I don't usually write reviews, but Joe's Tires has truly earned one. From day one, Tito has gone above and beyond to make sure both my car and I are taken care of. Whether it's helping me find the best deal, explaining my options, answering my endless questions, or making sure I'm getting quality parts at a fair price, he's always been honest, patient, and transparent. At no point have I ever felt pressured into buying something I didn't need. Instead, he's always helped me make the decision that was best for my budget and long-term goals. Abraham is the mechanic who's worked on my car, and his workmanship has been outstanding. He installed my CarPlay system flawlessly, and every job he's done has been done with care and attention to detail. It's obvious he takes pride in his work, and that gives me confidence every time I leave the shop. Carlos has always been welcoming and professional at the front desk, making every visit smooth and enjoyable. Leo has also been incredibly kind and helpful. He's always willing to lend a hand, and on one occasion he even gave me a ride to work while my car was being worked on. Those small acts of kindness say a lot about the kind of people they are. One thing I really appreciate about Joe's Tires is their honesty. I've seen reviews criticizing pricing, but from my experience, they've always been upfront with me. Different parts, brands, and repairs naturally come with different costs, and they've consistently taken the time to explain my options so I can decide what works best for me. I've never felt misled; only well-informed. What really sets this shop apart is the way they treat their customers. Every visit has been met with professionalism, respect, and genuine hospitality. You can tell they care about building long-term trust, not just making a sale. I trust Joe's Tires with my Honda Civic, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for honest people, quality workmanship, and outstanding customer service. Thank you to Tito, Abraham, Carlos, Leo, and the entire Joe's Tires team. I truly appreciate everything you've done for me. read more

Joe's Tires - Tires Near Me - Berkeley, California

Be careful about going to this place. I called four tire repair shops for pricing of replacement tire pressure monitor and the price ranged from $80 to &$120 dollars. When I called Joe's because of their review, they quieted me $385 a tire!! When I mentioned my other quotes were $100 be said I'm getting a deal. Beware and be careful bringing your business to this place. Can't believe there are places like this place to rip off customers!! read more

The manager offered to recycle my old rims, which were in good condition, arguing that no one would want them. I knew better and within a few days sold them myself for $800. He also tried to talk me into two new rear tires when there was plenty of tread left in them, at least for another year, the way that I drive. His quote included charges such as expensive insurance. My voice makes me sound 20 years older than I am, and this could have been a factor -- little old ladies beware! read more

It would have changed more than $600 had it been at the Tesla dealer. They only charged $55 for simply removing a nail without pushing to sell other maintenance services. Honest, diligent and highly competent professionals who offered speedy service. Thank you! Highly recommended!! read more

Last night, I had a tire blowout on the 80 while heading home from SF. Luckily I drive a RAV 4 with a spare tire and was able to get home. Waking up the next morning, I needed to get it fixed ASAP! I had the Toyota tire & wheel protection and Berkeley Toyota directed me to Joe's tires as they run all tire related issues through them. Called at 8am and spoke to Carlos who went through the usual asking me if I have the plan, my car's trim, and what I'm looking for. I explained everything and Carlos provided times. I couldn't wait for tomorrow so I asked about any availability day of to which he had. I drove over, dropped off the car at 11am, spoke with Carlos who shared the process clearly and what will be done. I signed papers and went on my way. He couldn't share how long it'll take due to the Toyota financing paperwork. I get a text around 3pm saying my car is ready and I show up, pick up my car, and chat a little bit about what was done. Amazing service. They put the spare tire and jack back under the car and replaced the tire, adjusted the monitors, and polished up the wheel. Day of service, clear communication, and great patience. I ended up not paying anything due to my plan covering anything and Carlos making sure I was taken care of. Great business and highly recommend. read more

Joe's Tires - Replacement tire - Tires Near Me - Berkeley, California

Great service!! Joe's Tire's did an excellent job explaining my options so I could make an educated decision. They are very competent, courteous and professional. They also do oil changes and brakes so I got my oil changed here and asked them to check my brakes. They did a 22 point inspection and the brakes were fine (very honest assessment). Just the cabin filter needed replacing. I will definitely do the brakes later when the time comes. They even provided a video report showing I needed a new air cabin filter. Using modern tech to give customers updates, very cool. Plus, there is a clean waiting area with coffee, water, TV and phone charging station which came in handy. Carlos, Arthur and the crew were great! I highly recommend Joes Tires read more

