What an amazing customer service experience on Dec 31, 2024 at the Royson's Blythewood location by Angelo and John… thank you! While driving on I-77 north from Gilbert/Lexington near Blythewood, heading back to PA, the tire pressure monitoring system went off showing a problem with my VW GTI’s right front tire. Not thinking it was an urgent issue, I still got off at the next exit Route 21/Davis Blvd to check the tire pressure. I first stopped at QT, never got out of my car, seeing their air compressor was out of order. I went next door to the Shell station and seeing a VERY LOW tire, I attempted to fill it with air. I quickly realized it had a severe puncture and air was flowing out - I could hear the loud hissing! Not sure what to do next - thinking the day was lost, but we prayed for the best - I noticed Royson's and walked over. I met Angelo and explained the situation. He said to bring the car over. I figured it would take hours before they got to us, but within a minute of parking the car, Angelo motioned for me to pull up to the garage. He quickly assessed the situation and their ability to make a repair. He asked John to work on the tire and within a few minutes the tire was securely repaired to get us back on the road… they also checked/set the pressure on the other 3 tires. We lost maybe 15-20 minutes from our initial ETA back to PA… after a punctured tire… wow!! Best automotive repair service in more than 30 years owning cars! My wife and I felt the tire was safe the entire 9+ hour drive home. The way that morning went and how the chain of events occurred - we both believe it was a blessing to stop next to Royson's and meet both Angelo and John. Thank you Royson's. Thank you Angelo and John, many thanks and prayers to you both for a blessed 2025 and beyond!

At Royson's Automotive in Blythewood, Chapin, & Columbia, we know that in order to keep your car in good shape, it helps to know how it works. Here’s a quick rundown of a system that’s very important, but you take for granted until there’s a problem; your brakes. While there is a multitude of configurations and levels of complexity in automotive brake systems, they all essentially work the same way. Disregarding anti-lock brake systems and the like, this is how braking works in its simplest form.
