Les Schwab Tire Center — Local services in Newport

I’ve taken my car here for about 5 years to get routine maintenance like switching tires and oil changes. A couple of months ago I noticed one of my tires had a slow leak and needed to be repaired so I took it in to get patched. All of a sudden I needed new breaks and an alignment (which was true so I did). Ironically, I bring my car home the night I picked it up and my tire wasn’t fixed. I take it back a couple of weeks later when I had the time and then they tell me I have a wheel bearing out and it’ll be almost $600 to replace… Took it to three separate mechanics afterwards to get their opinions and they all said it was completely fine! Unfortunately, I can’t trust I’ll get honest answers from here anymore and luckily I wasn’t scammed out of 600 more dollars.

We were in Priest River and noticed we had a low tire, then I noticed the screw in the tire. We had the bikes loaded up to hit the trail, but with a leaking tire we were going nowhere. I stopped at a local shop and they could not handle the rim size and suggested Les Schwab. Well we made it there and within 5 minutes they were fixing the tire. The staff was very friendly and helpful. 10 minutes later we were ready to go and didn't spend a dime! I guess they know it more important to gain a new customer than to get $10 for repairing a tire. And that was a good move on their part since we are in the market for 2 sets of new tires.... and guess where we will be...
