Fast, high quality work on replacing my tyre that exploded one day. I needed to replace all four, as my treads were nearly gone. They ordered the tyres recommended for my car, received them quickly, and replaced them all cleanly & efficiently. They were great. Highly appreciate when people will help when others are in a bind. Thank you Best American Tires workers! read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. If you care about your car, do NOT bring it to this place. 9 or 10 months ago, I got new tires mounted and balanced. My initial complaint was they lost 2 of my valve stem caps and replaced them with others that they lost at their shop. It was a minor complaint so I didn't make a fuss about it. Fast forward to today, I had to bring my car to a shop for front bumper work. They had to remove the front wheels in order to remove the bumper. This shop informed me that the 5 lug nuts on my front wheels were tightened to 200+ ft/lbs, more than DOUBLE what they are supposed to be torqued to. My wheels haven't been removed since I got my new tires 9 or 10 months prior. I feared all 4 tires were the same. When I returned home, I struggled for 2 hours trying to get my back wheels off. Each lug nut was insanely over torqued like the front. I figured I would just rotate my tires at this point so I ended up removing all 4 and inspected them. I found gashes in the barrel of all 4 of my rims, all equally spaced apart. This means Best American Tire damaged them when either mounting the tires or balancing them. You can see the damage in the pictures provided. I'm very lucky something didn't happen to me on the road these past 9 months. Needless to say, I will never bring my car here again. Hopefully this review will keep others from making the same mistake. read more

Arrived at the location early in the morning to inquire about purchasing used tires. The service was friendly and efficient, completing the installation while I waited, which took no more than 25 minutes. Well-priced. read more

Excellent fast service. Had a nail in my tire, they immediately pulled it out, plugged it, and fixed the pressure for all 4 times. I was out of there within 15 mins including waiting for the guy in front of me to get a new tire. read more

We pulled in after getting a flat tire on 80 and they took care of us right away, no waiting. We didn't even have to get out of the car! Very kind guys, explained what they were doing and what our options are and good advice for the future. They patched our tire and we were on our way quickly. At $25, it was a very good value and honestly I would have expected them to charge more. Thank so so so much! -Two stressed out ladies read more

This place is absolutely amazing. About three weeks ago we mysteriously had a flat and brought it in here right as they were closing. Two staff members helped us on the spot and repaired our tire, even though it required dismounting it and submersing it in water to find the leak. This morning we had a nail puncture in a different tire. I drove over and was there right as they opened and again they fixed it on the spot, this time in under five minutes Either time they could've told me I needed a reservation or charged me significantly more, but they are just good honest mechanics. Very thankful that this business exists. read more

I've been coming to this shop for a while now for things like new brakes and tire rotations. They've always been great. I recently went in because I had a screw in my tire that I was too scared to pull out myself. They took a look and thankfully, it didn't go all the way through, so no patch was needed. I offered to pay for the help, but the guy just said not to worry about it. These guys are the best--a total gem of a place. read more

I have been going there since they opened, I beleive and every single time, the matter my issue is, either of the 2 partners of the shop are alway ready to help. They are relaible, super efficient and trustworthy. I will continue to give them the business as I know they'll do their best to help me resdolve my, my wife or my kids tire issues, as they never felt to do so.. Thank you. Sincerely Philippe L. read more

My husband hit a pot hole and we ended up with a flat. Drove into this place and they immediately helped us putting 2 new tires on. Very friendly and super fast. Would definitely recommend read more

Sometimes, as a woman who knows nothing about cars, I feel like I am being taken advantage of when it comes to car shops ...BUT NOT HERE! Very honest, very kind and very good! read more

Love these guys. Had a bolt sticking out of my tire the other day. Popped it out, patched it up, and charged me $20. I asked two different people there if I would be better off just buying a new tire - both said no. They could have easily taken me for one tire at least! Really appreciate the honestly, plus the fast and excellent service. I'll definitely be back. read more

Pulled in after being notified by the TPMS system that I had a leaking tire. I have run flats, and they were able to get it fixed with no appointment, and no hassle! They are wonderful. Also, only $25.00 read more

Been here before for a simple tire repair. In and out in 20 min for $20. I've sent others here as well. Today I left work for lunch and found my tire completely flat. This place is a couple blocks away so drove in. There were so many cars there I was worried they wouldn't be able to help me. I had a nail my tire, but he showed me that both front tires were in bad shape due to misalignment. I said I'm getting ready to drive to So Cal. and he assured me it wasn't safe to do this, offered to replace the front tires, and do an alignment all for only $300 - and the best part was he did it in just over an hour!! I love this place!! read more

So friendly and quick! I came in with a nail in my tire and they fixed it up straight away for cheap!

