These people have no clue what theyre doing. They charged $1000 for some tie rod end adjustments. I know a great mechanic who can do it for $150. Just a cash grab
The crew at Grismer on Wilmington on were fantastic. They went above and beyond to help us out when we needed new tires and they had troubles with their balancer. Things happen, often out of our/their control and the staff was responsive and eager to help without us having to beg for a solution. They followed through on all their promises, the price was great and true to what I found online. We have a large family and need safe, reliable transportation. Thanks to everyone at Grismer for their help.
I had my fleet managing company arrange the tow and the service garage. I know they called both. After 6;00 pm Friday car was towed to Grismer. Did not hear from Grismer Saturday. I called them Monday and was told they did not get any paperwork with the car so didn’t know what was wrong or who to call.They called fleet manager Monday and gave them the wrong VZiN number, Grismer was told my car was no longer in the fleet. When I spoke with Grismer I was asked if I wanted them to repair the problem and pay for it.I contacted the fleet manager and verified my car is covered, I called Grismer snd gave them a direct number to the fleet manager repair authorization team. They were authorized to replace 4 tires.I called Tuesday at 11:30 was told it would be done at 12:30. Finally received a call to pick up car at approximately 2:00.Disappointing experience
I was originally told it would be over an hour maybe more wait time. I was completely done and back on the road in 45 minutes
Wifes Pacifica got a flat tire, so I called around for a replacement. The only tire company that could provide next day service was Grismer. And after all that searching, turns out Grismer was also the cheapest. Saved money and next day service, plus excellent customer service and technicians. Highly recommend.
Im going to be honest, Ive had a few people tell me not to go to grismer, but I had a serious emergency and absolutely no time to get my flat tire changed before I had to pick up my preschooler at 10:30, they were the only place open early enough for me to even call them when i needed to find a place, and they were completely booked, with their parking lot completely full, and still said although they were completely booked they would make sure they had me out of there before 10:30 so that I could get my daughter, and they did. Very happy with this last experience
Employees where friendly and new what they were doing, service was complete I was given a birthday gift $ 25.00 off service.. they where a little high but I did get warranty on parts and labor..car ran a lot better. Thanks Grismer
I have used them several times and have been pleased each time. I typically deal with the Manager Bryan there. Very helpful and professional!
Grismer does an excellent job maintaining my vehicle for me. I drop it off for any required service, and they recommend any additional services that can keep my car running and in excellent condition. As someone who knows nothing about cars, I greatly appreciate their service.
This was truly the best experience I’ve ever had at an auto shop. I didn’t really know what the error messages on my dashboard meant, and the rep that helped me was very kind as he explained the potential issue. Many times, as a young women, I get talked down to in auto shops, but I had the exact opposite experience at Grismer. They called me every day to update me and were very honest about what repairs it really needed and what I could hold off on- I didn’t feel like they were just trying to sell me things. I’ll be using grismer again for sure!!
This is the first time Ive used Grismer in Kettering, and I was totally satisfied with their service and professionalism. Making the appointment was easy and fast (thanks, Phoebe!), they got me in on my schedule and the service writer was truly excellent. I did not, unfortunately, catch his name or I would definitely give him shout out here! All of that and at a very reasonable price! I rarely give reviews of any kind, and even more seldom give 5 stars. This visit truly deserved it! Kudos!!!👍👍👍
They always do top notch work on my car. They let me put on a baseball game I was interested in and the time went fast. I got out of there at a very reasonable price.
Came to get a headlight bulb replaced that was hard to get to. Only cost $50 & took them less than 30 minutes. Im very happy!! Thank you!!!
The staff are always friendly and informative. They offer you a ride home if you need it as well, if you don’t want to wait in their lobby.
I always feel confident when I go to grismer that I am given good advice on what is needed to keep my vehicle in roadworks condition. Fast friendly service.
They got me in very quickly, which was good for me because I was stranded in Kettering. The quote that the gentleman gave me was for 6 ft of brake line to replace at $700.00. I thought that was about $550.00 to high, so I declined the offer and fixed it myself in about 44 minutes and $25.
Pricey, but they took great care of me & my car, in a timely manner. Its difficult to come by a shop that will repair your vehicle in a timely manner, and their service is well worth the prices.
Got my oil changed and was also having a problem with something draining my battery. After running diagnostic tests on my car they found my battery, alternator and starter were in perfect working order. I appreciate the fact that being a single woman with very little car knowledge that they didnt not take advantage of me and just throw parts at my car. The store on Wilmington was honest with me which builds trust. Ill be using their shop from now on.
I had an issue with my car mat getting dirty after an oil change, but Jake went above and beyond to fix the issue! He cleaned the mat and provided free oil changes. Awesome customer service!