Joe's Tires - New tire - Tires Near Me - Berkeley, California

Kind and honest people. I never hesitate to bring my car in, or refer others to go. I see some reviews from others who've had some mistakes or faulty issues, but thankfully I haven't had any of that. I'm a happy customer for many years and will continue to go. I just recently had them replace a few worn ball joints on my suspension. Easy to make appointments and they're very reliable. read more

I've gone here twice, in 2023 and in 2025, due to the good rating and convenient location. They're also friendly, prompt, and not too expensive. So why the one star rating? Because both times they made mistakes that could have caused a serious accident for me. The first time, in 2023, I exited highway 580/80 onto University Avenue eastbound. There's a chunk of asphalt missing from the off ramp, such that you hit a 3 inch section of concrete. Gotta love Berkeley roads. I hit it, and the impact made my tire go flat. I looked on Yelp, found Joe's, and limped up the road to get the tire fixed. Now I explained the situation above -- hitting a chunk of concrete at around 30 mph -- and despite this, they didn't notice that I had cracked my rim. They replaced the tire and sent me on my way. My tire always had a slow leak, and I filled it up. A few months later, I went to America's Tire Company to fix what I thought was a leaking tire. They indicated that the issue wasn't the tire, but rather the rim, which had a crack. They replaced the rim, and the leak went away. But before that fix got made, I was driving around with a rim that could have failed at any moment and caused a serious accident. Why didn't Joe's see this? Was it because they didn't sell rims? I don't know. The second time, in 2025, I had to get my two front tires replaced due to normal wear and tear. Costco Tires wasn't picking up the phone, so I I rang Joe's, they picked up and we quickly made an appointment. Now, the standard practice is for rear tires to move to the front, but unfortunately, my two rear tires were mismatched (one was Pirelli and the other Continental). I spoke with Tito at the front desk, and he said that in this case, we'll keep the mismatched tires in the back and put the two new tires in the front, so that they match and your steering will be better. I said great, thanks, especially since I'l be driving 5 hours to the Sierras on single lane roads and need to ensure that I don't drift lanes into oncoming traffic. So what does Joe's do? They put the mismatched tires in front. I pick up the car on Friday afternoon after my final work meetings are done, only to see that they did the opposite of what Tito said they'd do: the two old mismatched tires are in front, and the new matching tires are in back. I ask for them to swap the tires, but they say they can't since they'll be closing in 15 minutes. This is after I'd just paid them $870 for two tires. I drive to the Sierras, and it's one of the most stressful drives of my life, with the car drifting all over the place. Soon after, I go to a different garage and pay them to swap the new matching tires to the front, and the steering becomes much more accurate. Why didn't Joe's put the matching tires in front, as they said they'd do? I don't know. As professionals, you think they'd know that it would be better to have matching tires up front. tldr: Joe's once had me driving on an unsafe rim, and another time had me driving with unsafe steering. If you value your safety, don't go to Joe's. read more

In all my many decades, as a car owner, on this planet I have never encountered such an honest, professional and friendly crew as I encountered at Joe's Tires. And believe me they do more than tires! My car is there right this minute getting its oil and filter changed, along with a free tire rotation. Recently my wife and I took our very old BMW in due to its dramatic overheating. They gave us a detailed account of everything we needed, sending us the explanation on video being filmed under the hood. It was going to cost us a few thousand. We asked if they thought it was worth it, and they told the truth! Imagine that! For as long as I am a car owner, I will be a customer. Same for my wife. Want to give a special shoutout to Tito who is so courteous, helpful, and professional! read more

Consistent, quick and professional. Excellent communication. Always take great care of our family's vehicles.

