On one hand, the brakes that Orozco's installed have worked well for over two years. A huge plus. On the other hand, they used non-factory brake pads that they cut down to fit my car, which could have easily caused a safety hazard. Our brakes have squeaked pretty much constantly since we got them fixed at Orzco's. On the whole, pretty unsatisfied. read more

Orozcos Tires - Here's the nail head, causing a slow leak - subsequently plugged. - Tires Near Me - Berkeley, California

I had a negative experience at Orozco's. Got to work in Emeryville and found one front tire was completely flat. A co-worker recommended Orozco's nearby. I used some Fix-A-Flat to get me to the shop, where one of the owners told me the sidewall was damaged and the tire could not be repaired. He suggested I swap it for a $45 used tire. Knowing that my other front tire was getting close to end of life, I asked what the cost would be for two, and whether he had two similar to my newer rear tires. He told me had used tires in good condition and the cost would be $90 for two. He told me he had Bridgestones (although not the same model as my rear tires), and that tires purchased with him included lifetime balancing and rotation and a warranty. That sounded like a great deal, so I agreed to two. The conversation was very, very rushed, I had little time to ask questions, and he told me to hurry up and make up my mind because he had a line. When he presented me w/the bill it was for several hundred $. I told him I thought the cost was $90. Turned out he'd quoted me for used, but then installed new. Not sure whether he was trying to bait-and-switch or I just misunderstood because he spoke so fast and the conversation was so limited. He was irritated that I did not want the new tires after he's already installed them. He had his workers take off the new tires, put back my undamaged old one, and install one of his used tires. He also told me he would only accept cash for a used tire (which I didn't have on me), although he was happy to take a credit card for the higher-priced new tires he'd initially installed. I told him I'd have to find someplace to get cash, and asked how late he'd be open, since I needed to get back to work, and then pick up my child after work. He told me I was wasting his time. Later, when I left work, I looked at the tires to see what had been done. The tire his shop installed was a Continental. It didn't match my other 3 tires at all, but it did at least get me back on the road. However, I then noticed the metal clips on all of my rims were missing, except for one, and in the place where one of the clips had been, there was a hunk of metal broken off. When I went back to the shop with $45 in cash later (total pain to have to run and find an ATM), I asked them about the broken part of the rim and the missing clips. They became very angry and defensive, told me that part had been broken a long time ago, and that the clips were weights that some shops used. The owner said, "We fix your tire, and now you accuse us of breaking your rim? Come on, give me a break!" I had not accused him, only asked, because I had never noticed that piece of metal broken like that before. It might have been old damage that I never noticed, but the angry attitude of the guys in the shop really bothered me. They also never explained why they removed the clips/weights. The owner then began speaking to his brother in Spanish about me, saying how I'd been in earlier and wasted his time not being able to make up my mind. I speak Spanish and understood everything he said; it was extremely offensive. In short, if you are someone who knows your way around tires, knows what you want and need, and doesn't need any explaining or hand-holding, these guys are super-fast and a used tire will only run you $45. They were super-busy on the Monday when I was there. If you are someone who needs a mechanic to take a little time explaining things to you clearly, this is not the shop. The guy was friendly at first, but became really rude and high-pressured and obnoxious when I didn't do what he wanted or make a decision fast enough, and became downright mean when I asked about the missing clips/weights and the damage to the rim. I was thankful to be able to drive my car home that night, but I wouldn't go back to this shop if I could avoid it. Also, in the middle of Covid-19, nobody in the shop was wearing a mask. The guys were working and talking very close to one another with no protection. read more

Just back from Orozco's Tires and I must say the service lives up to its reputation here at Yelp* . I had bought 2 slightly used tires off E-bay at an amazing discount but needed a place to mount and balance them. I pull up and the boss guides my parking straight into their small driveway and asks what i need. I explained i had 2 used tires that I needed mounted and balanced. He told me "No problem, should be less than 30 mins." So i said I'd just wait around. Within 5 mins they were working on the car and within 15 mins I was up paying for the expedient service. Has asked for $15 ea but told me "Just make it $25." when I was paying. :) Carries a good stock of Toyos, Goodyears and a few others in case you need reasonably priced tires immediately and judging by the repeat customers I saw come thru in 20 mins, I'd say they aree indeed doing things right! I will be back! read more

I desperately needed new tires, as mine were almost bald. Looking on Yelp, i saw the Orozco's Tires had a ridiculously high rating, so i decided to check them out. Just north of Big O, it's a tiny place with no-nonsense workers there - you get in and out pretty quick. Their tires are also competitively priced, and the service is quick. Not 10-15minutes quick like i've heard, but they didnt try to sell me other junk, and knew that i wanted to get in and out. The only downside is if they're working on your car and another one pulls in, you're not leaving until they're finished with the other car. 4 stars. read more

