Allen Tire Company

I use to like this place and got excellent service, but I took my SUV in for a front end alignment because I replaced the inner tie rods, now the car is worse than when I took it in, the steering wheel is not centered when driving straight and it pulls to the left when I let go of the steering wheel. Not to happy.

I get more flat tires than I can count, but I never mind coming here because they always treat me well. Great customer service. Competitive prices. Reasonable wait. Never been given any reason to think these guys are dishonest or untrustworthy.

I had the terrible luck of having my 3^rd punctured tire in three months. These guys were awesome. I was out of there in 20 minutes!

In and out in 15 minutes for a tire patch at 2pm on a Saturday. Great service and friendly people!

Great group of guys! Rene was on point and very accommodating with helping me get my Ford F-​350 Turbodiesel aligned. @RenoMakani (Professional surfer from Hawaii) #BeTheACTION

I went there to get a tire plugged and to have my tires rotated. When I went to pay, they tired to charge me $ 89. I said wtf? The man told me that they balanced my tires. Well I did not ask them to balance them. So he said $ 45. That us still a lot, but paid none the less. The next day the tire they plugged went flat. Never will I go there again!!!

Purchased a set of tires a while back and noticed that I must be leaking some air in my front left tire. I took it in and Rene the manager took care of me. Not only did he rotate my tires for free and notified me of a small nail stuck in my back right tire he fixed it all up for me and filled the tires up with Nitogen (which a lot of people tell me doesn’t work but I swear it lasts longer) which I was very appreciative of.
Rene is the type of person that you know will keep his word and is not only kind but genuine I will be recommending this tire place to friends and family!

This is a great shop for tires, alignments, etc. I’ve been coming to Allen Tire for quite a few years and have never had a bad experience. The service managers as well as the technicians always have a positive attitude and provide good customer service. I’m pretty savvy when it comes to auto repair and maintenance and have never felt they were trying to mislead or overcharge me, which is very common at some shops and especially at car dealerships. 5 stars!

I came here to have some new wheels I bought elsewhere installed on my car. The price to swap the wheels and change over the TPMS sensors was fair (about the same as everyone else). When they started to install the new wheels they realized I needed smaller diameter lug nuts for the new wheels. They offered to sell me some lug nuts they had laying around the back of their store for 4 TIMES THE GOING RATE! I can absolutely understand a small mark up ($ 10 – 20) but, a $ 75.00 mark up on lug nuts is crazy! Then he wanted me to pay extra for the lug key ($ 15 extra). I drove 2 blocks away and purchased the lug nuts I needed (lug key included lol) for $ 30.00.
If you want to get treated like a moron and ripped off, visit the guys at Allen Tire.

I stopped here to get an oil change a couple months ago. Since then, I was adding a quart of oil in my car every FOUR DAYS! Luckily I drive a gob of miles so my next oil change was quick in the making and I found out that Allen Tire Co. squeezed my oil filter on so tight that it rippled the rubber gasket causing gallons of oil to leak out all over our local streets.
Thanks guys, I’m sure you’ll think about me the next time you swim at the local beach with all of your oil floating around your head.

They are the best, here with my mom and Gene is really helpful and nice, gave us a great deal 20 dollars off, I’m impressed and we always come here, overall the service is excellent!!!

Needed to replace 4 tires. I had two different sizes on my car and they had two of one size and one of the other. They went and hunted down the remaining tire.
Overall good experience. If I need to get more tires, I will start here.
Only negative (if you can call it that) is they did not offer any lower priced options to me. I was looking for a specific quality that was more costly so I did not push but it would have been nice to hear other options.

This place was convenient and very simple. However, they just did not complete any final checks if they did the tech would have noticed that the new tires were rubbing on my fenders when the wheel was completely turned. The front desk rep was great. I tried talking to a few of the guys doing the work as I wanted them to double check my breaks and all available areas to insure everything else good to go. The tech was borderline rude and for that reason alone I would not want to return to this establishment.

