National City. They do tires, brakes & alignments. All the workers were cool & nice to me. One of my go to spots for used tires. Especially if you're on a budget. Recently had my brakes done on my 2002 Toyota Sequoia. Saved me a lot of $$$. Lots of food places to walk around while waiting for the work to be done. Usually in & out in a decent time. Btw, El Cubilete has 2 locations. Give them a try & get a quote. read more

Es caro, dan precios diferentes vine con un carro viejo y el precio fue menor a cuando vine en un carro mas reciente 30dlls por parchar la llanta read more

Very kind and helpful. Great prices and will guide you towards what is best for you. Best prices

They change the price on you every time you come in. I've been here with my dad (Mexican man) different price. By myself (more expensive). With my boyfriend black man (even more expensive). Tire patch has ranged from $15-$30. Used tires have ranged for $60-$85 and this is being the SAME exact vehicle. They don't have set prices they charge you whatever they want. read more

The people here are very rude. Horrible service. Please avoid. There's another tire shop down the street.

The people here are so rude! There are better shops just the street and that are actually friendly ! read more

I've come to this location for years since it's right off the freeway. But not being able to speak Spanish puts you at a disadvantage because they charge you more. When I'm with my fiance and she speaks to them in Spanish she gets a different price. When i go alone my price is much higher. Crazy. Won't be coming back here read more

el cubilete tires here in national city is Rip off never go there don't even waste your time bad for business... Los neumáticos de el cubilete aquí en la ciudad nacional son Rip off, nunca vayas allí, ni siquiera pierdas el tiempo mal por los negocios... Robert Garza read more

Very disappointed in this place. I was quoted a price for a set of new tires and made an appointment to have them installed first thing in the morning the next day. When I arrived, none of the technicians knew of my appointment, my tires weren't in stock and to make matters worse they didn't want to honor the price I was quoted at. Total waste of my time. I understand mistakes happen, but to just shrug it off and not even attempt to make your customer happy is a new level of carelessness. read more

This place always saves me. I have an older car with locks on the rims. I don't have the key but they were able to still get the tire off and get me back on the road in no time. Very polite people as well. Great place for a quick fix. read more

Hoy tuve una mala experiencia en la llanta, la cubilete tenía una llanta pinchada y según ellos la repararon, 5 horas después en el trabajo me di cuenta que la misma llanta que repararon en la mañana nuevamente estaba sin aire, aparte de una del Forzaron las tuercas para ponerlo y se dañó la rosca volví a la copa y lo único que me dieron fueron puras excusas y no me dieron garantía del trabajo que incluía pagar 40 dólares por la reparación. del strikeout, al final me vendieron otra llanta en lugar sin descontar la garantia en el trabajo de la mañana, soy cliente de la copa para la proxima vez que compre otra llanta voy a buscar otro lugar ahi ellos no responden por la garantía del trabajo que realizan att, anónimo read more

Bought a brand new tire from these guys a few months ago, the guy at the counter said it was under warranty, including repairs. So I went ahead and bought it, it was more expensive than Walmart or Costco. I bought it due to it was the closest place to me. Had a nail puncture same tire purchased. Went back, same guy says in order for warranty to cover he has to send tire in and it would take a few weeks to get said tire back. And still offered to sell me another. Now this is the reason why mom and pop shops are dying to the Costco's and the Walmart's. Lack of commitment to their customer. read more

These guys are bunch of thieves. Horrible customer service. They will try to sell you the worst tires out for way overpriced if they you're fool. read more

Everytime I go they treat me very professionally. Always nice and friendly. Very good service. This is the only place I like to go. I'm always in a budget and I always get good deals from them. I occasionally take my car to get my tires check and they do it for free. Honestly I love this place. read more

First time here, got a used tire good price good service. Asked for a new tire as well, good price just decided to go with a used tire read more

El Cubilete Tires - Used tire - Tires Near Me - National City, California

Went in to have some new rims put on my car. The first person I spoke with told me the job would cost $25 per rim, so $100 dollars total. I agreed to it and told them to proceed. But when it was all done another mechanic told me at the register that the price was $200 because they had to do some extra labor changing the pressure sensors. Most modern cars have pressure sensors so they should have told me at the beginning that there would be an extra fee. They seem dishonest and find ways to rob people of their money. I not coming back to this sketchy place, and i highly recommend that you avoid this shop. read more

I have been a customer for years here, the service is always great, I own a fleet of vehicles that provide service, these guys get our trucks in and out quick, great service and believe me when I say they have better pricing than other tire shops, and we don't have to wait 2 to 3 hours just to fix a flat. Give them a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Had a quick and easy patch job done here close to closing time, and they did a great job and for pretty cheap.

Horrible cuter service complete waste of time so disappointed in eating my time here on my day off

Always great fast service and the prices are great always come here for my tires!!!!!!!