Great service! Friendly people and mechanics are great. They take a video while inspecting the cars and share with you so you never feel like you're getting ripped off. Don't take our cars anywhere else! read more

Took my Prius over to Joe's after a Toyota 90,000 mile maintenance and was charged $124.95 for an alignment. Picked it up the same day (Aug 30th), and was told the alignment was very good. One of the sales reps then went into a story about faulty struts (even on new cars) and the need to "be careful", while recommending replacement on my Prius. I asked him about the price, and he said $600 and we set up the date (today, September 4th). When I arrived at 9AM, the computers were down so I told the clerk about my appointment to replace the front struts and left the car. At about 10AM I received a call, saying that I needed an alignment, which was badly out (computers were still down). I told him it was just done on Friday, and read him the receipt which recommended a rear shim kit, but then stated that the "Right Rear has a Shim Kit Already." I was then told only the front was aligned, and a new kit was needed because the alignment was way out. I was quoted $35 for shims and about $100 something for labor, which I agreed to. This was in addition to the Struts. When the car was ready, the invoice for the struts was $1037.85. Apparently the price I was quoted only covered the labor. The total price came to $1326.41. I was told I was given a discount after complaining that I was l quoted $600 for the struts...I was told that I must be "confused". The more serious issue was without getting the struts replaced I wouldn't have known the wheels were seriously out of alignment. Why not just inform the customer that they need shims to align the rear wheels when they're doing the work, instead of telling them that everything looks great? Interestingly, the price quoted for the "Recommend Rear Shim Kit on my Aug 30th invoice was $350, over twice what I was told it would cost in the phone call I received today (on the invoice they charged $150.95 total) Was the replacement of the struts essential (life threatening, according to Joe's). Toyota of Berkeley, in their 90,000 mile maintenance ($2656.73 after a discount) didn't seem to think so. read more

Review for tire repair only. They quickly assessed whether the repair was possible or if a replacement was needed because it was too close to the side. They provide a video via a texted link for review of their assessment. Unfortunately it was the latter for me. They offered a reasonably priced alternative. I did experience an issue where they replaced the wrong tire, not the one with the nail. It was odd because they seemed to have pointed to an undamaged part of the good tire in the video. I was able to get the replacement tire and the undamaged tire placed back on tire. They were getting ready to give me a second tire for free because at first they couldn't locate the good tire that was removed. All in all a decent experience and I would go back. read more

These guys are awesome! They are extremely thorough with their services. My first visit was for an oil change and they sent me a video of everything else that needed to be repaired or replaced with my car. I was able to schedule the additional services, as needed. Their pricing is fair and they were able to squeeze me in with very little notice. I would highly recommend Joe's Tires if you're looking for a great mechanic that won't rip you off! read more

Joe's Tires is a terrific place to go. This week they extracted a 2 inch nail from one of my tires and patched it very quickly. If you have any problems with your tires - they are very efficient, can give you good tips about driving that will help preserve your tires longer, and really nice people too! I highly recommend them. And NOT just because they are immediately adjacent to a Trader Joe's, which is of course a really nice place to hang out for 45 minutes if you need one! read more

These folks are awesome. Never oversell recommendations. Price is on par or below market. Good vibes.

So I realized my car had a very flat tire today and called around to see if I could get a same-day fix. Other places said no or were hard to get a hold of but when I called Joe's, they said they could do it and they did! I was so relieved to be able to get it taken care of and Tito and his guys did an amazing job. Honestly, going to a garage or a place that works on cars as a woman who doesn't know very much about cars is intimidating. This obviously wasn't something I could have put off for later (I would have if I could have ) so in we went. Tito was upfront, honest, and knowledgeable and which made me feel comfortable about the whole process and service. We ended up having to replace two of my tires so Tito explained AND showed me why (which was helpful so I didn't feel like I was getting taken advantage of). AND these new tires even come with a warranty that my previous tires didn't have! I'd recommend this tire shop to anyone in the area who needs a tire rotation, realignment, or replacement. I'm glad I came here and won't be anxious at all about bringing my car back for my next tire rotation. These guys are great and worth every cent. Thank you, Tito! read more

Thank you! I got a flat unexpectedly on a Saturday afternoon and saw Joes was still open. It ended up being a simple fix so they just fit me in then and had me out of there and running again in 15 minutes. Saved me a lot of hassle. And very inexpensive for the fix - great value. read more

This is the BEST place to get your tires and other car maintenance done. Tito is always kind, cordial, and professional. I always feel taken care of when I come through for my car repairs. The value can't be beat. They never give you the run around. An honest repair shop. I've been coming here for 10 plus years now. I will drive out here from Walnut Creek because they are folks I can trust. read more

Excellent service. Brake and tires services exceeded expectations. Professional, friendly, and competent.

