I arrived with metal stems on my 6-ton RV duallies, and in my quote it was specified the new tires I purchased would be installed re-using the metal stems. A few months later I tried to check the tire pressure and found plastic stems in the rear wheels. Moreover, two of them had stripped threads and could not be used to adjust the pressure. Also, they were unable to perform the alignment on my vehicle so I had to take it to the dealership. I wish I'd just taken it to the dealership in the first place. When I called to ask why the plastic stems had been used, they checked their records and said in fact they *had* re-used the metal stems I provided. read more

I had a flat tire brought it to Don's and had a great experience. Everyone there is always friendly and helpful 10/10 customer service. Definitely reccomend them. read more

I had an annoying slow leak in one tire, called them to schedule an appointment, and was told I could just swing by immediately. I did, and they said they'd be done in 45 minutes or so. That turned out to be a lie: they were done in less than half an hour, and charged me a whopping $35 for the service. The staff are funny and friendly, too. My only regret in all of this is not having visited them sooner. read more

It had been so long since we've had to get our own repairs done outside of the dealership, I forgot how much I enjoyed coming here. Even with a 20 year gap in between services and with a totally different car. The service remains the same, as does their customer service. Bonus points for being easy to get to from home. And extra bonus for their excellent early bird drop-off and after hours pick-up. read more

We have been here before for tire replacements (normal maintenance) and repairs (they helped us patch a tire) and both times everyone there was competent, skilled, and friendly. Today a friend pointed out a dangerous rip in one of our tires and we called Don's. They checked their inventory right away to see if they had a replacement (lucky for us, they had one in stock!) and even though it was at the warehouse, they had someone go pick it up immediately. We arrived later in the day and they were able to replace our tire right away. We are so grateful to them for going the extra mile, especially last minute! Definitely planning to go back for any future tire needs. read more

Don's Tire Service - The building - Tires Near Me - Berkeley, California

Had a really great experience with the team over here. They got me in quickly and were able to come up with a temporary solution until they could order my tires. Made me feel really welcome and they did a great job. Will be coming back. Highly recommend. read more

Good people, good service. Bring a smile and they will treat you well. Bring a bad attitude and right back at you it will come.

Don's is nothing short of top notch. Came here on a referral from a friend a few years ago and now even though I'm no longer local, I make the trip to Don's for any tire/wheel related work. Not only are they friendly, timely and generally helpful, they do great work. I've brought my car here for alignment, mounting/balancing, TPMS sensors, and more. I've always received stellar communication, honest guidance and timely service (most of the time while you wait). My experience with other tire shops (and I've gone to many) has included damaging the rims when replacing tires, damaging the vehicle when it's in for service, and a general lack of punctuality. How refreshing that Don's bucks the trend. Thank you! read more

My first time coming in and I must say, Don's Tire Service was excellent! When I called in to see if they had my tire in stock, Angelo said no but he said he could get it in by 3pm. When I got there at 2:50, the tire was already delivered. The tire was installed and ready in less than 45 minutes! Angela greeted me by saying, "Hi Hon, how can I help you?" I haven't been greeted like that since the Brady Bunch days! They have a great team there...so friendly and funny too! I totally recommend Don's Tire Service read more

They were up front with the service provided. The pricing was fair. I decided to wait around while they serviced my vehicle, so I appreciated the constant updates by the staff. read more

They were too busy to take me as a walk in, but very apologetic and directed me to another shop nearby.

I had a sidewall puncture in one tire and Don's was able to replace it quickly and professionally. Every interaction made me confident they were on top of the repair and would meet their same day commitment which they did. I called first thing in the morning and they were able to source and replace the tire the same day. I appreciate their excellent service and got me back on the road and whole again. Thanks! read more

After purchasing brand new tires from Don's tires, I had to replace my new tires I bought with barely 18,000 miles on them. Don's has great sales people at the front desk and idiots in the shop, I was constantly complaining that my tires were never balanced correctly since the day I bought them. After bringing my truck back for the fifth time and being demanding they fix the balancing issue, the shop stewart inspected my tires and explained to me the tires were defective by the manufacturer and the manufacturer was not likely to give me a prorated refund which I found to be odd since he claimed the tires were defective and no sign of road damage was on my tires. I took my truck to a national tire company to get these replaced and to find out why I had the tires had the balancing problem, the tire specialists at the national tire shop showed me the flat spots on my tires because the wheel weights were not set properly in the rims which created flat spots on my tires. The tires were damaged and unrepairable after 18,000 miles. These people at Don's tires were dishonest in why my tires could never be balanced properly, covering for their bad tire mechanics in the back and resulted in damage to my tires that could not be repaired correctly. Don's incompetence and dishonesty forced me to buy a new set of tires after 18,238 miles. I know Yelp has very high ratings for them but be warned, companies on Yelp can purchase monthly subscriptions and delete posts they do not like. read more

Excellent service. Fast, sweet, funny, and totally top notch. Thanks for helping out a girl in a bind!

