I have been a customer for more than a decade, i tip the workers every time. They do good patching. But today, one of the brand new tires i got from them deflated on the freeway. Pressure indicator turned on on the dash. Usually its a nail, happened to me many many times. But this time, Did not know i was running flat for a few miles. It was one of the rear tires so i guess it was not too noticeable. I changed to the spare. Went to them, owner who was always nice right away blamed me for running flat. He said ran over something sharp. But it didn't look like that when he showed me where it leaked. Clean looking on the inside but a small crack on the outside. I had to pay for a new tire to replace the week old tire its damaged now. But i will forever question the safety of the new tires i got. And apparently no such thing as warranty with their new tires. read more

Came by the other morning since I was having a slow leak on my tire. I was able to pull up once the driveway was clear. The technician was quick to get started on my car, carefully jacking up my car and attempting to find the nail in my tire. Turns out there was a leak from the bead so the tech applied to bead sealant before airing my tire back up. Definitely give them a heads up if there are specific tire pressures you're trying to get and/or if you need your lug nuts torqued to a certain spec. $25 to repair my tire and I was in and out in 15 minutes! Cash only! read more

I love the premise of this shop. Old school, family owned. Bought my own tires and had them installed here. Very professional and they did a great job. Didn't have to wait very long as they began working on my car, the minute I pulled up! read more

I came in to mount brand new tires on brand new rims. I've called about 8 times and each conversation was very professional and helpful. I finally pulled the trigger on 235/40/19 (less common size) and Sakis, the owner, placed a same day order so I could come in the afternoon. Pricing is competitive here. I highly recommend buying from them if you want to save $100-200 on new tires. Overall, great experience. Took ~25 minutes to get my new rims on (balancing, mounting). They were very careful with the work which I super appreciate! read more

$20 for tire plug. They don't try to cross sell or complain about the location of the nail. Got it done in less than 10 minutes. No filling unnecessary paper work. Just pay cash and get a receipt for services rendered. read more

$20 (cash only) for diagnosing and replacing a decaying valve stem on my Civic rear tire isn't bad. However, the mechanic did not immerse the wheel and tire in water to make sure that there is no other visible leak; so not really a thorough job. He also used the wrong jack points on my Civic and did not have a torque limiter on his air gun. In conclusion, if you can bring just the tire for repair, then there will be no fear of potential damage to your car's frame or wheel or studs. read more

I used to live near japantown and found. This gen to fix my tire problems. I've since moved but still drive out of my way to come here. They are honest, provide high quality work, and are reasonably priced. For example I came by with a low pressure warning on my Tesla. It was more of an annoyance because I'd need to slightly fill up that one tire every few months. Took about 10 minutes but they were able to locate a small leak that I'm not sure other places would have been able to find. read more

I had a flat tire. I called around 3 or 4 places. The price at this place was the lowest. To fixed the flat tire within 10 minutes. The guy at the desk was very nice. $20 to fix flat tire with a plug (not best) $25 to fix flat tire with a patch (lasts longer) All other places I called were asking for $35. The place is within a gas station and it's not very visually appealing. But if your goal is to fix a flat, you don't care about that. read more

Been coming here for several years and overall I'm giving this place a solid 2 stars. Pros: Prices are cheap around the area, doesn't get that busy. Cons: 1. If they know you, your car gets serviced first (not cool). 2. On one occasion, they placed the tire on my rim incorrectly (some tires have an outward facing sidewall due to direction of tread). 3. The owner doesn't give sound advice if you want to discuss or you have any kind of tire knowledge (I've worked in a tire/automotive field for several years). I requested the tires be placed on a certain way and he gave opposite/incorrect advice. Came across as condescending (way to build relationships). Received better service elsewhere! read more

Service & work here is Great! They are quick and you'll be in n out within 30 minutes whatever service you get. Had a tire rotation done and two holes from screws pugged and still made it on time for work. Two Stars knocked off because of price and customer service. They are a tad bit expensive. Cost me $80 for a simple tire rotation and flat tire repair. Not the worst, but caught me off guard. (My oil change for my car is $60 with Oil, Oil Filter, and Labor). The Owner/Boss does end up talking with customers he knows well a bit to long, thus ends up missing on which customers got there first. Some guy came out of nowhere and the Boss told him to pull his car around for Service, skipping me in the process. read more

A Very quick tire patch up on my Subaru and it costs $20 just need to wait til 8:30 to open.

