We absolutely love Kitsap Tire! We have been going there for several years for oil changes, car repairs and tires. They are always super busy but still find time to get us in quickly and provide excellent service without attempting to overcharge or add on additional costs. Recently, I got a flat tire over on Bainbridge but live in Kingston. I happened to be in a dead zone on Bainbridge so I couldn't get cell service. It was pouring down rain. I was able to get a tow truck after walking several blocks to get signal. It took the tow truck a while to get to me and my tire was shot. I was soaked and tired and the tow guy got my spare on and told me to go directly to get a new tire. I drove straight to Kitsap Tire at 430pm. (They close at 5 pm). They checked my tire, it wasn't repairable but instead of making me come back and order a new tire. They had a used tire and put it on right away and I was out the door in 15 minutes for only $50.00! I can't recommend Kitsap Tire enough! read more

What a gem all around! Great service from the owner Jeff and his staff (including Max-the blue macaw parrot!). We've brought in our Thor Ace RV, MB Sprinter van, Ford F350 for tire service and have always received outstanding service... turn around time, outcome/condition, and professional advice we're A+. We're happy customers and will continue to support this wonderful, honest, hard-working family-owned business. read more

These guys are simply the best around. The job comes in ontime and correctly done. Went in for a routine service, and they found and corrected an unusual problem that I believe others would have been unlikely to find. It could have been very bad. I highly recommend them. read more

I had a very positive experience here. To make a long story short, I had some issues with tire pressure which caused my low pressure warning to trigger. It seemed like a couple tires were losing air. I scheduled at Kitsap Tire & Automotive and the soonest I could get in was the next day, but they let me keep it there until the appointment. Jeff got to it that day and figured out what happened. The tires were tested and found to be fine, it may have been one of the air compressors I was using to fill it which dropped the pressure. I wasn't charged at all for testing the tires and refilling them, and Jeff was really nice about it. I come out to this area a lot, and for sure will keep this place in mind if I need anything ^_^ thank you so much! read more

This place has been the best over several years. jeff alwayse gets the job done sooner that the estimate. They are always fair in billing. i was my own mechanic for years but getting too old and fingers don't work so well now. all my work and family work is now going to him. read more

We have taken our cars here a few times for minor things. I like that they are inexpensive and fast. I had a complicated bulb out on my truck and they managed to get it replaced for me for a very very small amount of money. They are always nice and friendly to everyone that I see come and go while waiting for me vehicle. read more

They're always good and polite to us. This is our family's go to place when we need help with our vehicles. They're trust worthy and honest. They're so good that it's quite a wait for them to get you in. They're always super busy, in a good way! Everybody in town goes to them! read more

Brought our car in for service. Had to make an appointment two days ahead of time. They did an oil change and balanced the wheels. Service rep was friendly. Only complaint was they didn't when the car was ready for pick up. The prices were fair and the service had no issues. Will be back again. read more

Russ and his guys are the best in the business. I have been taking my cars to him for over 20 years. The reason I return is that they do first rate work with great prices, and they are honest with their customers. Don't let Russ's gruff exterior turn you away, he's a big softie inside and he will make sure your car is safe and you get the best service for your money. Just make sure his pet Macaw doesn't take off your finger.... (-: No, he didn't pay me to write this. Just Sayin'... Brian W read more

They got me a tire to replace my flat pretty quickly on a Saturday morning, which I really appreciate. In the process, they "had to" break off one of my studs. There wasn't an issue with the stud when I was putting the spare on the day before, it just seemed a little tougher to unscrew that particular bolt. They were fast, but if they had spent a few more minutes trying to loosen it, they wouldn't have "had to" break it off. Now I have to get a new stud also, and they don't have mechanics in on Saturdays. Usually when I go in for a repair, I don't expect to leave needing more repairs, so I won't be heading back. read more