Great service. Carlos set up my appointment and ordered a replacement tire, unfortunately the wrong one: my bad. He got the right one, right away. Quick install, and the shop went the extra mile to install the lug nut covers that I'd left hidden away in the cup holders. A nice touch and attention to detail. Everything clean and tidy, including putting the spare back in place. Top marks. read more

I went there on a Saturday morning, the place was amazing in all the right ways. Friendly, quick, great service from everyone that works there , I wish we had a place like this in my hometown. Tito Burgos was outstanding and the same goes for the whole crew ! Job well done, my compliments don't do this great tire (service shop) justice. read more

Tesla had failed me and my alignment was severely off resulting in my tire wear being very uneven. No fear because Joe's Tires fixed it well within the allotted estimate time (just over an hour vs the est. 2 hours). I even had to cut my coffee time short because they were so quick, which, as an added bonus there are tons of shops and restaurants around the area to hang out at while you wait. read more

Extra large screw in my tire; they fixed it the same day and under an hour. They repaired and rotated! The front desk guys were both nice as well. Cheers! read more

Man, calling for tires and getting quotes for tires SUCKS! Well, do yourself a favor and call Joe's tires and make the process a lot less sucky. In fact, it was a breeze. My most recent tire purchases have been pretty straightforward. I go to Costco, order the tires and it's done without any hassle. So this time I cross-referenced reviews with consumer reports. Costco doesn't carry the brand that was recommended, and tires I wanted were for my truck, and a little oversized. I like to buy locally, so I "smiled and dialed" (what's dialing??) after reading so many reviews-Joe's Tires. I told them what brand and size I wanted, and they gave me a quote. These bad boys weren't cheap, but I didn't want to settle so I special ordered them with a $100 deposit. An hour later, I got a call from Tito, confirming everything. What a guy, Tito! Really helpful and informative. He also knocked off $150 from the price I'd already agreed to, saying he appreciated my patience. The tires weren't due in for a few days and we set up an appointment, which went off without a hitch. The installer (a black guy I didn't catch his name) was also super friendly, "taking care of my baby". And Jose, the manager also helped with the transaction. Everyone was really amazing. A couple hours later the truck was done, very happy! Don't over think this. If you've read this far, stop reading and call them already. Lol read more

Joe's Tires - Continentals - Tires Near Me - Berkeley, California

See all

Ripoff. They will upsell you every time. First upsold on replacements tires promising better mileage in my 2014 Prius. Mileage went down. 4 yrs, 40 VERY gentle driving miles later they refused to repair nail damage saying I needed 4 new tires despite intact tread. Second shop inspected & repaired no problem. read more

Joes tires is amazing! They were there for me when Toyota of Berkeley referred me when I was having tire troubles. But what truly makes them amazing in my book is that, when my tired were low on air and my check tire pressure light came on, I called and they had me come over right away. They filled the air in my tires, the light went away, and they didn't charge me anything for it. That's some great neighborly kindness. I really appreciate that. Until next time. Cheers! read more

The guy I initially spoke to over the phone in the morning was really nice and patient with all of my questions while I was trying to figure out the best solution for my circumstance (hence 2 stars instead of 1). I tried to give a call back later in the day to make sure there's still availability for the tire I needed, however both times the phone was answered and got hung up right away. I'm hesitant on ever coming back as a customer, as I understand business can fluctuate a lot throughout the day and I wouldn't mind being on hold until the customers in store were served, but a customer over the phone should be given the same respect and attention. read more

If you're going to buy tires I'd suggest getting them here. Yeah you could probably find them cheaper online but then who's going to install them? Are they going to come with a rest warranty and fee rotation? Probably not. Sometimes you have to pay a little more to just have peace of mind. I like how they also operate alongside Toyota of Berkeley. I own a Toyota and it's just reassuring that they operate under one roof. They are great at customer service and will try their best to accommodate whatever it is you're looking for. Show up with a selection of tires you've spent weeks looking through online and they will do their best to get them for you. They might even have them in stock. If they can't get the ones you want they will help you out in selecting a what would be their equal. I don't usually review places that don't serve food. But they deserve it. Thanks read more