Caution: Orozco's damaged my wheels! I went to have a tire swapped from one rim to another and their machine left deep grooves in the back of my wheels. When I pointed this out I was told that they used to have a machine with rubber bumpers and now they don't. The clamps on their mounting machine just dig into the metal of your rim. On another occasion I requested a specific sized pair of used tires and they told me they were available, when the tires were mounted up I realized that they had sold me a size smaller and that these tires were not intended for such a wide rim and that they had stretched them to fit. I was told to come back in a week and they would swap them for the correct size but when I came back they were still unavailable. I wound up having to buy a new pair so I could get back on the road safely. I also got a defective valve stem that would blast air out from the base whenever slightly wiggled. I was sold on this place for a long time because they guys are nice, and the service is cheap and fast but I would never trust them again with my wheels or the safety of my vehicle. read more

Got a flat tire on my way back from Tahoe, looked up tire places and this shop had great reviews! Was able to get a used tired for a great price! They where all super nice and helpful even checked my tire pressure! Will definitely be back if I ever need another tire! read more

If you live in Berkeley or the surrounding areas buy your tires here. With the purchase of new tires it includes lifetime free rotation and lifetime flat fixes. Anyone who complains about a flat fix here probably did not buy your tires here, as these guys do good work and stand by their service. So, if you had your flat fixed here and were not a tire customer, you should have taken your car back as they are good people. However, if you got your flat fixed here and then went somewhere else to fix the same flat then you just unwisely wasted your own money, as Orozco's stands by their work. read more

These guys are the best! I've been buying tires and having them serviced with Orozco for several years and would not go anywhere else unless I had to. Thanks Orozco Tires! read more

I have been buying tires, new and used, plus getting repairs here for many years. The two brothers who own it and their entire staff are always helpful, friendly and interested in getting me the best prices around. Once they told me they couldn;t get the best price for a particular tire and suggested an alternative but otherwise they have always beat all others. And the customer service is fantastic. They recognize regulars when you drive it. Last week I got a screwdriver jammed into my tire and was sure it was a goner, though fairly new. I brought it in. "Leave it until tomorrow and we'lll see if we can save it." Next day I drove in and as I got out of the car they were ready to jack up the vehicle and had the repaired tire on in less than 2 minutes, good as new. No charge. It is the kind of place where customers stand around comparing notes on how much they like the place. And if they need to keep it for a little bit, you can walk down the street a block to various shops and restaurants. read more

I highly recommend this place, which I never would have found if not for Yelp. My car had a flat tire the other day, and I called Orozco's, who sent out a couple of guys who changed the spare ($40). I drove over to the place, which is very small and takes some maneuvering to get into the driveway. They checked out my tire, patched it up and I was on the road again within 15 minutes ($20). Orozco is a really nice guy, and he mentioned that I should come back in a month for a free tire rotation (after that they cost $20). Also keep in mind that this place is cash only--but there's a B of A right across the street. A great family-owned business! read more

Efficient, no-frills, $25 for tire repair and change. Done within 10 minutes.

Great, fast & very friendly service!! I'd definitely recommend to family/friends!! Thanks Orozco!! read more

These guys are really amazing. Went to take company truck for tires (a weird expensive size). Popped into BigO for an estimate of $1,200. Then thanks to yelp reviews went straight to Orozco. They were able to have the tires shipped over and then called me to put them on 3 hours later. They were finished in 45 minutes, gave me a nifty pen and bottle opener key chain and a Coke, and the total bill was less than $850. For really nice high end tires. And he told me to be sure to bring it in every 3 months for a free tire rotation. You 5 star yelpers were right on with this one. read more

They were fabulous! I highly recommend them because they take such good care of you. We had two tires blow out and they got us back on the road in 30 minutes. read more

These guys are awesome! Quick, efficient, reasonably priced, and friendly. Just had my tire fixed in 10 minutes and for $25...on a Sunday morning. BRAVO!!! read more

Put a plug in my leaking tire when 3 other stations said they couldn't do it. $25 and its still holding up weeks later.

Amazing service and price. They don't charge for ticky tack things and do great work.

Fast and honest. Excellent service. Took them 5 mins to get me back on the road, and they didn't even try to sell me tires. Just fixed my flat. I highly recommend Orozco's Tires read more

Although i did appreciate thier availability for tires, the prices for new tires were astounding. Again the only reason i purched from them was because they were the only ones with the tire in stock that day. While other reliable places were charging 98.00$ a tire they charged me 130.00. Apples to Apples. If at all possible purchase new tires somewhere else and have them installed there. read more

They helped us out with a tire patch up job at 2:50 on a Sunday! (they close at 3pm). With no hesitation of turning us away - now that's customer service!! read more

I thought I had a slow leak that had resulted in an almost flat tire & had filled the tire but wanted the leak fixed. Within 5 minutes of getting to Orozco's, the worker determined that there was no leak; I'd hit a curb. He charged me....nothing! Plus, he checked the other tires. My daughter-in-law had a similar experience, except that she did have a leak which was quickly repaired for...$5! Wow, I'll never go anywhere else for tire service or new tires. read more

I don't know why you would bother going anywhere else to have a flat fixed. They also got a new set of tires on in about 20 minutes, so if you don't want to dick around too long, there you go. read more

In and out in 15 minutes. Very convenient, friendly, and relaxed. Cash only for used tires.