They are always very friendly here and explain everything that needs done and why and they are reasonably priced in comparison to other places. Updated review**still awesome people at the Wilmington pIke store in Kettering Oh, my car after leaving had a problem which was not their fault and stopped running in middle of road and they were closing. I managed to get a hold of them they came down and helped me and got my car to the gas station at a busy intersection and having it towed for me and taking care of it. They are nothing but amazing there!
We had a flat tire the morning we were leaving on vacation. I called several places that couldn’t get me in at all, or not for days. Grismer crew fixed it immediately and we’re wonderful. Less than $40 too! Thank you so much!
Excellent service and very helpful employees. Was even offered a ride home during the work! I didn’t take them up on it, but it was a very nice jesture! I found a place to confidently take my car for service!
Good staff, efficient, polite. Explains what work they will do. I am very pleased with the work they did this past Friday on short notice. Had to have my car towed there when it stopped on me Wednesday late afternoon and they were able to have fixed by Friday. Thanks Grismer.
Great people, excellent service at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.
They are very professional and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner.
I called in the morning and they said bro g it in and we will get it done today. Oil change, rotate/balance tires and alignment. Friendly and polite service.
The staff was really friendly and very patient with me. Everyone I interacted with was informative and helped to the best of their ability to get the job done in a timely manner.
I took my car in for an oil change and new wiper blades. I had made an appointment ahead of time which is the best way to do it as they get very busy. I was greeted by Phoebe, who was very pleasant and welcoming. She confirmed my appointment and told me of specials. They got my car back right away and I waited about an hour. The prices were reasonable and I would definitely recommend them!
Thanks to Brian and Phoebe for great pricing and customer service to get me in and out for my oil change/tire rotation. Great experience today.
Jay is very good. He always reviews with customers before anything started & always stresses if something needs done now or can wait for future date. Not pushy at all.
The appointment was completed in less time than I expected. The shop is beautiful and the technicians were all very professional. I’d give this store 6 or more stars if pissible
Grismer Kettering has gone above and beyond to help fix my car issue. I am very pleased with the customer service!
I have been Grimer customer for a long time but I thought I should shop around. To make a long story short non of the other shops measure up to the Grimer team. Thank you
Always quick and friendly service at a great price.
Thanks for great service. Very professional and knowledgeable. Took care of my issue straightaway easy peasie...work was done before quoted time as I waited. Thanks again!
Jake the manager is a very good guy straight to the point and has good mechanics always a good experience
I appreciate the fact I had a nail in my tire, and even though they were due to close within the hour, (2pm Sat), they saw my need for help and committed to repairing it immediately. Another business told me it would have to wait until Monday.....Your commitment to customer service and potentially sacrificing a part of your personal time off is what brings customers back.......it makes me want to come back.Thank you.
I had my car towed here after I got a flat tire and the tow truck driver was unable to repair it. They got me in right away and were very friendly. The next day, we noticed that one of the tires and have been repaired was not holding pressure and they took a look at it right away and fixed it with no problem. Again, they were very friendly and professional. On a day when nothing seemed to be going right, they were able to help us out.
They were great! Personable and down to earthLast moment, they got the car in immediately, and had it fixed in just a few hours.My daughter was freaking out, thinking shed be without a car for a few days.Thank you so much!!
I like Grismers. Im a senior and Im treated with respect. I trust John, the mechanic who works on my car.
New Grismer customer, I have been using their services for the last one year on all of my car maintenance. My car is my office so quality of repair is imperative to my business. The customer service is best in class and I am confident in the service checks they perform during my oil changes as recently they discovered I had a valve cover gasket leak and were quickly able to obtain the part and get me scheduled the same week. I love that they provide additional coupons for Grismer credit card holders and they diligently look to see if they can offer you a deal.
Really great staff. Very professional, polite and curtious. I will recommend them to all of my friends and family.
The service is always excellent. Even when our vehicle has presented very very difficult problems, they persisted through to the end to solve it. Things can be a little pricey at times but Grismer is where we take our car because we trust them.
Our 1st time here today, very clean, employees were very nice & helpful. Definitely will go back.
I always receive professional, quality service at this location.
This was my first time using this store. I live in CA however my daughter lives near the business and has her car serviced there.I was on and out in a short time and everyone was very helpful and honest.
I’ve been going to Kettering Grismer Tire for years. The customer service is top notch! Phoebe and the team at the front counter are always friendly and professional. I listened as each customer came in yesterday and every single customer was greeted as if they were old friends. I happily endorse Kettering Grismer to any of my friends looking for quality mechanics and service for their vehicles.I would tell you my favorite mechanic’s name but then you will request him too and I don’t want the competition!!! But seriously, Greg has been ahhhmazing at servicing my previous Santa Fe and my current Santa Fe.
