I've been twice now, both times on a Sunday, and very grateful that these folks were open for business! Both times the staff was very fast and compassionate :D read more

These are good dudes. Honest, informative and timely. They can explain car jargon in a friendly way (even showed me car when it was on the garage floor to point out issues and help me understand the problem). Recently my car broke down and i had to get it towed there. After a grim but fair diagnosis, they let me keep it on the lot while i tried to figure out what to do (ultimately donating it). Their flexibility and excellent customer service made the whole process way less stressful. They're also open 7 days a week which is rare in seattle. read more

Express is right!! I called the night before at 5:57pm and SOMEONE ANSWERED (they close at 6:00pm) I explained that my back driver side passenger tire had separated from the rim and causing the tire to split. The person that answered looked my tire up said they had it in stock.. Fast forward to the next day.. (Saturday) I walk down to Express Auto at 09:00 explain what happened to my tire the person at the counter said they will not have the tire until Monday.. keep in mind I've had this flat going on 5 WEEKS (snow, work and unable to find this tire) then he says hold up.. picks up the phone calls some one..and then tell me call the tow truck your tire will be here in one hour. I pay for the tire calling the tow truck while walking home walk home it's 9:07am. The tow truck arrives.. 09:40.. Express Auto calls me back to say they are finished at 10:21am. I got WHAT I NEEDED a brand NEW tire at a fair price with and NO STRESS read more

Express Tires and Auto Services - Express Auto had My hard to find, never in stock, special order only tire... - Auto Repair Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Been here three times now and each time have been really impressed with their service. The first time I had a flat - they fixed it super fast and it cost less than $20. The second time one of my tires was giving me trouble and I wanted to check it in case there was a leak. I took it in, they tested it and it was fine. Despite doing that labour, they didn't charge me!! Don't see that often any more. The third time I needed my headlights changed. That sounds embarrassing on the surface but it's tricky on my car - last time I did it myself and, even with another person to help, it took us 4-5 hours. This time I tried taking it to a nearby shop and they outright refused me. These guys had no problem and changed them out while I waited. It was a little pricey but they warned me about that up front. Worth every penny. I highly recommend them. read more

My mom found this place and I'm so glad it's a reliable shop. She's been taken advantage of at firestone multiple times that her friend recommended her this place. My mom also ended up recommending this place to me (for an oil change) and it went smooth and fast! I was out in 40 minutes :-) The guys also aren't pushy about services that you don't need right away which I like. Definitely will be coming back, thank you! read more

Brought my fiance's car here on a whim since I saw all the positive reviews. I like how they are open all days of the week. We called a few days prior and asked about the service for the call and they gave us a good explanation over the phone. We arrived first thing in the morning and were the first one to be serviced, I advise you to do so. The quote from the dealer for our service was over $1k and we thought that was ridiculous. Anyways Express was able to do it for a quarter of that. I liked how they took a photo of the issue and texted us if we would like to go ahead to fix the issue. If you want honest mechanics for a great price, I recommend them. read more

These guys are lifesavers. I blew a tire last night very late and had AAA tow me to the closest tire shop (which shall remain nameless). Too bad that place is either out of business or closed on Fridays; I left my car at the curb just outside for the night, assuming they'd be open in the morning, but I couldn't find a working phone number and when I went down there it was still locked up. Another call to AAA got me a recommendation to a different place (which will also remain nameless). At least they were open and had a working phone, but without even seeing my car they told me I would "probably" need to replace both front tires - not just the one with the hole in it - which would run approx $150 apiece and with labor and tax I was looking at about $400. And they needed to know immediately whether or not they needed to order those two tires...so they were basically asking me to commit to buying the second tire without even being sure I needed it. Thanks, but no thanks. During my 2 hour wait for a tow truck, I had plenty of time to conduct a Google search for used tires in Seattle, which brought me to Express Tires and Auto Service. I gave them a call and they looked up the type of tires needed for my car, and checked to see if they had a used one in stock. They did, and told me they'd be able to fix it right away. Even though it was an hour later that my tow truck finally arrived and towed me to Express Tires, they still took me right away and had me in and out in about 30 minutes - for a grand total of $55. After inspecting my other tires they determined that I only needed to replace the blown one for now. They're quick and honest, so I would recommend them to anyone in a pinch! read more

