Modern Tire & Auto Service in
Farmington Township (CT)

As always, my availability was accommodated well, the job done quickly and efficiently, and I was out the door before I knew it. A pleasure.

I purchased 4 brand new Goodyear Assurance MaxLife® tires for my 2017 Kia Sorento SX Limited, Tire Size:235/55R19, Speed Rating:V,Load Index:101Sidewall:VSB directly from Goodyear and Modern Tire installed them on 11/24/2023. About 9 months into having them I did notice the front tires were losing some air. Although I made an appointment just before 1 year a medical emergency kept me from keeping that appointment and then I just bought one of them portable air pumps and used that for the next year. But late into 2025 I noticed that the air was definitely leaking much faster. So I brought my vehicle to Modern Tire and Stephen helped me with this issue. Basically it wasn't the tires themselves but the rim around the tires were getting debris caught into the space between the tires and the rims and the rims were not smooth and wearing out. I gave permission fo Stephen to have his crew remove all tires and either sand down the rims and make them smooth enough for the rims and tires to form a much better seal and then Modern Tire applied some kind of material to seal the tires to the rims. It's been 7 days already and there is absolutely no detectable sign of leakage and the tires are holding their air perfectly. As a side note since I did purchase them directly from the Goodyear website and although Modern tire installed them they didn't have any record of this. So I did bring in my original Goodyear tire receipt to show them and add this to their records. At least now I know that I have some kind of record with Modern Tire. I'm very pleased with the work they preformed and the time it took them to do so. While waiting I took a short walk over to the Starbuck restaurant to eat a small breakfast and play around a tiny bit on my iPhone. While walking back Steven called me to tell me the everything was done and I could come back on over. They even provided me a video of the leakage from the area between the tires and the rims. I think the price was reasonable considering they did all tires.

I wish I could rate Modern Tire as 6 stars. Brian and the entire staff are so professional . They explain everything in detail and price. I trust them in all my repairs . Highly recommend them for all your car repairs and service .

Bryan is a wonderful operator, keeps you in the loop, professional and overall good guy. Called in for appointment, got one same day, service and a few things done. Thanks guys.

Brian and his team are always ready to help! Knowledgeable, friendly, fairly priced, and accommodating! I have used their services for everything from tires to overall car maintenace, and am consistently satisfied. They are good people!

As good as it gets. Knowledgeable, honest, transparent, great communication. Best shop around. Steve and Brian are fantastic. Only place I will bring our LR & BMW

Exceptional service In and out on Saturday morning within 40 minutes to fix a slow leak/flat as a walk in on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Staff kept me updated and explained why and why they did. Got us on our way back home to Richmond VA Truly appreciate the professionalism and customer service.

Had a new set of tires installed yesterday. Bryan and his team acted professionally and did a great job !

My truck is a hot mess of need rift now. Thankfully Steven was running around checking a bit of everything for me to get me a quote. He was very friendly and professional. It looked like he was the only one around and he still went above and beyond to help me today. Ill be back soon when I have the money to complete the work I need done!

A much overdue review. I experienced excellent customer service at Modern Tire and Auto Service. I originally went for my emissions test; however, they were beyond helpful and went out of their way to make sure all of my additional concerns were addressed. Thank you!!!

We have three cars in three different price ranges and this is the only place we go to get our cars serviced and to get new tires. The staff members are very friendly and keep you informed. If they see an issue, they’ll give you an honest assessment of what may be needed and the different options that are available. Excellent customer service and very competitive prices. You will not be disappointed with Modern Tire.

Simply the best. I would not take my car anywhere else! Brian and his team are honest and get the job done right.

The service team is always friendly and courteous. The work on my vehicles has been timely and the prices very reasonable. I highly recommend the Farmington location for all of your vehicle needs.

This is a shop you can trust! I got absolutely screwed over the last time I had my brakes done. I couldn’t find anyone that would squeeze me in sooner than modern tire did! They fixed my brakes, and even made sure the car was completely safe to drive. Brian, was very reassuring and extremely nice about the entire situation and completely resolved the issue along with others. If you really want to feel safe on the road, definitely come here first

After a small appointment timing snafu, Dwayne went above and beyond to get my car serviced the same day within my own work schedule. He and the serviceman did an exceptional job with the service and their customer service. I highly recommend this trustworthy business for your car needs. A big thank you to Dwayne!

I have had the pleasure of doing business with Modern Tire & Auto Service for over +5 years. Dwayne is exceptional to deal with. They do more than sell tires. One of my cars was going on a long trip out of state for months. I wanted to have complete confidence in its performance. They gave me that. I thank Brian and Dwayne for their professionalism.

