They were reasonably priced, very pleasant and honest. They could have tricked me into buying a new tire when all it really needed was a patch. When I do need… read more new tires, I will definitely go to this place. Their shop is immaculately clean, and they have a nice waiting area.

Tesla had failed me and my alignment was severely off resulting in my tire wear being very uneven.
No fear because Joe’s Tires fixed it well within the allotted… read more estimate time (just over an hour vs the est. 2 hours). I even had to cut my coffee time short because they were so quick, which, as an added bonus there are tons of shops and restaurants around the area to hang out at while you wait.

Got a flat driving around Berkeley. Needed a fix or replacement tire. Got a brand new tire I guess was fine and worked. But not a good… read more deal. Nice folks. Quick and good if you in a pinch around CollegeTown.

My air pressure light came on again a couple days after I had filled the tires due to my front right tire being low. After re-checking, I realized the… read more tire must have a leak. I drive into Joe’s Tires straight from summer camp pick up after a very short search for places nearby– shortly after 4pm. I expected to have to make an appointment for the next day or later in the week and also assumed I would need to replace the tire. To my surprise and delight, I was helped right away. They took the car and said it would probably be about an hour. 15 minutes later they called to say it was a simple fix– a screw had punctured the tire and they plugged the hole and patched it up. $35 and 15 minutes?? Amazing. They have my business for our two family cars for life!! Friendly, fast, fair.

Really good service. Tito advised me on my options for tires in a very trustworthy manner, without making any hard sells. Also, they said they’ll provide free tire… read more rotation after 6 months.

This review is long overdue. I’ve been going to Joe’s for years, I think 3 sets of tires now. They are honest and stand by their product.

Came 15 min to 6pm for them to check my tires… the guy said I have another job I can’t help you.
Manager said: “tire repair takes an… read more hour”
Horrible service.
Is not even about the closing time, is the employees’ attitude.

So I realized my car had a very flat tire today and called around to see if I could get a same-day fix. Other places said no or were hard… read more to get a hold of but when I called Joe’s, they said they could do it and they did! I was so relieved to be able to get it taken care of and Tito and his guys did an amazing job.
Honestly, going to a garage or a place that works on cars as a woman who doesn’t know very much about cars is intimidating. This obviously wasn’t something I could have put off for later (I would have if I could have ) so in we went. Tito was upfront, honest, and knowledgeable and which made me feel comfortable about the whole process and service. We ended up having to replace two of my tires so Tito explained AND showed me why (which was helpful so I didn’t feel like I was getting taken advantage of). AND these new tires even come with a warranty that my previous tires didn’t have!
I’d recommend this tire shop to anyone in the area who needs a tire rotation, realignment, or replacement. I’m glad I came here and won’t be anxious at all about bringing my car back for my next tire rotation. These guys are great and worth every cent.
Thank you, Tito!