I really like this place. I go here for all of my mechanical needs. I like the staff, and even their parrot. They don't try to upsell you on everything and I feel that they tell you the truth when it comes to your car. I will always recommend this place to my friends and family. Go check 'em out! read more

Update: We have come back several times since the first visit. Quality control is inconsistent. It seems like some of the lower employees are pretty inexperienced. They are honest, though, and the owner is straight-forward (though can be kind of intense). read more

This place is a no brainer. If you need tires I just go here. For all my current and previous cars. They are always the fairest priced and they have always gotten the job done in a timely fashion. Recently I went tho weekend and While I waited they brewed me a kuerig coffee and I played with the parrot that lives there. Family owned business and the place is clean too... read more

Had an appointment for an oil change. I am travelling around the country and was 3500 miles from my regular guy. I looked up oil changes on Bainbridge Island and even though this guy isn't on the island I chose him because he wasn't corporate. He did it in a timely manner and was easygoing. Also checked the lights and found license plate lights were out as were the break lights. Fixed that for 6$. Also gave me credit for an online coupon that I never even knew about. read more

Went in to get the bead fixed on a flat trailer tire. Cleaned it, sealed it and checked for additional leaks all in about five minutes while being entertained by the parrot. Great service. read more

Love these guys! Had a problem with my undercarriage dragging on the ground after having been replaced at another place and I took it in to Kitsap Tires after talking to Matt on the phone. He squeezed me right in. He gave me his opinion on what he'd do if it was his car and I agreed. So his guys took the parts out and now I never have to worry about it again!! And he did not charge me for their labor! A very wonderful surprise on a cold, wet, early Monday morning! Thank you so much, Matt! I will be back for new tires when I need them! Amazing kindness and customer service! Five star service for sure! read more

I bought a hitch online and brought it here to be installed. It Turned out to be the wrong one so the guys at Kitsap tire helped me find the right one. I returned it and they installed the new one for me for a very fair price. I'm very happy with the service I got here. They are very helpful and very fair priced. I will recommend them to anyone. Thanks! read more

Awesome auto shop. Wish I knew it existed sooner so I would have took all my repairs here. Everything you'd expect from a professional ASE certified shop. read more

High integrity shop, super helpful. I brought in an old warhorse, practically limping, not sure what was needed to keep it on the road. The staff at Kitsap Tire was fantastic; they gave it a thorough inspection and told me exactly what was going on with the front and rear suspension and tires, what it would take to bring it back to health and safety, itemized each of the procedures with estimated costs--and held off on doing anything until they spoke with me on the phone. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome, given the realities of the car. Recommended highly. read more

On two separate "check engine light" occasions I got quotes from dealer service centers saying I needed X done only to have the fine gents at Kitsap Tire call BS and fix the respective issues for hundreds less. It's not really a business where you'll find massive discounts, but they do good work and you can trust that the work they do is stuff your ride really needs. I'll take trust over a deal every day of the week and twice on Sundays. read more

i made my Yelp profile today specifically to warn people to NOT recieve ANY service from Kitsap Tire. They will do a quick, sloppy job while simultaneously trying to squeeze any dollar (or hundreds) from you that they can. Save your car and your money and just go to Les Schwab. read more

I have to write an update because these guys are so fantastic!!! I've been coming here for several years now for multiple fixes and every single time they treat me with respect and are really nice when I ask stupid questions (since I know jack squat about mechanics). I dropped my car off today because I had to get an oil change and I also thought I needed new brakes. I received a call back within a few hours of them opening to tell me that I actually don't need new brakes! Other companies I have been to would have just done it and charged me. Thank you Kitsap Tire for being an upstanding business to deal with and especially to Matt for being so patient with me! I will refer anyone and everyone in need of awesome service at a reasonable price. read more

