Kirk’s Tire

We got a flat while driving through Medicine Hat on our way to Calgary over Thanksgiving weekend while everything was closed. Someone in town recommended Kirk's for after hours availability. The technician was very nice, but very rough on our car. When he manually jacked it up he jacked it up unusually high, putting a lot of weight on the front driver's side wheel and let it drop very hard while letting it down. The tire was fixed though and we were on our way. We made it back to Calgary and on the way we noticed a shimmy while driving. After talking with a shop in Calgary, they think the shimmy is from a bend in the axle, which they think likely came from the rough treatment at Kirk's. The emergency tire repair cost $150 (quite steep, but understandable because of the situation) and now we're looking at even more cost to try and fix the problem that came from having the tire repaired. The technician who worked on our car mentioned that he had just started at Kirk's, so hopefully his work will improve with time.

Though it was the busiest time of year this shops mismanagement boggled my mind. After repeated attempts to get the tires and rims I had them order for me installed they were too busy. Then when I asked to just buy the tires and rims without install they refused. Then when I offered to just buy the rims they also refused. Sitting at Costco right now and would 100% recommend it over Kirks

Amazing prices, great tires, but get here at 6am when they open or wait at least 6 hours before you get service
