the road trip home. Absolute professionals. Whether you are local or have a problem like I did on vacation be sure to take it to the trusted professionals at Island Tire.

Unbelievable. On vacation and had a wheel bearing problem, and they were able to get our vehicle turned around to us within 24hours! Amazing. The price wasn't that bad either. Thank you for giving us one less thing to worry about.

Got a nail in my tire and was losing air while here on vacation. Called Island tire and they got me right in. I was able to drop off my tire on a Monday, they had it patched in a few hours and put it back on for me for cheap! Very kind and helpful!

This place was phenomenal. We arrived in Hilton Head and our brakes were shot. I reached out and they responded immediately. Our car was finished in 3 hours. Fastest service I've ever received. I appreciate it so much because otherwise our vacation would've been ruined. My husband said the front desk guy was fantastic and personable. We are so grateful.

What a great repair center!! While visiting in Hilton Head, I had a flat tire and called Island Tire based on Yelp reviews. Josh came to the area I was in(about 1 mile from Island Tire) put air in so I could drive it to be repaired. NO charge!! Then after waiting to have the tire fixed, I was shocked to see the total bill was only $33!!!! Nothing short of amazing! If I lived here, this would definitely be my go to place for car repairs. Color me a happy vacationer.

Excellent! We were vacationing on Hilton Head and came across a screw nail....needless to say a flat tire. We had the tire fixed at Island Tire & Automotive and they were quick, efficient and reasonably priced. Thanks so much for getting us back on the road! Josh at the front counter was courteous, efficient and a hoot!

We were vacationing and our battery unexpectedly died. After AAA sent someone to start us he directed us to Island Tire for a new battery. They had us in and out in less than 15 minutes even though they were closing for the holiday. Really appreciate that they understood the bind we were in and got us back on the road.

When arriving in HHI for vacation after a taxing 14 hour drive from Pennsylvania, we were experiencing a noise and complications with the front end of our truck. The hotel we stayed at recommended Island Tire and Auto (South location). We arrived at 5:00pm and Brad helped us even though they were closing. He went above and beyond what would be expected from customer service to help us out. I would recommend using the services here to anyone who appreciates true customer service and concern for others well being in these days when it seems to be lacking.

I absolutely love these wonderful people. For the last three years my old car has had issues but they were not only able to repair my old friend they made time to do so and found the parts as well as picking me up when my car was ready and kept me updated on its progress. They don't push unneeded repairs and help make car trouble not so troubling. I highly recommend them and Berry and all his crew are a wonderful to work with. Thanks for getting the old boy you and running once again., maybe we can go two years this time. But if not I know you all will be ready and willing to help.

Visiting from australia and got up this morning in dismay to find a nail puncture in our tyre. Our resort staff recommended island tire and we had THE best customer service experience there!
Brooke was so helpful and efficient, our repair was done promptly (within 20minutes) and our car then brought to the door so we didn't get wet in the rain! Incredible service... loved the free coffee and friendly atmosphere chatting to the locals while we waited. Thanks so much guys for a superb experience. Highly recommend this local business.

I wish all shops would replicate their customer service! Thanks guys!!

We were vacationing in Hilton Head this summer and our car's air conditioner stopped working. It was a typical HOT HOT August week. A friend recommended I stop in at Island Tire because she had a great experience there. They were so accommodating and squeezed me in immediately without an appointment and ran a diagnostic check. They were SPOT ON with the diagnostics and told me that they were sure it was still under warranty and hooked me up with a local ACURA dealer. (they could have offered to repair it and charge me the 1400.00 that they said it would cost) When I went to pay them for their time, they did not want to take any money. Now that is southern hospitality at it's best. Thanks ISLAND TIRE!

Island Tire is dedicated to solving the customer's auto problem, even if there is nothing going into their till. I recently had my car serviced there, as I always do, but today discovered my a/c was not working. Kia took the car for a drive, checked under the hood, etc and confirmed my suspicion. However, instead of scheduling a service appointment, he insisted I call the dealership, verify my warranty, and have them do the work. Thank you Island Tire for always putting the customer first.

Great quality fast service, the people were very knowledgeable and experienced. My girlfriend and I were visiting from Charleston, SC and on our way out we had a flat. They showed us why the tire needed to be replaced and where it was damaged. I highly recommend this place, left very satisfied.

I wanted to let you know about my experience today, as it was so overwhelmingly positive. I visited the south end location today on a friend's recommendation and was helped by Kia primarily. It is truly rare for a team to go out of their way to help and provide great customer service, so I was blown away. I needed a new tire in a hurry. It wasn't in stock, but Kia made it happen!
You have a terrific staff and I will most certainly return.

Your team was so professional yesterday. New brakes all around, new front rotors, and an oil change. They even washed and vacuumed my car. I had forgotten what color it was. :) Thank You!

Last night I drove from Columbia to Bluffton in that huge thunderstorm gullywasher that hit. Whew! Thank goodness my husband had new tires from Island Tire on the truck. No hydroplaning, no problems.....just took it slowly. Thanks, Island Tire.