I was coming home, just got off the freeway at the Buchanan exit when a motorist drove up next to me and told me I had a flat tire. It wasn't down to the rim yet, so I pulled into Best American Tires. A nice guy came over immediately, inspected the tire, didn't see any issues and inflated it for me on the spot. He refused payment. What a great experience. Yes, they will be installing my new tires from now on. read more

We had a not-so-slow leak in one tire and needed to still drive ~60 miles to get to a tire shop near our home. We pulled into this place seeking to pump some air to take us partway or all the way to our destination. The mechanic/owner dropped what he was doing, examined the tire, had us go back and forth on the tire a little, found the issue, removed the razor blade, pumped a temp patch, pumped air and sent us in our way! All within 15-20 min with absolute expertise and good manners. We had to insist to pay a little for his trouble. He saved the day for us and we are grateful. Sending him good karma and wishing him continued success! read more

I found this business by accident. I was just a couple blocks away when a motorist informed me that I had a flat tire. It was deflating fast. I pulled in near closing time and they fixed it within 15 minutes for a very reasonable price. It seems like a business I can trust and I plan to be a repeat customer. read more

I compared this local business with Costco and a national chain. I asked these guys if they could replace my tires with the make and model as provided on the car, since I knew that Tesla engineered them with some unusual features related to rolling resistance and noise. They called their supplier, went to get them and had them installed in about two hours. Costco offered something similar but I couldn't tell how comparable the features were, offered to have them delivered in several days, and would not offer me an appointment until I purchased the tires. So I did that, only to find out I'd have to wait 10 days for an appointment. (Purchase cancelled!) The national chain offered to get the tires in 3-5 days, and also appeared to require purchase before appointment ... which would have been a 30 minute drive each way. I paid 10%-20% more for my tires here, but is that due to the retailer or the tire manufacturer and model? We'll never know, because neither Costco nor the national chain seemed to offer the tire I wanted and got. And I got them when I wanted, and just down the street from my house. Plus, the casual vibe in this place left me free to inspect my car, under which I discovered damage to the pan, which I can now proceed to fix to prevent additional damage. I respect that some people want the absolute bottom price and they are convinced they'll get that from Costco and maybe others, but I'm quite happy with the service and value I got from this business. read more

Just great. I've gone to a nearby tire shop for years, one that many, many people use. All I needed to do was get a nail puncture/slow leak fixed. My place just upped the price to $35, which seemed high to me, so I called around to other places that are highly rated. Best American had the lowest price ($25), no reservation needed. Drove in, walked down the block for a doughnut, walked back and it was ready to go -- 15 minutes rather than an hour. Nice guy, too! read more

Excellent service at very reasonable price. Friendly and efficient. Have replaced tires here twice and will return when the need arises.

Shah is amazing! This place has the best service and he has my trust and confidence. I have come here a few times with different cars and he has told me which (less expensive) tire to buy, found and fixed a tire with a nail in it in 15 mins right before a road trip, searched a tire and not found anything wrong with it and provided a much appreciated second opinion to the dealer service. I almost want a tire problem bc he's so helpful and earnest. Right after my most recent trip, I told the O'Reilly auto parts clerk that Best American Tires was awesome and she said- oh we know and relayed another story of him coming to her rescue. Then her colleague walked in and she said, guess what this person said was the best tire place and he thought and guess Best American Tire. read more

I came in with two tires that seemed to have problems because they would not inflate at a gas station up the street. The technician at Best American checked them and successfully inflated them. The cost, no charge. I I was really impressed. Next time I need tires or brake work I know where I'm going. read more

Had another great experience. My truck tire had a slow leak. They tested it and found it was leaking through the valve stem. I was in and out in minutes and for all of $20. I'm going to keep coming back. read more

ZERO STAR IF THERE IS SUCH A CHOICE! I asked them to fill the windshield fluid today and I was charged 30 dollars for just pouring an already opened bottle!!! Then I checked with the shell store near by, the whole bottle cost ONLY $6.63 !!! WILL NOT COME BACK FOR SURE. read more

