Tire Mart and Auto Express in Livermore

This place is amazing. I bought a 2011 Volvo in January that I have had nothing but issues with since I got it. Luckily Kevin was able to work with me to get it to a condition where I could drive it safely. I’ve worked in the auto industry so I know how dishonest people in this industry can be. Kevin and Leo have been honest about the repairs I need and not overcharging me either which I super appreciate. I’m very grateful for these guys, they have saved me multiple times in the past few months with my car issues.

These guys are real proud mechanics. They’re not here to steal your money. They will fix your car and make you happy.

They saved my vacation! It was a Friday afternoon and my wife and I were heading to Southern California for a vacation. Unfortunately, our Ford Expedition died just east of the Altamont. We coasted to the side of the freeway and called for a tow. We called three different mechanics in Livermore, but all of them said they would not be able to look at it until at least Monday. We then called Tire Mart. Leo answered the phone. I explained my dilemma and told him I thought it might be the Throttle Actuator Control system based on the error code from my ODB2 monitor. Leo proactively ordered the part for me based on my phone call. We arrived late Friday afternoon and dropped the car off. The replacement part also arrived late Friday. Leo said they would give it priority service on Saturday morning. Around 10am, Leo called and said the Ford was fixed! Vacation saved! The Ford runs great. Prices were very fair. Service was above and beyond excellent. This was our first time to use Tire Mart. We will certainly use them in the future.

Very happy with Continental tires that they recommended for my Mazda 3. These tires are right blend of performance AND smoothness over a trouble free year of driving. Premium tires upgraded the feel of my car just like good shoes on your feet. Thanks Leo. Kevin and then team can mount and balance with highest precision for optimum results.

I have been going to this place for 6 years now. Every time they have done excellent work for a great price. Even when I moved I tried a couple other shops and immidiately regretted it. Luckily, Big Kev and Leo up front have always fixed others mistakes and given the best advice. I cannot imagine a better shop that takes better care of their customers and their customers vehicles. The quality of their work is bar none along with their customer service and proffesionalism. If you live within 50 miles of this place, it is worth the drive or the tow.

Very friendly staff, fixed only the problem. Very reasonable prices, gave me multiple options, explained the problem in simple terms. Got me back on the road ahead of schedule. Been back with other vehicles same great service. Highly recommend shop. These guys fix your car right the first time! Thankyou Tire Mart!

I am a young female and generally have bad experiences dealing with auto mechanics. I’ve heard great things about Aabco in town and went there several times on recommendations from multiple people, but they consistently had at least one person there who treated me with contempt and condescension. This place was recommended to me by folks at America’s Tires, which has been my go-to since moving here. The person at the counter, Kevin, was incredibly friendly, and honest. I had to do a 100,000 mile service on my car and he gave me an estimate that was almost exactly what I paid. He also explained everything to me without me having to ask. Great experience and I’d go there again in a heartbeat. Edit, update. I posted this when I was new to Tiremart. I now have an extensive history with them and a very different opinion. I think they are a mix of good and bad. Kevin is well-meaning I think. He went as far to chew out the company that installed my new transmission for not completely solving a communication issue between my taillight blinker and the transmission itself. However... I just found out they changed out my taillight for one that doesn’t fit my car. I have had to have them change this part out multiple times (a result of the same communication error), and the last time they did it, it was suggested I take my car into a dealership to solve the problem permanently. When I did, the dealership solved the problem for good... Until the part that didn’t fit my car came loose and I had to come back to get the right part. What they did wound up costing me a lot of extra money—about $700 plus $200 diagnostic—that wouldn’t have been spent if the part was the right part for my car. And... while I understand it may have been frustrating to try to allay a problem they couldn’t fix, they should have done their due diligence to the end. Now, I don’t know what else they might have done that was suspect in nature. Not someplace I’d go again at this point.

All I can say is WOW! Over heard this place recommended and was very nervous due to experiences recently in my personal life, but I took a shot and took my vehicle in for #starter replacement. When we called for availability they told us to bring it in that day. Within 2 hours we had received a call with a proper diagnostic and confirmed it was the starter. Like most car places we received a call and they expressed a concern with our #radiator (knowing the taboos and rumors that circulate around car mechanics) we we're hesitant but went ahead and allowed the radiator to be replaced... By noon the following day the car had been completed and ready for pickup when I arrived to pick up the vehicle the mechanic had pictures proving the condition of the radiator and in fact it was in need of replacement. Highly recommended! I am overwhelmed with the friendly, informative, and rapid service I received. I will be taking my vehicle there from now on. Thank you Tire Mart! Yoy truly changed my car mechanic experience forever! Keep up the good work. That's what I call... good business!