I had an exceptional experience at Modern Tire & Auto Service in Farmington , and I want to give special recognition to Dwayne for delivering truly exceptional customer service. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful. Dwayne took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me updated throughout the process, and made sure I felt confident in the work being done. It’s rare to come across someone who treats customers with this level of care and respect. The shop itself was clean, well-run, and efficient. Pricing was fair, there were no surprise charges, and the turnaround time was quicker than expected. If you’re looking for honest, reliable auto service with top-tier customer care, I highly recommend Modern Tire & Auto Service—and be sure to ask for Dwayne! I’ll definitely be returning for all future car needs.

My wife took the car for an oil change at the dealership, was told the car needed struts and brakes. She was quoted over $2k. I called Modern tires and spoke with Brian. He got me in very fast gave me a nice discount and saved me hundreds. Thank you for a quick, good quality work, and service.

Huge shoutout to Modern Tire for their fast and friendly service. Got a flat tire and they had me back on the road in no time. Professional, efficient, and genuinely helpful – couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend them for any tire needs!

Just came today to this place Modern Tire and Auto Service because of a weird sound my car was making - I am so grateful for the excellent service the 3 employees working today provided. Thanks to them, I was able to get my problem fixed very quickly, and they diagnosed and helped me in a very timely manner, and I was able to get to where I needed to get to instead of having to miss the event. Thank you for the excellent service and work! Highly recommend this place!

There was a discrepancy with making an appointment online to what actually gets sent to the shop. Apparently lessened learned try to make app directly. Always a corporate screw up. Brian made good with what I had scheduled. He’s a good guy. Team is helpful. If you set it up right it’ll go smooth.

I’ve always gone here for my emissions testing and it’s been a good experience every time, but Steven went above and beyond this time. Incredible person and employee and he completely won me over. I told him- whatever your boss is paying you, it isn’t enough! I will be coming here for all my future car needs.

While traveling for a wedding I had run over a nail which caused a small leak. After a quick phone call explaining my situation Brian and his team quickly repaired the tire and got me back on the road in 16 minutes. This kind of customer service is a rare thing these days. I'm not sure many other shops would have gone out of their way to help me the way Modern Tire did. Thanks again guys!

I have been taking my cars to Modern Tire in Farmington for tires and service work for several years. Bryan and his team provide exceptional customer service and will be honest about the issues with your car. You can trust what is being said and I have always appreciated that! They have always been able to give me a great estimate of how much time it was going to take for my car to be fixed and always contacted me with additional issues if there were any. I greatly appreciate the above average customer service and highly recommend Modern Tire for your tire and service needs!

We came here to diagnose and fix a rattling car noise we had that sounded concerning. We also took care of an oil change and replaced the brakes at the same time. The shop was very knowledgeable, friendly, quick and had fair prices. However the noise we wanted fixed was still there. We went back and they took another look again, for free and secured some plastic trim in the front wheel well they suspected as the cause. That too didn't work. We really appreciated them looking at it again, and doing something for free, but ultimately didn't solve the problem. We eventually went to another shop and found out the the ball joint of the lower control arm was visibly messed up. So not sure how this shop didn't see this problem. The new shop replaced it and the noise was gone. Things get weird from here and get worse... We ended up with a brake fluid leak during a 2hiur drive, and lost our ability to brake when we arrived. Not sure what shop is at fault here, but that could have been a major accident on a highway. On one hand this shop did the brakes, the other shop replaced the control arm, and most likely didn't have a reason to undo the brakes for that repair. Turns out the fluid leak was from the bolt at the end of the brake line not being comepeltey tightened. Also after taking a closer look at the brake replacement, it looks like the old anti-rattling clips were not replaced and making contact with the discs, creating another squeezing noise. Not sure if this part is typically replaced during this job, but seemed like it should have been. 3 stars becuase of inability to see the ball joint issue, and then potentially being responsible for not tightening the brake line. But at the same time, they were very nice, gave us a great price and discount, and work fast. Just wanted to share our story, and let y'all decide who may have been the cause of a potential disaster.

Purchased a set of 4 new tire's with installation and alignment. Excellent, professional, friendly and knowledgeable customer service from employees Anthony and Brian from start to finish. Great first experience doing business with these guys! Highly recommend and will be back for future services..

We were able to make an appointment to have my tires switched out for wife’s suv. Very friendly and courteous service. We also had a four wheel alignment. Clean and comfortable waiting area. Not far off of i84. Highly suggest Modern Tire.
