Fountain Tire in Calgary, a leading tire dealer offering auto repair services and Goodyear, Dunlop and Kelly tires for cars, trucks, ATV's, trailers, farm equipment and fleets.
I grew up in Bowness, myself and my family used these guys on a semi-regular basis for all our tire needs including new tires. A year ago or so I went in for a slow leak in one of my tires, I told Jon at the time that I was aware that one of my tire sensors needed to be replaced, so the warning tire light would stay on whether the flat tire was fixed or not (just giving them a FYI to not waste... more
They didn't tighten the nuts! Brought my car in to get winter tires put on. I needed to get their winter tune-up package to jump the queue for the tires. They charged and extra $40 to take off the security nuts because I didn't have the key, which would have been fine if they had been up front about that charge. Then they charged me $40 to look at two of the spark plugs, despite not requesting... more
I've been dealing with this Fountain Tire location for many years and have always received excellent service. They've always dealt fairly and have accommodated timing and service requests for me.
Just recently I had to get a flat repaired again (nails keep blowing off the roof from a recent roof replacement, which I then drive over) and this shop agreed to extend a sale price so I could...

I was very pleased with the service provided. The counter staff are very knowledgeable and professional. I came in for a set of tires and asked for a brake inspection while the tires were off. I needed brakes and a tie rod end for my truck and the staff were more than happy to bring me in the shop and fully explain everything. They have a unique set of feeler type gauges to identify when brake... more
All of the guys that work at this particular Fountain Tire are the absolute best!
They are knowledgeable beyond compare regarding everything and anything tire related and their customer service is impeccable. Prices are competitive as well!
I would highly recommend this location!
I had a bolt as big as a loonie poked into the winter tire. I thought for sure I needed to get new one. So I called and asked how much to install a new one and when do they have stock. They asked us to drive down there and take a look first. I said there is no way u could fix that. it's too big a hole. (cuz a few months ago I had a tiny nail on my summer tire, $269 to replace @ other place).... more
Took my car in for a tire repair today. Then was told its not repairable but needs a new tire and they could order one for us. We were like, no problem. We were ready to let them order the new tire and make another appointment to have the new tire installed. When we went to pick up the car, the guy said its $50 for labour - taking the tire off and putting it back on. It really surprised us. The... more
Very poor experience here. I was excited to have a shop so close to home but will never return. The owner, John, is who I dealt with. He was abrupt, cut me off, and generally acted as though I was a nuisance to him. They had my car for three hours when they quoted 90 minutes, and weren't able to rotate my tires, which was the reason I had my car in! I felt frustrated that a 10 second fix on... more
I always get great service from these guys and won't go anywhere else. The owner Jeff is professional, approachable, friendly and helpful. His great customer service and dedication is also echoed in his staff.
Today I called and got an appointment within 4 hours, arrived 20 mins early for my appointment and my car was taken back right away. It took them about an hour to patch two tires and...

I cannot say enough good things about this location! I have been here several times over the past few years, and have been extremely satisfied every time. The owner/manager Scott bends over backward to serve customers-he once discounted the service because the parts manufacturer wouldn't cover the warranty on a technicality. In the past they have recommended a 'cheaper option' for my old car to... more
I went in for a tire repair and paid for the service. Three days later my tire was flat again. I went to Canadian tire to get it fixed again and they told me there was 3 lug nuts missing.
After taking my vehicle to have a flat tire repaired I came back and found out that they had driven the vehicle on the rim, tracked mud in the cabin on the driver's seat, and miraculously charged me extra on top of what they originally quoted. As if repairing a tire is that involved and unpredictable that they need to deviate from an original quote. My advice to other would-be customers -- stay... more
Buyer beware! I almost got ripped off for an unnecessary service that would have cost me close to $400!
I took my car in to have my winter tires put on and received a phone call later that morning saying that they were in the process of changing the tires when the notice my rear brake pads were nearly gone and needed to be replaced. They quoted $390 to replace the pads and rotors. I almost had...

Total ripped off on "EXTRA CHARGES",30 dollars to fill my tires with nitrogen ,which I don't need or want ,104 dollars to balance 4 tires ,that's 26 dollars per tire and I bought them there.20 dollars for new valve stems ,which I didn't need or want and another 10 dollars for shop supplies ? what I pay for shop rags or what? And still another 16 dollars for "LEVY" which is just another scam... more
75$ for a nail puncture repair. 30$ at OK Tire. I guess I learned never to trust a business wouldn't' gouge.
Took my vehicle in and was told I needed 3000 dollars plus work done. So I trusted them and got it done, 3 days later my high pressure oil injector went, so 1200 more and ten days in a rental later I get my truck back, two days later I notice a big oil leak so I take it back, they diagnose head gasket and rear seal leaking , but definatley not related to the work they had already performed... more
I'm probably biased on this review, as my good friend manages it. I always get my tired from here and they have wonderful service.
I had to get winter tires for my new car, I was able to have them ordered and in the shop within a day, which was awesome. They don't take appointments, it's first come first serve, which is understandable, especially with the season, they don't want to be relying...

If you want a team of mechanics you can trust, take your car here (to the Moraine Road location).
It's a little out of the way, but the guys are fantastic. They are really knowledgable techs and from knowing a couple of them personally, I can tell you that they have a great team dynamic. I like that they are honest about reporting issues to you, but don't pressure you into service or parts you...
