Mostly all I've needed in car maintenance has been done at a good price and "on-the-spot". They have a "can-do" attitude and over the years that I've come here, they have taken care of me well. (I've been with them since they had the old shop on Alisal) I think they have one by Laurel too but have not used the location. read more

What awesome service! We got a flat on our road trip to Monterey. We found this tire place at the last minute and pulled in with no appointment. Lalo was quick, friendly, and efficient. He found a nail in the tire and patched it up within 30 minutes. The repair cost was very reasonable & fair. They're even open on Sundays. Never been to an auto shop that was so fast and impressive! read more

Cuevas Tires - Tires Near Me - Salinas, California

I usually go to America's tires because that's what my husband recommends for my tire repairs and service. I had a nail in my tire on a Sunday and went to Cuevas tires and oh man, I will never go anywhere else. They were efficient, friendly, professional, and I couldn't be more happy that the other places were closed on a Sunday I would take my car here any day.!!! read more

Great experience with Lalo! Did the 4 tires with the best price even hearing Costco or American tire and it was so easy with the alignment and extra guarantee on the tires that had the extra miles read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! We were on a road trip, passing through Salinas on our way to San Luis Obispo when we suddenly got a flat tire. Being far from home (Sonoma County) and stuck right before a holiday weekend, I was panicking. Luckily, we found Cuevas Tires, and from the moment I called, I knew we were in good hands. I spoke to what I believe was the owner or manager, and he was incredibly kind, enthusiastic, and reassuring. I explained our situation and asked if they could wait for us for an hour--even though it would be 30 minutes past their closing time. Without hesitation, he told me, "Don't worry, we got you. We'll be here when you arrive." That kind of service is rare! Once we got into the tow truck, I called again to confirm we were on our way, and he reassured me once more, telling us to drive safely and that they'd be waiting. True to his word, when we arrived, the entire team greeted us, calmly assessed the situation, and got straight to work. They had the exact tire we needed, and within 20 minutes, we were back on the road. The whole experience was smooth, professional, and--most importantly--stress-free, thanks to their kindness and efficiency. I can't thank them enough for going above and beyond to help complete strangers in a tough spot. If you ever need tire service in the Salinas area, this is the place to go! Great value! read more

Cuevas Tires - Wonderful staff ready to go and get us back on the road! Thank you! - Tires Near Me - Salinas, California

Stopped by to get help with installing a new car battery and the Cuevas Tires team went above and beyond to help. Turns out Autozone sold me the incorrect battery and the tech went out of his way to go back to Autozone to pick up the correct battery as my car was in the middle of being worked on. 10/10 recommend read more

Amazing service and price! Just drove up and greeted by a friendly welcome and they got right to work. Changed 3 tires out in 30 minutes flat. Highly recommend! read more

The best tire service I have experienced...and I am 75! Great prices, great service. There is a tiny waiting room, which is fine because you never wait very long. Right now they are repairing a nail in my tire. No charge, but I am definitely tipping this guy out. Don't go anywhere else! read more

Amazing service! Super quick, honest prices, great experience. We are not from this area but got a flat tire while roadtripping nearby. Cuevas Tires was one of the only places that were open on Sunday and had the tire we needed in stock. We originally thought we'd need to replace 3 tires but the owner recommended to only replace 2 and switch the placement of our existing tires instead. I appreciate his honesty and expertise vs trying to upsell us on our original plan. Total price we paid was extremely fair and the entire process was speedy. Solid group of people working here. Thank you so much! read more

Went in on a Sunday morning to have some tires installed. Was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Fair price and top notch service. Spanish is the first language of most employees, but it was not hard to communicate (my Spanish is very limited). Have a translator app ready if you must. read more

I was coming bank from a retreat in Big Sur and due to road closures to the south had to swing around Monterrey and through Salinas. I took a short cut on Spreckles and had an unfortunate meeting with a pothole that blew out on my front tires. Bam - I was stuck on a side road. I looked in the local area for high rated Yelp reviewed tire companies. I found Cuevas Tires! They were incredibly helpful and saved me hours of time and money. They were able to send a tow truck in 25 minutes (triple A was going to take up to 90 minutes). They towed my car, quoted me a fair price for a great new tire and had me on my way home quickly. The folks there are wonderful and warm hearted. In todays world it's common place for folks to take advantage of others but they were the exact opposite. They were gracious and so very helpful. read more

Every single time I get a stud in my tires Cuevas is my go to. And sadly I say eveeytime because it's now become a joke in our house that it's not a month unless I get a mail in my tires. These guys are so quick, friendly, efficient and professional! read more