Refilled air in my tires free of charge and informed to "no worry high pressure, only worry low pressure." Low key establishment but highly efficient and knowledgeable. Exactly what I needed in an auto shop. read more

Called asking to make an appointment, said they only take walk ins. I was told they'd be able to get my car looked at within a couple hours if I came in early in the morning. When I showed up, I was told it'd be at least a day before they could look at my car and I'd have to leave it overnight. I was traveling so this did NOT work for me. I wish they'd have been honest up front so I could have made an appointment elsewhere. read more

We have a slow leak flat. Unfortunately, this is the only business answering their phone for tire repair following a snow storm in Seattle. The man answering said they don't do any tire repair unless it's a nail or visible puncture, otherwise, it's only tire replacements. read more

Went to Honda of Seattle and they told me I'd need over 3000 in repair for a blown head gasket and charged 200 for a diagnostic. I went to see Danny on a recommendation from a friend and I'm glad I did. He looked at the car and quoted me a fair price for the radiator and the diagnostic was included in the price all for $500. With it also was a 1 year/12,000 mile warranty. I was extremely pleased. The only downfall was it was cash only but I will never take my car anywhere else. read more

I was worried about something before starting a long road trip and brought the car in to this shop -- they confirmed that everything looked fine and waived the diagnostic fee, very helpful and friendly! read more

TL;DR Go to these folks for tire repairs and oil changes, but maybe not for anything else. I got quoted for an expensive repair, but got a second opinion and found out they were wrong and the actual repair was much cheaper. Details: I've had mixed experiences here. Firstly, when I've taken my car in for a routine oil change they've never tried to upsell me products or services I don't need. They also work pretty quickly and are polite. However, I was recently having some issues with my car when starting up. It was taking a while to catch and it seemed like a battery issue to me (having accidentally left my lights on too many times I'm pretty familiar with how a weak battery acts). I wasn't sure though, so I took it to Express Tires because I had good service in the past. They were able to look at it quickly, which I appreciated. BUT, they told me it was the alternator and that it would cost $500 to repair. I pushed back a bit because I've had an alternator go out on me before and this just didn't seem like an alternator problem. The person chatting with me wasn't the mechanic and so he couldn't really answer my questions beyond saying 'we measured everything and your battery is fine but your alternator is not.' He pointed the mechanic out behind me and the mechanic didn't really seem like he wanted to chat (but to be fair he may not have heard our convo and realized what was happening). Anyway, I was pretty skeptical so I decided to get a second opinion. Turns out it was just the battery. I got it replaced and now it's running fine. So big expense avoided there. I don't know if they were incompetent or were just lying, but either way, I don't recommend going to this place for anything beyond oil and tires. I will say that they were very polite through out this, but they weren't really engaging my questions, and I find that a reluctance to explain the car issue in depth can be a red flag mechanics. If your mechanic won't engage with you and have a conversation with you about what is wrong with your car before making an expensive repair, go somewhere else. read more

Express tires is my neighborhood tire place. Great prices. Friendly service and fast. I will always use Express Tires. read more

Quick, super friendly and affordable service. My battery died overnight on Saturday, and after getting jumped by AAA, I was headed to Firestone on the recommendation of the AAA driver. I drove past Express Tore & Auto and decided to see if they could squeeze me in. They were able to and actually got my service completed ahead of schedule by the end of the day! And all of this on a Sunday, when most other shops are closed. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Got a flat tire on the way to work. Firestone said they have no availability until Saturday but express tires was able to see me and have my tire fixed within an hour! Great price and friendly service. read more

A big ass sliver of wood got stuck in my brand new tire. They were able to repair the tire for $22 and save me $300+ on a brand new tire. Will be back for an oil change and further needs. read more