I have gotten my tires from Cubilete in National City for about three years in a row now. They have always gone out of their way to make my experience and others I have referred fast, easy and effective. Minimal wait time. Dont be fooled by the busy street, this place is fast and always friendly! read more

I recommend this place for sure. Great customer service since I arrived. They open at 8am but helped me out even though I got there 20 minutes early. While they worked on my tires, Ismael offered to help me put my windshield wipers since I was struggling to figure it out haha. Above and beyond service, 5 star review read more

Used bait and switch prices and then when I arrived they doubled the price they quoted on the phone

Its unfortunate to see so many bad reviews cuz i personally have nothing but good things to say about cubilete. Very knowledgeable staff. Fast. Efficient. If you are having trouble communicating due to language barrier just ask for Caesar. He is the best. He lets you know exactly what you need without giving you a big run around. Prices are very reasonable. A little disappointed they stopped doing oil changes but i go to him for pretty much everything else. Also, they always honor the warranty just as long you have kept the receipt. I've gotten my brakes done that didn't last very long but with the warranty they took care of it. Easy. read more

Just went in to check a tire problem, problem was solved. Worker that came to help showed me the used tire they were trying to sell me. So he had told me the price that very moment so I went on and told him go ahead and install it, installation was completed so I went on and tried to pay for it, next thing you know the boss or whoever is in charge adds 20 bucks on top and says the tire was 80 bucks not 60. Never will I stop there again. Save your time and money and go somewhere they treat the customer correctly. read more

My son hit a pot hole and needed his spare tire repaired. Stopped at this place. He went early in the morning and was in and out. He thought everything was good until he got ready to leave for an engagement, drove 6 blocks from the house and had to pull into a parking lot with a flat tire. The same tire he just had repaired. I called 3 times at different times, and left a message the first time to have Xavier call me back. NOTHING!!! I am not used to a business not answering their phone as well as not calling back a customer that asked for a call back. I think we can take our business elsewhere with better customer service. I am so glad he did not reach the freeway with that tire! read more

Call to get a quote over the phone for some Tires I needed, puts me on hold then decides to hang up unprofessional and bad of customer service. I understand your busy but come on that so rude read more

Got a flat came here right before closing after being denied at Evans tires down the road. Quick fix for only $15. Life savers

I just disagree with businesses that charge for the use of a credit or debit card and this place does. It is just the cost of doing business, period. read more

Good service and tire selection , but they charge you an extra $4.75 per transaction on top of the costs, that's a bad way to do business

Horrible, Horrible Service! Don't go there..... They put 4 used tires, after a few weeks my car started shaking out of control, so I went to my mechanic thinking that my axle is broken. Turns out that one of the tires was ready to blow up AND it was a front tire!!! They refused to change it and just put my spare tire and made me drive for 60 miles back and forth to their shop because they were waiting to get more used tires the next day. The next day I went there again, and they didn't have it, so they made me purchase a new tire and made me pay for it! I called many times to talk to the manager and dispute the charge, and guess what: they don't have one, because every week the name of the manager changes from Manuel to Cesar to Tonny, to "my boss is not here today" (every day). Avoid this place at all cost, you are much better off just paying the extra $100-$200 for new tires anywhere else! read more

They sell tires from 2000! 15 year old tires. Old and lumpy for only 120 for three! They provide road side assistance but they do not give terms and condition on used nor responsibly even if you bought them 17 days ago! NO STAR SHOULD BE GIVEN! read more

Great customer service! I've been going to them for tires and always had great service. Today I got brakes & an alignment. The employees were nice & helpful as always. read more

DO NOT GO TO THEM! I went through the same similar problem that "Desi I.' (the comment above; went through). They cut my safety beads of the tire they gave me and tried to cover it up with rubber glue. They kept trying to push away the "warrenty" (also, tried changing it on us but we kept the reciept) they made me drive 2 weeks with a spare; and honestly i did not feel safe driving with 3 18 inch rims and one dinky spare back and forth from home and work. They made my bf waste gas driving back and forth from Mira Mesa to National City because they kept PROMISING that brand new tires were coming in and they weren't. There customer services is HORRIBLE; The receptionist cussed me out over the phone when trying to ask for the managers name. Ceasar kept promising things he shouldn't of been promising; also, lied to his boss saying we didn't show him our damaged $500 rim (NOT RIMS, "RIM", 1 rim alone is 500) when we brought the rim back and forth waiting for the "promising" tire so now they won't help repair the damage that THEIR messed up tire did; and he'll probably be the one selling you BAD tires. And Xavier (the manager) just lies up the a$s (sorry, excuse my language). I'm just pretty P.O. about what happened!!!! read more

My first review ever on yelp... Went in to get brake shoes replaced on my car and it was the most unpleasant 2 1/2 hours of my life. I asked someone (every customer got a different name btw) how much it would cost and how long it would take and was told $99, then $85, then $75. After agreeing to the lowest price i was then told it would take an hour to finish my car to which i said "ok". Long story short... I asked every single "worker" there how long it would take after the 1 hr mark, then again 30min later, then once again at the 2hr mark. All this time they kept taking more and more customers and finishing their tune-ups. Each and every time they would walk by me they said "ya mero" -trans- "almost done" but yet no one was actually working on it. One of the guys even asked me personally if it was ok to take a few more people just for tire rotations and one tire change to which i said "yes" only because i understood that if i was nice they would eventually hurry finishing my car... They didnt! So then i put on my good old same ethnic background face/attitude and told them that if need-be i would help them finish my car. So i did, i handed them tools as they needed and even placed my old rims i had taken in-into my own trunk. Heck, they saw that and guess what?! 10 min after that my car was done. I shouldve started that after the 1 hr mark. Im a chill person but its people like them that can really upset just about anyone. Btw, there were 2 other people before me and i left before they did. read more
