I'm on my 7th nail in tire in 2 years, no thanks to my new community. I realized after driving 25+ miles that I was low on air. I wasn't familiar with the area, so I used Yelp and saw positive reviews on this location. I was not disappointed. Upon arriving, it took no more than 7 minutes to find the nail, patch the hole, and fill the tire with air. The pricing is also very reasonable and the staff was friendly. I wish I lived closer as I'm sure I will have to use this service again soon :( Thank you!! read more

Excellent customer service and honesty. The quality of their work and saving my butt from multiple nails this year. Really good value for the money read more

I want to start this off by saying that I had an excellent experience here last year, when I blew a tire on Rock Creek Parkway and a tow truck dropped me off for a quick replacement. It was $80 or so for a new tire and the whole thing took maybe half an hour. I live in the neighborhood, so a few weeks ago I got a flyer on my car door offering discounts, oil changes, etc. They are clearly doing a marketing push. I need new tires and an oil change and I thought it would be perfect to take the car just a block away. I called Monday morning, explained what I was hoping for and asked if there was a good day this week to get it done. The man on the phone said to drop by whenever. When I showed up, I told the mechanic what I was there for and he quickly told me they had no Honda Civic tires in stock (which is strange, it being one of the most common cars on the road). He said "maybe tomorrow." So I went back out to the car. Then someone else stopped me and asked for a minute to make a phone call. He said he could have tires delivered by 5 pm. Okay, I said, and the oil change? Sure, after 5. He said I needed to pay for the tires before I left, so I asked -- which tires? He looked at me like I had three heads. "I will get you good tires," he said. When I asked, again, which tires, he asked me which tires I wanted. Suffice it to say, if you come here, there is no list of tires to choose from. At this point I was just done. If you want people to come here for regular maintenance, you have to have staff who can communicate with customers and you can't just tell people to show up and then not be prepared to work on their cars. This is a great place to come in an emergency, but their attempt to become a full-service mechanic is just not ready for primetime. read more

I'm happy with their service. They replaced a tire with a nail in it and they were quick and very professional. I'll be back when I need them again. read more

My nephew was here from out of town when his tire clipped a sidewalk and was damaged beyond repair. Being a Saturday night, Menla was one of the few tire places open AND the only one that had the proper tire in stock. I cannot speak highly enough of this shop. We rolled in there and about 15 minutes later were out with a new tire. The price was entirely reasonable ESPECIALLY since it was a Saturday night. I will DEFINITELY be using Menla Tire Center again. read more

The pressure in my tire kept going down and I thought the tire might need to be replaced. They checked the tire (in the blazing heat), jacked up the car, took the tire off, added air and only charged me $15! I'm always expecting to be charged more as a woman but they were super honest. And now my tire is fine. read more

I had a nail in tire. Pulled in the shop and was attended to immediately. Fast, reliable service . Price was so-so read more

I had a slow leak in my tire. I called beforehand and made sure they could accommodate me, and they have great hours, so they could! I drove right up, and they had my wheel out and replaced in minutes, for a great price. This was in pouring rain on a dark evening and I was so grateful. read more

The tire they sold me didn't last a week! And I tried calling to the place and there was never an answer

I got a flat tire yesterday and needed a plug for my tire. I was seen immediately by the employee. They were able to plug the tire and fill it with air. I was very happy with the service. Only thing is that there's no waiting area so if it's cold or hot outside you just have to deal! But I didn't really care because they saw me so fast and fixed the issue so quickly. Highly recommend! read more

Being from Texas I'm used to spending less money on used tires but I was able to get a relatively decent deal here. Stand your ground (as a woman) and you should be fine. Negotiations are possible and don't let them try to play you. read more

Excellent service! Pulled up expecting to leave my car there for at least a few hours and maybe even a couple of days. They took us right away and got tires changed in less than 30 minutes. Fast, efficient, and very professional. read more

This place is very horrible because they sold me a new tire and it went flat in 11 days and when I went back to get the tire replaced; they refused to replace it. Then I found out that the tire they sold was exactly a used tire and not a new tire. Then, when I ask to talk with a manager they lied and gave me the shop number instead and they messed up my TPMS. Horrible people and horrible service. read more

Having run over a screw, but unfortunately on the side of the tire, I needed a replacement. I found Menla through Yelp so I had the car towed there. They had my size in stock, mounted and balanced the tire in amazingly short order and I was on my way. And I found the price reasonable. read more