They damaged the oil filter in my car, which was spilled all over the place. i had to go to Toyota dealer to check my RAV4 hibrid i lost all $400 when i saw my oil here. really bad read more

1 star. Came in 10//11/20 with a 04 Honda Civic i had just bought . I just wanted an inspection. They said I needed a new timing belt and some other things . Ended up costing 950$. A few months later I sold the car, not mentioning I had this service done. The buyers contacted me a few weeks later saying the timing belt was bad, (as a heads up, these were friends of mine) sent me videos of the one that was in there VS a brand new one, and it looked old, like it was never replaced. I strongly believe these people didn't even replace it, yet charged me for the parts and service . I wonder what else they didn't do . I came here after reading the good reviews , almost 5 stars and I'm very disappointed in thinking they were helping me and giving me a deal . read more

Honestly wouldn't go anywhere else. You're taken care of quickly and the work is always top notch.

I blow a tire and since my Cmax does not come with a spare, but instead has one of those stupid Temporary Mobility Devices, I have to wait for a tow truck. It's 4:00pm on a Friday and they say they can't get to me for another hour and a half. Express closes at 6:00pm so I'm freaking out a little (a lot). I start texting people saying I'll need to be picked up, taken to work, picked up from work and brought back to pick my car up on Saturday. The tow dudes hook my car up at 5:51pm and Express is less than a mile from where we are. We get there at 5:58pm but as we pull in the Express dude starts waving the tow dudes to back my car into the garage. One of the guys met me in the front, I picked out the tires I wanted, they put them on and did the tire dude stuff their supposed to do to make it all good and I was out at 6:15pm. #1 - they so did not have to stay after 6:00pm #2 - they seemed happy to do it #3 - the tires were not expensive #4 - my car seems to drive straighter now read more

These guys were such honest, fair, and hard-working people. They offered to work on my boyfriend's car a lot quicker (20-30 minutes as opposed to 2+ hour wait at a major auto shop nearby) for a reasonably priced fee ($20 as opposed to $60+ at the major auto shop). My boyfriend felt terrible as he felt like he was ripping the business off. He offered to pay more, but the guys smiled and waved the offer off. It is so refreshing to find a business that is not all about $$$ and wants to do good and honest work. My boyfriend and I both highly highly recommend this biz, and we shall return to them whenever we need our cars serviced. read more

This is the most efficient and friendly place to get your car serviced. I've been here twice and they are always extremely helpful and willing to go the extra mile! If your car is in need of service in Seattle- go here! read more

An honest and hardworking group of guys that have done me right every time no matter how busy they are. Friendly, fast service, fair prices.

Hello Friends, whenever you are in needs of New or Used Tires, Mr. Quang will serve you with a smile. They are professionals, fast service, and very down to earth prices. I had my flat tires, and have ask them to fix it, since the tires was old and not able to repair, they had recommended a used tires so I don't have to buy a set of new tires. $35 dollars later, I was on my way, instead of over $170 for a set of new tires plus other fees add up to be well over $200 at another Tires Store. Don't take my word for it, get in there and get your tires done right and cheap. Tell Mr. Quang, Do sent ya. Cheers. read more

I am writing this review as my tires are being changed. I showed up having blown a tire earlier this week, and these guys jumped right on the job. So far they have come off as incredibly direct, honest, quick, and industrious. As a woman, you have to do your research and know what you're going into before walking into a car shop or you can easily have the wool pulled over your eyes. I did mine and wasn't shy about pushing back and asking questions - why that model and not the standard wheel? Why put the new tires in the back and not in the front? Each time they explained it and pulled up industry standard material to support/explain their choices. I didn't have to doublecheck on fees for installation, balancing, and taking my old tire off my hands - it was right up front in their quote. My tires were competitively priced and the fees were reasonable. From the time I drove up I was immediately being cared for as a customer, and they put two guys to work within 5 minutes. Not only has the service been just what I needed on a busy day, but the guys were earnest and friendly. I would definitely recommend to my friends for their tire needs, especially my lady friends! read more

