Orozco’s Tires

Wow so I called a head just to make sure they had the correct tire to replace mine (I hit a pothole and had an inner wall rupture). They did!
I Pulled in and before I even got out my car they had the tires pulled and were already to go. 10 minutes later I was out of there paying 150 for a new low profile tire.
Efficient like a pit crew and at a low price!

I have been going to this business for years, and in complete honesty, I have had no complaints about their tire service. But if they offer to work on your car, RUN!
I had no idea they were unlicensed to repair work, and they offered to do a small repair on my older Prius, and as I had nothing but good experiences with them in the past, I thought I would have them do it.
Somehow a smog repair turned into them KILLING my HV battery, and after weeks of excuses including people being in the hospital, waiting for parts, etc, we had to call the Bureau of Automotive repair to get my car back. They had it for 27 days, over the holidays forcing me to rent a car last minute for christmas weekend at 111/​day, not to mention all the Lyft rides etc…
I actually wasn’t going to write a review… I thought about it a lot over that month and I decided that they do good work for their stated business and I was foolish for not checking them out for a different service. Then I got my car back…
They took it for a joy ride, in excess of 100 miles put on my car while it was «waiting to be fixed». I was stunned, and still cannot comprehend how they thought they would be able to get away with it. I guess they thought I wouldn’t track my mileage, but I watch it closely.
Taking my car and using for any purpose while I am deprived of it is a huge trust issue, and that is something that everyone should be aware of. Utilizing their business usually doesn’t mean leaving your car with them, but if they ever suggest it, or suggest that they do repairs on your car… run.
Now, this resulted in them getting a 5k fine and not being able to charge me for any of the work they did (not what I requested, only for some reason replacing my HV battery with a refurbished one) and I am still in the process of reviewing all my expenses (including breaking my back seat seatbelt holder, breaking the ring that keeps my ekey on my keyring, and making my car filthy) and we may be taking them to small claims court as well.
Keep your eyes open there my friends.

It might look like this place is too busy to help you — most likely not the case, even if their tiny lot is full. Park where you can, and go talk to the dude with the earrings. They swapped our tires in 30 minutes (we had time to get groceries at Berkeley Bowl and walk back). Unfortunately, even though our receipt indicated the tires we had agreed to purchase, the workers had put on tires one size too large. They’d already swiped my debit card, but they were very apologetic and immediately began the do-​over. To make up for it, they upgraded our tires to Continentals. It wasn’t dirt cheap ($ 90/​tire) but it was super convenient.
Maybe the service at this place can take a dive a few times a year, looking through these reviews, but for me and my wife, couldn’t have asked for more. Also, they easily took my debit card — not a word about «cash only.»
The tires did great in a heavy rain storm last night, and handled perfectly in the Sierras. If anything changes in the near future, I’ll update this, but so far, A++.

Brought 2 used (almost new) tires and he got me the best price and fastest service i seen around in less than 15 minutes i was out of there no b. s no catch just a simple cash transaction he doesnt take debit cards for a used tire so keep that in mind also speaks spanish! Thanks u

Super shady. I called around and his deals literally work out to the same price as other places.
He also had several deals and when you know the price of things (because internet), it doesn’t make sense where the savings are?
I called and took notes on the price I was quoted, when I got there the price had magically changed :(and he was unwilling to talk about it.
Can’t tell if he’s sexist or if his bad customer service is just offensive to my sensibilities but, if you feel weird go somewhere else.
I called around and found a place almost $ 100 cheaper and very straight forward with no price changes.
Wish I could have loved this place as much as others have. Oh well.

This place is the best. Very friendly and intelligent staff. Came in with horrible tires, that were about to fall off my car. They knew what they were talking about and helped me make a great decision in the tire I needed and services I should get. The tires were priced at 90 a piece with instillation, and did 4 of them for 350! I asked if I should get an alignment because the car was wobbling. Instead of trying to con me, they told me it was because I had a bubble in my tire and insisted that I was good without it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that needs tires. The whole process took less than an hour. Very happy!

This place never fails. I wouldn’t get tires anywhere else unless I had to. Nope, it’s not fancy. Some may even say a little sketchy looking at first glance — but don’t let that sway you. Honest people doing honest work and will get you up and running in no time. I’m so glad I mistakenly found this place a few years ago — very lucky. Thanks Orozco’s, for being awesome! :)

I don’t know what place the other reviewers are reviewing. Same price as 2 other places I called but HORRIBLE service. Like the worst bunch of morons working here. Maybe it was like April Fools or something the day I went. idk but they wasted about an hour of my time only to tell me they do not actually have the tires I wanted. Anyplace else would be better than this place. Plus the work space is an absolute disaster zone. Mostly just beat up Berkeley Prii (Priuses) who don’t know any better shop at this place. And big ass trucks.

The people is amazing ! Super nice! They explain you if you have a problem, what do you need to do. They are fast repairing. And cheap.
I really recommend is you have an emergency they are fast to help you with it. Highly recommended.

Well, no need to pile on but Victor and his crew are the man/​men. Showed up, needed tires, they had them, I bought them, they installed them, I paid, I left. Whole process took about 30 minutes. And came with a bottle of wine. Class act, fast act, nothing fancy but if you care mostly about results, go here.

