    America's Tire

    On July 31, I called the America's Tire on Cleveland Ave in Santa Rosa to ask about a specific tire…read morefor my truck. I specifically asked if it would work, and Chris told me, "I don't see why not." Based on that conversation, I ordered the tires. I left my truck at the store all day, hoping to have them installed. Unfortunately, the tires arrived late, which I understand was outside the store's control. I made another appointment for the following day, drove back to the store, checked in, and waited about 25 minutes before being told the tires didn't meet the load requirements for my truck and they would not install them. To be fair, the staff did take the time to look into other tire sizes and brands and even contacted another store, but they were unable to find an acceptable alternative. My frustration isn't that they refused to install the tires if they didn't meet the proper specifications--that was the right decision. My frustration is that this should have been determined before the tires were ordered and before I made multiple trips to the store. A little more attention to detail on the front end would have saved everyone a lot of time and frustration. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, and based on what I experienced, I can't recommend the Cleveland Ave location.

    Here's the Good the Bad and the Ugly about America's tire and the location on Cleveland Avenue…read more GOOD. They do a first class job installing tires efficiently and cleanly with good balancing and, amazingly, the correct tire pressure. This last item seems trivial but it is the first time in decades a tire shop actually got the pressures correct; they are usually way too high. Staff is friendly and seem well trained. Waiting room is sterile, not a place you want to spend a lot of time and while there are wheels in there for you to look at, oddly, not a single tire. Waiting room is clean though, chairs are comfortable and make sure if you are to be there a while you bring any drinks or snacks as all they have is a water fountain. One would think they would have an example of each of their most popular tires in each category in there but, no, not a single one to see. BAD. The website allows you order tires and pay for them only to be told they are out of stock locally and nationally. They were correct as I could not find them anywhere either as my size is "odd" for this fay and age it seems at 195/50-15 for my 1994 Miata. There was no immediate credit issues so I contacted HQ to do that before ordering more tires on line, ensuring they were available at other locations on the web other than America's Tire. No they are not the lowest priced tires as they advertise. Costco is as they include hazard damage in their pricing while America's tire does not. Costco does not carry my size of tire though. THE UGLY. Do not make the mistake I made by going towards Guerneville Road on the small lane leading there as there is no actual curb cut to enter and exit dead ahead; it is oddly 20 feet to the left. I unfortunately did not realize that as there is no sign or barriers so over the curb i went in the Miata smashing down on the frame rails. I don't believe there was any damage but a lower car would have suffered severe damage. There needs to be a sign or barrier telling you there is no exit there and directing you 20 feet to the left. Better to simply exit on Cleveland Avenue which is how I had come in. I would return but I'd like to see me be the last person to smash the underside of their car exiting on what looks like a driveway exit onto Guerneville Road.

Nail in my tire was patched up in less than 30. Nice comfy waiting room where I plugged my laptop in and worked. They also have a nice seating area outside too.

Are they efficient, are they hustling? For sure. Competitive rates?--check. Good communication?--check. Knowledgable?--check. A friend told me once , "The secret of being really successful in sales is not closing the deal. It's helping people find their way." I must have taken up an hour or more of Todd's time trying to figure out what I wanted for my truck. Spacers, lift kits, offsets... on and on! In the end I learned a lot and they did not get their sale. What they did get is my trust. It takes time and a willingness to have a conversation (sometimes many!) to figure out what people think they want vs what actually serves them best. That is rare today. This is not a business model that "scales up"; you can't automate or AI this kind of exchange. This is an old family business. Jeff Kalemba took over his father's business, swapping the first name for the last and expanding services, infrastructure and inventory steadily. Sometimes the kids are helping out. Todd and the crew keep things purring along, somehow finding the time for that deeper connection so lacking in the world today.

    7:30 am on a Thursday in Santa Rosa…read more.. My truck broke down on the way to make a delivery... AAA towed it (and me) to Coogler's on a recommendation from a friend who knows these guys. Stressed? You know it! Concerned about the work that would be done and how long it would take and what it would cost? Absolutely! Who isn't stressed out when their car breaks down, and they're going to a new auto mechanic??? Greeting me in the lobby were three of the nicest guys who just got into work and were in a better mood than I was... Things were looking up already... Jeff was my repair coordinator, and he immediately put me at ease and let me know that they would do everything they could to get me back up and running ASAP. I quickly booked a rental truck and Ubered to the rental location to get it and bring it back to swap the goods and get back on track. One of the technicians (Scott maybe?) helped me make the swap (above and beyond? Yup!) Quick communication on Coogler's part with some texts and emails told me they had found the problem and were on the case. Estimated time to repair? End of today or tomorrow at the latest. That's fast, I thought... Good news too because I've got more deliveries coming up. 'Tis the season... Fast forward ~4 hours and I'm getting a call from Jeff telling me my truck was ready to pick up (pun intended). What?!?!?! 4 hours and it's done!!! Got back to the rental shop, got one of their guys to take me back to Coogler's, and was back in my truck at 1:30 pm. Since then, a couple of genuinely concerned calls and emails asking if everything is still going well with the truck. Normally, when I do business with someone, they only call to ask if we can do more business. This was actual follow-up and quite refreshing. Will I work with Coogler's again? You bet I will! And if you've been looking for a dependable auto mechanic who's going to do a good job of both fixing your car AND being pleasant to work with, you should too!

I made the mistake of doing business at Cains Tires in Marin County. If you do not drive a newer car or have the air of being "Marin County" they treat you like $hit and act like it's a problem to serve you , but they will gladly run your card and take your money. I've lived in Marin County for almost 10 years and have done business in Sonoma County for over 30 years but thought I should let go a little and find places in my own area. BIG MISTAKE. NO ONE TREATS EVERYONE AS FAIRLY, WITH RESPECT AND KINDNESS LIKE AMERICAS TIRE IN ROHNERT PARK, CA. Cains sold me TWO "NEW TIRES" BOTH BLEW OUT WITHIN THE YEAR, one had leaked from the valve from the jump . What are the chances of BOTH BRAND NEW TIRES having defects? One's that are reserved for non Tesla and expensive vehicles, that's what happens when you buy from snooty businesses in a snooty county. Go where people treat you decent and stand behind their work and customer service whether your car is brand new , a few years old or beyond that. I will NEVER go back to Cains . Family owned or not, don't be fooled. That means NOTHING when they have the audacity to treat people like $hit because they don't fit the typical Marin clientele

My first thought was that it was a loose sound deadening pad in the tire because it was inconsistent. I went to a local small business tire shop in Novato and explained my problem. I asked them to dismount the tires and check the pad. Instead, they just balanced the tire and sent me on my way. Needless to say, the problem remained. Same story at another local tire shop. I made two visits and they still refused to dismount the tire and inspect it. Both places charged me for a balancing. Finally I took it to America's Tire. There, Kevin helped me out and immediately dismounted the tire and found the loose foam pad. He put it back together and balanced the tire. Problem solved! It was very frustrating not being heard by the other tire shops, but Kevin was familiar with the problem and helped me out. I truly appreciate a business that listens to their customers.