On two separate occasions I came to your shop with a worrisome problem that ultimately proved to be minor. The first was a tire with a nail that had not perforated the tread and the second was a mushy brake that just needed a little brake fluid. You promptly and cheerfully looked at the problem and resolved it without charge even though my car has out-of-state (Iowa) plates. In fact, you declined offered compensation.
That level of courtesy and response is unfortunately rare these days and certainly should be commended.
We come annually to Sea Pines to stay in our condo at this time of year. We certainly will purchase our gasoline and any other service from you in the future and recommend your business to our guests and friends.
Thanks again and have a great holiday season!

I was vacationing in Hilton Head with friends when we kept hearing noises coming from my car. On August 8th we stopped at Island Tire and they were so nice and helpful. Immediately Scott offered to drive the car to see what the problem was. He found that the back left tire was about to fall off. My husband had replaced the shocks but forgot to tighten after taking off jack. Scott literally saved us as the next day we returned to Virginia and would surely have had an accident!! Thank you so much!

Came in without an appointment and was taken right away for a check of a suspected nail in one of my car's tires. Found it and it hadn't pierced the inner wall. They suggested tire rotation (which hadn't been done in over a year, showing me the wear indications. Was out in a half hour. Very professional service people who know what they are doing. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Needed 4 new tires for a road trip, leaving early the next morning. Tires were promised late afternoon. The wrong tires were delivered to the shop, but the guys worked late to get the right ones re-delivered and mounted that night. If they hadn't done that, we would have had a late start the next day and missed a scheduled event that evening. Island Tire "got it done" for us. Highly recommend this shop

I had a flat tire when arriving on Hilton Head Island from Ohio. A total stranger kindly stopped and changed my tire for me. Then the next morning I went to Island Tire where they took a look at my tire. I was fully expecting to have to buy another tire but they informed me that it could be repaired for about $30. As a middle-aged woman traveling alone, I could easily have been duped but their honesty saved me the cost of a new tire purchase. And the work was done promptly and with the utmost courtesy. I would highly recommend Island Tire.

I was very pleased with my service. My car made a funny noise when I went over rough roads. Island Tire checked out a number possibilities before they discovered a loose bolt/nut on the rear tire alignment arm. Most repair places would give up after an hour of not finding any problems. Island Tire did not give up until the problem was fixed. I would highly recommend the Island and Tire to all.

We've all had unpleasant experiences with our car and tire repairs. Today was an outstanding exception to the rule for me as Island Tire (Palmetto Bay Rd.) patiently listened to my descriptions of what was wrong with my car. They were conscientious in finding good tire quality/pricing (a bad tire was culprit) to resolve the problem, and were courteous and considerate in shuttling me home and then coming for me when repairs were complete. They deserve the five-star rating. Let's make it six! Special thank-you to Wheeler for his courtesy.

I started to write a review that spelled out specifically my experience. I ran out of space. The short version is this: I would not take my car anywhere else. Mike, Barry and the rest of the team are among the most honest in the business. My situation with my car was a major transmission issue. When it was all said and done, Mike made the recommendation not to do the work that was required as it didn't make sense on a car, while still in good shape, was very high in miles. They walked away from a $7,500 transmission job because it was in my best interest. Have you ever heard of an auto service company walking away from work because to do the work wasn't in the best interest of the customer? I never have. In addition, I wasn't charged for the diagnostic work or the towing. Don't trust your car to anyone else.

I came to Hilton Head to visit my son and wife. Just as I was arriving, the clutch on my Jeep Wrangler had gone out. I had managed to get it to the Salt Dog Cafe. I explained my situation to them, and the first place they mentioned and recommended was Island Tire. Even though my Jeep Wrangler is 17 years old, I still consider it "my baby." I talked with the folks at Island Tire and wanted to be sure they had someone familiar with working on Jeeps. They let me know they had a mechanic with many years of Jeep experience. Being away from home, and my home mechanic, and trusting a mechanic I didn't know quickly became a non-issue. The team at Island Tire kept me informed at all times. They offered me options and didn't try to oversell me on anything. During the process, I had to get back home, and my wife remained to pick up the Jeep. She told me that the staff was very friendly and courteous. At the end of the day, we couldn't have been more satisfied with the service provided by Island Tire. The new clutch is is working great. The experience with the team was fantastic. And, the final price was less than I was originally quoted!

Great Service. I appreciated the time that was spent with me on my repair, the invoice, and even the mechanics behind my vehicle. Admittedly, I knew very little about the repair and the mechanics and I was feeling very uncomfortable and frustrated with my repair at first. I think the service writer did a great job with explaining the overall repair but also it was really nice for the owner to take the time to explain to me the repair as well. Also, I enjoyed the pictures of early Sea Pines in the waiting area. Its nice to be reminded of the early history of our island.

I needed brakes replaced and some other smaller things done. These guys are extremely customer service oriented, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They have a great understanding of their market and meet it with quality work and great personal relation skills. I am glad we have found an automotive repair expert on the island as we spend more of each year here. We were staying close to the shop so they took me home to be with.my family all day rather than sitting at the shop. I give them 5 stars!!

We began having timing belt issues while on our way to the island. The guys graciously fit me in their incredibly busy schedule and had our van running like new in no time at all. Customer service and pricing was unmatched. They will have my business if I ever have another issue while in town.