I love this place. They have kept my car on the road, when it didn't seem possible. They are always friendly, polite and when I call them with another auto problem, they get me in no matter what. My daughter has even gone in with her car, in a panic and they took great care of her, and let me pay later. I have never been up sold and always given a choice about products. I can' say enough good things about this place. The mechanics are excellent and the front staff work tirelessly to take care of the clients. Use them as often as you can, you won't regret it. read more

Bad news! We purchased a new tire last week and then drove to Idaho over the weekend. We noticed a noise coming from that tire and have just discovered that half of the lug nuts were so loose they were close to falling off! My husband just called the store and suggested that they speak to the mechanic who did the work. There was no apology, simply an 'ok'. We'll never go back. read more

As a woman in particular, I have found that it is rare to find a mechanic that does the amount of work needed to get your vehicle back in excellent shape - no more - and who doesn't do extra stuff and charge you gratuitously. The people at Kitsap Tire are honest, fair, courteous, and highly skilled. You'll never find a better mechanic. read more

Needed a battery installed quickly on a Saturday. Service was timely , priced correctly, and further checked voltage regulator. Great service at the right price, what more do you want? read more

Bunch of clowns destroyed 2 locking lug nuts with an impact gun instead of removing them by hand, then refused to correct their mistake. Good thing they don't work on aircraft! Never bothered to call to inform me, waited until I showed up to get the car to let me know that I was missing 2 nuts, and two nuts were busted off on the studs and they couldn't fix it. This was Friday morning(4/2/2010) So I get a car for the weekend that if I get a flat tire I'm screwed. Then to add insult to injury they said I'd have to pay to fix the studs! I've never taken my car anywhere else since in came out of warranty, and I purchased my tires there 6 months ago. They are the only ones that have touched those wheels. That's my thank you for being a loyal customer. read more

We called around last week looking for a good price on an oil change for our 2011 Prius. Kitsap Tire quoted $40.00. We took the car right over and after they were finished, they said 60.00. My husband told the same guy he quoted $40. over the phone and they denied doing that. Not right at all. Then this week I began hearing a rumbling noise under the car. last night I couldn't go in reverse at all. Called AAA today and Ryan from Kitsap Towing came over, jacked it up and said the person who did the oil change did not fasten the service panel back on properly and that they broke the clip that holds it up. So the panel worked its way off. Ryan promptly fixed it in the driveway. So Yay Kitsap Towing and BOO Kitsap Tire! read more

This shop is fantastic! I had originally stopped by Les Scwabb (I'm not from the area) they said they could help me and sent me on my way. A friend told me to call KItsap Tire, I did, they told me to bring my truck in. They took care of me no problem and extremely well priced. I would recommend this shop for any of the services they provide. The employees were really nice and good customer service. A REAL pleasant experience. We all know how hard it seems to be able to find in that field these days. If I lived there that's where I would always go! read more

I brought our 2002 Camry to the Kitsap Tire Center on July 8 for an analysis of what was wrong with the A/C system. There was no cooling and a light blinked on the dash. As expected, the car was kept for several hours. On returning, I was told the compressor was failing and the system clutch was not engaging. The compressor and several other parts would have to be replaced, at an estimated cost of $1,200, to get the system working again. I opted not to leave the car there for repairs at that time, in light of the high costs. Within the hour I took to the Internet to check costs of parts and stumbled onto a YouTube video that suggested testing the system relay using a borrowed relay from the horn. Suddenly my dead A/C system was back to normal. After buying a $15 replacement relay, I tested the car on a long drive. All was and is well. Based on the lack of evidence that the relay box had even been touched by Kitsap Tire Center (all the dust and engine film was undisturbed), I had to conclude they had either done a very bad and cursory check of my car's A/C system, or they didn't even really check. When I confronted Manager Jeff with this, he assured me they would never attempt to mislead a customer and said he would have a word with his mechanic. My money was refunded. Even if I give Kitsap Tire Center the benefit of the doubt, I'd still have to conclude that they aren't great at their jobs, since they didn't even test the relay. You be the judge. read more
