Really good service, nice people and affordable prices ...best place to buy tires and cars repairs

First off, let me emphasize that I was super excited and was recommended Hanlon's service. I brought in 4 new wheels to install on my existing tires. I was happy with the fast service and excited about my new wheels. To my fault, I took a back angle photo of the back right tire then left. Fast forward a week and not using my truck, I washed it. When I got to my wheels, I used a sponge and car soap. I see a black oily substance and scratches on the center area of one wheel. I inspected the last 3 and find all the same marks. I called Hanlon's and they told me to send photos. I did and had to call back over 30 minutes later to get a response. I was told by Rob, "the manager", that he would get back to me on the following Monday. Of course, he didn't and I had to call back. He told me he would get back to me the next day. Tuesday, 3 days after the initial call, I am given the "he's on lunch" excuse for the second time. I called again and I'm out on hold for 13 minutes and 22 seconds. Rob proceeds to say it wasn't their fault according to an online service "specialist". I then told him I'm coming in. As I drive in, I felt the hostility of 3 of his workers surrounding my truck, probably trying to justify their work was good and it wasn't them. Rob used a flashlight and inspected a couple of the wheels and proceeded to deny it. He showed me a paper of an email of someone else's wheel that was scratched and said "see, this is how our machine would've scratched them". If you're the only shop to touch my BRAND NEW $2000 WHEELS, and there's scratches on all 4 wheels in consistent locations, how can you deny my claim? Three out of 4 boxes were sealed. Long story and you've probably moved on from my review already, but think twice before going to Hanlon's. Rob has my number and he has the opportunity to correct his mistake. However he sees fit on a settlement, I'm all ears. He mentioned "refurbish" on the phone and I'm not refurbishing my brand new wheels. I support small business and local shops, but he just made me want to go commercial from now on. See you soon, America's Tire. Below are photos of 4 separate wheels with CONSISTENT markings. There was a black oily substance on them but I cleaned it off when I washed the truck. He also blamed the car wash for it read more

Terrible Service - They Destroyed My Tire and Lied About It I got a nail in my tire with only minor air leakage, so I brought my car to to Hanlon's Tire Service expecting a simple fix. Instead, they completely destroyed my tire during the repair process, leaving a massive hole--about 7 inches long. To make matters worse, they tried to lie and blame it on a "manufacturer defect." My car is only a year old, and the tires were practically new, so that excuse was both ridiculous and dishonest. Because of their incompetence, I had to hire a tow truck to take my car to a Mercedes service center. There, I had to pay nearly $600 for a brand-new tire. After thoroughly inspecting the damaged tire, the Mercedes technicians confirmed there was absolutely no manufacturer defect--the previous repair shop had simply ruined it. Despite all this, Hanlon's Tire Service refused to take responsibility or reimburse me for the damage they caused. They promised the owner would contact me, but he never did. If I could give them zero stars, I would. Their lack of professionalism, dishonesty, and refusal to take accountability is beyond frustrating. Beware - take your car somewhere else if you value your time and money. read more

I have gone to Hanlon's multiple times now. I bought tires and had oil changes and tire rotations on three different cars. The last few times simple oil changes have turned into $500 services. I don't know much about cars and I do think they probably do OK work, but I feel like I'm being up sold repeatedly and taken advantage of. I won't be going back. The oil changes change price depending on who's at the counter. I bought my tires there so the tire rotation should be free but then all of a sudden my oil change is 40 more dollars than the last time. They had trouble getting a screw off the oil pan for my jeep and that turned into over $400 by itself. I'm sorry I cannot recommend them. read more

Came in because my tire pressure was showing up low. They immediately looked at the tire, showed me what the issue was and I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. Service was top-tier. Everyone was on deck, and I will definitely go back if I need additional services. read more

These guys at Hanlon's tire will take care of you. Everytime I got a nail in my tire or flat tire I never trip because I can always count on Hanlon's tire. I also enjoy talking to the cool cats there specially Mike! Thanks read more

Great service! Had a bolt in our tire, called them up and they got us in right away. Even showed us what was in the tire! Fast service even when busy. Very well ran! read more