UPDATE: Owner Salvador insisted and manager Hector agreed (of the other, Sanborn branch) that we make this right. Apologetic for my previous experience, they popped my car back up and re-aligned it to perfection. Hector was kind and dedicated to customer satisfaction. I felt compelled to correct my review because I think my multiple interactions put into perspective a problem that does not seem to reflect this company's business ethics. But, also, GO TO THE SANBORN LOCATION. ---------------------- Previous Review: I was grateful that Lalo caught that I did not need to replace a tire sensor. I left thinking that the drive to Salinas was well worth the service and care, as well as the staff was working honestly at reasonable prices. However, after I got home and reviewed the paperwork on my alignment (that I paid an extra $60 for) it turns out that one area was worse than before alignment -- and out of safe range. I waited all weekend, returning to Cuevas on Monday morning when I knew they would be less busy. There were no cars in the bays so I asked the technician if he could take another look and readjust the red warning areas. He told me the technicians who worked on my car would not be in today but the problem was clearly my axle. I explained that I have owned this car its whole life, never gotten into an accident, and this is the first time I have ever heard this. He was adamant about his theory, without even inspecting the vehicle, and argued with me for ten minutes. He refused to even re-check my car on the alignment machine -- although there were no other cars in for service. read more

We hit a pot hole and got two flat tires. We were lucky to find Cuevas and rolled in unannounced. They found two tires of the right size and type and replaced them; we were back on the road in less than 45 minutes! Cuevas Tires went above and beyond expectations. Overall experience was outstanding, high quality service, efficient, very professional. I give them my highest recommendations. Pat T. read more

They fixed my flat tire in record time and at an incredibly reasonable price. Very professional, polite, and really saved me from a bad situation. read more

Clean, QUICK, very polite. I've bought tires there and gotten tires fixed there. Great shop very professional.

I recently had low tire pressure on one wheel and less than a week before I took it to the dealership for a service and 12 point inspection and tire rotation. I doubt they checked my tires at all. The tire pressure dropped (which happened before the service) and my coworker told me Cuevas tires. I brought my car in during lunch, no appointment needed, and they were able to diagnose the problem (nail in the tire) and fix it in less than 20 minutes for only $20. I appreciate their quick service and even though I hope to not have tire problems again, if I do I will return to Cuevas tires. Highly recommend! read more

This place was good until it wasn't, i first took my car here to get a used tire because my tire blew out while i waited for my new set of michelins to come the main guy lalo was pretty rude because his card machine wasn't working on the first few attempts and the tow came late with my car while they were trying to close, but i was understanding, so a week later my new set came in and i transported everything over in my car, my cars upkeep was very good, after they were done with my car everything seemed fine, until it wasn't, they didn't do a wheel alignment which ruined one of my brake rotors, this cost me over $500 in damages, specifically new rotors and a wheel alignment, my loss, it sucks because i trusted them a lot read more

My family and I always get our tires here and we have not had a problem thus far. I have also stopped by when my tire pressure lights come on and they always help me without hesitation or cost. Lalo and Xochitl are always so nice and helpful! read more

Highly recommend this place!! While on our road trip, we hit a curb pulling into a gas station in Soledad and popped the outer wall of our tire. We pulled into two nearby tire shops and both were closed. We wanted to determine if it was safe to drive on, so I called Cuevas Tires, who had very high reviews, even though they were another 25 miles up the road. They told us that, if we want to feel safest there were a few towns before Salinas (where they were located), where we could also find some tire shops, so I recognized they weren't just in it for the business. We decided to just take it really slow and make our way to them. As soon as we got there, they ushered us right in to talk with Lalo and then Gustavo. They were both so great! They gave us a very fair price for 2 new front tires and we were honestly in and out in 35 minutes! Very impressed and again highly recommend! read more

Went here today to buy two tires and had my alignment done, I was so relieved that it was all done after. They also do oil change service and brake disc or drum and brake pad service.

Me dieron un buen precio en mis nuevas llantas para mi troca quede contento con el trato que me dieron

Very professional and well run by management. Their good prices with great services make them a reliable shop. Not only have I bought tires, I've had them do brake jobs, pvc valve replacement and tube up. All done right and efficiently. read more

Wow, well so once was a happy customer of Cuevas... until today when we had to unexpectedly remove a tire from my car and found that my nice lugnuts had been changed out for some cheap crap ass covers and my tool doesn't fit whatever crappy nut Cuevas put on (and yes, I'm positive it was Cuevas who STOLE my good lugnuts and replaced them with CRAP). Thanks for sending me down the road with these pieces of garbage that my wrench won't even fit. Never again and telling everyone in my circles that Cuevas will STEAL parts off your car. read more