I've returned to Don's a few times but never again, based on my last visit. My low tire warning light came on and the technician said the tire looked old, declared it was "probably" the sidewall and recommended a new tire. 1) The tire was not old and had more than half of its tread left. 2) I asked how they knew what the problem was without taking the tire off and checking for puncture etc. Their response was to change "probably" to "maybe" and argue they were the same thing. Then they again quoted me a new tire. 3) When they finally took the tire off and found no reason for the leak, my trust in them was gone. I had them put the tire back on and figure I'd take it somewhere else if the tire went low again. It's been several months and the tire is fine. read more

The process of buying reasonably priced tires ( though extremely well reviewed) and having them installed balanced etc was so painless that I actually forgot I had it done this week. -from initial call to out the door,,,,easy peasy. Thanks guys! read more

I had a fantastic experience at Don's Tire Service in the last couple of days. I am a senior who does not drive a whole lot. My low mileage 2007 Subaru Forester had tires which were 10 years old but which only had 21,000 miles on them. Because of the age, thought I should bring the vehicle in for an examination. Caleb, the sales representative, proved to be a very knowledgeable and experienced sales professional, recommending that I replace the tires and also recommending a set of great replacement all season tires. The cost of the recommended tires were substantially below the types that I had in my mind. Performance and quality factors, in light of my driving habits, had been considered and were discussed with me. The tires were ordered two days ago and put on the vehicle in a very professional and safe manner today. While waiting for the vehicle, I noted the super friendliness of the entire team at the store. I also noted how busy the store was, always a good sign. I appreciated the overall comraderie and teamwork exhibited by all involved. Caleb was very detail oriented and remembered everything I had requested. Also, the banter of the store members was wholesome and made one feel comfortable being on their premises. Thanks to Caleb and his entire team. read more

Reliable, friendly, fast and reasonably priced. I've been using them for at least 25 years.

Super helpful service! My front tire had a nail in it leading to fast leak and a replacement was going to punch a big hole in my wallet. After about 30 minutes - Don's had me on my way with a fixed tire that holds its air and equal inflation of all tires. Super service with a smile. I'll be back! read more

I recommend this place to everyone. The atmosphere in this place is awesome. The owners Angela is the nicest person in the world. Great sense of humor. Take care of everybody. Places a real family atmosphere if every big chain tire shop treated people like this to be a better world. read more

A trusted mechanic is hard to find. I used to pay big money at car dealerships then realized how much money I can save by putting my money into local small businesses in my area. Look, I just moved out this way from San Francisco, I heard great things about this place... other mechanics in the area even recommended them. I had a nail in my tire one shop couldn't do the service so they recommended Don's and sure enough they took care of me. I've had all my basic service here for half the cost. I'm pretty particular about tires I like on my vehicle and they broke me off a good deal. F*ck the dealership for service I go straight to Don's Tires for any of my issues. Also the team up front at the counter are awesome! read more

My apologies to my extended family, Tony and Denise for not writing this review sooner. Please forgive me. Now let's get to the knitty gritty. I love this place! I've been coming here I think it's been about 10 years now. I passed by in my car one day, saw the review and I've been hooked ever since. I don't take my cars anywhere else but Don's. The staff know their ish, they are hilarious, and they care about YOUR car. Yes I said it....YOUR CAR! I have NEVER took my car to a tire shop that cares about YOUR car. These people are heaven sent! Even if they are busy, they make sure to give you your car back faster than you can call to check up on your car. They have the best deals and they are fast. I never had any issues with my cars. I had alignment issues, rotator cuff issues the whole nine. They made it right EVERYTIME! Don't take your car anywhere else! Tell them I sent you. Love you Don's read more

I have been to Don's more times than I can count at this point thanks to terrible flat tire luck. Each time the team is friendly, the work is fast and excellent, and the price is reasonable. They are my go-to for all tire needs! read more

Don's was recommended to me by a friend who is loyal customer. I used their mobile service to replace a flat tire. I was able to get new tire and appointment the next day with them coming to me in Oakland. Every single person I spoke with was so helpful, nice and patient. Highly recommend. Perfect service. read more

