I am a long time customer of Carlos. He runs in on his family business and I enjoy talking with him. He is reasonably priced and carries good product products. I highly recommend him. I own a construction business and buy tires frequently. He's the man if you need tires. read more

Alvarez Tire - Tires Near Me - Santee, California

I thought very carefully before I write this review. I didn't want to write just at the moment of anger. Don't like to place negative reviews/comments but hopefully owner of business will use this feedback in constructive way and make it better business for everyone. When I called this business person that who answer phone call was friendly. First good impression. I explained that I had nail in my tire and needs to be fixed and asked for price. I have been told price which I was happy about and stopped by in 10 minutes after initial call. When they took tire out and they discover multiple nails were in tire and told me that cost will be double of what I have been told. I would be okay with it if they were doing right fix. After 15 minutes work, they show me strip and nails were in my tire. Price increase made sense for labor and material wise. So far everything was way to be I expected. Than when they supposedly done patching tire and collected money they told me that this tire would not get too far and I should replace with new one. New individual tire cost was around 450 according to website they showed in the office. After I ride my car a day; I saw low tire pressure alert for same tire supposedly fixed. I went to different tire shop I explained my situation and experience . Tire shop in Linda Vista re patched/ fix what supposedly can not be fixed. I have been driving my car since and it has been 2 months. I hope that my experience was not their usual and others can get better service from this business. read more

So Bex gets to her car to go to work and UGH! Flat tire. I didn't want to replace just one, but I didn't want to spend a ton of money on two. I've driven by Alvarez Tire a few times so I gave them a call. He happen to have two gently used 225/70R/17 tires in stock. Just what the doctor ordered! I drove down there (not even five minutes from home). Just one guy working by himself out of a small warehouse. Nice guy. He got right to work on Becky's car. He even finished tightening the lug nuts with a torque wrench, he didn't just impact gun the shit out of them so they are impossible to remove. Excellent work. I was out of there in less than 20 minutes for 80 bucks. Two quality Firestone tires that look almost new. Hell yeah I'll be back! read more

Such an amazing tire place! Excellent customer service and they actually care about you as a customer instead of most places that just want to sell you the most expensive thing. read more

Alvarez Tire - My poor tire! 3 nails in the same spot. I was dreading having to buy a new tire but it was fixed!!! - Tires Near Me - Santee, California

Oh, they don't get my size of used tires (205 70R15) anymore! The two guys in the office were not wearing masks despite being seated next to each other. When I came in wearing my mask, they exchanged a look and reluctantly put on their masks. It's apparent they only service people who have the same politics. read more

I had a great experience with the owner of this company. He is a real stark reminder of what true hard work is and how much passion he has. Go there and check out the owner himself doing the work. I'm impressed. Support our local small businesses. read more

I had a flat tire today call didn't know where to go so I looked up the nearest and it was Álvarez tires... Sometimes just stumble on the jewel and you don't know when you're gonna need a tire guy but I can tell you that you can depend on Alverez tire he gave me a number that I thought was undervalued So I gave him a little bit extra and I just wanted to take the time to recommend him to whoever needs tire service because it's rare when you find an honest business read more

Without a doubt - the best in the business. Been dealing with Carlos for several years now - he takes the time to explain and recommend the best tires and rims - according to your driving experience. Carlos takes the personal time to explain differences of tires and their performance. You just don;t walk into this business and get sold something that you really don't want or need. The hands-on guidance he provides is excellent - you might learn a few things if you listen to what he has to say. A 40 year professional knows what he is talking about and wants the very best for you. Highly recommend Alvarex Tires! Outstanding professional! read more

Friendly and helpful service at a reasonable price. Also one of the few places the comes up in a search for used tires in the area that actually has used tires. Yelp sells search phrases in a very misleading way so best to avoid their "recommended" results. read more

Heard many good things through friends and didn't disappoint. Did I mention low prices? Seriously this place is legit. Highly recommended to everyone. read more

Alvarez Tire - Tires Near Me - Santee, California

Friendly fast efficient and very honest compare them to the big shops will be surprised

These guys are awesome! I had a unique project I was doing with my Audi Q7...they helped me out and I am so grateful. I was referred here by a good friend and I would do the same. If you need assistance with tire/wheel packages-you won't be disappointed to work with these guys! read more

I brought in a tire for them to look at that had a small leak and he took one look at my tire and said look there is some rust on the wheel I don't want to even mess with it. I told him I'd pay for the tire to be removed and inspected I just needed it to be fixed as it had a small leak. Now if there is a reason you can't fix it, don't have he skills etc fine just tell me... I can take it to someone who knows how to fix a tire. Just don't be rude, dismissive and arrogant and just give me a valid reason you can't fix it. I don't appreciate the attitude and the unwarranted Foff attitude! I brought the tire to a place close by and they fixed it for FREE and it took him like 3 min! I tipped the guy 20$! Be nice and help me get hooked up tell me to eff off and make a brush away motion to me then get a bad review. The place I went to was just down the street at the next exit off winter gardens they are nice and extra willing to help! read more

These guys do it the right way. Applied anti-seize to every stud and torqued every lug with a torque wrench. Definitely a step above other local shops. read more

Horrible, I get here ,starts working on my truck, stops working on my truck and helps other people, not good, a lack of disrespect for my time.....DO NOT COME HERE. read more

Had a torn bobcat tire and only wanted one so I asked about a used tire but he did not have my size in stock, he found a new tire at a great price. He put the tire on quick and I was on my way. Seemed to be the type of honest hard working business that I want to support. Worth the trip to Santee. Five stars and keep up the great work. read more

The location is a no-frills warehouse but they have had a great used tire in the size I needed twice in the past few months. The first visit I had to wait for about 25 minutes. Today I was in and out in no time. Their prices are competitive with other used tire sellers, and the service is courteous and efficient. If they have the tire you need, I don't think you can do much better than Alvarez tires. read more

Great tire shop off the main road. Follow the signs to the big warehouse. They beat the other east county used tire shop price without me having to haggle! I will be coming back. Great service and out the door in 20min! New tires on hand too read more

Carlos is legit. He knows his stuff and takes the time to give you all the info you need to make an informed decision. I'm no car expert, but I drive an Audi TT and needed new tires. He sat down at his computer with me and went over the pros and cons of all my options. This is the second time I've been there. The first was for a replacement tire. When he saw what the problem was on my original tire, he showed me how it just needed a patch instead of replacement. Got outta there in 20 min for $15. Much better than the $350 the other shop wanted cuz they only were interested in replacing the whole set. C'mon!! Anyway, this guy deserves way more business. Give him a shot. He's short on staff at the moment, so if he doesn't answer the phone wait a couple min and try back, you'll be glad you did. read more

Carlos is a man of his word! I needed a couple of tires that he didn't stock, but would have them by 10.30AM the next morning. I called the next morning and the tires where there, he said bring the truck in and he would get it done while I waited. I drove over and 1/2 hour later drove out with the tires installed! I did shop around a bit and Carlos gave me the best price by $50 for the same tire when compared with several other tire shops in the area. I do recommend him! Val read more
