It's me again. This time, Island Tire had to fix someone else's mistake. They diagnosed that I needed a service that they didn't do in house. Bummer. I found a place to get it done. The fix is holding, but the reassembly was a mess... and the communication was frustrating. I brought the car back to Island Tire. They quickly spotted the mistakes and provided documentation so the other shop would have to make it right. Island Tire just treats us right. That alone makes it worth it. One last thing: I was ready to put the other shop on blast. Nick walked me back from the ledge. Integrity and decency are refreshing qualities! read more

Amazing service. Despite the immense amount of pressure that running a business of this caliber entails, he remains friendly, professional and kind at all times. Work was done to specifications and relatively quickly. The quoted price was fair, and more importantly, the job was well-done. 10/10! read more

Had a great experience at Island Tire & Service! They were able to accommodate a walk-in on a Saturday afternoon. I came in with a nail in my Tesla Model Y tire, and they were quick, professional, and super friendly. They patched the tire efficiently, explained everything clearly, and had me back on the road in no time. Fair pricing and excellent customer service -- highly recommend! read more

I came to have my tire repaired. Tire had a screw on and a nail in it, and other tire shops refused due to "company policy".. possibly as an attempt to have me purchase a new tire. Anyways, this place took care of it... friendly, and professional staff. I love the waiting area with a bit of a retro industrial vibe. highly recommend. read more

Staff is very friendly, came in with a nail in my tire and they simply patched it up for me in less than 10 mins of no charge. Again very friendly will definitely be coming back if I have any more issues with my car. :) read more

We've been coming to Island Tire for decades and the service is always so wonderful. They're the only tire people I trust with either of our cars at this point. That's why when I had a leak a couple weeks ago I tried there first, expecting that they wouldn't have time for such a minor thing, but I figured I should at least ask. They took the car with no complaints, even though the place was an absolute madhouse of customer cars everywhere, fixed the tire, confirmed that my tires otherwise looked good and could take a few more miles, and sent me on my way for $37. I can't think of any car business anywhere that will even touch your car for $37, and they didn't try to upsell, they just made a very kind repair and sent me on my way. Island is truly a fantastic place. read more

Well, this review is long overdue... as Nick and the team at Island Tires has helped me numerous times over the last few years since I found this gem! The service done here for us has always been superior, with how quick they get back to me with timely updates as well as my vehicle. All the services performed have been done exceedingly well, never just the bare minimum of work that's asked to be done. I have been shown kind generosity by them even patching tires I got from them for no extra charge. They also give such an honest diagnostic review of the vehicle, at times the dealer has made me feel they just want money out of me to work on the car more, but here they let you know what needs to be done, as well as what can wait. They had even found an issue with my spark plugs and coils that seemed to have missed the dealers diagnosis! They have even been kind enough to let me know of other places that can perform services they don't provide, such as getting my car wrapped read more

This place is Amazing! They are all super helpful and work really fast. I was having some trouble with one of my tires and I was in and out I. Less than 15 minutes. Charles is great, the whole team is. Highly recommend this place. read more

We were visiting the area when we ran over a screw and got a flat tire. It was on a Sunday afternoon and we live 25 miles away. I was very stressed that we wouldn't be able to find a tire shop that can help us. When I came across this business on google I gave them a call and the gentleman told us to bring our car in even though it was close to their closing time. When we got there, they got to work right away to patching the tire. They told us our tires are very thin and worn (by showing it to us) so they might not be able to save the tire but they will try their best to get us back on the road. We waited about 30 minutes and they were able to apply the patch. The gentleman at the counter then gave us a very reasonable quote on the price of replacing all 4 tires, and only charged us for the patch. There was no upselling, no BS, just honest business and clear communication. We are so impressed with the service we will probably make the drive all the way out here to replace our tires. read more

I've been bringing my car here for a few years and they always do great work for a reasonable price. Nick has been really kind and helpful. I definitely recommend this shop read more

Spoke to Jose on the phone about ordering a tire. We agreed to have the service done next morning at 9am and that he would have the tire ready. I arrived and he lied and said the customer said he would call him back, speaking to me in a third person as if I was not the customer, which was not what happened. The employees were also complaining and argumentative with each other, too lazy and upset to check on an elderly lady's car for a question she had after she got her Corvette serviced. Stay away. Spend an extra $10 and go to pep boys instead, you really cant trust these mom and pop shops. read more

