You are definitely going to be told you need new tires if you get your car inspected here. I don't know what I was thinking. You can find cheaper tires and installation just about anywhere else. One guy told me the price for a set of tires, his most affordable pair, another guy came over and told me an even cheaper pair. I felt like I was getting the old sales take over pitch. read more

I can't say enough good things about the service and attention to detail provided by tire town. These guys do great work in s a timely manner, and are always willing to lean forward to help you out in a tough spot. We do all of our tire mounting, winter/summer swap outs and repairs with tire town. There's a reason why this company has been around since I was in college 20 years ago and that is that they are dependable, hard-working, and great to work with. Can't say enough good things and appreciate them sincerely. read more

300 miles from home, staying off the grid in the mountains. Low tire light....add air....loose pressure again. Drove to where we had cell service, called Tire Town based on their reviews. And they were exactly as reviewed--took us right away, found a small nail, repaired the tire, and sent us on our way. Less than 1 hour!! Nice, friendly people--and competent too! Thanks Tire Town! read more

I have been here several times over the years and have always received honest and fair service. I have an older car (2005 VW/130K miles) that I was considering driving cross country. After a thorough inspection in the shop, they told me I needed 4 new tires, an oil change and a new headlight. I'm writing this some 3,000 miles later to say I made it safe and sound in LA. Would definitely recommend! read more

Tire Town - 3,000 miles later! - Tires Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Can't recommend enough. I ran into an emergency situation last Saturday while up for the football game. While there was no way for them to fix the issue, they ran the diagnostic for me, cleared the error, helped me find where to go and didn't charge a dime. Just genuinely good people. read more

This tire sales and service center is the greatest! The fellows that work there are not only capable and experienced, they are all a pleasure to deal with. Every time I deal with Tire Town I come away smiling and glad I came back. Prices are better than just fair. Service is always timely. I wholeheartedly recommend Tire Town to all. read more

Really friendly, professional, and personable staff! Was easy to schedule an appointment online and my service was completed very quickly. I'll definitely be returning in the future. read more

Great service- state of the art equipment. We will definitely make Tire Town our destination for tire and wheel services.

The customer service was amazing, the prices are fair, and they were fast! I was in a bit of a pinch and they were able to get two tires replaced in about an hour on a busy Saturday! I can't recommend them enough read more

Great service and amazingly fast. Brought car in needed new tires, oil change, and having a grinding noise in front right. Quickly diagnosed as bad strut and control arm. Repaired fast and price was very fair. Tires may have been cheaper at a big retailer, but my car drives better than when it was brand new (60000 miles now). Highly recommended. read more

See all

I got a flat tire a few weeks ago and got my car towed here.... I believe his name was Christian, was an unbelievable help. Being a young girl who knows nothing about cars, he offered to talk with my dad on the phone. I had excellent service and would go here again in a heartbeat if i ran into any other car issues. read more

I needed tires (sourced elsewhere) mounted on my travel trailer. Everyone I interacted with at Tire Town was not only extremely professional, but also as friendly and courteous as anyone I've ever dealt with. They got me in and out in no time and the technician even consulted me with some balancing options, giving me a thorough understanding of my options. Fast, Friendly, and Fairly priced. Couldn't ask for better! read more

I took my car to Tire Town for after a neighbor recommended them (the recommendation was possibly biased by the fact that we can walk to it from our place). Their hours aren't bad either, 7:30 - 5:30 on weekdays and 7:30 - 2:00 on Saturdays. Our tires were in need of rotation (the guys couldn't get the lugs off when we got our oil changed last) and one of back tires was looking pretty flat. The diagnosis was two busted studs and a nail in the back tire. The place was busy when I brought it in, so I dropped it off and told them no rush, but they called me within two hours to say it was ready for pickup. I found the prices for tire rotation and flat repair to be reasonable (it was just $11 to repair the flat); the labor costs are a bit pricey but they guys seem to know their stuff. Bonus: since the busted studs broke off while trying to take the tires off, they did the rotation for free. I'd definitely recommend Tire Town as a solid place to get tire work/flat repair done. read more

Although Tire Town may have sums good techs, their owners are always rude. I moved here in 1994, I tried tire town in late 90's and found the owners very nasty , they like to lecture their customers! Anyway, I waited over 15 years to try again, I walked in and asked if I could set up an appt for. my Audi, I needed a seal checked on a tire. Same guy from 15 years ago, says. " If is snows to tonight I want NOTHING to do with it!" I said, oh is it supposed to snow? He said again, " Yes and if it does I want nothing to do with your car." I was flabbergasted but mildly amused since I it was the same individual from 15 years ago. I turned and left, not knowing how to react, I know they don't need my business, but I would never go back. Being rude to customers that have a simple problem, is a terrible way to behave. I own a business in town, I know how hectic things can get, what he should have said was, sorry we are booked, or probably better to come back on another day,. What a loon! read more

I was 600 miles from home with a busted tire. Tire Town opened their doors early, put 4 Michelin tires on at a great price, and all in about one hour! Very happy in Happy Valley! Great customer Service! Mike R. South Carolina read more

