Best KPortal Reviews
We had a flat tire and went there by the tow truck guy recommendation. We are glad we did. Mr Thompson was wonderful, polite , kind and explained the problem and offered options. But that was just about his profession. He was so knowledgeable about the local history and took time to talk to us about it. Amazing facts that all companies for Mountain Dew , Dr Pepper and Arm and Hammer originated from around Marion area????. I recommend that tourists interested in local history of Lower Virginia stop for tire pressure check and talk to amazing Mr Thompson.
Here is the service ticket for the inspection Thompson Tire of Wytheville done along with photos of the front tire and rear wheel. They put a reject sticker on this vehicle as detailed on their own paperwork citing tires, rear pads and rotors.
The tires are nearly brand new and are not worn unevenly or into the wear bars. They certainly aren’t less than 2/32” which is the state inspection requirement of VA.
There’s hardly any wear on the rotors and upon visible inspection of pads, it’s clear they are nowhere near a failing measurement which is also 2/32” thickness and the rotors are fine.
Whenever we questioned this inspection, after Thompson’s tried to sell us a full set of tires and brake work, they became rather snippy, rude and defensive. I also pointed out on the second page of their invoice that they had only failed inspection on tires, not breaks or rotors. This is inconsistent with the description on the first page. They couldn’t provide the exact measurement, nor did they know what the state requirement for minimum inspection was when asked. They put a rejection sticker on the car refusing to measure the tread on the tires or the thickness of the brake pads.
Thompson tire in Wytheville is apparently just as dishonest as the one in Marion. All they want is to find something wrong on your inspection that isn’t wrong at all and then hope you take the bait when they try to sell you hundreds of dollars worth of other unnecessary services in exchange for a passing inspection.
Next time y’all try to “mansplain” something, you might want to make sure the person you’re trying to hook doesn’t know more about it than you do and didn’t previously inspect vehicles!
We took the vehicle to another shop and had no problem passing state inspection. I don’t recommend Thompson tire unless you like shelling out hundreds in a necessary repairs.
Called for an installation of 4 new tires on my truck. They indicate it’ll take about an hour to get to me. The showroom is large and accommodating. The sales person was friendly.
Motor home had tire damage found Thompson Tire and was treated like family! The owner searched the internet for our strange tire size and had it delivered faster than expected! Offered us a safe place to park our home and had the tire on as soon as it was delivered checked our motor home out to make sure we were going to get back on the road and be safe again! Definitely will be back when we are in Marion Virginia if anything just to say hello! Thank you again Thompson Tire ❤️
The only place in the area open on the weekend. Great service and pricing for those in need. Had our tire size in stock and able to get us back on the road quickly. Even learned some interesting trivia about Marion Virginia. Highly recommend. ????
I would highly recommend Thompson tire. They rescued us while we were in a bind. They were the only shop in 4 counties open on the Saturday when we realized we had a flat tire. Luckily we were able to make it to about 1 mile from the shop. I called and the owner was very responsive. We were lucky that he had 1 tire that fit our truck in inventory. When we arrived, he took care of us quickly and had us back on the road within an hour. The price of the whole tire and labor to change it was unbelievably affordable. The owner was super friendly, hospitable and shared knowledgeable facts with us about the area. The tire he provided, helped us make it another 600 miles safely back home. Thank you Thompson Tire for caring and being there to rescue the out of towners in need. There should be more places like you and your owner out there ????.
Great family owned business where the owner makes you feel important and is kind of the same time no matter how little money he might make and never shows That's rare with businesses these days he's a good man to say the least!!
'old school's style business where they're actually honest, present, and genuine people who'll serve you. I appreciate you guys getting me out of a pickle and getting me back on the road, as well as your kindness to me.