I've been coming here for years and have recommended it to many friends. José, whom I assume is the manager, is always informative, helpful and will work with you to find the best solution inclusive of your budget considerations. They're honest, reasonably priced, do good work and stand by their repairs. Recently however, I was irked and disappointed to find a neatly arranged stack of fringe political 'news' publications on the coffee table in the waiting area. I support the business owner's freedom of speech and expression, but as the country has become so polarized and divided, it's disheartening to see a reminder at my local auto repair shop. I suggest going back to having travel or car magazines for your customers, keep politics out of the shop, and maintain a respected business a neutral space. read more

Fast, friendly and professional service at a very reasonable price. I found my new tire shop!

Got the warning low PSI light on my car, went straight here (per my husband's instruction). They are just the nicest people. They patched up my tire and I was on my merry little way in less than 30 minutes. read more

Excellent Customer Service Jose is Very helpful. Technicians are all very professional. Charles Technician was able to help me with broken trunk Rod. Recommend Island Tire Service for any Technical problem you may have with your Vehicle always ask for Jose. read more

I absolutely love this place! Best customer service ever! I've been helped by Charles and Michael they both was amazing! Quick to help, exceptional customer service and very attentive. I don't live in the area but would definitely recommend this place to anyone in need of great reliable tires! With awesome service! You'll definitely be satisfied. read more

I've been here several times and always have a great experience. Great prices and very honest. Nick was the latest person that helped me out and he couldn't have been more helpful. I needed a new set of all season tires for my Tesla and not only did he go over options, he beat competitors price by a few hundred dollars! Thank you! read more

Dear Island Tire & Service, Thank you for taking care of my problems. You have a new customer for life! Nick and the crew were super helpful and amazing service from the moment you walk in. They fixed my tire issue and provided a top notch experience. I will be sure to come back for additional service. Thank you, Happy customer! read more

This shop came highly recommended to me by local and loyal customers, and their accolades did not disappoint! Island Tire & Service had great communication throughout my tire repair and oil change, including accurate wait time estimates, fair and trustworthy pricing, and honest assessments of my concerns. They even down sold me on new tires because mine still have some life left! They have ample indoor and outdoor waiting space aligned with their "island" theme, and friendly employees who stopped to pet my dog from a safe distance. There is also free candy, water, coffee, tea, and even some keychain tire gauges! I will absolutely be returning here to replace all of my tires within the year. read more

Charles literally bent over backwards to fix my tire. I came in close to closing time and with a big grin said I'll fix it. It would have been so easy to say we're closed after a long day but he didn't. Charles's customer service was exceptional and his technician skills were superior. I'm am thrilled with the service from Island Tire & Service. Thank you! read more

Not recommended they send me back and forth and waited 3 days to fix my car and every time they try to make it difficult and make them self busy They waste my time read more

I have been a customer here for possibly 10 years or better. I have always had a great experience at this establishment. Friendly and professional service. I recommend this location to the masses. read more

This place saved my holidays. I was out running errands the day before family arrived in town and heard a hiss from one of my tires. Called several nearby places and no one had time to check a tire. These guys were able to see me right away and find out that it was a metal shard in the sidewall that couldn't be repaired. Although they didn't have the exact replacement tire I needed, they threw on a used tire so I could get on with my holiday prep and said they would order what I needed and have it available for whenever I was ready. I'm so thankful for their superb customer service and kindness, knowing that if they treat (at that point, potential) customers the right way, people will come back. Because of how they stepped up for me, I was going to come back regardless of the price, but out of curiosity, I checked the prices at Costco and tire rack and Island was actually cheaper. Did I also mention that the waiting area here is amazing, with lots of retro car decor? It really should be a bar or speakeasy at night or on the weekends. Thanks to Drew, Nick and all the guys in the shop. I'll always be grateful they saved my holidays and will be back whenever my cars need it. read more

Great place! Brought my own tires. Was charged 333$ for putting on the new tires and an alignment. Thought the price was decent and could've gotten done for cheaper BUT. Man they replaced all four of my TPSM's (Tire Pressure Sensor Monitor)! For my car that's about 40$ each sensor online! Was blown away with that service added to my alignment! No places be doing that! You usually gotta bring them the sensors yourself. Highly recommend. Definitely coming back for other services. read more

