Well Derek is a good guy and he does what he can for you but one thing my brother and I have found his prices too high. If you like to stay local and not do any shopping around I guess he's the best place in Cambridge. Between my brother and I we've gone to him for Skirt kits, clear corners, shocks, springs, rims, and tires and got them all cheaper elsewhere.
Sorry Derek just telling the truth

We at Beverly Tire don't CLAIM to have the lowest prices, but can you really sacrifice a couple of dollars for superior customer service and quality products.

cheapest isn't always the best.
there is ALWAYS a price for good customer service.
a marginal increase in price is 99% of the time worth knowing that
A) you will get the support needed when you need it

Thanks for the support guys... we dont ever pretend to be the cheapest, but also not the most expensive. We try and be fair, but bottom line this is a professional business, and we have large overhead, unlike some people that sell as a registered business from their living room. I have built my business on this principal for over 18yrs now, and my best advertising comes fromword of mouth referalls. And we are here for the long run, and will stand behind what we sell... ALWAYS.

Well I'm glad to hear your customers are getting good service from your shop you must be doing something right but I still can't justify paying a $200. increase for the same brand of wheels and over $150 more for the same brand skirt kit

Keep up the good work

You might want to try reading my last post again I said "same brand" and I don't think its rocket science to get the right fitment for your car, and for the other quote you said your Mom went to put your rims and tires on your car??? did your Mom buy them for you

maybe i mistyped that...

I bought the tires and mom took them to get mounted, she came back and told me of excellent service...id get a thumbdown if my mom bought me tires? my dad blew out the one in the first place...

I think you guys are making it sound like the shop is more expensive there then it actually is. My perception is that you guys are part of a huge network of stores and have substantial buying power.

I know people that have shopped around and you have actually been the least expensive.
