Evans Tire & Service Center

Went in this morning to order new tires and set up an appointment. I waited a good 10 minutes before I was even acknowledged. After another 5 minutes of not being helped I went down the road to Discount Tire where I was greeted immediately and offered a great deal with a rebate. Sorry Evans!

Kevin was super friendly and set me up with 2 new tires after I came into the shop desperate in the midst of a crazy El Niño storm! Also, after discovering one of my wheels was extremely bent, Kevin called around and got me a quote on a new rim. It was a bit high so he helped me track down one from another shop that had a better price. Great, personable, and speedy service. I will definitely be back in the future when I need more work done!

I’ve been here before and they’ve always been very kind and timely. Unfortunately today that didn’t happen and I’ll no longer be bringing my business there.
I saw a mechanic talking with a couple customers in the parking lot, so I walked inside to wait, or to see if someone could help me in there. I didn’t wait long, but he finally walked in with the two customers following him (there was also a man in front of me trying to apply for a job) and the mechanic announces «You guys got questions? I’ll tell ya right now I’ve got these two in front of ya and I’m backed up 4 hours»
The WAY he said all that was rude, there’s a difference between that and «hey folks I’ll be with you in a minute I’ve got these two to help right now and I’ve got a lot of cars to take care of so it’ll be about 4 hours.»
I originally thought I would stick around since I only have a nail in my tire they might be able to squeeze me in somehow, but he was even more rude to the man applying for the job, so I left.
The way you handled your customers made you lose a customer, I won’t be returning, and I’ll be sure to steer all friends and family in the direction of a tire place with friendlier staff.

Stopped in to get a new set of tires after my dealership said I needed a new set. Other Unilocal reviews seemed a little higher than Discount, so I decided to give it a try. Great experience with good prices. I got 4 new tires same day.

Kevin really out performed. I had a quote initially from Mike and when I decided to pull the trigger, Mike wasn’t at the store and Kevin helped seal the deal. Great experience, great discounts and deals at the end of year. Got a nitrogen fill up and 4 free lift tickets!
Way to go Evans Tire. Thank you

These guys were awesome. I was having one of the worst days of my life and to top it all off I had to be somewhere ASAP and I get in my car and find a large piece of glass embedded in my tire. Great, just what I needed. I googled local tire places to help me either put the spare tire on, or worst case scenario, replace the tire. I see that this place is down the street and pull in there. They not only took a look at it right away, but within 5 minutes they pulled the glass shard out of my tire, did not charge me and refused to let me tip them for saving me. My boyfriend then took his car in here to get tires a couple weeks later and they were so helpful again. They took the time to discuss the options, didn’t try to oversell and weren’t pushy at all. It’s rare that I feel comfortable with an automotive shop, but these guys I can trust. I’m coming here for all my car needs.

Needed a tire rotation and these guys took complete care of me. Highly recommend this place. Service is personal and professional.

let me start from the beginning I had a little mishap and did some sidewall damage to one of my tires so I went to a tire place to get it fixed and they gave me a price of $ 300 telling me that I needed to tires so that really got me down considering right now because of the holidays I didn’t have the money. I bought these tires brand-​new at Evans in Pacific beach so after going to the other place I came here to Evans tire and the manager Mike greeted me at the door with a friendly smile and asked how he could help I told him my dilemma and he immediately told me not to worry that I had road hazard and he would get it replaced no problem he also put a second tire on for me and made sure to accommodate to all my needs he was very professional and easy to work with I recommend anyone with tire needs go see him I couldn’t be happier with the service I received definitely worth every penny of what I originally paid for the tire super awesome service thanks again Mike!!!

Bought new tires for my wrx in May of 2014 at another Evans location. Since day one there was issues with the balance at freeway speeds. Quite annoying, not to mention how confidence in the cars handling decreased. After 3 or 4 attempts at the purchase location with no improvement I took it to P.B. In about 90 minutes the car is smooth again. Hopefully it lasts. Thanks guys

Great services, great price, very friendly staff. Did awesome job on the alignment. Now I’m driving my car with big smile on my face. I wanted to give a call the same them personally but I think this is better, GO check them out!

Great service! I’ve had my oil changed here a few times, it is always quick and easy. Today I came in with a flat tire, Kevin and the rest of the crew took great care of me. I will definitely continue to bring my car in.