This place is so great. Nick to a great care of my car. I was getting a check tire pressure all the time, and the first time one of the techs added air and asked me to come back at no charge. The second time, I went because I had more time to get it repaired, but Nick took time to check my tires and ir ended up not needing any repair. My car needed to be updated and everything was fine. Everyone here is very nice and professional, no wonder they have so many costumers. read more

I absolutely recommend these guys. I cannot believe I'm just now giving them a review been going for years. They are the most honest mechanics I've ever met. We are extremely loyal to them. read more

These guys are awesome. I've been bringing my car here for years and I will continue to as long as I live anywhere within a somewhat reasonable radius. By reasonable I mean, I live in Thousand Oaks almost 60 miles away- and I still bring my car down here. Yes, I know this shop is in Pasadena and no, I'm not crazy. Not only do they do a GREAT JOB- but Nick and Jose are the most honest guys in the business and will always make sure to take care of you honestly and efficiently. They offer reasonable prices and they won't try to sell you unnecessary services ladies! For the ladies- TRUST, as a woman in Los Angeles who has paid over $800.00 in UNNECESSARY car repairs, I have been completely gun shy about finding any car place to take my car to, but I tell you what- I was sent to these guys by a BUSINESS- not even a friend- and they treat me like I was a referral from a close friend. I've been in a few times and they have told me I didn't even need anything done. THAT HONEST! If you want a good place, that will really take care of you and not being taken advantage of is super important to you like it is to me, this is your new favorite spot. (Plus they have great coffee, WiFi, pens, and tire pressure Gauge keychains ;) Incase you don't already have one) I do love this spot- so lucky to have found a good car place!! Thanks guys for always taking such good care of your customers!!! :) read more

Came here on a last minute request to patch up my flat tire. Apparently I drove over a nail! Steve helped me out and the patch ended up being less expensive than quoted. The waiting area is really comfortable. There's free wifi, coffee, and water. The espresso machine was actually really good and made the experience much more pleasant than you'd expect dealing with an inconvenience such as a flat tire! I'm impressed with the friendliness, professionalism, cleanliness, and speed of the service--especially because I was a walk in. There were other clients being served too, and I think all of these positive reviews have merit! Thanks Steve! Definitely will come back for routine services. read more

Nick was very helpful and understood what my concerns were. He did the work I approved made his recommendation and I will be back to get those things done to my car. read more

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to leave this review but I don't know what happened to these guys. This will be the last time I ever set foot there, and I hope others with a poor experience follow suit. My first few experiences with them were awesome (hence the reason why I went back) but when I went to get my vehicle aligned, they completely dropped the ball and left it worse than before. The sad thing is, they lied to my face and said that there was possibly something wrong with my suspension components and that they weren't able to get it aligned to the factory specs. After letting me leave with a vehicle that drove like crap, I was forced to get a second opinion and a second alignment elsewhere. Magically, they were able to get it aligned to factory specs and drove better than when I first bought the vehicle! (Shout out to Andy's Alignment in Glendale.) I hope the $85 bucks you stole from me was worth it for this great review and a warning to other future customers. Question: Now why would you cross out the before values and why would I go back for a warranty on the alignment when you didn't do the job correctly the first time. How does the front right caster go from 3.8 degrees to 6.2 degrees when it is supposedly "aligned"? SMFH. read more

$47 to put on a tire (HELL NO!!) Basically remove the spare and put on my replacement tire that I'm bringing.

Came here multiple times and each was great experience. Friendly and helpful people here. Tire repairs were completed each time, I have bad luck with running over nails with different cars. But they always repair it, and pump up all my tires to specs. Never had any issues. Highly recommend them! read more

This is my favorite mechanic shop in town! I came here several times with my 2002 Ford Ranger pick up truck and was always pleased with there service and professionalism. A friend of mine recommended Island Tire&Service in Pasadena several years ago,so I actually drove all the way from Orange County to see these guys. I had issues with my clutch and my car was leaking coolant. After speaking to Andrew and getting a check up on my truck I was informed that my clutch was worn down so far it was the cause of my Ranger to have the lack of power and was also the reason it was so difficult to put into gears. After replacing the clutch with a new unit Andrew had the mechanic repair a leaking coolant hose at no charge! Now my truck runs smoothly and problems are no more. I went to 2 other shops prior to get a quote and was priced significantly higher than at Island Tire. I started coming here for my oil changes and general inspections and always feel well taken care off, especially as a female customer. I'm glad I know where to go for great service for my car, Thanks again! read more