I couldn't be happier! I was able to come before work and get my tire patched from having a nail in it. The price was right and the service was wonderful. The joy of not having to fill the tire with air is worth every penny. I will definitely be back for any tire needs. read more

Five stars! These guys are terrific. Great service at a fair price and they are incredibly nice. They were able to get me in on short notice and had the job done on time and under budget. I give them my highest recommendation. read more

Got flat tires after using their alignment service. The worker drove my car away from me to "fix it". After their work we got 2 flat tires and multiple nails in it. read more

Tire issues are never fun, but Don's takes the pain out of of the process. They do great work at affordable prices and often can complete your service before you even receive a call back from any other repair shops. If Don's does the work your car needs, go there first. read more

The staff is friendly and helpful. They get you an appointment quickly. Their prices are very fair. They recommend the tires that they think are the best value rather than the most expensive. I have been a customer since the late 1980's. Eric Weaver read more

Wow. The team here are so nice and helpful. Fast appointments, great hours, awesome selection of quality tires. Slammed by bad weather I am grateful I went there a couple weeks ago. I needed 4 tires. Badly. And with the Help of Laura, I made the appt for myself and my wife's car. and came back. Laura was awesome. When I returned for my tires Denise took super care of us. It took less than an hour and my wife scheduled a couple days later. This place has been a tradition for our house and they can expect to see us in the future. We are always treated well. Great tires and rotations every six months insure a safer drive. Highly recommended. Shop locally. Save our local businesses. If you like this review please take a moment to check the VOTE below.

Don's Tire Service - Tires Near Me - Berkeley, California

I'm not one for posting reviews, unless a product or service is exceptionally good, or in this case, exceptionally bad. I got a new Subaru Forester, and I went to Don's to upgrade and replace the crappy factory tires. That was 3 years ago, and well, I didn't rotate the tires in that time, which is my bad. But that also means I didn't have any wheels removed during that period. I had a complete failure on one of the tires. Ok, that happens, it was out of warranty anyway. In removing the wheel to put on the spare (with the tiny lug wrench included with the spare), I broke a lug nut stud. Hmm. Ok, never happened to me before, but that is life. Over the phone, Don's quoted $185 to fix the one broken stud, which seemed steep. At this point, I really needed new tires (don't forget to rotate your tires, people), and I decided to use a different tire shop. Don's replacement quote was too high. When the other tire shop removed the wheels, they broke 4 more studs on a total of 3 wheels! WHAT THIS TELLS YOU IS THAT DON'S OVER-TORQUED THE LUGS WHEN THEY DID THE TIRE WORK 3 YEARS AGO. I told my friend about this, and he said "oh yeah, same thing happened to me. That's why I am done with Don's" So word to the wise. BTW the new tire shop charged $150 to replace the (5) broken studs. So Don's, you owe me $150 and an apology for the hassle. read more

Great experience with Don's Tire Service. I had a tire blowout near home and decided to go with the mobile service so I wouldn't have to get towed to the shop. They had to order the tire so the appt was next day, when it was absolutely pouring. The mobile tech was on time (early even?) so when I got there he was already finished and I didn't have to wait in the rain. He looked up how to reset my tire warning light, and waited for me/followed to see whether it successfully reset after a little bit of driving. Super nice and professional, as was the person I talked to on the phone to set it up. I had a good experience here years ago just getting a simple repair, so I'm glad to see it's still a top shop. read more

I have lived in Berkeley for decades, and driven past this place thousands of times (right near the Gilman St. freeway exit), and I am so sorry that I never realized how great they are until yesterday!! On Tuesday, I was told by my mechanic that I needed new tires. On Wednesday, I went searching online for tire services. Don's Tires had a website app that allowed me to search for my tires. The sales folks responded right away with an appropriate recommendation for my vehicle. Specifically, I was looking for good rolling resistance because it improves mileage (for my Honda). I have an older car, so I knew the tires would need to be ordered. On Thursday, I called Don's, they ordered the tires and said they would have them the same day, and made an appointment for me at 3pm - the same day! And cost they quoted me - including installation, and an alignment, and a road hazard warranty - was over 30% lower than another place I called! I went to the 3pm appointment, they said it would be 1.5 hours, but they actually finished everything 15 minutes ahead of time! They have a "minimal" waiting room, but actually I went window shopping in the neighborhood - there are a surprising number of stores in that area - including a nice cafe just across the street. All in all, I am very impressed with Don's Tires! read more
