TLDR; good pricing for tire repairs and TPMS replacements Went here to get my car's TPMS light checked out. I was informed that three of my sensors were dead and needed to be replaced. The team had the necessary parts and repaired all TPMS sensors in the tires within that same hour. It very quick, easy and headache free. Everyone i interacted with was very nice and welcoming. I would say it was a very good price and value considering I came and left with my issue resolved. Definitely will be back here in the future. read more

First time here but the car has been here before . Genes/ Jean's mom, Lori, greeted me warm and cozy with a welcoming hot cup of coffee make perfectly JUST for me.

My customer ticket was already drawn up. The only thing to do was relax, sip (tea) coffee and be on the way. I'll tell you, mornings are the best! You get the best part of a persons vibrancy, positivity and enthusiasm! I was recommended to visit and very much satisfied.

Every neighborhood needs an Action Al's... I'm lucky I'm a 5-minute drive from their service. I love the family atmosphere! Today I needed the smallest of services: my hubcap came off and 2 lug nuts were missing. For safety reasons I wanted those lug nuts replaced. $10 later I had my new lug nuts and 2 FREE wall calendars! read more

Action Al's Tire - Tires Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Based on my initial visit, I would give this business a 5 star rating. However, after my encounter with David today (the first time he was extremely professional, taking time to explain why the tires on our vehicle were work on the interior of the tire). Today, the Internet was down and they couldn't accept credit cards and we would have to go to a bank to get cash. Understood. However, in telling us that (after they had already began working on our vehicle), my husband advised him that they had already taken the tires off his car, so he would go get the cash once they finished. David hollered, "I don't know you!" I'm not letting you leave. So Alandis says, "Well, I can leave my credit card so you know I'm not running off!" David, in a very disrespectful tone, said "I don't know you. You aren't a regular customer." Mind you, this was our third time at this place since last weekend. And because of the conversation we had previously, I said "I will stay here while he runs to the bank, no worries!" He said "oh no you want! I don't know you either." I said "David, we were just here last weekend..."and he cut me of and said "I don't remember." As I tried to jog his memory (our conversation was unique) but he cut me off and said "you think your tough but you ain't gonna overpower me!" Shocked at his response, I said I wasn't trying to overpower him, I was trying to explain our conversation." He walked off and said "Oh, you just want to argue," then went into the back and walking to others about me as if I wasn't there." When he came back up, I said "If you have something to say, you can say it to me." Gary, his brother, offered to take Alandis to the bank (which was 2 blocks away). When it was time to pay, I said to David that I was trying to share something with him. Once he stopped to listen to what I was saying, he apologized. Once I jogged his memory of our conversation, he apologized again. My point was, how he handled that situation was all wrong. What he should have said was "Mr. Customer, I apologize but our internet is down and unfortunately, we can't accept cards at this time. There is a bank a couple of blocks from here. If you can, please go and get cash or if you need a ride, we can have someone take you." Instead, he was loud, boisterous and dismissive. Once he HEARD me, he understood and apologized again. As I said to him, "your customer is the lifeline. Without the customer, your business will cease, so you can't treat your customer any type of way." He agreed. read more

Right before making our way back to NYC, we saw one of my brand new tires had a bump on the side wall. We called Action Al since I researched they sold the manufacturer of my tires. We got on the phone with Dave. They didn't have the specific brand of tire I needed (since I was still within warranty) but he was super helpful in next steps and referred us to someone else. After an hour of calling other shops in search for the brand of tire I needed, we realized we were out of luck. We decided to call back Dave at Action Al to just get the tire replaced, and Dave was so accommodating. He also gave us a great price for everything. While we waited, we were able to have some great conversations with Dave. The place is filled with history. We were in and out within 20 minutes - which was perfect considering the 4 hour ride back home. This is such a great place. They really take care of you. We are so fortunate to have found Action Al's tire shop. read more

Dave and the Team at Action Al's is the BEST around...SIMPLY THE BEST!!! Knowledgeable, great price, selection, customer service A++++! Did I mention the BEST around, bar none! If you buy tires elsewhere, you've made a big mistake!!! read more

I'm my go to place when I need tire work. Always quick. Always fair. Great dependable place.