Cue Saturday afternoon, at a business meeting, I come and outside and DOH! not one but TWO flat tires......can you see the steam rising from my head on this cold day? Perhaps it melts the snowy sleet that is falling. Nah. Anywho, after waiting for AAA, I am towed to Menla. It is funny, I pass by this place pretty much every time that I am in DC on GA Ave. and never really noticed this at all. The folk there were able to replace my tires within half an hour and away I went. The prices were reasonable, can't complain considering my bind. The people were nice and helpful. Plus my tires came with a legit 30 day warranty. So if you're in a bind...look them up. read more

Super quick, super efficient, and super cheap! In and out in less than 15 minutes! Appears to be a family owned and operated business. We came in on a Sunday evening and there was one mechanic and he was FANTASTIC! read more

I pulled up on a Sunday with a nail in my tire and within 5-10 minutes my tire was patched and I was out of there. It was amazing! The last time this happened I went to NTB and they forced me to get a new tire and tried to get me to buy 2 new ones. So happy I found/went to Menla instead! read more

I called before going and they said that I could come right in for a tire plug. I pulled in and was serviced immediately. I was in and out in 10-15 minutes. Now it makes me wonder why it takes Costco so long...lol. They got 4-stars because I was eaten alive by the vast amount of mosquitos in their parking lot and my tire was filled to 36 PSI instead of 32. But, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again! read more

Menla Tire Center - Nail in tire... - Tires Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Fast and easy tire place. Was in and out in 10 minutes. They were fairly priced, not any negotiating or up selling. Would recommend.

Had a nail in a tire that had mostly deflated the tire. Menla fixed it very quickly (less than 15 minutes from when I arrived) and it wasn't expensive. Definitely recommend. read more

I knew I had a slow leak after filling a particular tire a few times over the last week. Menla had found the offending nail and fixed the leak in about 20 minutes without any difficulty at all. The price of $25 is about what I have paid for this same service over many years. Very pleased. read more

Just had a tire patched. Super quick and even checked the tire pressure in the other three tires. Good stuff!

Herman, Thanks for servicing my tire and helping me with the replacement of my new TPM stem. :) Glad I decided to give your tire shop a try. Both times I visited your shop you were very professional, proficient, fast and friendly. Keep up the great work! read more

Above and beyond! Took a car here for the second time today and after realizing they couldn't fix the problem, Mike(the owner) drove me to Autozone, bought the parts for me(they were super cheap and I offered to pay but still), and then found a mechanic in the parking lot to come to the tire center and fix the car at a cheap price. I had towed the car there, so the fact that they not only cut out the work of having to find a mechanic and order parts, but also allowed the work to be done at their place by a third party, so I wouldn't have to tow it again, was so helpful and saved me a lot of time and money. Also, the first time I took my car here, I thought my tires needed patched and they realized they actually needed resealed on the rim and did it for a great price. Second time leaving impressed and satisfied with the service! read more

Excellent customer service and responsive auto-care. I was greeted, had time to explain my issue, and was sent on my way with a fixed car in less than 45 minutes. I'll be right back if I have any other issue! - Alieu Kamara III read more

As others have mentioned: great service, courteous, and immediate resolution to my slow leaking tire. Steven quickly found the nail in my tread and did the work associated with a plug. I was so pleased by him - his attention, mannerisms, etc - that I asked about the Center replacing all of my tires! Definitely a great find! read more

These guys seem to be very good...with tires. But they diagnosed my slow leak as a problem with the auto-sensor valve (part of the rim...not the tire), which they offered to replace (I had to buy a new sensor at the car parts store a few blocks away). AFTER Menla installed it, they told me I had to go to the dealer to program the sensor, in order to turn off the tire pressure warning light. In other words, they didn't have the know-how to do the programming. I would have been better off using a service that could have done the programming first, which is how it's supposed to go down. Now my warning light is constantly on, and I'll probably have to pay another fee to get it turned off. I'd use Menla for a tire leak, but not for anything more complex. read more

I called to get information about the tire I am looking for. But a lady pick up the phone she sounded arrogant from the the start didn't want to help me. She stated she can not give me information over the phone. I told her I have the information of the tire I am looking for. Don't post a number if are you going to have a nasty person picking up the calls. read more

