I’ll always go to Joe’s now. The other week on a Saturday, I noticed a tire in really bad shape, and I was just a couple blocks from Joe’s.… read more I drove there. When I saw how busy they were, the line of cars waiting to get in, the busy waiting area, technicians running around all over there place, I did not expect they would be able to take me that day.
They did, no problem – what a place! They are so professional, knowledgeable, efficient and NICE. They easily and smoothly handled all us customers. My technician quickly helped me pick tires, someone gave me a ride home, 2 hours later the same person picked me up and it was all done. EASY!
I’m a super-happy customer. I’ve been going to America’s Tires in Walnut Creek for 20 years, and they are excellent too. But what convenience to have this kind of customer service, and a ride home, that meant a lot. From now on, it’s Joe’s. I’m so happy I found them.

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.

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!

Horrible service.
Is not even about the closing time, is the employees’ attitude.