So I'm new to town and I blew out my tire on these rough DC roads. I called a roadside service late at night and they were not able to change my tire because my lug (I think it's called lol) it was stripped, so it required an alternate way to be removed to change the tire. I called all over DC and Maryland and no one did this process, not even Action Al's.but he provided me with someone who could do this and conveniently right behind Al's shop! So not only did I get a new tire from Al, they also fixed an even bigger issue. Thank you so much for your kindness and expertise, I appreciate all of you! read more

I noticed this morning that I had a flat, so I put some air in the tire and went to the BP down the street to get the spare put on. The mechanic at BP said I would need a new tire and after a few phone calls, Action Al's was recommended. It's so easy to get taken advantage of when it comes to car problems, so I'm always afraid of that. And strangely, a lot of the time, bigger car repair companies act as if you're an inconvenience. When I called Action Al's, they were super friendly right off the bat. David said I could come right away, and they would work within my budget. When I arrived, Gary said he would see if they could fix the flat first, and I appreciated that they weren't trying to sell me the most expensive thing possible. After determining that the tire was too messed up to be repaired, and after inspecting the rest of my car, Gary said that since my other three tires were in good condition, I would be fine just replacing the flat tire with a used tire whose tread was about the same as the other three. The price was very reasonable and I was safely back on the road in less than an hour. Really happy that Action Al's was recommended to me! read more

To say that these guys are personable is a gross understatement. I had to wait around one hour (very normal) to have 4 tires replaced on my 20 year old E320 Mercedes but was warmly welcomed and very entertained by the members of this tight knit Italian American family, so that the wait time passed rapidly. They started up in 1962 and Al the patriarch was still working there at 90 years old! Price was very reasonable ( I called around in advance to compare prices) and the customer service was quite exemplary. If you live in North West DC , as I do, it's a bit of a pain to get there but you should not hesitate. Highly recommended! Bob read more

Three years ago was my first time at Action Al's with my old car! That car had 14" tires! This time, I was back with my newer car with 17" tires! My uncle who helped me order the tires from Action Al's was with me this time! My tires were ordered weeks before and came in earlier in the week! We went in on a Saturday morning, they open at 8am! We got there about 10 minutes before 8, but they were open and took my car in! I was out of there before 8:30am! I cannot say how much I appreciate this family owned business! They are friendly and provide excellent service! I even received a recommendation for someone who does front end alignments! My car does not need it now, but I have a card for later! I will continue to come here for my tire needs! Love Action Al's! read more

Love the place! They can always work you in and I love the family atmosphere. And they have great prices.

This is my go to tire shop in dC. They consistently beat the big box stores and eBay in pricing. Also this is a family run business that employs local residents. I feel good giving them my hard earned $$ because they consistently over deliver customer satisfaction and stand behind their products. I recommend checking in with them on any tire related purchases . You will not be disappointed. Thanks again for great service for over a decade to me and my family. read more

I was recommended to this business for a tire change and balance. I appreciate the realistic timeline for service. The staff were very courteous and helpful. The only downside is that you are jot able to leave the car and come back. It is recommended to wait with the vehicle. I definitely recommend them and will visit them again! read more

These guys are awesome! I can't say enough about how great Dave and the Team are at Action Al's. They are extremely knowledgeable, honest, with fair prices and will work with you to keep you informed and to meet your needs. It's a busy place, but they will squeeze you in and take care of you - fast! They will get you back on the road quickly and safely! There's a reason they've been around so long and have such a great reputation. Highly recommend them. read more

