HUGE FAN of this place! Don't get ripped off by flashy mechanics who charge money to just run diagnostics tests just to tell you what's wrong with your car. Instead, come to this family-run business that's been in Austin forever! Cheap, quality work, no run-around, no upselling. read more

Horrible place, 0 stars if I could. Went in for a car diagnosis and they said it was only the water pump and nothing else was wrong. I could tell they didn't check anything because we have other things wrong with the car with proof and they didn't know or mentioned it to us. Kept saying everything was good until I mentioned something, asked for the paper and they gave me a made up paper with the problems that I mentioned. I was not satisfied and told them to check it in front of me. They ended up giving us our money back because they know they didn't check anything. They probably thought we looked young and didn't know anything, so they were gonna take advantage of that. read more

Awesome shop! Open Saturday and Sunday, which is INCREDIBLY convenient. Also have never had an issue getting same day appointments here. I have been taking my car here since moving to Austin, and I would definitely recommend this place to others! read more

No sirven esos mecanicos ni para aser un cambio de aceite y cobran como si fueran buenos mecanicos

Quick, thorough and priced right. Definitely will go back. ***Why does Yelp require 85 characters for a review?! ***

Went in with a dash board light on. The ant-lock break one. Got told by a older heavy set man that it would be $1,250 to fix "Unless I find something really wrong". It was the brake pedal switch. A $15 part that took me all of twenty minutes to change with a screwdriver in the parts house parking lot. If you look old and clueless they will try to take advantage of you. What he was trying to do to me was an outright scam. read more

Leal's wanted $55 per tire to install two tires I bought on Amazon. Olmeda's charged only $15 per. That's an $80 savings (or $75 after the $5 I tipped). They didn't check the air pressure, and both tires were several pounds too low. But for $15 per tire installed, I'm certainly happy to check the air pressure myself. Just mentioning this because you might want to make sure your tires have the right pressure after installation here. read more

We have been taking our cars to Olmedas for years and have always been happy with their work. Okay...my husband has been taking the cars to Olmedas and I have enjoyed driving my newly fixed car. Last Thursday, the husband took our car to the shop to get diagnosed. The a/c was broken. He brought it back the next day and they fixed it the same day. Yay! Now we have a cold car! Not the most glamorous place, but great work. read more

Olmeda's Tire & Auto - Tires Near Me - Austin, Texas

I am so happy to have tried out Olmeda Tire Services today. I needed someone to patch one tire and originally I went to one of the big corporate tire shops. They turned me away because they didn't have time. Went to another one, also turned away (even though it was 1 hour from closing). I looked on Yelp, and I am so glad I did. Granted, Olmeda doesn't have an impressive locale and it's much more of a family-owned business, but that's exactly what makes them such a great establishment. The men at Olmeda were so much more personable and able to accommodate the situation. They work fast and efficiently, and I didn't feel like they were trying to up-charge me for services I didn't need. They were honest about the state of my tires, and gave me recommendations for what I want to do next. I was happy to tip the guy who worked on my tires because he had done such a great job. From now on, I'll avoid going to the big corporations for tires, Olmeda has everything you could need. read more

These guys are good with price and will have your vehicle ready that day or the next. They are great in every way just a little short on the phone. Not rude at all just short but it's understandable because they are very busy. read more

Got a nail in our back tire on our brand new Tesla Model 3. It was a Sunday so we panicked and looked up the nearest auto shop. The mechanic was AMAZING and helped us immediately by extracting the nail and patching the tire. We were done in 20 minutes. Highly recommend this very helpful friendly service. read more

Olmeda's Tire & Auto - Tires Near Me - Austin, Texas

Olmeda's moved from where they used to be - North Lamar at St. John's. I've never had anything but good experiences there, so I drove further north to the current location. They had the two tires I needed and they looked like new. I wasn't sure about the price. In the past it had been around $45 per tire (used, plus the disposal fee, and they charge a little extra for credit cards), so I didn't ask. I couldn't get cash because the strip on my debit was worn out and they don't take AmEx. So it cost me $100 for 2 tires. They are friendly and super fast. Why don't I go to Discount Tire? They try to sell me extra and take an hour at a minimum, even for something simple. I've had issues with WalMart when it comes to defective NEW tires, plus they just aren't pleasant or fast. So my advice is, if you want to put money in the pocket of good, local people, go to Olmeda (but bring cash). read more

ALERT: Olmeda Tire Service is moving on ~1st September to a new location at Payton Gin & Lamar I just don't think you can go wrong when you need tire service and you stop by Olmeda. The last two times I needed tire service I went here and I'm happy I did. Juan Olmeda and his son Eric run this Austin-based business and they've been doing it for 20 years. You get fast, fair, evenly priced service often done by one of the Olmedas themselves. They show you what's wrong and tell you your options and you're out of there in 15 minutes. Here's what you don't get: a fancy showroom with crappy coffee, non-sensical double speak from a "service advisor," and endless waiting while the staff drinks the same crappy coffee instead of working on your car. Here's what you do get: fast service, fair prices, honest talk and a business where the owner is likely to be doing the work himself. Forget the chains and support Austin-owned businesses - especially when they treat you right like Juan Olmeda. Ride on cowboy! read more

