Stay away!I called this place for a price on one tire and they proceeded with the classic tire scam of needing 4 tires threatening severe damage to my vehicle because of the tread depth difference. The lady who took my call was obviously trained by a greasy tire salesman as this is a known scam. She then said I'd have to sign an agreement stating they were not liable and I said no problem. Once she finally got over her threatening sales pitch, she gave me a ridiculous price for one tire that was $150.00 more then the next highest tire dealer.If you measure 4 new tires of the same size in the circumference you will find that they are not the same and off by more then a millimeter. Further, roads are not straight and even on straight roads there is a crown. Only on a perfectly straight flat road when you drive perfectly straight and you have the same circumference tires you will see the wheel speed the same on all 4 corners of the vehicle. Wheel speed will also change depending on air pressure causing the circumference of the tires to increase or decrease. Then there are potholes and other road obstacles that will change tire wheel speed. All of this wheel speed is constantly changing while you drive, therefore if you buy a tire that is the same size (P235/75R15 for example) as the others but different tread heights you are likely not going to cause any damage to a vehicle unless the axle is a permanently locked differential (usually not street driven vehicles - only racing applications). Also, if you are worried about the slight variation in tire size due to tread you can shave the tire down or simply adjust tire pressures to accommodate the circumference change within reason (pay attention to the min / max tire pressure recommended by the OEM).In short stay away from this place or any place that tries to threaten you by needing 4 tires "or else". Even dealerships sometimes try this as the service writers have no real education other then what tire salespeople teach them or even sometimes the OEM service trainers will teach this tactic as they know it can result in money in the dealerships pockets.I worked for a tire outfit like Car-X years ago as well as a dealership both while going to school for automotive engineering. While working at these locations we were pressured to sell and often had tire salespeople giving this pitch to us in person or would have to attend tire sales training conference put on by the tire companies learning how to "teach the tire sale".Just be careful of who you trust (service people are sales people too!) and stay away from scammers like this sales lady at Car-X in Hudson.
They were very accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure my vehicle was safe for me to drive. Thanks to everyone who helped me from day one.
I had my radiator and passenger rear wheel bearing replaced. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable about what was wrong with my vehicle. I would recommend this place to my friends and family. Thank you for everything.
Cannot express my gratitude enough for the speed, efficiency & quality workmanship provided to me when I had emergent situation occur today. Adrienne consistently kept me updated on the timeline for my repairs while Trevor found a way to rearrange his schedule to complete the work that was needed on my car prior to my kids being released from school. Thank you both SO much.
I took my car here and got a brake inspection completed due to hearing a grinding noise when I pressed on the brakes. I was quoted $670 for the front pads and rotors and was told my brakes were not safe to be on the road. I decided I would ask my brother for his opinion first and left. As I was leaving, the tech who was working on my car told the other tech he tried his hardest to get me to get the work done.I ended up taking my car to a different location in town and had another brake inspection completed. All my pads and rotors were measured and turned out to be just fine. There were no longer any noises when they took my vehicle out for their test drive. I was told it was likely rust or a little debris that may have gotten in there. I was sent on my way and haven't had any issues with my brakes.I'm glad I was not talked into having any unessesary work completed.
Bought TPMS sensors from CarX and they all died within a year and half. Lifetime warranty package which cost me $119 covered none of them. I'd recommend sourcing your parts from anywhere else unfortunately.
Horrible place. Huge mark-up on parts purchased through them and they don't even use OEM parts. We had tpms sensors ($85 each) installed with a new set of tires and they failed only after 1.5 years. We purchased a lifetime warranty policy from the shop and now they want to charge us for new TPMS($165 each for theirs, note Ford OEM ones cost $83 each)sensors and labor to install them. The sensors are twice the cost of OEM ones and they will only warranty them for a year. Plus not standing by the lifetime warranty we purchased makes this place a rip off. DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE!!!! You have been warned.
I never write reviews but I'm quite upset. I have a charity auction coming up to raise money for childhood cancer in memory of my 3 month old nephew who passed away the day after Christmas (hence why this situation is very emotional for me and why I'm going public).Years ago I went to Car-X Tire and Auto in Hudson and was thrilled with the customer service I received. On Saturday, I attempted to book an appointment online. The online booking agent listed all day Monday and Tuesday available. I selected 11am on Monday, and thinking I'm good, I go about my day. Later, I get a message saying they're fully booked until Tuesday at 5. Sort of upset as this is less than 12 hours before we leave, I request the 5pm appointment on Tuesday. Confident that I, once again, had an appointment I scheduled my pre-trip planning around that. I get a message today saying they now booked 5pm as well and am I available at all later in the week. No Ma'am, No I'm not, as I mentioned in my original messages!I am going to miss my event because now all other places are booked as well. If I had known the original appointment was not available I would have looked elsewhere earlier and not been in this situation. This business took that choice away from me and are now not able to fulfill the necessary service I need to get to my destination safely.Update: they apologized for "the inconvenience" - stepping on a lego is an inconvenience, getting your sleeve wet when washing your hands is an inconvenience. My nephew no longer being in this world is a little more than an inconvenience...