I've been meaning to write a review for this place - a little over a month ago I got a flat tire, a day before our drive from bay area to Los Angeles. Oh well, things happen, so I came here to get it patched. When it was done, I noticed my mud flaps were detached from my car, which was strange and wouldn't have happened if they jacked the car up properly. Whatever, I put the mud flaps back on and looked forward to our road trip the next day... Next day comes along, we're halfway on highway 5 and I started to hear loud noises coming from the suspension. I was worried I would be stranded there with my family but luckily got to LA safely and went to another mechanic. They told me my control arms were destroyed and the fix costed me $2200, the same side of the control arms where I got my tire patched... Of course I had to get it repaired to drive back safely but this wouldn't have happened if Hanlons couldn't simply find the right jack point. A simple tire repair ended up becoming a hefty price for me to pay. read more

They claim they can do something, but then they don't. They overcharged me by 50, and now they refuse to refund it--simply because they don't want to--even though it wasn't my fault. I scheduled an appointment, yet I ended up wasting my time anyway; they sent me to another shop that would charge me triple, stating that they wouldn't take any responsibility. read more

Business is booming at Hanlon's Tire Service! This business is doing so good that when you visit the office there is nobody in the lobby to greet you at all. This business is doing so good that when they saw me waiting in the lobby for over 5 minutes NOBODY came out to say "hey we'll be with you in one minute " or "we don't respect you enough to even acknowledge you." This place will never get my business. I am on my way to America's Tires which as of this writing has double the amount of positive reviews as this business. read more

We've been going to Hanlon's for any tire related issues for years. They still impress me with their fast service, and friendliness. I went in with a tire that needed a patch, without an appointment, and I was in and out in 35 minutes. I listened as the staff helped another customer get his tire covered by a warranty, and as they handled customer's phone calls. Hanlon's staff really makes me feel comfortable, the prices are good, and they don't bs you. Ladies, if going to take care of car issues is stressful for you, please know that the folks at Hanlon's are legit and helpful, and will listen and treat you respectfully. read more

The owner at this establishment is upfront and informative. I appreciate him taking time to explain and show me issues with my suspension prior to completing an alignment that would have been a waste of my money. Pricing for wheel balancing and consultation is fair. read more

Came here to align wheels after getting new tires at Costco. Was able to get it done same day without prior appointment.

Brought my car in for an alignment. Great customer service and honest. Would definitely recommend them.

Took my car to get the tires replaced and they did a great job, had the car back to me in a few hours, price was reasonable.

I walked in and was promptly and warmly greeted by Octavio, who listened attentively to my concern and took my car in right away. He told me that he'd show me my tire before fixing it, and that they did. Upon closer inspection, they found 2 nails and asked for me to come take a look. They were honest, diligent, and professional. The wait was short, and the price was great. It's nice to get the impression that someone has your best interest in mind, and that's the impression that I got here. read more

Been coming here for decades but this shop has gone downhill under new ownership. Came here to have two race tires dismounted and put on new track wheels. New guy charged me to dismount the tires (which is absurd, but whatever) and then scratched one brand new custom wheel that was still in the shipping plastic when handed to them. If you have anything remotely nice, consider another shop. read more

I had a screw puncture the tread of my 14" travel trailer tire. I wanted to get it fixed locally and quickly, so I went to Hanlon's Tire. I was immediately greeted by the gentleman at the counter, brought the tire into the waiting area and within 20 minutes, it was repaired for $30. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed at the quick, friendly service. I'd highly recommend Hanlon's Tire to others. read more

I've had to put air in my tire every couple of days. I took my car to Ford, local gas station, Cesar tire for all of them to tell nothing was wrong with my tire. Hanson found the problem!! It was the valve. Problem fixed at a very reasonable price. Not only did they fix it they checked my other tires. Staff was Excellent and professional. I'll be back and referring my friends. Thank you Hanlon y Feliz Navidad. read more

Super high quality work, upstanding owner and patient customer service! My 2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance had 2 blow-out flat tires and wrecked wheels thanks to an 65 mph encounter with a monster pothole on 101 driving in the rain in the dark. Rob and Octavio were super responsive and took great care of the car, even after a week delay due to my insurance company being slow and an additional several days of Tesla parts delivery fiasco (it's hard for non-owners to reach them, then they delivered the wrong color wheels before getting it right!) Rob got the wheels and tires fixed and alignment absolutely perfect (drives and looks even better than before the pothole!) I'm a bit of a car guy and can tell this shop really cares about the quality of their work and treating customers right! Finally, a week after the incident, Tesla still hadn't picked up the incorrect new wheels the delivered and he followed up to make sure they got their property back. Upstanding guy all around. read more