Super friendly, fast and reasonable price. I will definitely come here again if I ever need to get my tired patched. Hopefully it doesn't happen again but, at least if it does I won't have to spend hours calling and finding not only the best deal but, QUALITY SERVICE!!!!! THANKS GUYS! read more

Love this place. They do not try to up sell you on anything. I brought my wife car here to get one tire change and it still last three years later in great condition. I brought my car in for all four tires change but the gentleman checked and said i only needed two. The other two still looks good. He was being honest and not try to rip me off like other places. read more

I went there to get my tire fixed because discount tires failed to write my phone number properly and made me wait 4hrs in order to tell me they cannot fix my tire. It has a tiny air leak and it's close to side but it is not on the side. Olmeda's Tire & Auto - Juan was pleasant to work with and help me patch my tire like new. Very professional. Also Walmart's Auto & Tire department is a joke. I previously order the same tire to be replace and will use the fixed tire as backup.. had my appointment at 8am and they get it done by 930am.. 1.5hr for 1 tire. smh. read more

I've been hearing a lot about Leals, but I live near Pflugerville and I'm not driving all that way. I've used Olmeda's Tire Service a few times at the suggestion of my brother-in-law after making the mistake of walking into a Good Year and having them try to sell me tires up the ass. Well, I don't like being hassled. I just needed a patch, I knew my tires were old and worn, but I have my own procedure for acquiring new tires and I really just needed to buy some time and a patch for my tire because I have a penchant for hitting screws. Olmeda's isn't too big on talk, they also didn't seem to mind that I brought a dog there. $15 for a tire patch, about 15 minute wait time. I'm happy. I saw some signs for credit cards, but this is one of the places I save cash for along with the Chinese bakeries. read more

I've had my new car for about a week and half when, to my dismay, I see a nice shiny piece of hell spawn metal in my tire! After I calmed down, ate a jelly donut, and got back to my zen place I went to my go to guys for tire repairs. Now, this place doesn't look so nice, they only take cash, and the ability to speak some Spanish is definitely a plus. But, they always tell you straight up if your tire can be patched or not. I've probably had 10 tires (fml) patched there, and they've never gone out from the patch failing. Also, a patch only costs five dollars which is about 15 to 20 less than most places. read more

WOW, That sums up my experience here. I desperately needed a replacement, as my doughnut was beginning to feign hopeless. I called all over looking for a specific size used tire, and pricing them. After like 30 minutes of calling other shops and either them not having the tire size, not selling used tires, or not answering the phone, I lucked out and called Olmeda. Friendly, fast, and a frugal choice. This is the way to live. 45 bucks installed for a new (used) P235/45 R17 tire, INSTALLED. What? YEP While I was there it was noted that my donut was in terrible disrepair and it was recommended that I go to Jack's tires on 7th to get a new donut. I was told to mention that big body sent me =P update! tire didn't last 2 days, took it back and had to pay 15$ for a patch a 'small nail' put in the tire (a nail which I never saw) #fishy Update!! Tire failed after five months. Tech did not balance tire before putting on, ruining other tires. Fuck this place. read more

Friendly, fast, and efficient. They patched my flat, refilled and remounted it and stowed my spare in 12 minutes! I'm a fan.

I got a screw in my truck's tire and needed a patch. I usually steer clear of used tire places, but I decided to give these guys a try based on the positive Yelp reviews and the logic that they probably do enough patches to be experienced/skillful at it. I showed up midway through a Saturday morning and was surprised to see a line. (This was a good sign, considering I drove past two other used tire places on the way there and saw no customers at either one.) They work on two cars at a time, so the line moves quickly. It's $15 for a patch, and it's a legit plug patch, where they both plug the hole in the tire and patch the air leak from the inside. They have a big trough of soapy water that they can dunk your tire in to find the leak if it's not as obvious as mine was. I watched as they quickly and skillfully dismounted the tire, put it on a fixture, removed the offending screw, installed the plug and patch, and remounted the tire. They then took the spare off my truck and reinstalled the wheel, and I was good to go. Including waiting in line, it took less than half an hour. I also saw a guy bring them a riding lawnmower tire with a staple in it, and they fixed that up as well. Recommended! read more

Excellent !!!! Quick service and very fair price !!! Was in and out with my repaired tire in less than 15 minutes ! Thanks again Yelpers!!! Another great Yelp experience !!! read more

Olmeda's Tire & Auto - Great service ! I stoped by to check my air pressure in my tires .. no charge! .. super service thanks so much !!!!! - Tires Near Me - Austin, Texas

On our way back to houston to make a wedding the low tire pressure light came on. It was Sunday so our usual tire shop was closed. We frantically drove around looking for a place that would take us quick. Every place we went to gave us hour-long wait times except for this place. The guys here moved with extreme urgency when we told them of our rush while still doing an impeccable job. We were in and out in less than 10 minutes and the price was outstanding. This is a really stand up business and the people here know customer service. On the outside this place may not look so great but don't judge a book by its cover, there's a gem here. read more