This is like your hole in the wall restaurant but tires. Super friendly place and definitely help people in a pinch. I had some new wheels with some AT tires and it was only $60 at the time with new stems for an additional $8 for all four tires. Definitely beats your name brand places like America tires, etc. They even balanced them! Super cheap and quality work, fast too. Will be taking my tires here from here on out. read more

Great prices and service! Would go again. Not often you have family run business around anymore.

My car was vibrating once I hit 55mph and needed to get my tires checked as my axles were still good. Called two other places that priced a tire rebalancing at $77.97 and $80. Yup that's almost $20 to balance out ONE tire. Im no expert but balancing a tire should cost ya between $10-15 a tire. So when Sakis at this location told me $10 a tire, I drove there. Three men worked on my car. THREE. Including Sakis who took my initial call. Each of them took care of my tires. One rebalancing. Another checking the pressure. One making sure my keys were on again. It felt nice seeing how much attention they put into my car. They said they'd check the fronts ones first to make sure then the back ones and charge me for the ones that actually needed it. Honest men doing honest work. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend read more

Boy, Tire Merchants is a time saver. The Tire Merchants offers quick service at great prices. Located at the corner gas station off of Hedding/Oakland Rd. Came to Tire Merchants to install 4 tires which I bought elsewhere. Immediately, serveral staff got to work and I was on my way in 20 minutes. Boy, was I impressed. Felt like I was in a car race getting my tire changed. They had 3-4 people working on the car. Team work folks! Excellent value and service, replaced 4 tires 195/60/15, paid total $72, ($15 installation plus $3 disposal fee). Your not going to find a better price folks. No more wasting time at the big box store. Make sure to bring cash, cash only. The Tire Merchants will take good care of you. read more

Tire Merchants - All four tires brand new instillation and everything. - Tires Near Me - San Jose, California

Always impressed with all the work these men do here. Riding through the insane streets and freeways of San Jose, I'm lucky enough to say I've only had 3 flat tires out of my 6 years living in this city. And from those 3 flats, all of them have been serviced here at Tire Merchants. The process of getting a flat repaired is very simple, you may drive up to one of the three slots adjacent to the their garage-like structure or park onto the left hand side. You'll be greeted almost immediately. Even if their servicing other cars at the moment, they'll make sure you're given attention. They provide their own jacks, so no need to bring out yours. Also, some of the men here have also helped me return my spare into its designated spot (as it is kind of hard for me to securely tighten the spare wheel). As for time, I can say even with three other cars in front of me, I was able to get my flat tire assessed, patched, and returned back to my wheel all in 7 minutes. It's insane how hard they work, and their speed and communication really shows it. A patch for my tire was about $25. Cash only! I also tipped because they absolutely deserve it!!! Thanks for all the hard work there guys. I'm always back on the road faster than I expected! read more

I do think these guys are the best for your tire replacement needs. They don't stock a large assortment of tires but you can work with them to order and have yours delivered here. Several times I have brought my cars to have tires swapped or also a leak repair. They don't have a lift but they do have car jacks to raise your car or SUV up and get the work done. They are quite efficient and knowledgeable but also provide good service. They do get busy and that's for a good reason. If you have a need to replace your tire they might have one in stock or you can bring one in and they can do the work for you. That being said and knowing what to expect, I'd say you'd likely also have good experience going to Tire Merchants. Note: CASH ONLY and support local business, thanks read more

My dad found Tire Merchants many years ago and told me he liked them. Any time I've a tire problem, like a nail embedded in the tire treads, I drive over there and the wonderful people there handle it so fast I feel like I'm in the Indy 500 with a champion pit crew! I recently had a large nail stuck in my front left tire and they patched it up just as quickly and competently as always! They're the real deal! read more
