I've been coming to this shop for years and always had great experiences, especially when the younger employee was there. He and the owner were always friendly, helpful, and never made me feel pressured. That's why what happened during my most recent visit was so disappointing. I stopped by to have air put in my tires--nothing more. While checking them, the employee noticed a nail and told me he could patch it for $45 plus a tip. That immediately seemed excessive, as tire repairs are typically much less expensive. I politely declined and said I'd discuss it with my husband before making a decision. As I was leaving, he stopped me and told me I needed to give him a tip because he had put air in my tires. I was completely caught off guard. In all the years I've been coming here, I've never been charged for air, let alone asked for a tip afterward. I could understand paying for an actual repair or service, but putting air in tires is something many shops do as a courtesy. To avoid an argument, I gave him $5, but then he told me it wasn't enough and that he deserved more because of the labor involved. At that point, I told him to call his boss because the entire situation felt inappropriate and unprofessional. It's a shame because this used to be a business I trusted and recommended. If this is now how customers are treated, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I only hope that $5 was worth losing a loyal customer. read more

They charge $35 dollars for a patch that is honestly the worst , don't bring your business here just drive the next mile and pay $15-20$ like other common places . read more

My personal tire replacement shop. Outstanding service! Shop owner is very knowledgable and does great work. read more

Went in for a simple flat repair. Easy right? Not for california tires #2. The man living in the back of the business that repaired the flat decided it was necessary to impact the lug nuts with extreme prejudice. Now I have to take half a day off work because the lugs ate seized and will likely cost me hundreds of dollars to replace at a REPUTABLE shop. Expensive amateur mistakes and the owner refuses to compensate because I dont want his guy to do the repair, lol yeah right guy. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this tire shop read more

Very fast, very friendly, they looked over the work that had just been done and showed me that the plug i had supposedly gotten was not actually. They plugged and patched the wheel and even showed me what they used. Price was as discussed/ read more

Great professional service. Got a nail on my tire and they patched it quickly. They were able to squeeze me in even when they were about to close. Will be back for additional tire service/purchase. read more

Make sure to pull into the back of the place that's where you'll find the service area. Ricky was super friendly and got back to me quick about if he had my tires in stock. He was able to get me in the same day within the hour! I was really amazed with the service he was providing especially since it was all in the same day. Great price for two used tires for my 2017 Honda accord was 60 a tire! Totally doable for this mama especially since this was not expected or I would have went for his price for the new ones. I would def come back here.. Thank you Ricky!! read more

I went to get a tire replaced after a side wall rupture. I assumed I would receive a tire less than 10 years old. When I got home, however, I discovered the tire was 14 years old! When I went back to the shop, they told me all of their used tires were that old and that they couldn't do anything to make this right. I will not be returning and encourage potential customers to check the tire age before paying. read more

Saved the day on Christmas Eve! En route to Grandmas we got a flat tire. Tire was toast but he had a used tire of the right size to get us on the way in 15 minutes at a fair price. Christmas miracle! read more

I had bought my own tire and I sent my son down the street something close by to Mount balance the tire everybody else was either 25 or 30 bucks. I figured it would be the same thing that included with discarding the old tire but this guy here likes to charge $50 almost double every other tire shop in town so no don't come here America's tire charge 30 read more

Was a great experience for me! I needed a new tire for my truck and that's usually pretty expensive for me since I'm a college student. However, I rolled up and the owner gave me a great price that didn't hurt my wallet. And the best part is that he found a perfect fit, changed and installed the tire for me in only about 15 minutes! Easiest experience I've ever had at a tire shop and I'll definitely be coming here from now on. read more

They over priced just to plug a tire charged me 25 bucks like huh ?? And then I called for a used tire should be 40 bucks said 90 that's crazy read more

These people are scams. I went here for a tire plug and bro looked me dead in my face and said $40... for a tire plug.