I highly recommend this place. I was in Albany visiting a friend. By luck, I noticed a huge nail/piece of nail in my tire as I was getting in my car to make a 45 mile drive home. In a panic I called and the guy said to bring it in. They didn't have the tire model I needed in stock but they could order it and have it ready by 10a the next day. One of the employees drove me to the closest BART station as I obviously couldn't drive the car home. I thought this was above & beyond great customer service. As promised the car was ready the next morning. I would definitely go back if I lived in the area. read more

So nice, honest, and helpful! I've gone to them a few times and they are so quick and don't make you feel bad when you have dumb questions (as I often do). read more

I got a flat tire hitting a curb near my house and because the whole tire went flat fast, I happened to park the car a block away from Best American Tire. I called my regular auto shop & they recommended them as a really excellent place. Boy were they right! The service was immediate and professional. Timor the store manager said we could be serviced right away. One of their guys, Khalil came with me to my stranded car, took off the bad tire, then we drove it back and picked up a new one and he changed it right there on the spot. Everything was done off site with Khalil coming and going to the car. What amazing quick service! read more

My first experience was ok, the mechanic installed tires that I bought online, price was competitive but no receipt was provided. Second visit was horrible, tried to upsala me suspensión parts they claimed were SO rusted it was impossible to re assemble, I went to check it out and turned out they have no clue how to remove cotter pin and ended up damaging the treads of my tie rod end and ball joint, then after I told them that I was a ASE Master tech before they said ok ok they gonna fix it, I went home and and hour later they call me up and told me to pick up my car cause they gave up, so my suspensión parts were put together without securing cotter pins and damaged tread. Tempted to report them to BAR, DCA, be careful when you bring your car there! read more

Friendly, professional, good work, just slow. Only two guys doing their best. Came in to get my tire checked out, very slow leak I had to get patched. A few people in front of me also getting work done so with only two guys the work is feathered out between jobs which was fine for me. They have an indoor closed off seating area while you wait for your vehicle with hot and cold water available, don't dehydrate. End up costing $20 for a patch which was very reasonable, typically usually $30-40. I'd come back if i needed a tire repair. read more

Best quality low price. I really recommend this place. These guys have great customer service and awesome work quality. Thanks, guys read more

Went in for an alignment. Fast service and very reasonable rates. Would highly recommend!

Great service and a good price for minor tire work. I needed a tire puncture repaired on one of my cars, an old tire (that I had stored) mounted on the same vehicle, and a single new tire for another car. They were fast (word done in an hour for both cars), courteous, and at a really good price. Two major tire service companies would not do this work or charged way to much for the same service. Costco has great prices for tires but I may be coming back to BAT for the special service and convenience. read more

My first tire leak in my 1.5 year old car! Anyone who has seen that flat tire light knows the inherent stress that accompanies it. After being burned by a tire place in the past, I'd taken my old car to the dealership to evaluate flats. Unfortunately, the new dealership isn't open on weekends. Best American Tires to the rescue! After reading reviews, I have them a call on Saturday morning and was told to bring my car in. This place is pretty small-- there's just enough room for two cars to fit side by side in the driveway. I pulled up, showed them which tire was leaking, got to watch them pull the tire off, then show me the dastardly nail. I was informed that since my tires are special (something about being filled with foam?) a patch would be a little more expensive than normal-$40. However, 15 minutes later, the tire was patched and back on, and I was only charged $25 because, "it actually wasn't too difficult afterall." All said and done, $25 patch, and maybe a 30 minute visit, which would have been shorter had I been first in line instead of second. Sorry dealership, after this service, I know where I'll be taking my car from now on! read more

I ran into a curb and sidewall of my tire ripped resulting in a flat tire. Aimal, one of the employees did a stand up job to get my tire replaced and back on the road within 30 minutes. I highly recommend this shop for all your tire and alignment needs. read more

Incredibly kind, honest, and quick. I've been here multiple times with flat tire woes, and they've never let me down in my time of need. I highly recommend this place if you need a quick fix. read more

Had to get all four tires replaced. I had already purchased tires before hand, and asked for a quote for mount and balance. They had the lowest quote among all the tire shops around the Berkeley / Albany area. They took great care of our 2018 Honda Fit, and it didn't take much time. I'd for sure recommend them if you happen to be around the Berkeley area. read more

Bought 4 new tires & got a wheel alignment, cost was $410. This was the best deal compared to my other quotes. Service was quik & I was able to see my car being worked on. read more
