Omg it was my first time of getting a flat tire. I am flat tire virgin 🤫🤣. Put in some fix a flat to be able to drive to the shop. They took me in so fast and patched me up in 15 mins. All staff is very friendly and professional, very pleasant experience. A true gem helping a tire at a time, was established in the 80s, definitely gives like classic good vibes. You are amazing, thank you guys! 💐🫶🏻
Charged me more (just for labor) than what mercedes benz (of beverly hills) dealer would've charged me for PARTS and labor, then added another $50 because the lug bolts were difficult to unscrew...?
Old fashion service. Drive up to the shop with no appointment and the service manager comes to the car and he asked what the problem was. I told him I had a flat tire. I had changed the flat and had on the spare. The manager told an employee to take care of it. It was fixed under half an hour. Charged me $40 since he had to put in two plugs to fix the big hole. There was no waiting no over charging and no upsell. I will take my car to this shop in the future. Best service.
Bought a new tire. $200 after tax. 2 months later there’s a bulge and a leak coming from one of the tire’s rivets. Brought it back, I thought they had a warranty. Said no warranty, and told me it wasn’t new. Wasn’t repairable. Said I ran over a nail. But there’s no nail. The leak came from a rivet, not a new hole, nail, or a slice. I guess I’m better off buying a used tire or a new tire from someone else who honors the warranty. They did sell me a used tire for $20 so I will keep coming here. But you expect new tires to last a few years.
Simply fantastic. I will go here anytime I have a tire related issue. Both my wife and I had screws in our tires. I brought my car to Pep Boys who stated they would not plug or patch, and even told me to come here. I ended up at Marina Tire where Rick (I think) said he would have it plugged in 40 minutes. I grabbed a coffee at Rockenwagner and by the time I came back my car was done. $30. I drove home, filled up my wife's tire enough to get me the 2 miles to the shop and this time it was maybe 10 minutes to repair. Another $30. I was stressed out with both cars having issues and we had both cars up and running by 10am. There are multiple unwarranted 1-starts reviews on here, even one about the waiting room, which is ridiculous. It's an auto shop. I will continue to bring my vehicles here for tire and alignment fixes.
Old school tire guys. Fixed my runflats. Removed a screw and put in a plug. $25 and 10 minutes to back on the road. They will also patch runflats. Fyi.
I dropped my car off for two tires installed, when paying the owner told me “only $80, that’s cheap, no tip?” I went to my car, it was parked under a man on a ladder painting the front of the building. I could see some splatter on my car. I asked him if he would fix it, he said no we didn’t do that. I said who did? He said I don’t know “ maybe my step mother, do you know her?” I left very angry. I had done business here once before and left feeling belittled, but was hoping it was just a bad day for the owner. Nope, he is just low class. Do not go here if you expect the owner to respect you or be responsible for his work.
Very precise and honest business practice. I had a alignment issue and they got me great deal and tires and fixed it in no time. Surprisingly in this day and age, there are people places like this who care about customers and not try to rip them off with obscene prices. Top rated business on my list.