Great, honest, service. Fixed my tire rather than trying to sell me a new one. Charged me a fair price.

FAST! charged me the same quote as on phone for 2 NEW Tires. Noticed that I had no BRAKE lights!! and replaced 4 tail lamps for free!!!

This is the best spot to get tires. They are super professional and friendly. I came here to get 2 tires changed, and when I came back a year later they remembered me and still had the other 2 tires. A week after I got the new tires I got a flat because of a nail, and they fixed it for free. Going here for life! read more

They fixed a slow leak in my tire for a pittance. They also let me sit in the car while they took off the tire because it was freezing cold and they have no waiting room. When they were lifting the car with jack I started to giggle because I felt like I was on a bouncy ride, the guy raising it started to laugh too. It was a special moment we shared, and I'm better for it. read more

I called with a leaky tire & Victor told me to come right over. They were waiting for me & had the tire off in 5 min & fixed & back in in 10. Awesome friendly service, super polite & courteous & kind. I will be a regular customer from now on! 3 other tire places told me it would take 2 to 3 hours. Victor is a gem. read more

I had same great experience as everyone else. A nail in my tire was causing a slow leak and we were about to drive to Tahoe. Called Orozco's and was quoted $25 and told they could take care of it right way. Drove to Orozco's and I had barely gotten out of the car and they were already starting to jack up the car to get the tire off. It literally took 10 minutes and then I paid the exact price quoted on the phone and was back on the road. These guys are like the gold medalists of time changing and deserve every 5 stars they get. Highly recommended. read more

pulled up around 6:30pm needing a new back tire and a patch up on another. was in and out of the shop in 15-20 minutes! be sure to bring cash. read more

I always try to go family owned business when possible so I came to Orozco's after Oil Changers down the street showed me a huge gash in my front tire. I usually drive further down San Pablo Ave into Richmond because you can always find tires for almost half the cost (used) and discounted new, but I decided I didn't want to risk a flat on the way. Orzco's changed 2 specialty tires on my 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart for a small discount since no used in stock...$240 total with labor...not so bad I guess. Very fast and friendly service. Thanks Orozco's! read more

There's no WiFi in the waiting room they don't have. No free coffee. The building has a seismic hazard sign. But they replaced four valve stems for $10/each. I have been twice, and each time it was a chaotic mix of activities, punctuated by yet another person pulling up with a nail in their tires. Each new arrival was crammed in their tiny lot, serviced with no fanfare, and sent on their way. They clearly do most business in cash, but will take a card if pressed. All the workers are Mexican, but communicating in English is not a problem. read more

These guys are great. I bought a full set of tires here last year. I've had two popped tires due to potholes and the first time the replaced the tire for free, this time repairing it for free. These guys are always friendly and helpful. It makes me happy to support local business. read more

Got a set of new tires from Orozco a year ago. Recently had a slow leak and brought over to them on a Sunday morning. They gave me a new tire and fixed it up in 20 minutes. The boss there is so nice and reassuring. Nice guys. Thanks again!!! read more

I've been there twice. Once for a puncture in my tire and another for two new tires. Super fast service. Much better than Firestone or big ten. Good family run business. read more

I just got off the freeway from a long drive I was tired and wanted to get my tired changed then take a nap. They give great service, very professional and quick. I will allways give them my business. read more

The guys who work here are nice and they do the job pretty quickly. I had a huge screw in my tire and it was down to an abysmal 4 p.s.i. and they patched it and evened out my tire pressure all around for $20 cash. The only strange thing was that I had all new valve caps on each tire, none of them matching, so I am not sure what to make of that. I was missing one cap when I got there and asked them if they had an extra one lying around for me. Maybe they misunderstood my request and thought I wanted all new ones? Granted it is just a cosmetic issue but come on---that is a bit strange, right? I would recommend Orozco's for any kind of small tire repair job. I have no idea how they are for larger stuff. read more

Goodyear quoted me over $700 for only 2 tires! I came into Orozco's, walked and had lunch with my kids across the street, came back and they were done! They actually said it would only take 20 min, so I was happy they let me keep my suv there while we finished lunch. So what would have been $700, ended up only being $260. Plus they have super nice staff there! read more
