It is all about price, quality work, and great tires. I've seen some of the other reviews, I am not going to debate them, I would not go here to get coddled, that is for sure. But if you want great tires plus inspections, brakes, oil change etc., this is the place. It's a bit old school, but its part of the charm for me! Used to go here before I moved to California, never found a reliable place there. Once we moved back I returned to Hilna, and it just as I remembered! read more

i purchased my third set of tires here today.. waited in the hot august sun dripping while bieng shuffled around by guys unloading containers of fresh rubber tires, no coffee no fancy waiting room just a crowded busy sidewalk to jocky for a spot to stand as the b train roared overhead on , if you want fancy air conditioned cable tv waiting areas this is not the place for you.. But if your aim is to get a quick reliable pair of shoes for your ride come here from the ringing phone that seems to go unanswered to the honest low priced reliable service, the owner louis is quick to get you in and out and the guy that installed my tires kicked each one as a sign of good luck... brooklyns best i trust my car and my familys safety to these guys last of a dying breed!!! read more

It is my first time visiting this shop cause it's right on the corner. I'm satisfied with their service. Thanks to John who helped me find reasonable tire which I need to replace and able to take off the wheel lock for right price. I will come back in the future. By seeing this place is busy and packed, it does mean their reputation is good. read more

I went to this place because it was an authorized dealer for Michelin and I had a warranty issue with my tires. I had multiple cracks within the tire grooves on 2 of my tires. I spoke to Louie and he looked at my tires and said it is cosmetic and it was normal and unless there were cracks on the sidewall, he would go forward with the warranty process. I spoke to Michelin prior to stopping by and they concur it falls within warranty and take it to an authorized Michelin dealer to inspect it. Louie told me I can travel to California and believe me, I don't think anyone would want to take that chance. If anyone has a warranty issue with their tires, I would not count on this place to go the extra mile. In addition, all Louie had to do was call Michelin but he did seem to want to be bothered. It seems all he was interested in is selling tires. read more

This is the place to go for tires but don't get a wheel alignment. Car came out of the alignment far worse than when it went in. When I complained about it, they sent the guy who did the job to road test the car. It was like asking the fox "who ate these chickens?" Get the alignment somewhere else. read more

Picked up a set of 4 tires today. I paid the average price for them, no need to shop around. The sales men were polite yet very busy. They didn't try to sell me anything i didn't want. I really appreciate that! The time frame for the installation was pretty decent and the workers knew what they were doing. They even had to remove the locking lugs, which was done very quickly without damaging them. Definitely worth having your tires done here. read more

Called in to see if they could do a warranty inspection and order 4 new ones. I took my corvette zo6 there and Guy at desk told me to see Louis. Louis caught an attitude cause he said he was busy and was very rude. I walked out. They quoted me 1800 for 4 new tires. Wil Johns on Staten Island was a little more expensive but I know I will get treated better so I'm going there read more

My husband got his tires fixed here and one of the employees stole his sunglasses. Then my father-in-law got an oil change, they broke a part in the car, called my father-in-law up and told him it was going to be a 20min wait. Then after it was fixed Louie made my father-in-law pay for what they broke and said it's not their responsibility if they break something! DON'T GO HERE!! THIEVES!! Also I love how someone Louie knows wrote a 5star review so he can boost up his ratings! Please Michelle, what customer do you know talk about his TV Ads read more

Louis is the rudest person in the world. No only did he hang up the phone he was so rude to the other 3 people in front of me. For the life of me I don't know how this place stays in business. totally rude and disrespectful. read more

Went there to fix a flat, cost $12 and gave him $3 tip. The guy was complaining to his co worker that the tip was so little.