I highly recommend Tire Town. For both inspections, minor repairs and tires. We moved to State College recently and had to get our cars inspected. What made me review them so highly was the fact that when they identified some minor issues with the older of our two vehicles (10+ years old) they were very clear about what needed to be taken care of to pass the inspections and what should be done but not needed for the inspections. It's not often that auto mechanics tell you about issues without making it seem like the repairs are urgent. Tire Town was transparent with their assessment of our cars. They also have a wide selection of tires available and we opted to get winter tires for the car we use for family driving and will swap the back and forth with the summer tires. With the snow storms and super cold weather we've had this winter it was definitely the right decision. read more

I cannot thank tire town and specifically J.R. enough!!! My daughter has just graduated law school and had a friend to return to the Pittsburgh Airport when her tire went flat. J.R. Went above and beyond! Her tire was not in stock and evidently quite a dinasaur. He put on a loan tire for her and ordered the replacement for tomorrow. As a mother of a college student I could not have asked for more. This company helped our family and set my mind at ease. Grateful! read more

I needed an emergency tire replacement. Tire town was close to my location so I decided to bring my car here. Staff was very friendly and made sure to give me every price option available. Everyone was very informative and made sure to let me know the best option for my situation, I did not once feel like I was being pushed towards the most expensive option. I was in and out in under 30 mins. No appointment needed. read more

My back right tire needed replaced and I was dreading having to deal with garages early enough in the morning I wouldn't be late for work. I originally made an appointment online at Pep Boys - huge mistake. I showed up only to wait ten minutes for them to tell me no way would they be able to help me today. Granted I missed the disclaimer to cal and verify the appointment, but that almost seems to defeat the point of online appointments. I digress. Still on a crunch for time I headed across town to Tire Town. From the minute I walked in the service was excellent. The guys were all really friendly and it took them all of 20 minutes to get a new tire installed and get me on my way. Would definitely recommend to anyone. read more

This place is a total joke! Had a car in for inspection a couple times and both instances they tried to nickle and time me. This time it's for the air presser in one tire is low. It happens when it's cold out, and they wanted 25.00 to "Check" it. Give me a break! Avoid this place at all costs... read more

Great service! Employees are super friendly and the service was done fast. Prices are definitely fair. I scheduled my appointment a week early (their soonest appointment), so they do get busy. Wegmans cafe is right around the corner, too. read more

Sent my daughter to Tire Town with a flat to be repaired. Read reviews and felt confident that she would be taken care of. She went in with four new Michelin tires and after two weeks, drove home to Pittsburgh, we had the car inspected, and much to my dismay found out that two flat Goodrich tires needed to be replaced and it wouldn't pass inspection! I guess some employee at Tire Town treated himself to two pretty sweet tires without my daughter knowing it. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shame on you for taking advantage of an unknowing young woman. read more

Walked through the door at 1:24PM, they are advertised as open until 2:00PM. I tell the gentleman at the counter I have one wheel that I need the tire removed from ( a task that takes a single tech all of 3-4 minutes) and receive a firm loud NO from a man at the opposite end of the counter. The gentleman at my end of the counter then says "sorry, we're all picked up". My reply was "I don't understand what that means". He then responds, "we're closing and going home early". I was literally speechless. Two counter men and 3 techs, only one of which looked like he was doing anything refused a request to do a 4 minute job with over 30 minutes remaining until their scheduled end of business for the day. This is what I get for trying to support a local business in-lieu of a chain during a time when local businesses are being crushed due to the pandemic. I left, went to the PepBoys across town and was in and out in 11 minutes. So much for them being "ready to fix it" as the website claims. read more

Drove from Phila to College park at night. Ran over a 5 inch bolt. Changed tire and drove over to Tiretown at 7:30am next morning. They were very helpful and really nice . Had them replace all of my tires. Reasonably priced and was completed by 8am read more

Tire Town fixed two problems on my car that weren't theirs and didn't make a big deal about it. I brought my 10 year old Rav 4 in for an inspection. The manager let me know that my front brakes and rotors needed to be replaced. My car already had squeaky brakes, but after I picked up the car it seemed more pronounced. I called Tire Town, brought the car back in and it turned out that the squealing brakes were the rear brakes - which they hadn't touched. They fixed the rear brake squeal for me and didn't make me feel like a moron. The back door also wasn't closing properly, they cleaned up the latch for me, without charge and now I can use my keyless entry again. They were professional, quick, and worth the price (which we thought was very reasonable anyway). They do more than the minimum for their customers and I certainly appreciated it. read more

Thank you for changing one tire at a good price so I could go home after a blow out. I found Tire Town after a Nearby tire center tried to sell me four tires, alignment, and works and I left on a donut. read more

Great service and trustworthy. I needed a state inspection knowing I would need new tires. The gave me a mileage discount. Quick and professional service. read more

Save your money and go elsewhere. I was seen as an easy target for unnecessary repairs because I'm female and look young, but I'm not stupid. I've been in the business before, so I knew what they were up to. The inspection on my car was running out, so I decided to come here. These guys wanted me to fork out $1200 on repairs. My suspicion level was high, so I went to another garage with a very well reputation. Doesn't hurt for a second opinion. The new garage checked everything on the list Tire Town made that "failed." Surprise! None of the parts needed replaced. read more

I had to get a flat tire repaired today, and as usual Tire Town came through for me. Significant because the first big snow fall was today, and they were slammed with snow tire installations. These are great guys and will bend over backwards for you. I've also been buying my tires there for years. read more

Friendly and quick. Tore the sidewall in a tire on my Toyota avoiding an accident. They replaced the tire and rotated my wheels. Took about 20-30 minutes and it was gameday in State College too. They didn't have the Pirellis I have on my car in stock but had a comparable tire. Only 120 for everything. read more

They are incredibly helpful, timely, and have great customer service! Would definitely come back here again!