I remember calling Ken Betts Chevron Service Center asking if I could get my 2001 BMW 740iL in for an alignment. He said that the best person he can recommend is Joe's Tires. Amazing service and was detailed on what I needed and what could use an adjustment. They are really good with their work car felt amazing and did it quickly than expected. Thanks again! Will becoming here again and telling people about this spot. read more

I brought my car in with a slow leak in one of tires due to a small screw in the center of the tread. My car had also recently developed a slight wobble in the front wheels at highway speeds, that I suspected was due to a slight imbalance in the front wheels. At the shop the man at the counter told me that I probably needed new front tires, before he even looked at the car. When he did look at the car he said that they could do nothing, as the tread was too badly worn. I measured my tread depth with my tread gauge and found about 50% tread remaining on the fronts and 38% on the rear. The tire industry guidelines recommend not fixing a puncture if there is less than 20% tread left. Additionally, all my tread had worn evenly across the faces of the tires. I then went to Don's Tire in Berkeley and they had no problem in fixing the puncture and rebalancing my front wheels, with the result that my car is running smoothly at all speeds. My next set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires for the car will not be bought from this shop. read more

Had a flat tire, and decided it was time for new shoes for my Tesla. It was evening hours, so I bought tires online on Joe's website for next day delivery, and called next morning for installation appointment. They took me in the same day. Entire experience was professional, courteous and flawless. Had all 4 tires changed and car realigned (which is not straightforward with Tesla) in under 2 hours. They even changed the valve stems and caps for free. Would (and likely: will) go there again. read more

Outstanding service and turnaround time. No attempt to upsell; just a reasonable price for a reasonable ask. 10/10 on all levels.

Best tire shop in the area, Tito and Carlos are always helpful . I've never gotten a video inspection from a tire shop that's is amazing !

So ,back in August 2021 I needed some new tires ansmd I called Berkeley Toyota, the automotive voice system directed me to call Joe' s tires. I called and s heduke my appointment and met Tito over the phone. I replaced three tires on my car and then got two new tires for another car. I had the best service from Tito and his crew. The service ices is personable and they work with you to get you a price and service that is worth it. You can chose from three different levels of service options for each serive category. I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by Joe's tires. So much so that I don't take my cars to the other dealership. Joe's tires give my five star full service treatment! If you go in ask for Tito and tell them I recommend you read more

Tito was awesome. Got my company car in and out for a reasonable price and he communicated well. He made sure I got what I needed (tires and alignment) and didn't try to fluff the service or price up. Solid place for business. I will be listing this place as my companies go to for service. read more

One day my coworker came into my office and let me know that my car had a flat. I called AAA and they came out and put a temp tire on until I could get it checked out. I was recommended to Joe's Tires by Toyota of Berkeley. I arrived without an appointment to get my tire checked out. They were able to take me right away, so I went grocery shopping at Trader Joe's while waiting. They fixed my flat and got me back on the road for $29.00, much cheaper than a new tire. Joe's is a good shop, fast and a convenient location for me. Although I would rather not come back, it's good to have a good place to go if you need to. read more

My air pressure light came on again a couple days after I had filled the tires due to my front right tire being low. After re-checking, I realized the tire must have a leak. I drive into Joe's Tires straight from summer camp pick up after a very short search for places nearby-- shortly after 4pm. I expected to have to make an appointment for the next day or later in the week and also assumed I would need to replace the tire. To my surprise and delight, I was helped right away. They took the car and said it would probably be about an hour. 15 minutes later they called to say it was a simple fix-- a screw had punctured the tire and they plugged the hole and patched it up. $35 and 15 minutes?? Amazing. They have my business for our two family cars for life!! Friendly, fast, fair. read more

Joe's charges a 4% credit card fee! It's a HUGE ripoff. It's about $50 in credit card fees for four tires. Come on Joe this is ridiculous.
