Salinas Tires

Waited 1 hour just to get a tire patched. Owner was a total jerk. Worst service ever.

Had low tire pressure warning and I suspected bad sensor. I checked my tire pressure several times and pressure was fine. Called them first and asked if they could tell me which sensor was bad, they said yes.
Arrived guy get in my car and connects computer then mechanic spends next 20 mins BSing with other people, while sitting in my car, but never reads the computer. Finally gets out, checks tire pressure and tells me I am fixed. Tells me drive it 1 mile and light will turn out. I told him I did that already and just want to know which tire sensor to change. He was sure that the tire sensors where fine so I left and drove 10 miles. Light never went out.
Returned and asked again, can you tell me which sensor I need to change. Again checks tire pressure and says now for sure its fixed.
2 hours wasted to have him check tire pressure, due to his inattention to the me the customer he was working with. And cost me 30 bucks and never got an answer.

DO NOT COME HERE FOR AN ALIGNMENT!!!
These guys don’t even have a computer. They actually take your car for a spin, and supposedly diagnose your steering alignment by test driving it. After they do their Mickey Mouse work and rob you. They threaten you on the way out as you try and get your refund for the fraud transaction they accomplished. Good job scum bags!!!

Horrible service and rip offs I got a flat tire on the side of the freeway so I had AAA drop me off to the nearest tire shop (salinas) I have 1 year old tires and before even working on the tire they were already selling me on a new one. I ask it to be repaired/​patched the tech said it was to damaged but it only had a ¹⁄₈ in hole so he new I needed to get out to go to work, and wouldn’t repair it so I had to buy a used one that was being sold for 40 $ ripp off! About the horrible service they waited 30 minutes before helping when they had no customers at 8 o’clock in the morning

This isn’t the cream of the crop when it comes to looks but it serves it’s purposes. Considering this being a tire shop the place offers a vast variety of different tires. This is my second time getting tires year within a 2 year period and I must say I’m quite pleased with them. The first location I’ve been to is the one in Whittier right off the freeway and they took care of me. I went to this location because they had the tires I had in stock.
When I got my first set of tires they were continentals and they lasted me about 2 years which is great and for the amount of commuting I did it was kind of unheard of! To my surprise they didn’t have any continentals in stock so I went with Falcons my second time around.
The staff is friendly and got straight to business my only gripe was in the «waiting area» which was what looked like a pullout couch bed they had a mans work pants on their which kind of repulsed me. I asked the guy if he can get to working on my vehicle as I had other business to attend to and he did. The wait time was about 30 – 45 minutes. Overall I really have no complaints about the tires so fingers crossed these last just as long!

If I could give this places 0 stars I would they messed up my whole car & have the nerve to scream at me & call me a crazy guy & they charge above retail never again!

Horrible techs. Came in to get a wheel after calling. Waited 30 min in the front part of the store even though the employee made eye contact. No verbal welcome or acknowledgement. After the install when i got on the freeway i heard clicking. They stripped my stud on my rotor!!! i mean what kind of idiot uses power tools on $ 350 dollar lug nuts. r40’s. Serious? anyways. Messed up my locks. Messed up my Stud. Wasted my time. Why pay $ 100 for a service that could’ve been done faster and better than these so called experienced workers. They even broke 60% of my valve stem. Which are not easy to replace because i have tpms. Tire pressure monitoring sensors. Basically if u have a stock car and do not care about waiting and what not come here. If ur car is lowered. U have rims. Or anything worth of value. I repeat. Do not come here. They will fuck ur shit up. not even kidding. Someone at mcdonalds could’ve done a better job

This place sucks. I took it in for a simple fix on my axle and it turned it into a disaster. First off the day I received my truck I took it to work thinking they actually fixed my truck. Little did I know they have no idea what they are doing, that day I drove it 14 miles to work and when I get off the freeway I see smoke coming out of the rear wheel that was fixed and ten seconds later it I pull over and my wheel is on fire. The owner tells me it’s because of the brake fluid they used which is complete bull. Then I have to pay for my own tow which should of been payed for by them. So my truck gets towed there and it’s ready that same day which was a surprise. I go and pick it up after work and realize that my truck doesn’t drive too good so I decide to drive it like that for a day and it starts making noise. Long story short the brakes they installed ending up getting destroyed due to improper installation. Worst mechanic shop ever, super sketchy

This place is shifty.

Got my tires from this place drove in got me out in 1 ½ hr could have been faster guess it was lunch time.

Short and to the point: It’s local, prices are decent and when not crowded w/​other vehicles waiting in line, it’s a good place to go to for a quick tire fix and be on your way. Carry cash on you to get the lowest price (I think they take ATM, not even sure, but if so probably on bigger bill).
Located where Whittier meets Norwalk Blvd… yeah it’s pretty safe during the day, lol)
A lot better than fishing for one towards LA, unless you have to go out there, this place is good because it’s in the neighborhood and right before you jump on the 605. Small business, goods well received. Recommended.

Been coming here for over 20yrs, they have done work on my corvette, Jeep and Camaro! Not the mention all my past cars lol
My go to shop for all my custom installs, rims, grills, braking etc etc best prices and services in so Cal!

Worst place ever. They managed to mess my car up completely to just install a alarm and a sound system. Due to faulty installation the alarm ends up shutting off power to my car every once in a while effectively making my car a hunk of metal till it stops acting up 20min plus later making me late to where I am going.
On top of that my sound system I had installed there was so poorly installed it fell off where it was screwed on in my trunk and was rolling around in the back for a while. Considering how much damage they done to my car and equipment I would recommend this place only to masochists.

Great prices, great service and to top it off they are quick. No waiting around for someone to help you, no waiting long for your tires to be installed. Lots to choose from… 2 thumbs up.

Need tires checked…

I’ve been coming to this tire place for years and they have never been anything less than amazing. They offer competitive prices on new tires but also have amazing deals on used tires.
Aside from having my tires changed and rotated by them, they also have assisted me in repairing flats. They used to charge $ 5 for plugs but I think now they charge $ 8 for plugs and $ 10 for patches. I’m not sure anymore so you may have to call them.
All in all, I have always relied on this tire location for all my tire needs. Salinas Tires is very trustworthy, fast and reliable. I highly recommend them.
