Paul’s Used Tires & Rims

You have to jack up the car yourself and also remove the rim from the car. They charged me $ 10 to patch a nail hole from the inside and $ 5 to balance the wheel. I then had to put the rim back on the car myself. They provide a jack and the gun for the wheel nuts. The tire repair was done very professional! Would no recommend them if you have low profile tires as the machine they use is very basic. Nice group of guys and very well priced!

If you need tires this is the place to go. The prices are fair and the staff is great and very friendly and helpful. The used tires are not bald and something that will only last a couple of weeks or days. If you need new tires they have great prices too. I’ve seen other places around but it is worth the drive to go here.

These guys were terrific. I was told by NTB in Germantown that my tire wasn’t fixable, and because I have an AWD, I would have to replace all four tires (40,000+ mileage). I cam to this place. In 15 minutes they had patched my tire for $ 15. Awesome. It’s good to see there are honest people out there.

I am so glad I found this place. Most employees there were really helpful and friendly. It was really cool as they patched up my tire in 10 minutes and then provided cool tools to put the tire on my car. I will be sure to be back for all my tire needs!

Not much help given and people just standing around chatting. You do all the work including finding the tire and putting it on,. There was one gentleman who was helpful when he saw me having problems. What was interesting was the young lady who said «I’ll be right with you» and proceeded to order lunch for the guys while standing and chatting but then told me after 10 minutes, «oh you have to do it, if we do it we charge $ 10. Just shady for a $ 57 tire.

I’ve been going here for ages. I love the place and I love the prices, the people that work there aren’t really rude, they just won’t hold your hand during the entire process.
You take off the tires yourself, then they take it from there. They repair it if it can be repaired, and if not they ask you to pick out two used tires to attach to your car.

This place is awesome! I was stressing about replacing my bent rim for about a week… I found this gem online, walked in to their warehouse, told them the type of car I had, and they found a match for me instantly, changed my donut, set the new rim on my tire and sent me on my way in 20 mins or less. The price was just fine, and it was the easiest thing ever… I highly recommend!

I have never written a review but I believe Paul’s deserves my first. This is a no frills used tire shop and you may have to get your hands a little dirty looking for what you need. All the guys there know what they are doing and are very friendly! They mounted and balanced 4 used Goodyear Wrangler AT/​S on my FJ Cruiser with ¾ tread life left for what it would have cost for 1 new tire anywhere else. I highly recommend Paul’s and in the future I will not go anywhere else! Furthermore I immediately took my truck onto 270 and it was smooth sailing. Thank you Paul’s!

This place is good to get tires cheap and you do need to put in your own work which I don’t mind because I do all my own work on all my cars that I own, but this place has very rude and unfriendly employees the only cool person is the owner the other employees are rude even if you approach them friendly.
I doubt I will return here in the future but honestly not a bad place to get tires and do it yourself work.

MORE IMPORTANT! These guys a great honest and blunt. Do not go there expecting 100% full service. It is NOT full service. You go there remove your rim/​tire bring it to them. They tell you where you can find the fires you need and you go get them bring ti to them and they remove old tire, mount new one, balance it and give it back to you to go back out and mount them yourself. If you REALLY need help they will assist but you better have tried your best. The flashlight idea is a good one. Again these guys are nice and honest but blunt and not for someone who needs nice soft language. You will however walk out with a well mounted, balanced., leak tested and good tire for as little as $ 41.

My whole family loves this place. My dad goes there religiously whenever we need new tires for any of the family cars. I am currently in search of some tires for my old pickup truck and I’m confident they will find me some.
You can’t beat the price. This is not some foodie joint. so most Unilocalers who don’t know a damn thing about cars will be taken back by the fact that you need to jack your own car up and help out a little. Hence why everything is so cheap.
If you can’t handle that, you can just goto a goodyear and pay for some new tires!

I had small a leak in my tire and stopped in to have it serviced. They took care of me and the price was great. They don’t just plug a tire, they patch it to imake sure it is a permanent fix. This was my fourth time here, and the service has always been great. If possible they give you options and let you choose. No high pressure here.
They are very friendly and helpful. They go right to work to get you out as soon as possible. You won’t find marble floors or fancy trimmings, but the price and service can’t be beat. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.

IMPORTANT: Bring a good FLASHLIGHT. Paul’s is very dark and you will not be able to see tire sizes without a flashlight. A pair of work gloves is advisable as well.
Paul’s is a large cramped dark warehouse of used tires in good condition. It is not what I would call a «full service» used tire shop. It is more of a Pull Your Parts business model.
You do most of the work yourself in terms of finding tires among long dark, informally marked isles of tires, you pull them from the up to 15 ft high shelves, you then pull off your old wheels, THEY R&R THE TIRE, and you replace the wheel on your car. And, for this you get a really rock bottom price.
They do supply lift racks and airguns to help you pull your tires.
It is clear from the demeanor of the staff and set up that the only thing the workers want to do is actually remove the old tire from the rim and install the «Paul’s» tire on the rim. Everything before and after that magic step is up to you.
If you don’t mind a dirty hands car shop adventure, you can leave with a great set of tires at a great price. If you don’t have patience for a little adventure and aren’t willing to put in some work, it is probably not your place.
If you know what you are looking for and are handy, you should be able to get through the process and be rolling in 30 – 45 minutes.
Overall, I would recommend them as good used tires at good used tire prices.

This place is fun and cool as heck. Don’t go there if you’re not ready to get dirty with an impact wrench.

The best thing about this place is that they’re quick. Drive in, pick your tire, and they mount it right away.
OK, that’s the second-​best thing. The best thing is that they let you use the pneumatic wrench (rrrr-​RRR!). For a desk jockey like me, it was the highlight of my week. Apparently they require you to pull the wheel yourself, unless you’re female. Ladies, I’m sure they’ll let you use the wrench if you ask.
As for the comments from @Edward and @Janis (filtered), this isn’t a regular retail establishment. There’s no counter, so it’s hard to know who to talk to. Still, it’s not that difficult a process to find someone to help. Yes, they razzed me about having to ask how to reverse directions on the wrench, but I have a sense of humor.
Prices are OK. These are used tires, so they should be pretty cheap. I consider patching a DIY job

Grabbed a perfectly good 185 60R 14 for my VW GTI today
in and out in less than 40 minutes
$ 31 including mount and balance
I happened to have to be in Montgomery Village on a business meeting anyway, shot down Snouffers School Rd and got back to Frederick Maryland before 6pm
RE: Edwards C’s bad experience with the guys that work there being disrespectful:
I did not have that impression, now that might be because of what I’d classify as «Class War», the guys that work there are Blue Collar (I used to be a CDL truck driver before I became a nationally recognized expert on search engine algorithms)
Hockey players don’t hang around Chess players
just my take on it anyway