Took my car in for tires and brakes they lie to me said I needed breaks when I really did not need them overcharged me for the tires and did not backup with their service before you go to this company I would check other locations

They’re the best… Always take me in on spur of moment… Good listeners. Frequently do not charge for removing nail
Pleasant to talk to
Fair
Good prices

This is my go to place for tires… a few years ago I came in to patch a puncture… they patched it up free of charge… I was blown away, but that was a very savy business move, because that was an inexpensive way to earn my loyalty… and it worked! Next time I needed tires, I searched for the best price online, and even though they couldnt match it (rightfully so, runnig a B&M business has more fixed costs obviously) they were close enough to where the service was the tipping point to give them my business… Service station guys also noticed that I plasti-​dipped my wheels, and were extra careful with the mount and balance… I mean talk about attention to detail!
I take all my cars here now.

Had an accident on the 405 south going home from a vacation
both tires and wheels were destroyed, i purchased my tires from COSTA MESA allen tire with the platinum protection plan.
Rene, the «manager» told me first the tires i had arent made anymore, that i had to spend over 350 dollars to get some TOYO tires replaced.
told him no find me something that is the same price as what i paid
he replied, theres nothing.
then i told him im gonna call another store, he all of a SUDDEN found my tires. LIE NUMBER 1
then told me i have to pay 60 dollars in labor… the protection plan states all the customer is liable for is the taxes of the new tires. LIE NUMBER 2
then told me i had to repurchase the insurance even tho my rims were destroyed, so cant even put them back on. LIE NUMBER 3
all this went from a 350 bill and step by step it dropped to 40 dollars, which was just the taxes like i knew from the beginning.
TERRIBLE customer service, always question your invoice before signing ANYTHING!!!
I would appreciate a call back from someone in corporate 949 400 2204

Feeling anxious about automobile shops providing horrible service while charging an arm and leg is normal right? Well, my experience with Allen Tire was far from that.
I had managed to drive a nail into my right rear tire within the last 24 hours and planned on waiting until Friday to get it fixed or even purchase a new tire. I had accepted that I was going to spend a couple hundred dollars on two new tires. I looked up the tire shop I was originally going to and I read about just getting a patch, instead of replacing the tire. It was just a matter of getting my car there and finding out how much it was going to be.
I’m so thankful that I confided to one of my co-​workers that I had a nail lodged into one of my tires and it caused it to deflated which resulted multiple visits to the gas station for air. He in-​turn told my other co-​workers and they advised me about Allen Tire Company, which is no more than half a block away from my work. I called and asked about the cost for patching up a tire and they said $ 25, without hesitation.
I drove down with my now flat tire and spoke with the only guy that was at the counter at the time. He was friendly and asked what service I was in for. I replied and he had me fill out information, asked for my car keys and proceeded with getting my car started for service as soon as possible! I didn’t manage to get the man’s name but he was very helpful! He explained to me how the patch works and how long it will last. He even gave me the little bugger that was in my tire. I was there for maybe ten minutes without any problems. The service was on the house, which was extremely kind!
My car drove smooth and wasn’t lopsided! The anxiety and stress of getting new tires or getting it fixed all went away! AND, i didn’t even have to take personal time off to do it!
They definitely have my business!

So happy with the service here and the job that they did.
I called in advance and spoke with Rene and he told me to come on in because they weren’t too busy. I got here and within minutes my car was up on the racks. He informed me that I needed 3 new tires and showed me that they were in fact pretty bad. My family owns a towing company so I called my guy in OC and he assured me that Rene was giving me the best price.
I was in and out in 30 minutes. Everyone was great:-)

A friend recommended that we get our tires at Allen. They do free tire-​rotation if you bought your tires from them.
I like them. They seem to do good work.
The only thing I dislike about this place is the manager or somebody who checks our cars in for servicing. He keeps trying to tell us to get our struts replaced when ours are okay. The last two times he seemed to get almost upset that we don’t replace them. And since we take our car to a good mechanic, I feel like our mechanic would mention it first.
I read another reviewer that Saul is no longer there. Well, that explains it. I liked Saul.