I can't begin to say enough good things about the Action Al's team after my visit today to replace a flat tire. From the time I called and David picked up the phone til I drove off their lot with a new tire I really felt cared for and treated like I was important. David and the Action Al's team found a new tire the size and spec I needed at a price of a used tire elsewhere. I mentioned that I would have to tow my car to their shop and if I did not already have AAA on top of it, David said he would've sent his own towing contact to come get me because he knows how hard it can be to get a tow when you don't have roadside assistance. During my time at the shop the service was quick, friendly and professional. I was warmly greeted when I arrived and had multiple team members ask if I was being helped throughout my stay. The cherry on top of all this great service came when I asked that a second tire be checked for a slow leak which they found and patched at no additional charge! Action Al's has the best service and prices on tires around. Today I towed my car all the way from Alexandria, VA and in the process saved a lot of money, saved time and got great service. If you're anywhere in the DMV and need service on your tires go to Action Al's you'll be glad you did! read more

This is my go to spot when I need tires. I got 2 new tires for $250, and they reset my TPMS. It's a family business that has been in DC for YEARS. They are knowledgeable and have great customer service. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a tire. Granted, they aren't 24 hours like MAC'S, but they have more space to work on your car so they get you in and out faster. read more

Action Al's is great! I went in to address a slow leak in one of my tires on a Friday afternoon. You pull through the side of the building to the back (follow the signs), tell an employee the problem you're having, and sit in your car while they get to work. Within a half hour they'd found the leak, patched my tire, re-attached it, and had me on my way-- all for under $30. Plus, the folks inside, where you go to pay, are super friendly. I'd add that, with respect to the pandemic, they were all wearing masks and gloves, and had hand sanitizer available. I would highly recommend this business if you are having a tire issue and would go back in a heartbeat. read more

This place is really amazing. I called in the morning in inquire about tires options and pricing. I spoke with an amazing man named Gary. He gave me a lot of information for my car. When I arrived I asked for Gary and the team took complete care of me. I waited in the waiting area for about 25 minutes and I was in/out. I got 3 tires in no time. I will definitely be back soon. read more

This place is amazing I went in thinking I'd need a 2 new tires however they found a nail in tire patched and out the door 20 minutes later and hundreds of dollars cheaper love and highly recommend this great shop!!! read more

If your looking for tires this is place to go. We blew our tire when we were in washington the hotel recommended Al's and so glad they did. They are honest, quick, friendly. So if you live in Washington or are traveling and God forbid somethings happen. Give AL's a call. New and used tires of all verifies and very reasonable for your needs. read more

This family-owned business in Northeast is the absolute best. The entire staff from the mechanics to the owners are personable, extremely competent and a pleasure to do business with. The prices are extremely fair and they remember me every time I come back. They are quick and have a new tire on my car in ten to fifteen minutes every time. They are a perfect example of what a family owned business should be and I am happy to spend my money there if it means they will be around for many more years to come. read more

Got a screw in my new Tesla and the dealership said they wouldn't be able to patch it due to the location and would need to order a tire which wouldn't be in stock for at least 5-10 business days. I took my wheel over to Action Als on a Saturday morning and they took my wheel and patched it immediately with about a 15 minute wait. Super friendly staff and management team. I was so appreciative and it only cost me $25 to get back on the road. Thank you! read more

I had a slow leak and they came in right on time. They were knowledgeable, friendly and very cost effective. I recommend anyone in the Woodridge are of DC with tire trouble to stop here 1st. read more

I was told that Action Al's is a "legend." In my mind, they deserve that status. They had a replacement in stock for a damaged tire, balanced it (perfectly), and mounted it immediately. Their price is reasonable, particularly in regard to the superb service they provide. These are also friendly people running a long-standing, family-owned business. Highly recommended. read more

Simply the best experience I've ever had getting tires replaced. Four brand new tires mounted and balanced within an hour and at a very reasonable price. Bonus points for cute shop dogs and personable employees and owners! read more

