    I usually go to Alyeska Tire, but I decided to try this place on a recommendation from someone close to me. First I went to their downtown location which has a closed sign on it. Indefinitely? Who knows. It was vague. The winter tire season was extended due to COVID, so it was actually kind of difficult to get serviced here. I had to try 3 times before they weren't booked up. You MUST get here early in the morning. I arrived at 7:30am on the 3rd day, and had my car back by about 12:45pm. Service was fast and friendly and it was $4 cheaper than Alyeska. ($80 instead of $84) See y'all in a year!

    I've been meaning for a long time to update my review for KD... less than 6 months after…read morepurchasing my special order rims here the black paint inexplicably started flaking off. My husband and I both have jobs that are difficult to get off of during the week. Since KD isn't open during the week, this has been a perpetual challenge. Additionally, we are a single car family and my husband needs the car for his job, so its almost impossible for us to address things that we don't feel are very important. Were we pissed? Absolutely. But it was esthetic, so lesson learned. But KD had promised us free tire changes with the life if the tires due to our purchase of custom rims, so we figured we would cut our losses since 2 changes a year equals over $200 a year. We figured KD was nice and they had earned customers for life with service like that. We liked the idea of buying bougie rims and tires her for our baby. Fast forward to our first seasonal change. Everything went fine. We have the receipt to prove it. But subsequent efforts to schedule a change over proved too challenging due to our work schedules so we stopped going here. Periodically we would call to see if they ever added weekend hours just during the seasonal tire over time, but sadly no. You'd think maybe they would do a Tuesday-Saturday thing or something.... but nope. Anyway, that's not what was the clincher that pissed me off. Finally in 2025 my husband has some seniority at work and is able to get a day off during the week off and drops the car off for the seasonal change over. And when he picks it up they charge him. And when he reminds them about our rims and their policy they refuse to honor it. What makes it worse is he posts his concerns Yelp, he gets a PHONE CALL from KD asking him to retract his review and they don't acknowledge that they every had a policy regarding free mounting and balancing. I call bullshit. I have the damn receipt. You can't put tires on a car without mounting and balancing. That's idiotic. Are you used to dealing with people who have no knowledge of basic vehicle maintenance?!?! I really thought this was one of the few quality vehicles places in town and am very disappointed to learn that is just another bunch of crooks who lie and swindle. There's nothing discount about this place. You want discount, go to Costco or something. I am the kind of person that prefers to support smaller business and pay a little more. But not if I'm gonna get lied to and cheated. Fck that.

    Great service attitude! Did not purchase tires, had service. Would definitely go back.read more

So there was others forming another line because they sometimes add 20 more people on top of the 40 already chosen stickers. As we was waiting there in line for 1.5 hours this older lady was there acting as if she was drill Sargent and controlling and telling everyone how to stand and where to park ect. Finally she got into some lady's face literally up in her face and was yelling at her and this lady kept saying get out of my face get out of my face. She kept saying no I don't need to. So this lady walked away. As everyone was standing in line waiting they all talked amongst each other saying how they have never been to a company to where it was this hostile especially if we are all standing outside. This was my 1st time coming to this company and my last time after witnessing this lady getting yelled at and this lady trying to make herself look like she was in charge as the owner showed up. She even said you need to tell this lady you have me in charge. I didn't think it was appropriate for her to get into her face or yell at every paying customer paying for their own tires here. Next year I'm going somewhere else. Because if that was me I would've walked away but this lady handled it so good and professional. After we all got checked in I approached this lady and asked if she was OK. She said yes. This was totally uncalled for how it was handles. But she already purchased her tires days prior to this craziness. I felt so bad for her. I hope the owners got this resolved or spoke to the lady who was acting like she owned the company.

In these difficult financial times, I encourage you to support local businesses that care about your loyalty. Less than a year ago I purchased almost $3,000.00 worth of tires, rims and services.

    I drove my motorhome from California to Whitehorse, YT over the highway to the top of the world and…read moreinto Tok, AK on 100+ miles of rutted roads, gravel and dirt and developed a noise in my left front wheel. When I arrived in Anchorage I did not know of a good reputable mechanic to turn to. Having been referred to several who either were not qualified to do the job, did not have the proper equipment to lift the motorhome, we're too busy or outright we're not interested! It was suggested that I give Dean a call which was an experience in and of itself! After explaining my situation he gave me several suggestions to try on my own and if they didn't work he said to give him a call. The suggestions, all of which were valid did not solve the noise issue. Dean explained that he was completely booked but understood my dilemma being from out of town that he made an appointment for me the following day. Dean's mechanic went with me on a test drive and he immediately heard the sound and returned to the shop and pulled the front wheel off and did one of the most thorough wheel inspections I had ever witnessed! He spent considerable time inspecting all of the components of the suspension and wheel assembly and determined that the rotor was ever so slightly warped and out of round which was causing the brake pad to move ever so slightly on every revolution of the rotor when it passed by the brake pad causing the noise. He suggested that turning the rotor would solve the issue but that it was so slightly out of round he would wait until the next time I replaced the brakes to have the rotor turned. He did not feel that this situation would be anything to be concerned about and to continue on my trip south back to the lower 48 states. I did not keep track of the hours but it was at least one hour and approaching two hours and for this Dean only charged me $160 which was extremely fair considering today's labor rates in the $200 per hour range. I would recommend Dean's automotive service in Anchorage Alaska unequivocably to anyone who needs quality honest work at a fair price! While my vehicle was being worked on I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Dean as he is a veteran of the auto repair industry which I would guess of at least 40 years if not more and a very interesting individual to talk with! Go see Dean with all of your automotive needs!

