This was one of those situations that was beyond my control. During the afternoon of Friday 7/18/2025 at around 4:30pm, I was driving home from work when I had an unfortunate incident happen to me. My right passenger side tire hit a severe crack in the road (at Sunrise Ave/Fair Oaks Blvd) where all the gravel/roadwork is being done. This was not a pothole but a very large split in the asphalt that caused the tire (on my 2024 Honda) to completely tear apart along the sidewall. I also witnessed another vehicle with a blown tire as well as a motorcycle that suffered the same fate. Since I am pretty familiar with the way Sacramento County handles road hazards, I reached out to 311 (or if you're not in the county, the number is 916-874-5311). You will speak to a live dispatch operator and they will take down your information. I was then able to submit a claim by sending it to Risk Management. If your claim is approved (in this case with other vehicles getting flat tires), you will be compensated and reimbursed (usually within a couple of weeks) for out-of-pocket expenses. Keep in mind that they do NOT do claims on potholes but other serious issues such as the one I had unfortunately experienced on Fair Oaks Blvd. Fortunately, the whole tire didn't deflate entirely as I was able to drive slowly and carefully to "Greenback Tires & Wheels". Located directly on Greenback Lane and adjacent to Sylvan Road in Citrus Heights, this place has been in business since 2012. They also have excellent hours of operation as they are open Monday-Saturday from 9:00am-5:30pm and Sunday from 9:00am-3:30pm. Since this was late on a Friday afternoon, they were able to accommodate me as there were no other customers. I arrived here around 4:50pm, explained to them what had happened, and parked near the bay where they were able to replace my tire. I then gave them my set of wheel locks (to remove the wheel/tire), and they were successfully able to replace my damaged tire with a brand new one. Total time from when I arrived until when I left took about 20 minutes. The new tire that I received was a Westlake brand which is more of an entry-level tire but still good enough to last 60,000 miles. Total price including tire disposal fee and taxes came out to around $130. I will say that the customer service here is impeccable as the young men that work here get things done quickly and efficiently. They have a decent selection of car/truck/SUV tires of all sizes as well as a respectable amount of wheels to upgrade your ride. The waiting area has enough seating for roughly 5 customers. I also wanted to add that they properly inflated my other 3 tires to the proper PSI. All in all, this place is as good as it gets in Citrus Heights; especially when it comes to tire prices. They also specialize in alignments, tire rotation, and other small repairs. With that said and done, I am giving "Greenback Tires & Wheels" a perfect five-star rating. read more

I love this place. They are very helpful and fair. I've gotten two sets of tires from them and will continue too. I recommend this place to my friends and family read more

Do not come to this shop to get any work done with TPMS sensors. I needed a TPMS sensor replaced. I came with OEM Subaru ones that I purchased online. I asked an employee to scan the car and let me know which sensor was bad. Also I asked them to scan the new one I brought to make sure it worked before they took the old one off. They replaced my TPMS sensor and told me that it was auto-sync to my car after a couple mins of driving. Well its been 2 weeks and the light didn't clear so I drove back to have them use a TPMS re-learn tool. The manager started telling me how they can't help me since it was not a sensor that I purchased from them, even though his employee said that he would check if it worked before installing it. Long story short, the employees will lie to you to take your money and then not be willing to make things right. If I was told from the beginning by the employee that they would not help clear the TPMS light unless I bought one of their sensors, I would have just went to America's Tire and not wasted my time. America's Tire used their OBD2 scanner to relearn the TPMS sensor to my car, no drama compared to this tire shop. Manager needs to do a better job at making sure his employees don't tell customers that they will do something and proceed not to do it. read more

5 stars isn't enough to describe the service here. I have a Centerlock wheel and tire which I took off on my own and drove over as it was slightly leaking and maybe de-beading. I first went to a national chain who tried to upsell me on a new tire and then refused to do the work. A friend recommended greenback tires and wheels so I checked it out. Low and behold, they were able to do everything I needed for a very reasonable price. Additionally, they took their time to make sure the tire was seated back on correctly and did a couple of mounts and dismounted. A low quality place would have just sent me home without being thorough. I will definitely be back when I need some tire help. read more