This is where to go for a tire. I had a blow out and I didn't listen to people when they recommended Al's. Big mistake. The place on yelp with numerous high reviews- I pulled in and waited 45 min to be told no tire in stock would work. Now on to Action Al's -I was greeted immediately, had a comfortable waiting area, and people were SO nice. I got a great price on the tire I needed and was out of there on my way quickly. Much under an any where else in DC could do. Why? They are efficient! This is a family run business that seems to have a history in DC. So many cool photos on the wall. There is even a shop dog! Don't waste your time waiting/ having to come back after hours and settling for sub average service at other places. Action AL's. Note as a female with little car knowledge, I was treated with respect and treated fairly! read more

Action Al's Tire - The dog! Best people. Honest people. - Tires Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

You can't go wrong with this place.....family-owned, fair, honest, and the best damn prices in all of DC for tires and wheels!....Including Maryland and Virgina!! Action Al's Tires is your one-stop shop for name brand factory tires and quality custom wheels. It is one of those unique places you almost want to keep a secret because of the service and prices alone. I have been coming here for years for tires and they have yet to disappoint. I have mostly dealt with Dave when I've called but the entire family is great to work with. They have always given the best prices in town and there is no place better for service after the sale! The service is quick and given the kind of car I have, they are always able to locate/order the exact same tires....and in most cases have it available the same day! If you think you can go search online or elsewhere in the DMV to find specialty tires at a good price....you might as well not waste your time. Been there; done that. It will take days....to weeks....to get them and the prices will be inflated due to shipping. Action Al will most likely be able to get what you need and for an exceptional price compared to other tire stores; based on my experience. Here's where you know you have found a trustworthy business. Just my luck, I got a flat over the weekend on a brand new tire....that was not even a week old!! I was initially told by another tire shop, from whom I had bought the tire, that it could not be repaired. They tried to sell me another tire full price or offer a mismatched, used tire replacement for a ridiculous price. I declined and "Thank God" I did. I called Action Al, told them my situation and placed an order for a new tire based on what the other shop told me. Action Al was not only able to find a matching tire, but called me the same day to tell me the tire was available to be installed. As soon as I arrived to get the tire replaced, the technicians looked over my original tire and determined it could be patched and repaired instead of buying the new tire altogether. Talk about honesty and a huge savings?!....We are talking paying a difference here of $30 versus $250+!! Now, tell me which option would you choose? On a serious note, I was really impressed by their actions and consideration to save me money. Trust me, you don't get this type of customer service and fairness everywhere in DC. If it was solely about money for them they could have sold me on buying a new tire altogether because I was there solely for that purpose....but they didn't! That says a lot about a business personally to me and true customer service doesn't get any better than that. They repaired my existing tire and gave no fuss about the new tire that was ordered. For this, and the many other times that this place has provided exceptional service....I will continue to be a fan and give them my business. See for yourself and try them out. You can't go wrong with Action Al's Tires! read more

I'm a fan, for sure. Action Al's tires was recommended to me by another car joint that I called after busting my tire out last night - a Friday evening during an insane heat wave, worst end-of-week adventure ever! We were riding on a temp tire, and since I live in DC and work in NoVa, we wanted to get the tire fixed before the Monday morning commute. I called a few places (based on Yelp recs, of course!), several of which aren't open on the weekends. One that was actually open on Saturdays said they'd have to order the tire and could have it done on Monday. When I hesitated, they said if I wanted it done today, "Call Action Al's - they have everything". Excellent call, other guys! Action Al's was open, stocked our non-common tires (just 1!) and told us to come on by - literally, the woman on the phone, when I asked if we needed an appointment, replied, "Nope - we're open now, come on!" They set us up right away. We were in and out in under an hour. All the guys we met were knowledgeable and friendly. The current owner's father was the original Action Al. They have a huge selection of tires on site, a fun wall of local celebs (Chuck Brown got tires there), and a shy cat who apparently doesn't hang with customers but deigned to come in because it's a bit cooler inside and the dog wasn't in that day. She got ensnared by my partner, the cat whisperer, and stayed for a bunch of snuggles, causing the woman behind the counter to comment repeatedly on how amazing it was. They were working pretty hard to make sure everyone got what they needed - Stefan (the cat whisperer) and the owner had an in-depth conversation about lug nuts, bolt threading, and wrenches. Thank goodness we found them! Though, wait, now I have no excuse to stay home from work on Monday ... read more

