My '97 Ford Explorer was not turning so well and it was grinding when I would break. Firestone in Matthews said I needed work totaling over $1500. Read reviews here and brought my car to Pineville Tire. They showed me exactly what was going on with my car and gave me a quote for $350. After they got everything taken apart to do the work they realized I was 4 wheel drive instead of 2 wheel drive so I really needed a new emergency break (which makes sense b/c I drove with that on for a couple trips) and I got out of there for just over $430.
Pros: Willing to pickup/drop off
Cons: Closed Sundays, but most mom and pop shops are I think
