It's good to know this place for flat tire emergencies. Their service is quick. I got a nail in my tire so have to get it fix. They were done in 10 minutes; I was the only customer at the time. Papi price for fixing a flat is high; $20 as of November today. They even ask for a tip. read more

See all

In and out in 10 minutes. Only charged for valve stem. Even on my dual rear van, jacked it up and got it fixed. Will use again

My tire has nail in it. I ask for a flat fix. The guy would not fix and recomended to replace the tire. FYI. My car just came out from Toyota Service Center and no report of tire worn out. I paid $10 to replace the spare tire into in. There are better place somewhere else. read more

I went in for a simple tire plug because I only had a nail in my tire. The guy working on my car removed the tire from the rim for god knows why when it clearly wasn't necessary. Then he told me I needed a new tire. Before I arrived, there was no visible damage or slash on the tire at all. After all that, he demanded payment and had a hostile, nasty attitude when I questioned him. It feels like the tire might have been damaged while in their care. Definitely take photos of your tire before handing it over and be cautious with this shop. read more

Went here to get two rear tires changed on my car. The mechanic used a pneumatic Air Mag impact wrench to take off my wheels which is fine, but I watched in amazement as he started to put on my LH rear wheel with the same pneumatic tool. I figured he knew what he was doing, but sure enough he stops and says "one is no good", and hands me a stripped nut. He assured me that its fine because its only one and started on my other wheel. I stood over him as he did the rear RH one and asked him if he could use a regular torque hand wrench instead, but he told me that was all he had and pointed to the Air Mag. I drove right to the auto parts store to buy more lug nuts and found that he actually stripped 3. Two of the other nuts had already come loose on the short drive there. Glad he didn't screw up the studs or else I would have been looking at spending more than just $20 on new lug nuts. read more

Avoid this place at all cost. First they don't sale used tires they try to sell you new tires. Then if you need a simple patch or plug they will tell you the tire is no good and you need a new tire. Go else where there's plenty of spots on northern Blvd way better. Bunch of lazy people work here. AVIOD THIS PLACE read more

Went in for tires and brakes, got exactly what I asked for. Great service, didn't have to wait too long to get my car taken care of, and I like the fact that I could go up the street a couple blocks to get an unexpected part to complete the repair. read more

Been going there for 5 years. Take my car there whenever I need. Kevin is awesome. Highly recommend! 100%

These guys always take care of me. There might be a wait as they're the closest shop off the BQE. I go to mount my winter wheels and to mount and balance new tires. These guys are reasonably priced and get it done quickly. No complaints with this shop. If you're complaining about prices, ask first before getting the service done. No reason why you're complain afterwards about pricing, there's a whole board with prices. read more

!!! VERY BAD !!!The service was extremely disappointing and significantly overpriced. The employees initially quoted one price, but after completing the work, they demanded a higher amount. Additionally, their unprofessional behavior included using offensive language and also called some people to fight me , which was highly inappropriate and unpleasant. read more

They stripped my wheel lug stud and would not take accountability. Go to a real tire shop! Avoid at all costs !!! read more

The tire shop is located two blocks from my apartment. I came in late Thursday night to have my two tires patched or plugged. Stay away from the Mexican guy with the ponytail who tried to hustle me into buying new tires. Both of my left-hand tires are slowly leaking. He informed me that the left rear tire was worn out and that I would need a new tire, which would cost $165. I told him I'd think about it and get back to him in a couple of days. He performed a water test on the front left tire and informed me that I needed a new tire. I told him to do the plug job, but he said he doesn't do that. lol He then tried to charge me diagnostic labor $10 for putting back the tires. There was no real work and I told him to call the cop on me. I let him know this is a civil manner so he can take me to court for an unpaid $10 diagnostic job. He said no more service for you and I left the scam tire shop. read more

My dad came here and insisted I leave a 5 star review. He was so happy with his service. He was having trouble with a tire because we're in the fall and the changes in pressure kept setting off his 'tire pressure alarm'. So he decided to take his car in to make sure it wasn't anything else. Lo and behold he actually had two leaks that were immediately repaired. My dad is so thankful and knows he can count on them when he goes back. read more

I drove by this place a lot so decided to come in one day for a tire change. I already bought a brand new tire on Amazon and I had the wheel off the car already (I was on my set of winter tires.) It was only $15 bucks to get the tire installed onto the wheel. The guy even checked to see if the directional arrow was pointing the right way. It may not seem like no big deal but I've been many places not even check. Overall, I was in and out in 10 minutes. I see the bad reviews but maybe it depends on the time of day? I came at around 9pm. read more

Came here around 4 am after work, been having problems with my car for awhile with my traction light. The dealership couldn't figure it out for months. But I noticed a nail and brought it here and made him check all my tires. Found the nail that was causing me misery for months. Service was thorough and quick. read more

This business is good for minor patch up work but overall they employ shady practices. You can pay for some work with a card, for some only with cash with no receipt - which means they do not pay all the taxes to the city and state. When you need to replace the tires, they have a very limited stock and overcharge for no name tires, takes an effort to get receipt (if you pay cash) and no mention of any warranty. Stay away. read more

I had a small screw in my tire, The screw was not anywhere near the sidewall (closer to the center) and did not fall in the groove, but on the block itself. In my experience with these sort of issues, and with other shops in this area, this is the kind of work a plug can take care of. I was not aware that the technician would be patching. That required me to get the tire re-balanced. Fine either way. My main issue is that I suspect this shop of committing Credit Card fraud!! Shortly after using my CC to pay this shop, my card was hit with fraud. This is not a card I use regularly, and definitely not one used online. In fact, I had not used this card in weeks prior. I had to get my card replaced as a result. Buyer beware. I give 2 stars because the patch has held up fine. read more

