Mounting aggressive tires on fresh wheels always makes you a little nervous -- especially with a setup like this -- but they handled everything with care and precision. No scratches, clean weights, and the balance is smooth at highway speeds. The alignment is spot on. Truck tracks straight, steering wheel is perfectly centered, and it drives tight without any wander. With Kings on the truck, alignment matters, and they clearly know what they're doing. Professional, detail-oriented, and no shortcuts. If you're running a dialed Tacoma setup and want it done right the first time, this is the place. Will definitely be back.

Purchased two Continental tires for the rear wheels of my BMW 535i…read more Good price and installation was good. My only concern was the wheel balancing for all 4 wheels and the 4 wheel alignment. The free wheel balancing was okay, but the ride was a but bit rough, especially at high speeds. The 4 wheel alignment was also okay because I saw the tech person pull it out of the stall and parked the car. He did not do a test drive. My Bimmer drove okay, but it didn't track. So I wasn't confident that the wheel alignment was properly done. I recently remedied the concerns by having the 4 wheels rebalanced and had a 4 wheel precision alignment done at another shop. Now my Bimmer tracks and rides really smooth... For tires purchase, this place is great.. But for tire services, from my experience, I would recommend to go somewhere else...

Aside from my deep gratitude for free service, these guys also work really hard. The customer-facing representatives were visibly busy with phone calls, mediating between customers and mechanics, tending to other customers who were there to pick up/ drop off/ get a consultation for their cars, all while exhibiting coolness and professionalism. There was a customer there who was being a little irksome, but the guy helping me handled it with such professional calmness, which even made me feel proud of him lol. Great job, guys!

He thanked me for my patience while I was waiting, which may seem like a small gesture, but it immediately made me feel acknowledged and valued as a customer. That level of attentiveness is something you don't see often these days. Jonathan was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and thorough throughout my visit. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions, and even recommended a nearby alignment shop that could help with my vehicle. His professionalism and willingness to help went above and beyond my expectations. Lastly, Joshua, one of the mechanics, took the time to walk me through the condition of my car and explain what I needed to know. He was friendly, informative, and provided a great customer experience all the way through the end of my visit. What stood out most was the consistency of the service. From the moment I walked in, to the information and guidance I received, to the final send-off, every interaction was positive. This is honestly one of the rare times I've experienced such a high level of customer service from every employee I interacted with during a single visit. Thank you, Cory, Jonathan, and Joshua, for making this such a great experience. Your professionalism, kindness, and attention to customers did not go unnoticed.

After service I noticed the slight but consistent oil leak I had going on had increased dramatically to the point that I was leaving huge oil puddles in a parking spot after a minimum of two hours. As of the date of this post, my car began to overheat, and when I popped the trunk I noticed that there was antifreeze on the engine. None of these problems were occurring with my vehicle before the oil change, it was noticeable by next day. I am hoping that it's an oversight that they will be able to acknowledge and willing to make right.

They accommodated my BMW i3 last minute for an oil change. In less than two hours, they called me back with a comprehensive, digital inspection report of my car--complete with pictures. They flagged some damage to a back tire and recommended swapping out just the rear tires. They were able to order and stock the specific tires that very same day! The entire operation is unbelievably seamless. No matter who I spoke to over the phone, they were knowledgeable, friendly, and completely on top all things relating to my car. They even offered a shuttle service for both drop-off and pick-up while my car was being worked on, making the whole process incredibly convenient. A massive thank you to Steven, Robert, David, and Carlos! I was so thoroughly impressed by the team's swift work, honesty, and professionalism that I brought my partner's car in the next day for a full tune-up; which they did in single day! If you want honest, fast, and top-tier service, this is the place to go!

When I got back, it was low on air once more, so I finally decided it was time to get it fixed. Luckily, American Tire was on my drive home from work, so I had no more excuses. From the moment I walked in, the customer service was excellent. The gentleman at the front desk was friendly, welcoming, and professional. While I was there, another customer came in with three young children who were understandably loud and energetic. Although their parent wasn't very attentive, the employee remained calm, patient, and professional the entire time. That level of customer service was impressive. Kudos to him! The technician who worked on my car was just as courteous. He explained everything as he went, including the issue we had finding my wheel lock key. He was able to remove the tire, locate the nail, and repair it without any problems. The best part? They repaired my tire for FREE. Because of the outstanding service, they've earned my future business. I'll definitely be coming back when it's time to purchase new tires and get my alignment done. Quick. Efficient. Professional. Highly recommend! One tip: if you want the fastest service, make an appointment. I was a walk-in and didn't wait long, but I happened to arrive during a slower period. Had I come at a busier time, the wait could have been much longer.

It's hard to find people who genuinely care about helping customers, and Victor definitely does. I really appreciate his help and would recommend anyone needing service to ask for him.

Since I bought the car used and hadn't changed the tires before, I decided it was a good time to replace all four. I started searching for an affordable shop with good tire pricing. After extensive online research and calling a few shops for quotes, I came across Pasadena Tire Pros. They gave me a quote over the phone for Pirelli tires, and based on my research, there was also a manufacturer rebate available. I asked whether they would honor the rebate, and they said they needed to check and would get back to me. A few days later, I received a call confirming that they would accept the rebate. That made the price very attractive, so I went in right away to get the tires replaced. The entire process took about 1.5 hours, and I spent the time walking around the area. Everything went smoothly, and Henry took great care of us. I would definitely recommend Tire Pros for your tire needs--be sure to ask for Henry. He's very friendly and easy to work with.