Great tire prices - almost half off what Volkswagen was going to charge me. Luckily, they didn't have my tire in stock but recommended Hilna. Service was pretty quick and seamless. read more

Good service!! Friendly people. These guys saved my life and told me about having no brakes. They cost so much less than the dealer and I only went in for tires. read more

If you want to get robbed, go here. If you want to pay for work your car didn't need, go here. If you want to pick up your car and not have the work done that you asked for, go here. Animals and crooks make the world go round, so if you want to witness that, go here. read more

BEST TIRE SHOP IN BROOKLYN! You won't find lower prices anywhere else and the service they provide is excellent. No matter who you are the prices are the same they never take advantage like most shops do if you are a woman or not informed. Highly recommend, only place I go to for tires and repairs! read more

I had originally wrote this place a positive review, after getting tires and an alignment at Hilna and getting a good deal. But I recently returned for another alignment, and I will never go back. In the process of aligning my vehicle, they cracked the aluminum steering column housing with the clamp that holds the steering wheel in place during alignment, and they refuse to acknowledge they damaged it, or deal with the repair. When I tried to talk to them about it, 5 guys jumped in to tell me I was wrong and my mechanic was an idiot. I've talked to two respected mechanics about it, and I am 100% certain Hilna destroyed my steering column, and put my life in danger. This is a $400 repair I now need, due to their negligence. Do not go here. They are morons who are louder than they are smart. read more

I brought my car in for a front wheel alignment this Tuesday afternoon. The Hilna staff turn out to be a hearty bunch of down-to-earth straight talking guys with a great sense of humor. They quickly and very precisely aligned the front end and charged a fair price. My car rides smooth again and I'm positive this is the place I'll go to when necessary. read more

I've been going to Hilna for over 15 years and can't say enough good things about the service. The owner Lou makes sure that his customers get the best deals on tires and has consistently gone out of his way to make sure that I drove out of Hilna with excellent service that didn't break my bank account. I've been to Hilna primarily for tires and a little work here and there on three different cars that I have owned. The service is unparalleled and is easy to access in the heart of Brooklyn. Thanks Lou and the staff at Hilna for a great 15 years of trusted service. read more

Tires are cheap, but I would rather drive to Pennsylvania to get any work done on my car than go to this place for the simple fact that they are a bunch of sub human savages who don't know how to talk to their customers. Getting cursed out, disrespected, and treated as though I'm an idiot is not worth the inexpensive price of the tires. Go anywhere else to get any car work done, because everywhere is better than this place. read more

Speedy service and great prices for tires. Definitely a great local place to go for tires. TPMS was intact after installation of tires. Bravo! Bring cash since the cash price is discounted. read more

I had a good experience here. I got four brand new Goodyear Eagle tires for a really good price. The price included mounting and balancing. They also did a wheel alignment and I could really feel the difference in my car. All the work was done in the time frame given to me as well. These guys are a little rough around the edges but the work is good. If you want the best price in Brooklyn go to Hilna. read more

I went back for another set of tires and as usual the service and the prices were fantastic. Louie wasnt so crusty, and recommended a great idea that even got me a rebate for a gift card and got me 4 tires instead of 2. I think this time I wont be so cheap with the stars, so here you go Lou and the guys 5 stars read more

Just swipe summer set of tires by winter one. Very bed costumer service. i got named an As hole !!! for moving my car. Mislead about pricing. Surcharge for using credit card. For already expensive service. Very bed attitude. Definitely I won't be back in spring to swipe tires for summer set. read more

I had a bubble in my tire after 6 months and he fought with the tire company and got me another tire at a highly discounted price. Louis is a great guy and I would highly recommend him. read more

Worst tire shop around!!! There employees messed up my rim after putting tires on and the owner wouldn't own up to it and fix it. Don't go here! So many better tire shops around then this one. read more

Came here to get new tires on the recommendation of my car dealer. I called an hour before getting there to ensure they had the correct tires in stock. Reasonably priced tires and the mechanic finished the job quickly. I would recommend Hilna for those needing new tires. Pay in cash if you want to save a few bucks. read more

Came to them to get a flat tire replaced and have my wheels balanced. I prepaid for the tire and signed the contract for the sum of all the work. Next day I arrived and was told that the labor would cost an extra 70% per tire and that I should either pay the extra or get out. Even if this was an honest mistake on the labor quote, it is no way to treat a customer. I received no apology about the fact that I had a contract signed for the work to be performed. So I was basicly shoved the money in my face and told to leave so that they can rip someone else off. To me it was not even about the money, but the principle of them having the nerve to play such bait and switch technique. So I took the money and left. They simply don't care about retaining customers, or simply trying to work it out in my case, but rather just the bottom line. I wont be coming to Hilna again and neither should you. read more