The sales manager, Jake Walker, was excellent in his knowledge about my vehicle and tires, which I will be needing very soon. I truly appreciated the walk into the service garage to actually see the underside of my car...which is in excellent condition.Thanks Jake and team!
I had scheduled a diagnostic because my engine light had come on.This isn’t my first time at Grismer but only my second visit to this location.When I came in for the appointment, there was only one clerk. He didn’t seem particularly friendly. And then I was told it would cost $125 and take an hour and a half for the diagnostic and then longer for the repair; could they give me a ride home?😮I think the price should have been given when I made the appointment. It’s Christmas and $125 is a little steep. I didn’t have the repairs that day.I was told that I needed to have the spark plugs replaced because one was leaking but because I drive a Nissan it would cost over $500 because of where they are located.I discovered after leaving that if the spark plugs were located in a different spot and would cost so much to replace, they couldn’t have actually checked them without getting to them. And I can have them replaced cheaper elsewhere.So at this visit, I have to say I wasn’t overly thrilled with the service or pricing. This particular location is very near my house, but if I can get my free tire rotation and oil changes at any Grismer, I probably will go back to Centerville.
Great service and everyone was nice to me
Excellent service! Not pushy with business. Honest and helpful.
Very disappointed. Have used this place several times for oil changes, tire rotations, minor repairs. This time for oil change, I was told my car needed several things addressed, all total over $4000. One thing the mechanic told me was my boot needed replaced and if I wanted to wait awhile I could but it was leaking. I decided to wait on all suggested repairs until I could get another estimate. Told my wife about it and she mentioned nothing was ever in the garage floor under my car. Curiously, the very next day a small puddle of fluid appeared under my car on my garage floor. Now I seem to indeed have that small leak he referred to. He also wanted to change the air filter,I said no, I would get it and when I went to take the cover off at home, one of the bolts is missing. Too much coincidence to have my trust. I’ll take my car elsewhere.
In my experience the customer service was good and the technician who did the work on my truck did an outstanding job!! Very happy I will be a repeat customer for sure!
It was quick and the young lady knew what she was talking about, and she didnt try to sale me extra stuff i was happy with my experience there
Grismer Tire &auto Has so far saved us hundredOf dollars we have an appt on Fri the 2nd and another 300.00 will be saved, the people in the store are polite. honest, and fastWe have been going just over a year and will continue to go
Warm Welcome, great detailProvided about services requested and services needed! In and out in a very timely fashion! I look forward to using this Grismer location for future needs!
Grismers does great work on my truck. The people there, are very nice and professional and polite. They really do take care of you. Thank you!
Bryan was great as was the rest of the team out front. Very patient and knowledgeable regarding tire selection options. In and out as promised. Bringing the other vehicle in today for tires too.
Very progressional, friendly, and educated, didn’t try to push anything extra on me, and the lobby was super clean and really nice. highly recommend!
Staff is always professional and honest. Grismer in Kettering is and will always be a place I recommend to family and friends!
Jake and his team always take good care of the vehicles I bring to him.
Friendly staff took care of what we needed!
Great service and they always answer your questions.
Fast great prices friendly staff
Absolutely excellent service. They gave me an estimate on the time they needed and beat that time by 30 minutes. And they were working with other customers as well. When I left, they thanked me for coming in and also thanked me for my military service. You just dont meet people like that anymore. Highly recommend Grismer on Wilmington at Woodman.
Very friendly and quick service
We used to like this place for tires and oil changes. I took my car in to get a coolant leak checked out all it did was make the leak worse where I had to add coolant every few days instead of monthly. I was annoyed by this but at the time didnt think it was done intentionally until my mom took her car in for an oil change. It started leaking the very next day. We took it back because it had to be a loose drain plug or something but nope they want to take the whole engine apart. No thank you. We wont be back!
Best Grismer in the Dayton area.
Fast and Friendly. Great service!
Repair of a tire under warranty. We’ll done and no charge.
Very professional and courteous. Ensured my car would be ready on my schedule. Would recommend using this shop.
Great service, quick turn around. Ready when promised
Fast, reliable, friendly, professional, quality service. Will be back!
June 2020Prompt and friendly service. Their prices on repairs seem reasonable. They always are willing to answer any questions you may have about any problems that they find10/30/20Unfortunately I need to amend my review of this establishment and lower my rating! They dont deserve even one star after my experience. I had an appointment to get my car fixed and when I got there they didnt quote the same price that I had been given either on an estimate or over the phone. The guy that waited on me was rather condescending to me like I didnt know anything about cars. They acted as if it was a problem to get the car done after they had said they could. When they did take the car in after about half an hour they suddenly said that a bolt was rusty and it stripped. The bolt, however was nice and shinny. The car had been Ziebarted and there was that rust coating on the bolt. Evidently the wrong size socket was used to loosen it and they stripped off the hexes on the bolt and rounded off the corners. Now its going to take more time and money in order to get the bolt off. I had brought my own parts for the repair and they were even going to charge me the same as if they got the parts. Doubt if I ever go back to this location. My father has gone there for years and always was treated fairly. Not so much for me.
