On Nov 15th Eco Tire removed my all season tires from my Mazda pickup truck. They mounted, balanced…read moreand installed new valve stems on my winter tires. The techician informed me that it seemed a wheel bearing was going in my front passenger side wheel, and advised me to consult my mechanic. I proceeded upon his advice, to bring my truck into Harris Mazda on Nov 24th, to have the issue checked out, as my vehicle has a full extended warranty and a wheel bearing issue would have been covered. Harris Mazda discovered that the 4 tires all had been improperly balanced, and corrected the issue for me at the cost of $130. Today, on November 28th, 2011, I contacted the technician at Eco Tire, and told him of the service I had received, and that I had taken my vehicle to mazda and what they had discovered and fixed. The Tecnicican, who refused to give me his name, became hostile and told me that its impossible, and that Harris Mazda must be lying, and asked me what I expected him to do about it. I politely informed him that I felt a refund of the cost at least of the balancing would be acceptable, and he proceeded to become angry, told me this was impossible, and hung up on. I have now filed a BBB complaint, and await resolution. I strongly advise that anyone needing tire work done, avoid Eco Tire, not only because their service is sub-par, but because their employees are very hostile and rude, even when a customer is polite, friendly, and cheery on the phone.

Mar 9, 2026 I have…read morejust purchased and had installed a set of Nokian One 100H tires (215/70/R16) for my Honda CR-V (FWD only). I had asked for a recommendation for tires that would provide a softer more comfortable ride than my existing Nokian all weather set and be very good in the rain. I found the existing ride to be very harsh, especially going over depressed manhole covers and typical Nanaimo road patches. I had some slim hope better tires might produce enough improvement to at least notice so as to justify my somewhat earlier than needed purchase. I would like to say how pleased I am at the resulting improvement. The new Nokians were even smoother on smooth pavement and over my "favourite" set of 3 sequential road patches on Jinglepot the car produced just a muted bump instead of the harsh bone shaking bang from the old all weathers. I haven't had the opportunity to test the new ones in the rain yet (soon will I think) but I can say even on dry pavement I've noticed improved traction. Thanks to all the staff who helped with the recommendation, scheduled the appointment, and did all the install work. Once again Kal Tire 682 (6590 Island Hwy N) has come through for me.

I was there today, as well as on another occasion some years ago. Both times they fixed a simple light vehicle flat for free (along with providing helpful advice). They saved me money over my Nissan dealer, who wanted to sell me two new tires! No such sales tactics from Kal Tire. They don't know me, nor do they owe me any favours. Both times, their service was excellent. I can recommend them with bonus points for attitude.

My wife had a leak in her tire so I took it to Costco. They said it couldn't be repaired and that I…read morewould have to order a new one. $130 for the replacement so I said fine so they ordered it. In the meantime they put spare on and put damaged tire in trunk. the next day my wife took her car to this Kal Tire and they looked at the tire and said no problem, apparently it was just a small hole. They repaired it FOR FREE. So my wife cancelled the tire that Costco ordered in. And prior to this, my wife took her previous car in (which we bought used and was a nightmare, everything was leaking including the tires), and again this Kal Tire repaired her tires and I can't recall how much they charged but it was very, very cheap. These guys have helped my wife (soon to be ex-wife - ouch) each time and have gone above and beyond. I never thought much of this place when driving past it. I think they are beside a taxi lot, so lots of cars everywhere. Not the most inviting appearance. But next time I need tires I'm definitely going to them first as I felt over charged at Fountain tire.