Kevin saved my life… LITERALLY! We recently had a rain storm in San Diego. Rare, but it does happen. As I was driving (as I am always driving for work), I felt as if I had no control over my car. I was driving in the slow lane on the freeway and I kept «hydro-​planing» or at least that is what it felt like. I called my brother who told me to check my tires using the «penny test». This is where you stick a penny in the thread of your tire and see how much of Lincoln’s head is covered (or something like that!). I pulled over, took out my quarter (as who has pennies these days?) and ummm… what thread? My tires were perfectly smooth! And unlike areas of your body, smoothness on your tires is a bad thing! That is when I brought my car into Evan Tires.
Not only was Kevin super helpful but he showed me what to look for when checking my tires in the future. As I was on my knee looking underneath my car, he pointed out all the metal wires coming out of my tires. They were about as bald as they could possibly get, which is obviously dangerous.
September, being one of my most expensive months as wedding season and baby showers come to an end, I was not looking forward to another hefty bill. He worked with me to find the best option for my safety and my bank account. In addition, my tires come with a «Life of the Tire» service agreement, which guarantees the whole life of the tire, regardless of what happens.
I cannot thank Kevin enough and the mechanics at Evan Tire for their help, compassion and the tire lesson. Sometimes as a female (with limited knowledge about cars) I feel as if I could easily be taken advantage of; and thus have to double check everything with the men in my life. Not here, as I was quoted by other tire places in the area and Evan Tire was half the price. You can rest assured when you come here you will be well taken care of by honest, helpful and knowledgeable people.
Tires aside, their synthetic oil changes are only $ 60. This is nearly half the price of the BMW dealership. I will definitely be coming here for any and all mechanic needs. I highly recommend them!
And don’t forget to check in on Unilocal for $ 10 off your service.

Wanted to get a last minute Tire Balance before my drive to Vegas. Got me in and out in an hour without appointment and gave a great deal. Will be back when I need tires.
Thanks

These guys changed and fixed my flat tire for free. I was in a hurry and they totally took care of me. So pleased! Thank you guys again

Best service, best prices, won’t get my tires anywhere else. Mike’s the man!
Plus free flat repair. What?!

Good service and respectable staff. Guy at the front was fairly stiff but otherwise, you get what you pay for.
*tip: check out iron pig ale house next door for some great BBQ until your vehicle is ready!

One of my tires was leaking pretty badly so I brought it by Evans Tire around noon on a Wednesday. They were able to look at it almost immediately, found the leak, patched it, and had me on my way in about 25 minutes total — and they didn’t charge for the work! Friendly customer service as well. Thanks guys.

I had a nail in my tire that I needed to possibly get patched. Brought it in the the guys at Evans for a look. Turns out the nail was so small that it didn’t puncture but I appreciated them taking a look free of charge. I’ll definitely come back here in the near future for other services since the customer service was great.

Straightforward auto repair shop. Had suggestions but not aggressive in trying to upsell other services. If you need work done make sure you check them out.

Eh, I don’t feel like wandering around in the rain anymore and this isn’t a 15 minute oil change, so I suppose I can catch up on unfinished drafts and post a review. Here’s another boring one since a car didn’t squash anybody or a runaway truck didn’t crash through the plate glass storefront.
I’m not much of gearhead and occasionally hands-​on with a few basic DIY jobs. It saves on labor cost and gives me some peace of mind after a job well done, which for me means nothing blew up and no one got hurt. When it was time to replace some worn tires, I noticed a mailer ad from Evans Tire.
It was the buy 2 get 2 deal that got my attention. After checking their fine print and restrictions, we did the usual online price comparisons and decided to make an appointment. The friendly call rep took some information and she answered our questions.
The rest of the process was a breeze. The store associate checked the car in and he made some recommendations and price options, without being pushy or upselly about it. Yep, I made up a word. The work was roughly two hours, so either bring a diversion or stroll down Garnet to pick up snacks. There’s plenty around nearby to kill time. The lobby has a few rag mags to read if you’re into that, a TV playing whatever, and a computer with no external speakers, but your headphones can fix that. There’s free Wi-​Fi, but it’s restricted (boo: no Unilocal Talk).
I appreciate that the guys are straightforward and didn’t BS me with products or services I don’t need. Even though they don’t always have the lowest posted prices, it’s also good to know that they’ll try to match or beat competitor prices if I do a little homework and some negotiation with the manager for a discount.