After a rough experience with the local Honda dealer, we went to this Grismer location in Kettering. The advisor went above and beyond for us. He not only researched the issue with our Odyssey transmission and found a service bulletin, but also called a local Honda dealer to discuss the issue and find out if the issue might be covered by warranty. The advisor had zero obligation to do all of this - he could have just tried to sell us a transmission instead. When I thanked him, he said they werent in the business of helping people - thats how they make customers for life. And thats what they have from us now, because they were right. We took the Odyssey back to Honda and the repair was handled at no charge. Thank you Grismer!!
They did the job. The front desk lady was not very friendly or knowledgeable about my car. She could not pronounce autobahn.
They got me in and out same day for tire issue, oil change and headlight replacement. Took 2 times to solve headlight and fluid levels but the manager made it right and gave me a free oil change on my next visit. Prices are high. I will give them another try on my 4 vehicles.
Not displeased with the quality of work performed by Grismer in Kettering, but disappointed and annoyed by the lack of social distancing and mask wearing (Ohio State regulations for all persons) both by customers and employees. Out of approximately 10 customers that came in while I was there for 45 minutes, 6 wore masks and 4 did not. Employees at the desk had masks on most of the time, and mechanics in the bays had no masks at all while working on vehicles, even when driving them into and out of bays. There is no sign on entrance door reminding customers of masks, only for social distancing in general. After getting my truck’s oil changed I wiped down as much of the interior as possible with wipes and drove home with the window open. Maybe next time I will feel safer when I take my vehicles to a dealer for service.
Made an appointment. They took my vehicle right in on time. Very friendly and professional. I purchased the 60.00 oil change with crank case cleaner...gets all the sluge out so your engine lasts longer. Ive used Grismer tire for years for maintenance. A+
Had to get brakes for my baby .....
Very satisfied with service.
Dropped off tire for repair . Work was done in less than one hr. Great service
No funny business or gimmicks. Very straightforward and to the point. Relatively quick service. Pretty busy today and got oil change in less than an hour. Would recommend 👌
Great job in fixing tire. Always helpful
What a great team they have! Thank you for the great service!
Amazing service every time! Will never take my cars anywhere else!
Honestly, I didn’t know what to do Bc I had a piece of car in my tire and Jacob from Grismer came out and just fixed it on the spot! No appointment, no charge. It was a blessing! Such a nice company and such a pleasant man ! Thank you
My car requires full synthetic oil so its difficult to find a place that doesnt charge an arm and leg for it. Grismer had the best price I could find. The service and employees was absolutely fantastic. I will definitely return.
They got me in fast. Helped me. Got me a great deal. Were super nice. Watched an employee be super sweet to a kid with their little golf area which warmed my heart. So they have great employees.
Outstanding customer support...fast, efficient and fair!
Great service at the service counter. Always very cooperative. Work done in a timely way. A customer for many years.
We had a great experience at Grismer in Kettering as we usually do. Employees are very nice and attentive and have outstanding customer service! I had my 6 year old son with me this time and one of the employees even played a quick game of putt- putt golf with him while we were waiting. We will continue to come here to get our vehicles serviced!
Excellent service great staff
Great free oil change friendly staff.
Bryan is awesome and took great care of me
Needed Tires For my Spark . I also needed brakes. Dan was very nice and took me out to my car and explained everything to me and I was back on the road in under 2 hours. The 4 free oil changes was a great surprise. Thanks Grismer.
I had gotten my oil changed at Valvoline over my lunch break. I got back to work fine, but when my husband and I were heading home later, we were about a mile up the road when my check engine light came on and the skid control indicator started flashing. We made it to up the road to Grismer, and they were able to see us quickly, figure out what the problem was (a disconnected air intake, probably resulting from when Valvoline checked my air filter), and fix it for us, all within about 20 minutes. They were even nice enough to waive the usual diagnostic fee. Thank you, Dan.
Everyone at Grismer have been wonderful in fixing my car. I cant say enough how much I appreciate there care in providing the service I needed. They are truly great!
My car was completely on its last leg when we hobbled in for repairs. it was late in the day and needed much work. I was able to pick it up the next afternoon all fixed and ready to go. a week later I needed a new tire and that was promptly taken care of. everyone was helpful and courteousto an old lady
They’ve thought of everything in their new stores. Clean restrooms,good fresh coffee, comfortable lounge. They even have a putting green. Best of all a knowledgeable, friendly staff. Rob Lowery and team are great. Keep up the good work.