These guys are great! I first called fire stone down the street , then big O. Firestone told me it was a 4 hour wait for a plug. The other guys didn't answer. I got here, a homeboy said give me 5 minuets. With 3 cars being worked! They actually acknowledge customers when the walk in. 5 star group of guys! read more

When I arrived, I was directed back outside to receive help, but no one greeted me. I had to approach a worker myself. He was unprofessional in his tone and demeanor and quoted $50 for a used tire, which seemed high compared to my previous experiences. The overall service felt rushed and unfriendly. I only came here because it was the only shop open in the area at the time. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

Great service excellent quality best prices around highly recommend. I've been going here for around 10 years I will pass up 100 tire shops just to get to this one read more

Amazing people, always looking out and they do great work!!!! They really value their customer

Thank you so much i greatly appreciate you you are amazing and truly a blessing in disguise i highly recommend you guys to any thank you thank you thank you i would give you guus a million stars if i could thank you so much!!!!!! read more

Horrible experience, would leave negative stars if possible. Brought in a set of lexanis and some tires to mount, charged 140 and they damaged my rims. 2 of them don't hold air. Go somewhere else if you have anything besides steel trailer wheels. Called on the phone and was told to bring them back in for free re sealing, bring them in and the guy says he's gonna charge me and is a dick overall. read more

Hats off to Greenback Tires and Wheels. I had been driving around with a slowly leaking tire for a few weeks, pumping it up every few days. I was sure that, as a woman, I would be told I needed a new (expensive) tire whether I really needed one or not. I decided that if I was going to be ripped off I would rather it be by a local shop than a chain. Pulled in to Greenback Tires and, almost before I could get settled inside, Sean (owner? manager?), came to tell me that it was all fixed, just had a nail removed, and his guys were checking the air in the other tires. $20 please. Shop local when you can. These are our neighbors. read more

This place is amazing! I probably called at least 25 other tire places in this area trying to replace one of my tires with no luck. Not only did this shop actually have mine in stock, it was by far the best price I had been quoted and I didn't have to schedule an appointment to bring my car in. All the other shops wanted me to make an appointment for a week+ from now. I brought my car in and was driving away with a new tire in less than 10 minutes. Truly the most painless tire experience I have ever had. read more

Always get quick services and affordable prices. This is my go to place for anything tire related!

I got flat tire, i pulled over into their shop and asked for quick help and they replaced new tires within 15 Minutes, best services highly recommended this shop! read more

*Honest Review* Extremely rude, go to any other tire store. I was quoted one price for a tire but then they raised the price. They also had me on hold for more than 15min (literally) while I heard them talk about a customer in the background. Extremly rude! Please look at the 1 star reviews for tire services. You will notice a pattern with this place. I have no clue how anyone could call their service "good." In person and over the phone they were aweful. Unfriendly, not helpful, and poor tire quality. If you love poor service and cheap tires this is your place! I would give zero stars if i could. FYI- they will tell you a tire is in stock then lie and say it isnt so that you buy new or more expensive tires. read more

Always helpful and super honest. They never try to sell me something I don't need. They have new and used tires. It's now my go to place for my tire needs. Good value and nice customer service. Strongly recommend. read more

I came there to adjust alignment after I installed new tires. What a mistake! The first warning sign was that a mechanic asked for a different price than I was quoted over the phone. Second, I did not get a print out after the alignment. The explanation was the printer is broken. I came back after realizing that my steering wheel is off-center and it was tilted to the left. The mechanic was not happy but he adjusted it again. However, now my steering wheel is tilted to the right when I'm driving straight. Apparently the mechanic cannot position the steering wheel straight. There is no point for me to come back the third time as I have no trust in this business anymore. Also the mechanic is not very polite and doesn't use words like please or could you. He feels like he can just command you what to do. read more

Came here because I needed my tire checked. It was a good tire but leaking air. He took the tire off and dipped it in the water and told me there was no leak and tire is good. He filled my tire up and a couple days later it went back down. Went to another shop and they found where the air was leaking from. Could've been on the side of the road due to this incompetence. Any reputable shop would've found this easily. read more