They will SCAM you. I called and asked for a price for a used tire. I was told $35 for tire and install. I arrived and got the tire replaced by the technician, NOT the same guy from the phone call. When I asked how much I needed to pay, the technician said $75. I told him I was quoted $35 over the phone. He then showed me a text from the guy on the phone that told him to charge me $75 and that I was arriving soon. We called the guy and he changed his story. He said "no I told you $75. We would not charge that low for a tire and install." I said no you told me $35 so he said he would go down to $70. I'm more mad at the lie. It seems like they low ball you to get you to come and then change the amount and make you feel crazy for thinking it was lower. So annoying. BE WARNED read more

Was quoted $35 to mount and balance each tire, additional $5 for tire disposal fee. No issues there or with the install. But when it came time to pay they wanted cash or would charge me sales tax on nontaxable LABOR. Sorry that's a no no in California and I will be reporting to the appropriate agencies of your illegal practices. There are better and more legal ways to incentive paying in cash. read more

$35 to plug a tire? What a joke, dont waste your time and Rude! Going rate is 15 bucks for a patch or plug plus tip of course. But yeah never again. No thank you, I could have purchased a used tired for that price. read more

I had another set of tires/rims that I wanted to swap out for the summer. The bum wanted to charge me $50 for Literally taking off the 4 tires on the vehicle and putting on the other set I brought with me. Did not require dismounting of the rims from the tires. When I asked why so much for a 15 minute task, the bum says "nothing is free." Went down the street to another shop and paid $25 for them to swap out the set of tires. Took 10 mins. Hard pass on this shop. read more

Hard-working, thorough I recommend great pricing! Every time I've been to this Tire Shop they take care of my needs ASAP

Overpriced place with a rude worker and the place looks abandoned I get overpriced there and on the other side of the street i found a better place with almost half of the price they charge me there!!! I never came back on this place because they still ask me for money after just check my tires and no one say anything about charge me to check my tires before if he talked it i will absolutely just leaving and no even doing this review read more

In and out in no time! They fixed my tire with a nail in it. I never had to leave my vehicle.

I went in to get my tire pressure sensors replaced on my car. Like many folks, especially women, I have PTSD from going to mechanics and getting ripped off. But Ricky, the owner, was great. He checked my sensors and showed me all the ones that went bad. I had to get 4 of the 5 replaced and he gave me a good price. He's very professional, patient and even-tempered. After I left, I thought there was an issue with my spare but he explained to me that what I perceived to be a problem, wasn't a problem at all! Again, Ricky was very kind, patient and explained everything. I definitely recommend him! read more

Beware of this place. It is a scam especially if they see that you have no clue about tires. I sent my son for a used tire and he got quoted $40 installed. They ended up charging my son $87 for it and when I called and spoke to Ricardo, he played dumb. Telling me no one has stopped by for a used tire. DO. OT SHOP HERE!!! read more

I have been to this location many times for tire repairs because of nails/screws in my tires. Each time I've been here the price was $25 for the repair. $25 seems a bit high, but when you're in a pinch you pay for the convenience. This morning I went for a repair and the employee quoted me $40. I had to ask again, and the quote was $40 for a nail in my tire repair. I went elsewhere and got it fixed for a fair price. This was a shame since this was my go to spot for tire repairs. Looks like I won't be returning to this location. read more

My first time here Ricky and his crew took my car in right away. Very happy with their services. Definitely recommend this place! read more

My dad's car got a flat on the freeway. I was able to get a spare put on through roadside assistance and needed a new tire for my dad. I called Ricky and he was so sweet and helpful. Told me he had the same exact brand in almost new condition. I got to the tire shop and he took the car immediately and changed the tire all within 10 minutes! Quick work, very reliable, honest people and great prices. Highly recommend calling Ricky if you need a new tire for your car. read more

i called and was promised a used tire for "a reasonable price" for Toyota Corolla. what I was offered is a tire for $65 cash. Why would I need a used tire for $65 if a new one costs $117? plus the person who was helping claimed that he doesn't speak English well. read more

Note: I am NOT posting because I am a friend of the owner. I am a complete stranger, so I'm posting because of the AWESOME service THIS business provided....for the SECOND time in one week!!!! Well, I went BACK to have my brand new tire installed today (read my previous review from 12/27/2023). Y'all, I was in and OUT in less than 15 minutes (YES!!!! NO LIE).

If you need a tire repaired or a brand new tire, PLEEEEEEEEASE come....you will NOT be disappointed!!! And, YES, I am coming BACK!!!! Message to Yelp: PLEASE POST ALL OF HIS REVIEWS!! read more

I came in this past weekday for a tire rotation. I'm just believing that's all I needed, right! Damn damn, was I wrong!!! Ricky "The Man" himself noticed while rotating the tires found an unexpected nail. So I thought to myself, "Okay, just something minor, nothing more." Naaah, the size of this lengthy ass screw a few inches away from the little nail was insane to stare at. Basically, I'm glad I came in without knowing I needed to patch 2 holes in the process! Thank you, my guy siiirr read more
