Customer Testimonials

Hear from our many satisfied customers in Northeast Wisconsin. Learn why so many drivers trust their vehicles, tires and safety on the road with Matthews Tire.

They were super helpful and flexible. I was able to squeeze in my appointment for an alignment by just dropping my car off and picking it up later that same day. Great service and a great price! I would recommend them to anyone and will go to them again in the future.

— Matthew Fraley

Appleton, WI

We have been bringing both of our vehicles here for several years. Our son now uses the W. College Ave. Matthews location for both of his vehicles. We know that the team at Matthews is thorough, careful, respectful of our time and money, and interested in serving us in the best ways possible. Dave and the team at Matthews do great work, are fun to deal with and take great care of our vehicles. I couldn't recommend them any higher, on any metric that you want to us.

— Stephan Reetz

Appleton, WI

Provided timely, quality, and friendly service at a price that was attractive compared to our local dealership. Highly recommend working with the team headed by Dave Flunker, Store Manager.

— Rick Detienne

Appleton, WI

I had a rather large service order and everything was completed in a couple days. The loaner vehicle was much appreciated for that time frame. The experience was great and the work was done perfectly. My vehicle probably hasn't driven this well for 60K miles, what a positive difference! Thank you.

— Benjamin Ziemba

Appleton, WI

I have used Matthews Tire for years with all my vehicles. They have always been honest and fair with their pricing and I can trust them to do only what's needed with no unnecessary add ons. Any work is always discussed with me before working on my vehicle.

Dave Flunker was fantastic in picking up my Saab as the battery was dead in my garage and needed to be replaced. He replaced the battery and returned my vehicle. Great Service. Thank You