    These guys took such great care of me--I'm honestly beyond impressed…read more I was in the market for winter rims and tires for my 2025 BMW X5, which is not exactly an easy vehicle to shop for. The stock rims are 22", and finding realistic winter tires for those just wasn't happening. I wanted a true seasonal tire and rim swap setup and some of the best winter tires available, especially with how unpredictable our winters have been the last few years. I reached out to Chris and his team, explained exactly what I was looking for, and they absolutely delivered. He sent me a few solid options, I made my selection, and within a week or two everything was in. He got me scheduled, I dropped my car off, and a couple hours later it was done and ready for pickup. Smooth, efficient, no stress. The rims look amazing--honestly just as good as the stock ones, which mattered a lot to me because the factory rims were one of the reasons I bought the car in the first place. Chris picked an option that looks clean, high-end, and perfectly suited to the vehicle. My car looks incredible. And with newer vehicles having a million sensors, monitors, and systems, I was relieved (and impressed) that everything worked exactly as it did before I dropped it off. No issues. No warnings. No surprises. They set me up with Toyo Observe Studless GSi-6 LS tires, and they are amazing. After a couple fresh snowstorms, I was comfortably cruising at highway speeds while passing people without a problem--huge confidence boost in real Alaska winter conditions. To top it off: BMW quoted me $5,000-$6,000 for a winter rim and tire setup. I paid less than $4,000 here. That's a fantastic deal for the quality, service, and peace of mind. 10 out of 10 experience. I would absolutely go back to Chris for any future custom or wheel/tire needs. Huge thank you to the whole team--you guys nailed it.

    I've read a ton of bad press on tire shops so on the advice of one of our new Anchorage friends,…read morethat we trust, we brought our new snow tires to L&M for installation. Other places had us calling them every day for an opening or waiting until the end of November. L&M got us in in three days. We arrived exactly at 3:00 on Tuesday as the snow is just starting. Whew! Maybe it should have been a warning sign when the tech walked back into the office (35 min into our appointment) and asked how he's supposed to work on a BMW when Honda keys are attached to the work order? That took you a half hour??? The super sweet Christine (who makes a killer cheesy potato soup) quickly found our work order and our 3:00pm job now has a 3:45 start. The car was finished in about an hour, as quoted. Plus, at twenty dollars per tire, it would appear a successful visit, thank you to my friend! Wait! Successful up until we were on the road again, approaching Tudor on "C" street. Wobble, wobble and off comes the left rear tire and lodges sideways under the axle. The freakin' tire came clean off! It's Tuesday, 5:00pm rush on our first seriously ice covered road this season. Now we're staring at the Bear Paw bear on the corner with only three functioning wheels on the ground. But thankfully, no one was hurt. Naturally, we called L&M who called a wrecker and carried us back to the shop. At L&M's expense. Having no loaner vehicles, they then sent us home in a cab. Again, on their dime. The following morning our car was first on the rack and all repairs were made. Once more, no charge. In fact, our initial $80 for tire service was refunded and L&M paid for our return cab ride. I spoke to Michael, the owner, and he confirms that they not only double checked/repaired the problem wheel, but they also rechecked the bonehead's (my term, not his) work on the other three. Tragic in some eyes, irresponsible in the eyes of others, inconvenient in mine. Mistakes are made in this world. I get that. This is one area they are not excusable. Burn my steak and you can always make another and we're all good. A serious accident happens due to neglect on my car, that could've have been a catastrophe. One maybe you don't recover from. To sum up. A huge unacceptable mistake was made. But this group bent over backwards to accommodate. They sent the cavalry to rescue us, secured our safe transport home and back then double checked all the work done to the vehicle. They waived all charges and paid all expenses. Equally as important to me is each of them offered a sincere apology even though only one person botched the job. I normally give local businesses a few chances before totally cutting ties. In my book this is a stand up organization that will get my future business and deserves four stars. 10/22
