I brought my son's car in for air. Without pressuring me, they showed me bubbles on his tires and explained how they could result in blowouts. Very scary to think what might have happened if my son didn't notice and the tires blew out on the highway. Thank you to Mark and the team at Evan's Tire Encinitas for educating me on options and coming up with an affordable solution. They also needed to replace one of the tire sensors. I'm relieved and grateful that I came in today. Mark was very helpful and kind. read more

I recently stopped by Evan's Tire Shop in Encinitas for a simple flat tire repair, and I am extremely disappointed with the experience. They charged me $40 for the service, which is absolutely ridiculous considering almost every other major tire shop--like Discount Tire, Firestone, American Tire Depot, and Pep Boys--does flat repairs for completely free. When I questioned the price, their excuse was that the patches they use now cost $15 a piece. The problem? I didn't see them use a patch at all. All I saw them use was one of those cheap screw-style tire plugs to fill the hole. I would not recommend this place to anyone, and I will definitely not be coming back. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

My husband called for an appointment and the person said come in on Thursday 11AM, 10/8/2026. When he got there, they said they didn't have that appointment. The person today said he can take him. My husband had a coupon to change the oil and it was $69.99 and the person said that was for the next month which it didn't say that on the coupon. He said they would change the oil for $125. Right now online with Evans Tire Encinitas it says $69.99 Full Synthetic Oil Change valid through October 14, 2026 What up ???? Not great business read more

On July 18th my grandfather brought in his 2018 BMW X5 for an oil change. This vehicle has yearly maintenance from the dealership religiously. When it was brought in it was JUST for an oil change because It needed to be done quickly before a road trip. When it was inspected he was told that he needed: FRONT RIGHT LOWER REARWARD SUS, FRONT LEFT LOWER REARWARD SUSP, FRONT LEFT LOWER FORWARD SUSPE, FRONT RIGHT LOWER FORWARD SUSP. All of these allegedly needed to be replaced. The manager apparently said that these needed to be replaced immediately. Thinking that his car was damaged and thinking that he couldn't drive it he gave his ok for 3k worth of work. Being that this car has 63k miles and has religious maintenance I immediately felt that this was an unnecessary and unneeded repair. I reached out to the manager who was not there. I asked about the work and I was told since I was not my grandfather they couldn't speek with me. I also asked about a line item in the paperwork. It said: "Customer wishes to discard old parts" in italics. That is 100% not true. He NEVER requested that. And because of this line item there are "no parts" left to verify that the work actually needed to be done. I then left word for the manager to calls us back. He never did. I believe he was completely taken advantage of because of his age. read more

I've used this shop for about 15 years, since they were at their old location. They used to be the all around best, but have gotten too expensive since they sold out to Private Equity. Also, their parking is brutal, sharing a tiny lot with other car service shops and a Crossfit. The local staff are good and if you don't care about pricing, I would recommend, with the caveat that they tend to fear sell women, or at least my ex wife. If they're close and you're loaded, their staff are really friendly and helpful (just under a lot of pressure to upsell, not their fault) read more

They seemingly have NO PROBLEMS denting your car. Slammed a car door into mine and then just sent me on my way! And I really mean slammed, because what else kind of force does this? Parking lot is so tight that the techs probably do this all the time. Lovely... read more

We have used them for years for all four of our cars. They were closest to our house and even though their parking lot is too small, which is not their fault we would always still go there. The last time I had to take my can in for a leak and made an appointment days in advance they do not have my appointment listed. I just needed a leak test and possible new tire. While I was waiting a woman in front of me was having a hard time with her appointment. She was not comfortable with the price and wanted to speak with her husband first. The man said he could get her in TODAY. She left. Then I went for my appointment and he said, someone made a mistake and there was no appointment for me. He did not offer to get me in that day. I found it pretty unprofessional and decided to bring our business to another tire company. It's too bad that that 20 minutes lost them two customers. read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting his dad in Encinitas (we are from L.A.) on the Friday of Labor Day weekend. My VW Jetta stalled right around the corner from his house. BF's dad drove us over to Evans Tire, one of the places he takes his own Jetta for service. We spoke with Raul, who was very professional and courteous. I told him my car was leaking fuel. I was hoping it was just a fuel line that came loose. He said to bring it right over. I had my car towed there around 1:00 pm and by 2:00 pm I heard back from Evans. Raul told me the fuel line was disconnected from the fuel filter. They had reconnected it and my car was ready for pickup. In and out! I was so impressed by the quick and friendly service. Thankfully Raul already knew my BF's dad as a regular customer and he knew we were just visiting from out of town, so my car was fixed extra quickly. They could have easily put my car on the back burner, as I could see they were already very busy, but they looked at my car promptly. They also could have told me the problem was something else, something I didn't actually need like a fuel pump, but they were totally honest and up front. I respect that. I recommend Evans Tire if you are looking for friendly, professional, honest service for your vehicle in Encinitas. Thanks again, Raul! read more