Had an appointment for 11:00, was waiting there. My vehicle was not brought in to start service until 11:53. Why make an appointment for a 15 minute oil change and then wait that long to have a service done. Tires were not rotated nor was tire pressure checked.
Twice in one week, I took tires in off 2 different vehicles. Both were flat, both were unable to be plugged (both had holes on the side). Tried to sell me new tires, which they didn't have. (Not unusual vehicles) Sooo, a tire place that couldn't fix my flat or sell me a new tire on the spot. First one they still charged me $34. Second one he told me it would be $19 if fixable. But was no charge.
Got a flat tire driving to central wisconsin from MSP. Stopped in, their first response was to air up the tire to get us home, not just trying to make a sale. Unfortunately, the sidewall was shot which they noticed immediately. Luckily they had the right size tire in stock and got us on our way within the hour.
The team was helpful and made time to mount and balance 2 tires that I didn't have an appointment for. Thank you.
Car-X was the only place that would take an alignment appointment after 4:00, so kudos to them for that. When I took it in the first time, the tech that worked on it had never done an alignment like this. He had issues. He had the screen all green at one point, tried to get it better, made it all orange. He finally got someone to help him. That guy changed to a different screen, said it was good. When I left, it still pulled to the left, and had developed a shake at 55+. I made an appointment to bring it back in. I told them this at check in. I asked for a different technician to align it this time, and was told it would be someone else. The same guy as the first time brought me my keys. The shake that appeared last time seems to be gone. It still pulls to the left. Car-X didn't identify anything that needs to be replaced or is interfering with the alignment. They are also 0 and 2 for aligning it. I guess I need to take it to a real shop to get it aligned or figure out what is preventing the alignment.
I had gone to Valvoline in Hudson and had an oil change & tire rotation done. During the tire rotation something happened to the torque wrench and the tech told me it stripped the lug nut on one of my tires. They said CarX would fix it and Valvoline would foot the bill.Gary brought my car into the bay and checked it out and discovered that the lug nut was actually fine, but the stud was broken. They ordered what they needed from Autozone and got my broken stud taken care of quickly! The district manager was training in a new employee for the service desk and both of them were very friendly!I will definitely coming back for future services! Thanks for a great experience!
Car-X saved me money by letting me know I didn’t need rear brakes after being told I did. I appreciate the honesty. Their a AAA+++ business and highly recommend them to everyone.
I am so happy with, car-X tire and auto! I always, recommend all my friends to them. Great service, and so very honest. Everyone, is so nice and helpful there. Thank you all!
Exceptional experience. Brought the vehicle in and they did service in the time they said and communicated well. What made it exceptional is that my Daughter and Wife came to pick up the vehicle and my daughter's car had a low tire pressure light on. She had difficulty filling it with air at the gas station, she mentioned it to them when she picked up the vehicle and the took care of it on the spot. Thanks for taking care of them.
Made an appointment for an oil change and tire rotation. Was in and out in just over half an hpur.
Got car in and installed new tires satisfactorily.
Great experience, was very good customer service, job done in a very timely manner. I will go back for more services.
They told me stuff was wrong with my truck I just got done smh I said you didn't see all the new stuff... He said oh.. Smh horrible place. Will charged you for stuff you already had down.
Very impressed with my experience here. I needed a last minute tire change before leaving that evening for a roadtrip up north and not only did they fit me in an hour before closing without hesitation, but they also had great pricing and awesome staff! As a young woman I am often nervous about car places trying to sneak in hidden costs (which car guys have done an unfortunate amount of times), but I felt very respected here and appreciated how the staff was very thorough and fair. Would definitely recommend!
I'm really pleased every time I take my cars to Car-X in Hudson; the quality of work they do and the attention to my car's needs is always appreciated.
I bought tiers from this place. I need them rotated a service that was apart of the purchase agreement. I have called 3 times trying to schedule an appointment and they tell me they can't fit me in until next week for a 10 minute job.