Please do no go here to change tires, they'll damage your rims, coat it with a lot of lube they use to cover damage on the rims so you can go home thinking everything is ok..couple of days later you notice, you go back to let them know, they'll come up with the story of why did it take you 4 days to notice??..how are you as a customer going to notice when there's snow and slush on the streets and all on tires...and they'll even cuss at you and twist things around saying you damaged it..you ask for the so called papi manager/owner and he's never around..all they say is he comes in and out probably just to collect money they rip people off with and just like the employee told me in front of more people waiting to get their flat fixed to go f myself..they run the business as if they where in a 3rd world country...Don't damage your rims here!!Theres better places! read more

Fine for a patch job. They are open 24 hours, and the mechanic is fast. Tire repair is what this place is good for; I think cabbies and cops come by. But for tire replacement, these guys are ripoff artists. Offered me three cheap to mid brands, and priced all of them within two bucks of $100, per tire, for four tires. Cash only of course. What? New tires are stored offsite, so any repair with new tires takes over two hours (guy will claim 90 minutes tops). Finally . . . the used tires here are USED. I had plenty of time to look around. These are highly worn out tires being sold, most of them over four years old (you can tell by a four digit code on the sidewall. "0206" means it was made second week in 2006). I saw many from 2006. That's older than the ones I was getting taken off (which I am sure they are going to try to sell back to you). read more

This place is horrible, we stopped by at 11:30 pm and they told us that he was not able to help us cause he was closing up meanwhile it says it's open 24 hrs, I begged him cause I had my kids in the car and was desperate and still said NO and was on his cell, horrible service. read more

The absolute worst. They ripped off my friend by charging him $85 for a USED tire that should've gone for $50. Stay away from this place. Super sketchy and not worth it. read more

very unprofessional , when i get there nobody come and ask what i need, lazy guys and they charged you $10 for by adding some air

Went to have tires rotated and after waiting 30 minutes, worker claimed that the owner would not allow them to rotate tires if they appear a little worn. I was not doing an inspection, therefore, policing a tire rotation smells like a sale tactic to sell their stale crappy worn tires. With the down turn in the economy they should be lucky to have someone's business. Serving the community is want they do not appear to be doing. THEY SUCK BIG TIME FOR PULLING THAT GARBAGE. Never again!!! read more

We had a nail lodged in one of our tires at 12am. We were looking for a place to get it fixed and found this place as we were driving around. Thank God for Tires by Papi! The awesome man did the job alone in less than 15mins for $15! We're so impressed that we gave him extra for a tip. Well done job! read more

AVOID AT ALL COST! Like all the other reviews, this place is a rip off. Came in with a low pressure signal and they insisted I needed a new tire for $110. I agreed because I was late for work. On my way to work, 30 minutes later the low pressure signal turned on again! I drove all the way back to this place and they said it was a nail in the other tire!? They are scam artists. They take your good tires and resell them for profit. Go to Punjab Auto on 21st St in Astoria - fast, cheap and always reliable. read more

BEWARE! stay away. Got quote to take my TPMS from factory rims to new ones. Was told one price but charged more when I took it to him days later. Specifically asked if any other charges apply during quote, he said no. Used tricky practices to add cost, (especially if you don't speak their language). Now the wheels are OFF balanced even though they came balanced from online site and they deliberately broke all the stem valves. Have to do it again. Must think everyone is stupid. While waiting another customer came and told them they put the wrong size (used) tire and feel unsafe. The manager said he didn't personally sell him the tire and the other guy is not there. No receipt, no help. You've been warned, go at your own risk! Not worth the HASSLE. It's about TRUST. read more

Had a problem with my tiire and had AAA come out and put on the donut. Then went over to Papi's. It was a tossup between Great Bear and Papi's but my daughter said we always pass by Papi's lets give it a go. Went to the joint whick is now called Who's Papi which was always our question. Guys checked the damaged tire and proclaimed it unrepairable and then offerred aused but completely serviceable tire for $45! Tire was not worn and was in pretty good condition.They put tire on in jiff and off I go. Only 4 stars as couldnt pay with credit card and couldnt check other tires cause their hose was frozen. Oh and I got a free box of holiday cookies to boot! read more

AVOID AT ALL COST!! I went in here to patch a small leak in my tire. My TPS was alerting, about every 7 days. I saw the worker take my tire in to the back and he was trying to find the leak. After about 10 minutes of him being unable to find the leak, I SAW him take a screwdriver and puncture the tire. He then calls me to the back, shows me 2 huge holes, and says I need a new tire. I refused, had him put on the tire and came back in the morning(Tire almost completely flat) to talk to management, which is a joke. They know what they're doing(Ripping people off) and they will deflect and defer. Never got a refund or a new tire. STRAIGHT GARBAGE ESTABLISHMENT read more

As a tire repair shop, I don't care their service or technic. But it's open on Sunday and 24 hrs. It should earn over 3 stars. I give 5 stars since I don't need to take a haft-day-off to repair my tire on Monday. read more

Lazy, rip-off artists. Had a tire with low pressure and wanted it patched up but the guy insisted that I needed to buy a new tire. I didn't believe him. Drove somewhere else and they patched it up for 15 bucks. Go on Northern Blvd. there's a ton of honest shops. read more