I asked my brother to bring them my car to install some new tires I got from eBay. My brother knows nothing about cars but since I was a regular customer in this place I trusted them. I purchased 4 Ohtsu tires from eBay, unfortunately the seller only shipped 3. I needed the car so I decided to proceed. The two front tires were worn out. The other two in the back still had thread. However, one of them was bulging. They decided it was an excellent idea to leave that particular tire in the car. Now I have no car to use for 4th of July. You can blame this crap to my clueless brother but this is clearly bad business practice. Why would a customer bring new tires to replace every other tire that were still usable, except for the one that is a ticking time bomb? They purposely left it out. I don't know who decided it was a good idea but if you are thinking about using this place; you have been warned. I have 5 vehicles. I have always used Hanlon's Tire Service to mount tires I bought on eBay. I would usually pay $25 per tire + disposal fee for my smaller vehicles, and sometimes they would even offer me a discount on the final price when they believe my old tires were too good to be thrown away. Well, the management certainly changed for the worse because the price went up for me. When I heard the price I told brother to ask them to help us with the price. We are all living through difficult times and there are plenty of shops in the bay so why not help a regular customer a bit? We have two more vehicles that need the tires installed. But.... They decided it was better to no budge on the price, stating that this is price they charge when people buy tires elsewhere and that the price has gone up. I have always used Hanlon's for tire installation, but these new guys certainly don't like people bringing tires to them for installation. So I ended paying more than I used to mount some cheap Ohtsu small tires for my economy car. No matter. I will not use them anymore. I will gladly take my money elsewhere. Plenty of other shops out there. This place used to be awesome. Now?? You tell me? Look at the pictures. I will be posting this same review everywhere I can. read more

Skip these guys. Used to be good but not anymore. I had 4 tires, brakes, and struts/shocks done. He said I was buying KYB shocks for the rear. About a year later I was driving down 280 in fast lane doing 80 mph and suddenly an explosion in the back of my car and it fell. Good thing I wasn't killed!! I managed to pull off and the back of my car was hanging down with just enough clearance for the tire to spin. I slowly drove to the nearest shop I could find. They said they've never seen a shock come undone from the frame like this, the connector disintegrated. They said the shock was some no-name cheap junk. I had both rear shocks replaced $400. I went back to Hanlon's and gave them the faulty shock. He had no explanation for the cheap shock not being the KYB I paid for. They didn't apologize, or offer any money, or offer any future services to make up for this disaster. NEVER again will I go to them. BEWARE!! read more

Dropped in this morning before 9am with a flat tire in my trunk. They replaced it and got me back out on the road within less than half an hour. Had to return the next day because I found out another tire had a screw in it. I was happily informed that this tire was covered under warranty. If I could give 5 extra stars, then I would. Very happy with the service! read more

I had my BMW towed into Hanlon Tire all the way from South San Jose near Morgan Hill because i had a sidewall blowout. The hole in the tire was so large that fix a flat nor slime could even touch it..I went to THREE other tire shops in San Jose and no one wanted to fix it - they all told me to get lost and that they are too busy to help me. I called Hanlon Tire in San Jose and they sold me two new tires and did an alignment - i was in and out of there in a matter of a few hours and the job was done PERFECT and at a great price! Hanlon was way cheaper than San Jose and Hanlon knows their stuff. Without Hanlon, i'd still be sitting on the side of the road stranded.. I need my car to make money and my business would be dead without it, THANK YOU Hanlon Tires!! read more

Above and beyond service. Blew a tire Sunday, called everyone monday and no one could take care or me and also was quoting me disgustingly high prices for all new tires and front brakes. I then spoke to Hanlons (after finding them on Yelp of course!!) and I got a quote and they were able to get me in the next day at 8AM. I dropped my car went for a run/workout and it was done before the quoted time....Excellent service and quote, you can trust these folks. Plenty of parking and you'll be able to celebrate with a delicious donut from *the legendary rolling pin donuts* located next door to them before or.....after you're car is finished. Much love to this shop and I appreciate y'all coming thru on a phone-calls notice!! read more

They took my car for hours said it was too rusted to do a alignment and charged me $60 and did nothing.. I had someone else look at it and they said my car was okay.. They guys are are full of shit.. read more

Efficient service, very professional staff. This was my second time at Hanlon's & I was a satisfied customer.