My mother bought a set of tires they recommended and was told they would honor the mileage warranty if she had the car aligned. Well, after aligning the car. Her front tires wore out at about 20,000 miles on a tire with a 40,000-mile warranty. They said these tires are not rated for her vehicle's weight. If they aren't rated for this vehicle, then why would you sell them for this vehicle? They are refusing to honor their warranty or to mitigate this issue in any way. I would avoid this place like the plague. These people are dishonest, disrespectful, and will take advantage of everybody they can. read more

Stay away from evans tire. Had terrible experience at their Scripps Ranch and Encinitas. Lications in one week apart. Encinitas location: Dropped the car at 10:30 am for an 11 am appointment. Was told at 2:15 tgat it will be ready. So I decided to wait in their waiting room. At 3:00 I asked if it wax ready. Then they told me " sorry, we ordered wrong parts, new parts should arrive in 15 minutes". They said they saw sitting across from them but forgot to tell me parts were wrong. Scripos Ranch - dropped the car at 11:30 on a Saturday without an appointment to get 4 new tires and oil change. They initially told me it would take 2 hours to look at the car. I did not have a car so I killed 2 hours at a near by cafe then came back. They told me the person who is supposed to work on my car is on lunch break. It took them 3 more hours to finish the job. The front office person was rude and never apologized for the wait. It took them 5.5 hours to complete th read more

Raul was extremely helpful and hugely over delivered on his promised turn around time

I've taken my cars to this Evans for tires for the past several years and had great service and pricing the entire time. This shop has also been WONDERFUL at least three times for repairing puncture-flats, quickly and free-of-charge, even on a tire that had been purchased elsewhere. Most recently, I was badly needing a full front/rear brake pad & rotor replacement, but I was concerned about the cost and time. I stopped by to just inquire about an estimate and to talk about their financing options. Amazingly, they had openings that same afternoon! I was able to get immediate financing that will help me spread out the payments, and they finished my car by the end of the same day. I would definitely recommend this location and their staff. They always take care of me quickly and politely, and they do have good deals on tires if you watch for promotions. read more

I am nor sure what happened to this place. My first experience was spot on, great service and fast. 2nd experience different car i set up an appointment, they never ordered my tires, so it took longer than expected but still good. My last car, again, has an appointment they never ordered my tires, damaged my car, and tried to play it off as if they didn't do anything. Actually handed me the part of my rim they broke and said the mechanic wasn't comfortable putting it back on, of course not, he damaged it. I ended up taking my car to another garage, had to order new lug nuts because they stripped them, fix my rim, and bolts. When I called to complain, I was offered a hundred dollars off my next service, although the damage was hundreds of dollars. Very shady experience, definitely will not be taking any more vehicles there. Too bad, I actually liked the spot. read more

I had an amazing experience with Evans Tire. Raul knows what's needed to be done with my jeep. His team quickly diagnosed and fixed my car's issue, explained everything clearly, and charged a fair price. Their professionalism and kindness made the whole process stress-free. read more

UPDATE: I wound up contacting customer service at Sun Auto per the response I received to my review. Sun Auto put me in contact with the District Manager of Evans Tire, Tommy Myers. After chasing down Mr. Myers by phone several times, he ultimately took zero responsibility for the damage to my car while it was in their care. He refused to acknowledge that his employees pulled my car over the red line in the parking space (see photos) and jacked it up where it was susceptible to being hit. The damage was quoted at just over $2k to repair. Mr. Myers also failed to acknowledge that I should be compensated for the inconvenience and time it will now take me to get my car repaired (estimated up to 2 weeks). Ultimately my phone call ended with Mr. Myers shouting over top of me and denying any sort of compensation for his shop's negligence. If you need to contact Mr. Myers directly you can reach him at 951-691-9211 but I doubt it will do you any good. Mr. Myers needs a refresher training on customer service. My last attempt to rectify the situation was to contact Sun Auto customer service again. The agent I spoke with was sympathetic and agreed that based on the photos it looked like Evans Tire could have exercised more caution with how they parked my car. I was advised that a Manager would be in contact with me ASAP. Two days later and still complete silence from their management team. I followed up today and was told that no additional consideration would be given for their lack of duty of care. Long story short, please don't leave your car with this shop. And if you do, pray that nothing happens to your car while in their custody because you won't see a dime of compensation from them regardless of who is at fault. Apparently saving a few hundred dollars on a wheel is more important than customer loyalty. As a former repeat customer, they just lost a customer for life. read more

Roger and Raul run this store and they're great guys. Extremely knowledgeable and fair. They won't try to gouge you and they will give you all your options..

Do you like efficient service by professionals who won't take advantage of non-carspeak locals? This is your place.

