Good and fast service gave me good tires and definitely keeps his word on his warranty even if it's of opinion on tire conditions he replaced it anyway!

Warning he over inflates your tires on purpose I'm leaving my original post, for now. I may come in with more detail later, but it's true. His singing could use some work, other than that it was the quickest, painless me tire purchase and install I've ever had. I appreciated the compliment on my tire plugging capabilities. Price..... Well only because the tire was near new I'll say good ( $65 ) but I hope they aren't always this price. Keep up the good work sir .... Whatever your names is.

He is ALWAYS THE FRIENDLIEST MAN IN TOWN! He’s quick and he’s efficient. He gives the BEST PRICES AROUND! I met him and his wife when they first opened on riverside! Such a sweet couple and have a sweet testimony also!

The guy seems like a decent guy. However we bought a used tire that immediately had issues. Went back the next day to get a new tire and paid the difference. A week later the car started rattling and we went to Firestone. The “new” tire had a massive bubble and was dated 2014.

Called ahead of time and he had my tire size in stock which is pretty rare for most places due to the wide tire with a low profile. He quoted me a great price and as soon as I arrived, he got straight to work and replaced both back tires very quickly. No issues and very friendly.