I give them six stars if it was available they've been taking care of my vehicles on every trip up here from Arizona excellent work I trust no one to my new SS Camaro Car-X I did
These guys helped me out of a really tight spot... I mean I didn't know what I was going to do and I called them and they told me... and even though I was flustered and swore a little bit they kept their cool and were respectful and kind... I mean literally I wanted to jump off a bridge and the guy like talked me down basically... and I think that used to be called Tires Plus which is labeled closed permanently but they are open and I think there are now called Car-X...
Great local shop with quality mechanics for a reasonable price!
I went in last minute, my first time here, and Kris got me a new battery ASAP!! Great service!!!
Service at this store is above and beyond expectations. Chad was very supportive of our needs and did much more than I could have expected him to do to meet these needs. Such a good representative for this business!
I recently moved to WI, and drive into MN to work, and I wanted to be sure that my cars maintenance was up to date. Working with the store manager, Kris, was a great experience, I didn’t feel like I was being sold services I didn’t really need at this time. Nothing turns me off more than a pushy sales person, Kris took the time to look up my cars maintenance schedule, and went over what was due to be done and when. It was a positive experience, friendly staff, great service, I have found a reliable place in Hudson to service my car and will recommend this Car-X store to my friends and family. I would also, like to thank Hays, for is excellent service, I’ll be back for tires in the fall. Thanks again to Kris and his staff, for a great experience, you have no idea how much I appreciate having a place that I know will make sure that my car is well maintained now that I’m driving 100+ miles a day.
Was passing threw and my a/c went out. They fixed it in less than an hour and they were busy. Awesome people!
I went in for an oil change. They had a problem with the bolt that goes in the plug to my oil pan. I had him change it out and he came out to show me why which was awesome and I was really impressed. Price was right and told me to look into getting my transmission fluid replaced soon. Best service I have ever had. Will be going back and would recommend them to anyone
Tried to find a place today to fix my flat tire and every place I called said they were closed. Spoke to Chris at Car X and he was amazing! 10 minutes before they closed and I was back on the road.
Excellent Customer Service. Manager Kris gave me all options for the best pricing and I didn't feel like he was trying to make a big sale. I purchased 4 tires, new wipers, oil change and an alignment. By far the best price in the area for all my car needs. Highly recommend!!!
I am beyond impressed with this Car-X location. Kris the Store Manager, has unmatched customer service. He was patient, knowledgeable, honest, fair, and went above and beyond in every way possible. He was there every step of the way to assist me in making a big decision and the right decision when it came to replacing the engine in my daughters truck. It was a huge task to replace an engine. Kris and his staff worked very hard and had the engine in and ready to go in less than 2 days! Even worked outside normal hours of operation. After the work is done he still continues to provide follow up services to ensure everything is operating like it should. Kris takes pride in his work , and it really shows!!!!! Two thumbs way up not to just Kris but the entire staff! I’m 100% a loyal customer for all my cars service needs for life. Whether they like it or not!
I am so fortunate to have stopped at this store today 🤗. I needed an oil change, but for the past 2 years I have gone to Valvoline. Good thing I didn’t go there today because turns out, my battery needed replacing, a check that Valvoline doesn’t check for. I could have been stranded if I went somewhere else. I really appreciate the service I received and great prices. Thank you Mike and Nick for your diligence.
High quality work at a very good price! Rest assured, the manager, Kris, and his staff will take good care of you. Right before the 4th of July weekend, a Check Engine light came on my Honda CR-V , which had me quite concerned, dreading that this could be a big expense to repair. I stopped in, spoke to the friendly front desk person, Donna, and she got me practically right in for the techs to look at my vehicle. The tech, Nick, knew just what to do to fix it, and now my car is running great (no more Check Engine lights)! So relieved and pleased with their work! They are the best people to help you with what you need! And best of all, they are nice, honest, straightforward, and they offer very reasonable prices. Give them a try, you won't regret it! 5++ stars!
Great staff, great prices, great service. Kris was the only mechanic who figured out what was wrong with my husband's work utility van, after spending thousands at other places, he saved us thousands! I'm extremely thankful and would highly recommend to any and all 🤗
Fast service. Wayne went out of his way to help. A pleasant surprise that they were more like a home town mechanic then a corporate push box.
Due to the winter weather around Thanksgiving, I needed new tires for my son's vehicle. I had tried three other places in Hudson, WI, but there were no appointments available. One location said I needed to wait until after Christmas. I then stopped at CAR X Tire and Auto and talked to Jason, the Store Manager. He was very helpful in tire selection for my vehicle and within hours, I was back on the road. I told my son to use CAR X for all future oil changes and services to ensure the tires are rotated at least twice a year. I was so glad that I had stopped and found a shop that will ensure my vehicle will be kept maintained very well. I recommend CAR X to all potential customers wanting great service and tires needs for their vehicles.