Had a bad experience in 2009 went in for tires cost, owner was rude and not helpful and I left without any options he could have given except take it or leave it. 2016 n November re-visited to get price on set of snow tires, the counter sales guy was nice and helpful left with prices to think about it, returned one week later and was confronted with the owner, show him the tires and price i was quoted, he denied it and claimed wrong info, showed him the paper with the prices that was given to me, again he said here is my price, and walked away. So, I left and went to Walmart and ordered the same snow tires and saved $210.00. Never Again ! read more

I have had just one experience here, but the service I received was exactly how it was advertised. I purchased four tires here recently, 2 brand new ones and 2 used ones. I got all 4 tires for a pretty good price. The used ones are in great condition and only cost me about 50 bucks a piece. The service was fast and I was back on the road in about 40 minutes. Good stuff Tire Town. read more

Very unfriendly and unprofessional service. Avoid this place. You will regret. They charged me for wheel alignment but couldn't fix it. Disappointed. Very rude customer service read more

One star is greatly over rating their service! I took my 03 Toyota Corolla to the North Atherton St. Tire Town on August 14, 2009. I was told that I needed the following to pass: have my wheels balanced ($8.95), new windshield wipers ($23.90), and two new tires ($155.80). I was charged $33.95 for an emission test, $25.95 for a state inspection, and $2.00 for the inspection certificate. After their other little fees and taxes I spent $285.55 in total. For 2010's inspection I went to another service station, Walks Auto, and within five minutes of taking my car to the back, they showed me that the wrong brakes had been installed on my car the year before. I was shocked and horrified because those brakes were installed 4 months before the Tire Town inspection. For all their "buy this" "buy that" no one there took the time to check my brakes before saying that they passed the inspection. The problem with the brake size was clearly visible once the tires were taken off. When I called Tire Town to ask why my brakes weren't checked they told me that "that wasn't part of the inspection" after I told them that I had the paper work right in front of me they tried to back peddle. According to them the guys who put my tires on know nothing about breaks, "they just do tires". Since I was busy dealing with Pepboys (where the brakes were bought and installed 4 weeks before Tire Town passed my car on inspection without checking the brakes) and working, I called back a few days later to speak with that Tire Town's manager. He first tried to deny their wrong doing, told me that he was standing right next to the person I spoke to the last time and heard everything and I was mistaken. He proceeded to get very nasty! It wasn't until I told him that I would be reporting them to the state inspections certification office (7177872895 if you also need their #) that he rudely stated "well if we missed it we're sorry". They offered no reparations for the danger that their lack of basic skills put me, my family, and everyone else on the roads of State College in. Do everyone a favor and take your vehicle some place where they can be bothered to do their jobs. read more

Excellent customer service. Quick, affordable, and very easy to work with. This was my first experience with tire town and definitely not the last. read more

I've been going to Tire Town for about twenty five years now. I'm also very knowledgeable about cars. Tire Town is a great choice for auto repairs and tires. They won't do work you don't need and they'll tell you if they can't do something you want done. Their prices aren't the cheapest in town, but they're fair. They're straight shooters, so the give you the facts and don't candy coat things. Sometimes they could be a little friendlier about it, yes, but it's a minor point. To me, trust is a major thing when it comes to auto repair shops and they've never given me any reason not to trust them. I gladly recommend them to anyone. read more

Went in to have my all-season tires switched out for winter tires I've had for about two years now, and they took well over an hour to do the job. I was charged over $70 for a job I've had done for about $20 at other shops. They never mentioned the price or how long I would have to wait. I also never received an apology for having been made to wait for so long. read more

I chose to go to Midas first because of the reviews of this place. But after being told at Midas they could not look my car until Monday (it was the Friday before winter break), I came to Tire Town. I walked in and the man at the desk greeted me and was so friendly. I told him that all I needed was my hood looked it because it would not secure in the latch. Within 10 minutes they had a temporary fix so that I could get home and gave me some info on what could be wrong and what I might possibly need to do in the future. They didn't charge me a penny and sent me happily on my way. Very pleased with the friendliness and speed of service here. read more

I have a very bad experience in tires town, state college, PA. I had my state inspection done there and they told me that my brake light and brake rotors need to be replaced. According to their suggestions, I bought the parts by myself and had the job done by myself. Then about two weeks later after the first inspection, I call them to schedule a re-inspection. They told me that I should pay for the inspection again! What a bad service! Those guys just want to rob money out of your pocket! Never go to tires town again! read more