Just had my wheels and tires serviced on my civic si and Hanlon's came through. The service was done fast, facilities are accommodating and I was felt like I was not talked down to when asking ton of questions. Way to go Hanlon! I would highly recommend this business for all your tires and suspension needs. read more

Have been going here for 12+ years, great place, reliable and prompt. Definitely recommend!

I trust them more than the big companies. They don't try to put you together with spending more money.

Terrible service took forever to even come ask me if I needed help when there were no cars even getting worked on! They're all full of shit

Had an appointment at 8:00 when they open. I work swing shift so needed to get my tires done early. I showed up at 8 and they were closed. Customers waiting outside. 8:30 someone pulled up jumped out opened the door and then left. I asked one of the workers inside and they said the manager was " stuck in traffic". At 8:45 there was still known one to help me and others. I left and made an appointment elsewhere. Also their prices are ridiculous. They wanted to charge me 875.00 for two tires mounted balanced and installed. Bought the tires online instead. It's alittle bit of a hassle but you'll save yourself some money. I used to recommend Hanlons tire to everyone, well ...... not anymore. They lost my business. read more

I had a slow leak in one of my tires and I called the same-day to see if they had any availability to take a look at it. Rob answered the phone and fit me in. Turns out that there was a screw in my tire and it couldn't be repaired because it was too close to the sidewall. He put on my spare tire and charged me a very fair price. The only reason why I didn't buy a tire from them was because the tire was covered under warranty from another place. Fast, efficient, and upfront. Will definitely return for future services. Thanks again! read more

Hanlon's Tire Service - Screw in non-repairable area...! - Tires Near Me - San Bruno, California

Picture me; a 30-year old with a broken Wheel Central Hub Ring. Do you even know what that is? Neither did I. Regardless, with the help of some friends, I found out what it was, and looking online, I started calling places to see if anyone had them in stock. Hearing back from places, and they're asking me; "What are the measurements?" "I have no idea, I just own the vehicle." Call Hanlon's, and they tell me they can get the measurements, order the part, and install it. That was on Monday. Thursday, I get a call; the car's all done! Easy, fast, and minimal stress. Rob and the others are great, and if my car has issues they can handle, I will definitely bring my vehicle back here! read more

I recently had my a TPMS sensor on my pride and joy die on me (dead batteries). I initially brought it to the local Porsche dealership and they quoted me over $1600 to replace the sensors. Over $1000 of that quote was in labor. This seemed a bit high for something like this. So I gave Lawrence at Hanlon's a call and he quoted me $40 a wheel for labor and I just bought the OE TPMS sensor online at a fraction of the cost. Hanlon's was friendly, direct, fairly priced and super quick. I just dropped off my car on a Saturday (no appointment), went to grab some lunch and it was done before I finished my dessert! Awesome work guys! I definitely recommend this shop for all your wheel and tire needs if you feel the squeeze from the "stealerships". read more

This shop puts forth honest work and I have never felt like they were purposely trying to up-sell me anything. I spent a lot on my tires but I trust the quality of the brands they carry and the work done for installation. Definitely worth checking out. read more

This dealership is very honest. I had a flat tire, and they asked me to come in. They helped me check a few things and found the nail in the tire. read more

I've been using this business for years. They do pretty much everything for cars, and they've worked on all of ours. They are always friendly, fast, and very honest. Today I got a bigger taste of just how honest and how much integrity they have. I was ready to buy two new tires that would have run me more than $400, which was a better price than what we'd been quoted elsewhere. When I got there, Rob said he could repair one tire for $35, and that he didn't want to sell me new tires because ours were still in good condition. They made sure the pressure was good and that all four tires were balanced and I was out the door for $35. I'm very impressed by their level of integrity. We will be customers for life! read more