I was driving around 2 days on a donut because even dealer can't find tire. And 2016! But hilda had me in and out in 1/2 hour. Owner even let me use his office. Said he been there 40 years. I hope he is there another 40 because I will be back! Thanks Hilda :). Mark read more

Brought in my TESLA. Louie and his entire staff took great care of my car. I had a warranty claim with Michelin on 3 original equipment tires. He took a lot of time to deal with monotonous paperwork from Michelin, even though I didnt buy the tires from him. Tried BK tires on 65 th street what a bunch of liars they were. Louie was FANTASTIC. And he did a great job with a "different" type of vehicle. Couldn't be happier. read more

Women know the dread of going to a mechanic without a man. At Hilna you definitely don't have to worry. I believe this is the best shop to go to, and you will be treated very well here. I'm not the only one who feels this way, as I see plenty of other women go there alone, too. His prices are excellent and he doesn't try to sell you anything you don't really need. He's got a great team of mechanics. I only have praise for this shop. Lou, you are an angel. Thanks so much. read more

went here on a recommendations from 3 people from my office who all have been going to this place for years. I was hearing some weird noise from my engine when i drove and it felt funny when i drove. At first the manager louie was gruff and hard to get his attention but when things slowed down and less people were in the office he was funny and nice to my dog chewie. He called me when they were done looking at the car and was honest about my options. I went to the dealer to see how much a control arm, brakes and old change would cost and found out he saved me a lot of money. I will be back for my tires. If you need to save cash and are clear with what you want done then they will explain everything to you. this place was Great! read more

This may be good for tires but beware of getting ripped off for Inspection! Inspections are standard in pricing but if there is an issue that may cause it to fail, watch out! After the mechanic finished the inspection on my '01 Alero, he brought into the office three burnt out bulbs that had to be replaced.(there were four in total, one had broke when it was taken out) When John asked for the price of these bulbs, Louie yelled out $15 each!!! $60 for four bulbs that may have cost a total of $5.00. I understand labor but really? If you're going to Hilna Tires for an inspection, check all your signal and brake lights first. And if you read this Louie, whether it means anything to you, after all these years as a customer, I'm done. read more

caught a flat over weekend. shops were closed. looking online at tirerack.com for a new tire. was told to go to hilna because they have good prices on tires and service. because i didn't want to wait 5 days for one tire to be delivered i looked into hilna's website. i did not see my tire but my friend said to call and ask. i managed to call and got the most unhelpful guy ever. He asks size? i tell him he then tells me two prices for Michelin. Which doesn't help as i asked for one specific michelin tire and if he had it available. he repeats we got Michelin. $$$ or $$$ depending on which one you need ok. As I said ok he just hung up. Called the next day asking for Michelin series do you have in stock. he asks for size he says yes we got it. (to make sure i asked again) So you have the specific Michelin in 255 60 16? he goes yep $165 everything included. (very helpful) i asked if i can make an appointment he says first come first serve jokingly. i chuckled and showed up in a few hours. got it done in 20 minutes. EXCELLENT but took off one star for the guy who gave bad tude Don't know if there was much of a money save. Tire rack wanted about 160 including shipping but i'd have to wait 5 days for it plus pay a tire shop to install and balance for me. Hilna took $185 for tire labor tax. read more

Great place! Good service.nice people, and good prices for tires!! Can't be beat. Frank

Got referred to this place by my mother because she's been a customer here for years, I had brang my BMW to this place for 4 brand new tires when they installed the tires a light had come up on my dash saying wheel sensor malfunction and the worker told me that it would go away after driving for a few minutes witch it never did so later that day I had a service appointment for my vehicle at BMW and I told them to look into that light on the dash and they told me that whoever changed my tires damaged the wheel sensor so a few days later I went back to hilna and spoke to the owner Louie and told him that his guys damaged my wheel sensor, he took the tire off and looked into it and couldn't own up to the mistake that his guys made, was beating around the bush the whole argument saying that it was a coincidence that the light had popped up right after they change my tires lol how coincidental then the man who installed my tires said that "this happened to me because I didn't tip him" witch I gave him 20 dollars right after my car came off the jacks. These guys are freakin CROOKS they lost a customer for life STAY AWAY FROM HILNA there's so many other tire shops that will put your vehicle in better hands trust me read more