I had two blown out tires from hitting a pot hole. I had my vehicle towed here and picked up my two spare tires from home to replace them. They removed my wheels and began to replace my tires with the spares I brought and they said they couldn't replace one of my spares because it had a plug in it for safety reasons. So instead they reinstalled my blown out tire back on my rim and then put it back on my car and expected to me to drive home on a blown out tire instead. That was in fact less safe than the other option. read more

My initial impression was that they have the best price out of all the nearby wheel/tires shops in the area. They were able to get me in and out to install a new set of wheels even though they were about to close in an hour. The only issue that I had was my car shaking on the freeway. I had to replace my tires later on to alleviate the shaking while going +65MPH. I took my car to a different tire shop and they found that my wheels were out of balance and my tires had an uneven curve and I didn't have any of these issues prior to getting new wheels from them. read more

My car's tire had a bad leak in it, was hoping this was the place to go. Called a few times, but no answer to the phone just rang and rang. Went to their web site, and filled out a request to make an appointment. Received an email saying I'd be contacted within 24 hours. Four days later still no contact from them. It would be nice if businesses that used online contact forms like this instead of taking calls, would actually use them. At least Goodyear was there to fix the tire. read more

Great experience, I traveled from modesto to get in on a smokin deal they had offered. When I was dealing with Shawn he was was polite, professional and best of all honest. He had a couple of options for me when I got there just to make sure I was going to be 100% satisfied which I was. You can't beat their prices and selection awesome experience, I highly recommend them. It matters when you the customer are made too feel cared about and well taken care of which they did. I left there with no doubts of dropping $3000+ I will do it again, thanks guys. Joel S. Modesto, CA read more

I usually take all my vehicles here but no more. I recently bought a bran new tire here and within 2 weeks I got a flat. I brought it back and the guy said "sometimes that happens" didn't offer me a other tire or price on somthing else so I just walked away. Bad business not friendly will be going to America's tire from now on. read more

So I had two giant nails in my rear tires and they were not repairable. So not only did I just buy brand new tires last year, there 22' inch low profile tires so there not cheap. Since I was in the area I yelped where to find these tires, called here and they happen to have some almost new tires from someone who just traded for bigger tire/rims. Well I totally scored going here! Got both for $150 out the door! They were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Would of spent at least $250+ anywhere else. Tires were in almost new condition, completely satisfied customer. read more

Got a blowout in my rear left tire last night my wife owns the beauty shop across the street from this place I was in & out they took care of me very well very nice very friendly and got the work done at a fair price read more

Please don't go here. You can find my related comment on the A Plus Tire and Wheels off Auburn. These stores are owned by the same people. They sold me a used tire that blew out on the freeway with my family and I in it. I come to find out it was made in 1996 and was retreaded. I was not told either of these things. They not only dont have the decency to tell you when your life is put at risk but when I went back to them they were extremely rude and didn't want to refund me only wanted to put another old and used tire on. I jad to threaten legal action just to get my money back. They had no regaurd for what they did or even for the damage it caused the front of my car. Please don't trust them they will probably do it again and again. On a more positive note I was able to take my money to S and S Tires and they were very kind and understanding. Treated me with respect and were more than willing to show me the date code and ensure everything was good. I highly recommend you go there instead of here or A Plus Tires and Wheels I ended up taking read more

I was very happy with how fast they installed the tires until my car started shaking badly when I hit 70mph on the freeway. I stopped at a reputable tire shop on my way home and all 4 tires were severely out of balance. I would not recommend this place to family or friends. They did offer to have me drive 45 minutes back to their shop and try again to rebalance but it wasn't worth the hassle. read more

My second time buying tires here, i love them couse there super fast, not like other places that take an hour or more, prices are great and the guys are nice and friendly!!! Ive been to other places in town and am so happy to find this place.

Really quick and nice service. They instantly started working on my tires along side the other customers there. I only had one flat and it took probably 20 minutes max for them to change it and for me to pay. The prices were the best I could find in the area and the service was great. read more