I took my car here in Dec. to have my snow wheels & tires installed on my Infiniti M35. The team here are all very professional and really nice. They were fast and the quality of their work is A+. I've since taken my car and my wife's car back to them for other repair services and they've done an outstanding job! What makes my experience even better is the honesty and fair quotes/prices. Sam and Danny are the two gentlemen that I've dealt with and they're fantastic! I recommend this shop to anyone who loves their car and wants excellent customer service, superior auto repair & tires, and fair prices. read more

Went because of the good reviews, got there the guy said it was an hr wait. I told him I had a nail in my tire but that I would come back. Came back he said at least an hr. Waited there for an hour, the. They look at it and said I needed a new tire and that they couldn't fix it. Maybe an ethical apology for making me come back and wait would have been good. But no! I know I wasn't going to give them over $100 dollars in business but it's unethical to make people wait and then say no we can't fix it, but we will sell you a tire. Drove over to Marty's in Burien and boom done in 15min. read more

Unlike most car shops, these guys have integrity. If your tire just needs to get patched they'll do that. If it needs replacing they'll do that and make it quick. This is one of the few spots you can trust. read more

Saturday afternoon and I'm 17 miles from home when I hear a weird thumping. Sure enough, a giant screw in the back tire. With 2 dogs in the car, driving home doesn't seem like a good option. It's 4:35 pm, and google tells me this place is the closest. Unbelievably, even though they'll be closing soon, the awesome team at Express Tires say they can help us. And they were super speedy, really reasonable prices, so friendly and actually ended up fixing 2 tires (4 screws total)! read more

Quick and painless. No wait on a Saturday morning. I had a flat they knew what needed to be done and I left feeling confident the job got done right. read more

Came here to replace my battery as it was the only place open on a Sunday. They quoted me 4 hours of labor, finished in 2 and still charged me for the entire 4 hours. Dishonest practices and unclear pricing guarantees I will not be coming back read more

We've been bringing our vehicles here for 7+years and the service is always great! Danny has no problem explaining/answering my many questions and always with a smile. Not only is he kind, personable and knowledgeable, but the service is outstanding! They're always quick and affordable. They don't try to up-sell you on things or swindle you out of unnecessary fixes. Their prices are fair as well! I've called other shops close by just to check and Danny's quote is ALWAYS less. I recommend Express Tires to all of our friends and family. read more

The name doesn't lie. They told me it would be a 30 minute wait when I called them to schedule a last minute oil change, when I got there they told me 45 minutes till it will be ready. Quicker than I expected. I had enough time to walk to the Columbia City Bakery for quick breakfast. I am quite happy with how quick the intake was. read more

These guys are awesome no does honest answers they were super straight up about what they could do and really helpful definitely give them a call and I'm sure they will take good care of you too it was refreshing not having people try to replace four tires for a patch job these guys are hard workers read more

Super fast service at a moments notice. They repaired our tire on a Sunday when everyone else was closed. Kind people.

We went simply to have a screw removed from a tire and have that tire patched, but we came away from Express Tires & Auto Services realizing this is one great place to get all of our car's needs met. These guys were super fast to fix that tire, doing so with kindness and charging a totally reasonable $15 for the work. But we also felt inspired simply because of how the man who runs (owns?) the place engaged with us and conducted his business. We are confident Express Tires can repair our Toyota Priuses without any concerns about the complicated engines of our cars because these guys have already mastered doing so and at reasonable prices--far more so than the dealers can or will. We'll be back soon, and we think you should give them a try too. read more

I got a flat on a Sunday and literally every other tire placed was closed. This place was a lifesaver! The gentleman behind the counter was super quick to assess the damage to my tire and gave me a reasonable quote for a replacement. I think I was in and out in about 20 minutes - it doesn't get much quicker than that! read more

Fast and friendly service. They installed 4 new tires quickly and for a really good price. You will not be disappointed.

Express tires is right! I brought my car with quickly-deflating tire to Express on a Sunday afternoon. They took care of me right away, gave me a fair evaluation, and fixed the tire issue within 30 minutes. I will absolutely be using them again! read more