Since I was driving to Alabama, I realized that I needed a tire. Unfortunately, all tire places were closed. I called Menla at 7:15 and the lady stated that they close at 8, but on Yelp it says 9. Anyway, David was outside, and he promptly changed my tire. He was genuinely a kind person, but the lady on the inside wasn't friendly nor was she mean. Had I encountered her first, I wouldn't return because I have had some great personalities in other places. Overall, if I am in DC and need tire service, I will definitely come to Menla. read more

THEY ARE OPEN ON SUNDAYS! Came here to explore the options of getting a new tire or a used tire. We ended up getting a new tire and they put it on for us in 10 minutes. The matriarch of the shop was a bit standoffish but the service by the two young guys that helped with the tire was good. read more

I went to Menla to get a tire to replace the one that was damaged, and I was very pleasantly surprise, not only with the professionalism and efficiency of the two mechanics, but by their pleasant helpfulness during a stressful time. I was in and out of their within 20 minutes. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs tire repair or replacement. read more

Got 2 tires put on - fast, reasonable ($150). No nonsense, friendly place. The whole thing took 30 minutes with no wait. I recommend calling ahead to see if they have the tire size you need! read more

Don't be put off by their sketchy looking storefront and driveway. I woke up on a snowy day to find my car with a flat. I called to see about getting it fixed, and verified over the phone they did indeed have my size tire in stock, should I need to get it replaced. I limped over in my car (run flats), showed the guy the tire with the issue. I sat in their small waiting room, and 15 minutes and $15 later, I was on my way with a repaired tire (plug) and a 3 inch screw as a souvenir. No upsell, no hassle, no waiting. Super fast. I'd come back if I find myself in the same situation - their hours are amazing (9am-8pm!) and open on Sunday too. read more

I rolled up to this place not knowing what to expect- I was pleasantly surprised- They were very quick in getting my bad tire off and advised me not repair because the tire because it was damaged from me riding on it flat - He quickly put on my spare tire on my vehicle ( yes I have a real tire as a spare) remember those day. anyways ask for Herman he's good honest very respectful and reasonable. read more

Okay, I normally write food reviews but I had to write a review for this place. Saturday midnight, I noticed my tires were low on air. I checked the air pressure; it was at 20 psi! But because it was midnight, I couldnt worry about it then. Sunday morning, I thought to causally fill my tires at the air station at the gas station. Turned out I had a freakin' screw stuck to my tire!!!! I had to go on a long-distance business trip via driving the next day, so I was upset and in panic. I knew places were closed Sundays. I felt out of luck. Looking on Yelp, I encountered Menla Tire Center. Score! They are open SUNDAYS! Drove my poor car over there, there were already a bunch of cars waiting. When they got to me (which was pretty quick), they looked at the tire with the screw, took it off the car, and went to work right away. I closely watched what they were doing and attempted to talk to guy. He didnt speak English very well so I just watched him and said a couple of words that were understandable and made small talk Thank goodness I didnt need to replace the entire tire and all I needed was a patch. They worked very fast. I watched the whole process and it seemed like a pretty good job (I dont know much about cars but Im hoping the patch they put on will last; cross fingers!) I also asked him to check the pressure and add air on all of the tires of my car which he did, even though there was a line of cars behind me waiting to get worked on. To apply the patch on the tire and the service, it was super affordable on a student's budget! Thank goodness Menla was there for the rescue, let's hope the patch works! read more

Service this competent usually costs much more. The young fella from Cameroon is great: professional, personable and no-nonsense. Tire change and balance. Gets on with it and doesn't mess around. Respect and thanks - two feeling I rarely have about that mechanic service. KenH read more

Had a flat tire so went to them. Was told the tire couldn't be patched so I bought a new one from them (they told me they didn't have any used ones for my car). Was only really intending to get the one tire replaced but was told the tread on my other front tire was getting worn and suggested I replace both. Not sure if it was an upsell or not as I don't know anything about tires. Bought two from them, again, don't know if the deal was good and I have no idea about the brands of the tires or anything like that but I'm out driving again and there doesn't seem to be any problems so it's all good! read more

I was very pleased with my service. They gave reasonable prices, and fast, efficient service. I was walked through every step. They even investigated other services that I needed (wheel alignment and new rim). I would definitely recommend them!! read more