Beware when taking your vehicle there for tires, my car was damaged by one of the employees dragging floor jacks and air gun between cars that are too closely parked. Action Al's would not take responsibility for the damage they caused to my car read more

We like to stretch out our tires. And by "stretching" - I mean we will be driving down the beltway and every slightly out of norm bump or sound puts a fear in us that the tire may have just popped and gone flat during rush hour and we'd be "those idiots" that started the traffic. So when it was finally time to give up and replace the tires - a solid 6 months after the dealership told us it was time, I proudly add - we called around to 10+ places to make sure that we were not only getting the best deal but also quality tires. Action Al's was the winner. They were better then Costco, Walmart, other yelped about recs in the area, and even better than Fort Belvoir and Quantico (even with it being tax free on the military bases). We ended up with a high quality 80K mile tire, while saving about $75 compared to the next cheapest quote. Additionally, they offer military discount and quick service. One star off for not offering alignment at the same location. While they set it up for you and it's very close, it would've been nice to be able to do it all in one place. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Action Al's. They are courteous excellent customer service from the owners to the staff. their superior service helped me out on a rainy busy day they squeezed me in with out a charge up. Their cost is reasonable, they came highly recommended by insurance company. I tried several places including three dealerships no one even cared enough to try, Action Al's said c'mon we got you, and they did. Lori is the bomb, she runs the business and doesn't mind getting in there to work and she knows TIRES!!! All I can say if you want your tires this is the place to go!!! they are it. I went to another tire place they wanted 125% mark up robbery. ACTION AL'S STAND BY THEIR NAME, ACTION!!!!! read more

They had the rare tire in stock I needed for my Audi at a fair price. Gritty neighborhood and store. Friendly owner who liked to make conversation. One star off because I expected to come in, order and get my tires put on but instead I came in ordered, and my order was not passed down to the staff for a good 15mins while the owner fielded other calls and in bantered around with staff. I had to constantly check to see if they started working on my order (had to rush and I was the first in line anyway) read more

These guys are great! My tires were slashed last night. I had a tow truck tow me to Action Al's this morning (Saturday). Lori was awesome. She gave me a price (that beat everyone else I had called and googled ), was super nice (I wasn't in the best mood), and told me to "come on down." They had someone drive me to the ATM 2 blocks down (the tow truck only took cash) as soon as I walked in. Then, they went ahead an rotated the tires (as they should) quickly and efficiently. They were super nice and got me in and out within an hour. Great prices, amazing service, and quick, superb work... What more could you ask for? I will recommend them to anyone who needs anything tire-related!! read more

I just bought my second set of tires there. I wasn't able to have them installed there, but they have access to what I was looking for (Cooper Discoverer AT3's) at a great price so I had them order them for me. They were decent enough to stay open 45 minutes late for me to pick them up on my way home. Granted, the old man (the owner?) was mad as a hornet, but his son (the guy that does the actual customer interactions) was really nice. When I say mad I mean I could hear him thrashing and swearing before I even got in the building. I just gave him some good back sass and it was okay. "Don't say anything, just pay for your tires and get out!" was my favorite line. I'm guessing it was Miller Time and I was keeping him from his High Life. Uncle Al starts to get a little torqued when he can't get home to his "medicine." Despite the outlandish old man, they stayed open and gave me a great price on a really good Consumer Reports top rated pickup tire. They get the fourth star for continuing to run a blue collar, automotive business in a city that undoubtedly makes it hard on them. After all, they're selling car tires, not bike tires. read more
