Master Lux — Petricani

Master Lux at 5/1 Petricani Street in the Râșcani district is the main centre of a chain of tyre bays and service stations, which also has sites on Muncești Road and in Comrat.

Its core business is the wheel: fitting and balancing tyres for cars and trucks, tyre repair, washing and seasonal storage of a wheel set, wheel straightening and alignment on a computerised 3D rig, trucks included. Alongside runs the shop, online and on site, with tyres, wheels, tubes, oils, batteries and car chemicals from several dozen manufacturers under direct contracts. General car servicing is a secondary line. All the centres have ample parking and a waiting area, and customers can watch the work being done.

Customer opinions are divided: there are regulars of more than ten years who praise the range and the fitters, but recent reviews complain of long queues in the tyre-changing season and about the attitude of reception staff, including when being served in Romanian.