In a word, GENEROUS. Don’t expect a glitzy, shiny shop. But this place is kind and very efficient. I think I was there for a total of 15 minutes and drove away with a content smile on my face. The up-​sell to more expensive tires was respectful and fair. I never felt pressured either. Basically my experience is similar to other positive experiences that are posted here. Yup, I will be a return customer. Hope those guys have a great holiday.
OK I went back today to get 2 more new tires for the same car. Very positive experience that ended with a huge smile and cheerful «Happy Holidays» w/​a complementary bottle of wine. I was OVERJOYED! SHOCKED! and HAPPY! What a treat and a nice way to buy tires.

If you live in Berkeley or the surrounding areas buy your tires here. With the purchase of new tires it includes lifetime free rotation and lifetime flat fixes. Anyone who complains about a flat fix here probably did not buy your tires here, as these guys do good work and stand by their service. So, if you had your flat fixed here and were not a tire customer, you should have taken your car back as they are good people. However, if you got your flat fixed here and then went somewhere else to fix the same flat then you just unwisely wasted your own money, as Orozco’s stands by their work.

8 stars! If I could…
Very small, quaint shop. Kind of cool in that regard. Came here for two new front tires a while back. Very reasonably priced; paid in cash. Super fast change. I got a flat tire from a nail a few months after that. Went back to Orozco’s for a patch, but they found that the wheel shredded the inside of the tire. The owner gave me a new tire for free (because it was so recent)! That won me over. \m/

I love this place. I’ve been going to Orozco’s for the past few years, and I feel particularly compelled to write a review.
One gorgeous Thursday morning, as I was on my way to work, the Air Pressure warning went off on my dashboard. I stopped at a nearby gas station along my way from San Ramon to Oakland, and checked the pressure, only to notice that there was a bubble on my front left tire. Thankfully, I was already in Oakland when that happened, so made my way to see Victor and his team at Orozco’s.
He didn’t have any new tiresthat would have worked for my car, so we went with some used ones. Victor said that the tires would be in later that afternoon, and he’d put the used ones on for me, and change them out that afternoon. He put the tires on… and didn’t charge me! I offered to pre-​pay the new tires, because I wouldn’t be able to get back there til the following day. Victor wouldn’t have it. He totally trusted me to come back.
And come back to give him my business, I will! You don’t get great customer service, respect and trust like this everywhere, so when you find a business that has all of these qualities, you keep supporting them!
Thanks Orozco’s!!!

A+ for speed. F– for actual repair job.
Had a nail in tire, needed repaired fast. Big O Tires next door had 45min wait. This shop took me right in. Repair was quick and smooth, $ 25. Great! Get on the freeway, steering wheel + entire car is shaking. Issue? Repaired tire was not balanced after it was put back on rim. Lug nuts were not torqued to spec either.
Come on guys — at least mark the tire before taking off and put in the same place on the rim when done!
Took car to Firestone in El Cerito — 5 min balance on their Road Force balance machine — $ 17. Torqued lug nuts to spec. Vibration gone, problem solved.
Next time will take to Firestone.

My go to place to fix a flat or have my tire replaced for a used one. They are very fast and affordable. Highly recommended

My tire blew out on the freeway at the crack of dawn and after putting on the spare, I figured I’d just call a tire shop when they opened and I’d get a new tire and be done with it. Well, apparently no one carries a tire for my car (VW Fastback)…except Orozco’s.
So not only were the only folks who had the tire (I called 4 other places) but they had the new tire on in less than 15 minutes.
Thorough and efficient. They’re good. I’ll definitely be going back.

Love these guys. Got me out of a bind when my tires were out on a rainy day. They offered me a great price for four tires. On top of that, free tire rotation, free patching, and one free replacement!
You can tell these guys care about their tires; locally owners, fast, and a great experience.

I’ve been here a few times over the years and have never been anything less than blown away by the service.
Most recently, I brought my car here to have a patch done after discovering a large screw in one of the rear tires. Was told that both rears were well past the end of their life anyway and that it would be best to just replace them both. Orozco’s offered to sell me two (very lightly) used tires at a steal… $ 35/​each including the install. In the time that it took me to walk across the street and pull some cash from the ATM (this is a cash-​only business!), the tires were on and I was on my way to work.

I’m your typical woman and don’t have any knowledge about cars except getting the oil changed when the little sticker on my windshield tells me to.
I found out my tires were so worn/​damaged that I should’ve had them changed 4+ months prior to even calling Orozco’s tires! My alignment was off and cutting into the front tires horribly. The back tires were basically bald. *insert female driver jokes here*
I call this place up and get a quote for generic tires and tell me that they can change them today in 25 minutes.
Then I have my dad call them because he wants to discuss tire quality and whatnot. I end up going to get bigger, nicer, snazzier name brand tires and was quoted $ 125 per tire. It took less than 40 minutes and spent my time at a café down the street making calls and drinking a coffee.
I pick my car up and the guy gives me a free tire and I spend way less than what he quoted me. He’s the sweetest man and wished me luck on a job interview and in life. He remembers little details about his customers and treats them right.
Being new to the area and not knowing about tires or cars in general, I’m happy to trust him and would recommend this place to everyone!
Quick and quality work for a great price!
Also they take cards here! Not cash only like other reviewers mentioned.