Very honest guy. I had a nail and he just showed me that it didn't made a hole and removed. He didn't even charge me. While in another place they told me I needed a new tier. Muy honesto! Tenía un clavo en la llanta me dijo que no había pasado a la llanta lo quito y ni me cobro. En otros lugares me habían dicho que te I que cambiar la llanta read more

I needed a flat fixed. Having sold tires and batteries in college, I know that one irreparable tire could lead to a sale of up to four tires (my size isn't cheap). I arrived and the gentleman was sitting on the far side of the office. He did not bother to get out of his chair, so we both had to raise our voices. I asked him if I could get a flat fixed; he babbled something about his tire guy so I asked him again and he babbled again. I asked "does this mean 'no'," which he confirmed, so I left with a bad tire. I have *never* been told that a business does *not* want my money. If he can't pull his tire tech for 15 minutes (I was there three hours before closing) and possibly secure a larger sale, then I'm at a loss for words. I'm new to this hood and I always patronize my neighborhood establishments. This is one I'll be scratching off of my list. read more

This place was such a relief! I'm low on funds and had a leaky tire. I off course think worse case scenario and how in the world and I gonna pay for this. I pull up, in a matter of minutes they find it's a nail, remove and repair and i don't need to cry cause of money. Quick, painless and affordable! Can't recommend enough and know who I'll be seeing when I need new tires. read more

I recently went there to get my breaks replaced and they were awesome. They got it done in like 45 minutes. I found out about Olmeda's from a friend who has always been satisfied with their services. read more

Olmeda's Tire & Auto - A bit tough to spot on N Lamar. Hopes this helps. - Tires Near Me - Austin, Texas

My parents had a bad tire after moving me to Austin on a Sunday and we happened to pass by this place which seemed to be the only tire shop open. They changed our tire in five minutes and were extremely helpful! I would definitely recommend them! read more

I brought my car in to Olmeda Tire to remove a screw and patch the tire. I arrived a little after 5pm and was immediately serviced and out in 15 minutes. Yes you read that right; wheel off, rim removed, tire off, tire patched, and reassembled in 15 freaking minutes!! Now that I have these guys, I don't need to worry about rolling over debris in the road... Take that Austin! read more

We had a tight timeline and a screw in a tire on a Saturday afternoon. These guys saw to it immediately when others would've made us wait for hours (we checked - called two places). I cannot express how much I appreciate this! We made our events on time and will definitely recommend this local tire shop to everyone around! read more

Came in because of a flat tire and they were able to patch it up extremely fast. Highly recommend!!

This has been my go to auto shop for over 18 yrs now. My family trust this shop for all our car repair needs.

UPDATE: if you're going for anything other than a tire patch, GO ELSEWHERE. Mother (older not really knowledgeable) visited, ended up having to have tire replaced BUT she paid the same $$ for an USED tire as she would have paid for a BRAND NEW tire at Wal-mart or discount tire. HOW? All he had to say was too bad, and didn't really care and refused to put the spare tire back on the car she can go get new tires for the same price elsewhere. **Treated me differently 1st time I went, must been a good day or because I'm a guy. $15 tire patch, Great cost with more value. read more

Came as a walk in twice for tire patches. The second time needed to trade tire because of low tread. Never had to wait more than 10 minutes. And very reasonably priced! read more

Absolutely the best! Fast friendly and very reasonably priced services. I have followed them from their original location on St. John's Avenue and Lamar to the newer bigger location on Lamarr and Payton gin. read more

These guys have been down the street from my house for three years, but I've never had a reason to go to them for used tires or tire repairs. This week, however, I noticed a slow leak on one of my rear tires and sighed as I considered the possibilities of forking out big cash like I have in the past for new tires or tire repairs. I drove up to the front and was approached by "Ricky" (or at least, that's what the nametag on his shirt would have me believe). He asked what was wrong and I explained to him the problem and that I would like it fixed. With minimal preamble, he had my truck jacked up, removed the tire in less than sixty seconds, and rolled it into the store where he proceeded to cover it in liquid to find the leak. He then positioned it on the bead-breaking machine and took it off the rim quickly and professionally, with nary a scratch on the metal. He then put the tire on another stand and dug out a tiny piece of metal/shrapnel that had caused the problem and handed it to me with a knowing grin. He then pulled out a dremel and started scoring the rubber on the tire's interior to apply the patch. This all was accomplished in less than another three to five minutes, and it was back to the bead machine to put the tire back on and fill it up with air. Boom. Doneski. Things must have changed since Alberto N. wrote his review in 2009, because they DEFINITELY accept credit cards now, and the patch job is $15.00, not $5.00. All in all, excellent work, I was very satisfied with the quality and quick execution. I wasn't in there for more than ten or fifteen minutes, and there was a car ahead of me. Recommend. These guys have got it going on if you're TIRED of looking for other places. read more

Drove in, got a tire patched and was off in 10 min, all for only $15. It's been months and the tire hasn't lost air. Would definitely come back. read more