Don't trust this shop with check engine light repairs. They didn't know how to fix the condition, but kept charging more and more for different parts and sensors and labor but the light kept coming back on and then the car failed smog anyway because the light came on in the test. The loud front desk fast talker guy Rahul acts like he knows everything and sounds like he's giving you a deal but he's a shister who doesn't know anything and just takes your money if he can get away with it. What a waste and hassle. Won't be going back, ever. read more

I took my car in for an alignment and I was told new brakes were also needed front & back and they could complete all the work in 1hr 15 min. It took close to 3 hours for the alignment & rear brakes and they still have not provided an accurate invoice for the work even after several days of repeated requests. I feel like I was taken advantage of. read more

Raul and his team was great I had to drop in last minute at the end of the day after I realized my tire was flat with a nail in it. They where quick to repair my flat and great customer service. read more

I called in to get a leak check as the car had water coming from it after a long drive. Raul told me to stop by. He gave me a look at the underside as we did a review and he was able to clear the issue. He made sure to check my tires as well and gave me vital recommendations for upcoming service. Raul and his team at Evan's were very professional and knowledgeable. They offer great value for tservice Not my first time here and definitely not my last. read more

We've used Evans tires for years for routine service and tire replacement on both of our vehicles. We recently moved to Carlsbad from Bay Park and switched from the Point Loma Location to the Encinitas location. The service is always consistent and good value for the money. We support local! Evans does a great job and they deserve the business over national chains. IMO. read more

Son's car needed rear brakes for a 2020 VW Tiguan. The dealer wanted $750 and Evan's tires wanted $950 -- for just the rear brakes. It is rare to see the pricing exceed the dealer. Will still check with them for tires but we won't use them for brakes. read more

Had a screw in my tire. Thought I would need new tires which would be expensive. They were able to fix it rather quickly with no real appointment needed. Within an hour probably, they pulled the screw and fixed the tire pressure in two of my tires actually and didn't cost me a penny ! These guys are good and they want to help in a generous manner. Would easily recommend. read more

I came into this place because my tire light came on while I was on the freeway and this was the closest stop. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable. They were able to fit me in right away. And I noticed that everyone who came in had some kind of good relationship established with whatever staff member that helped them. Clearly a community oriented establishment. read more

Bait & Switch? Fraud? Or simple incompetence? I'm not really sure what the answer is here but we brought our vehicle in for new tires that were still under warranty (10k miles left). We were told that we would get a 20% discount to cover the warranty. They got us in, new tires installed, checked us out and not only did we not receive the 20% discount, but they charged us more for the tires than what was listed on their website. When we brought this to their attention, they said they did not have the authority to undo the transaction and to speak with the manager the next day. We called the next day for a resolution and there has been zero communication from anyone from Evans Tire. It's been 5 days. Be careful with these folks. read more

They are very friendly and provide ultra fast service ! I had a nail in the tire and for a very very cheap price they were able to fix it l! Highly recommend for all your tire issues! read more

Went in later in the day with a nail in my tire and despite being busy the team took care of me and patched the tire within 2 hours. Sent me on my way without a charge. They're an awesome group of folks, especially the front desk/management. read more

Went there because I thought I needed a spare wheel and tire; my car didn't come with one. It was complicated cause I was going on a trip with very little room in the car. Lecnal (sorry for the spelling) checked out my car to give me an idea of how much space I needed for the tire, and then told me where I could get tire, wheel and changing tools for a reasonable price. He did this knowing there'd be no sale. In about 15K miles, I may need 3 new tires. I'll be back to this place. The place is clean, people are friendly and tires are round ... what more would you want. read more

I called a couple weeks ahead and made an appointment to have my car's tires replaced. I had been there before and I told them what tires I needed. When I showed up for the appointment, they had not bothered to order the tires. Good news is I found a less expensive and less hectic place to service my tires going forward. read more

I would not return to this location again for a variety of issues. The customer service was okay and I think the work done on my car was fine as far as I know, but the parking lot here is way too small for the number of car repair businesses in the lot. Spots are reserved for other businesses, but not this one so they double park the cars and I can see a hit and run easily happening here as another yelper experienced. I had an appointment for my oil change early in the morning and was still told it would be a 90 minute wait. Me and my car sat for an hour before they took it back. What a waste of time. The waiting area is extremely small and I was not offered so much as a bottle of water. It was cheaper than valvoline up the street with their coupon, but I'm not sure it's worth all the extra time and headache. read more

These guys are great! Affordable, trustworthy, and dependable. They helped our son with his alignment. Then recently Raul helped us with a tire repair. We first went to Discount Tire, and the line was WAY too long. We headed over to Evans and they were able to help him and provide great service! Next time, Evans will be the FIRST place we go to and not the back up plan. The biggest is not always the best! Keep up the great work, Evan's tires. read more

Great service, Raul and Alex got me in immediately and took care of my tires. Way better than discount tire who told me they couldn't get me in for 2 days.... read more
