I unexpectedly had a flat tire on my way to the gym on a Saturday. I was stressed because I now need 4 new tires, since my SUV is all wheel drive. I called a few places and no one had 4 tires Luckily LB had the 4 tires I needed! They were very courteous and helpful. They were booked but they said they would squeeze me in. My car got towed there and they got the job done. The tires were expensive but I didn't have a choice. My usual spot for tires is Costco but that's in Kona and I'm on Hilo side. LB did a great job on my car and they saved me. They earned me as a new customer. Their staff is awesome! read more

Very respectable and dealt with out issue in less than an hour. I recommend them for all tire related problems.

Fixed the flat tire quickly with the most discounts. A newly replaced tire ( 6 months old ) was damaged by rim driving and was replaced with a comprable one at minimum cost. Thanks. read more

horrible service if you make an appointment, don't bother it doesn't matter. They take walk-ins over an appointment horrible service. There's a monopoly out here. I know, but go anywhere else if you can for your tires. read more

My RV is a big vehicle so a lot of places cannot even work on it. They were willing to tackle it even though it was not their normal type of vehicle. Grant (the manager) showed his dedication to service by helping me to figure out the problem with the inconsistent starter so I could complete my safety check. I am so grateful that the whole team helped me with aloha. Service above and beyond! Also, pretty reasonable on pricing. Thank you very much! read more

Needed to get the radiator hose replaced and made an appointment to fix the problem. Parts needed to be ordered in since they weren't available locally. Parts arrived on March 5th, schedule an appointment for Saturday, March 8th, to commence with repairs. Also needed to fix one of the hood latches since it broke in the morning, before heading into our appointment. Luckily, the latch cable was available locally, so both repair tasks could be done at the same time. Very happy with a well done job, am grateful to Malie and Rose for their assistance in the matter. This is our second experience with Lex Brodie's Wiwoole, and so far, have not been disappointed. read more

Delmar Cabay and the lex Brodie team are great and provide excellent service! They are truly professionals and knowledgeable about tires, struts, brakes, oil changes, and all your car care maintenance needs. I would highly recommend Lex Brodie tire service. read more

Emerald and the team of Lex Broadies Hilo were a huge help 2-31-23. I was far from home with our 8 Kohala High Cheerleaders at the BIIF championship. Our school van tire was bulging and dangerous. About 4:30 pm I talked to Emerald who quickly confirmed they had a tire. I got there at 4:44 where a team of guys took care of it. They had me out the door just after five and made it back to the Civic for the game. It was a much smother and safer ride back with my precious cargo. Thanks Lex Broadies Team! Jonathan read more

once again lex has da ohana style wonderful mechanics & office staff. mahalo plenti.

Scheduled a fluid maintenance appointment with them and showed up before the scheduled time. No problem, as I was checked in by Nikkole and she completed the pre-inspection and the truck was driven into an open bay...before the scheduled appointment. Fantastic!!! The work was completed in a timely manner and upon meeting with Nikkole, I was provided a comprehensive report on the completed jobs and more importantly, some recommendations from the technician on other small jobs should be considered. The timing was incredible as many customers came in after me for either scheduled or walk ins and the staff answered most of the work requests that weren't scheduled. All in all, the team from Lex Brodie's continues to do a fantastic job on the vehicles, keeping the customers informed, and have again earned 5 Stars from a satisfied customer. Highly recommended for your automotive repair needs. Mahalo Nikkole for being a great sport. read more

I have to say this lex brodies has the best service I've had with servicing my vehicle. I spoke with a young woman named malie and she was so sweet made it so easy for me to bring in my car to service. Thank you malie and the lexbrodies team for there service and customer service!!! read more

expect to wait a long time, expect to have to come back. This is my third trip here for my tires in 4 months. I bought 4 brand new tires. They didn't align them, so they made me buy 2 more brand new tires then they didn't balance them. I thought this was a tire place. read more

Lex Brodie employee, Malie continues to show professionalism, knowledge, and excellent customer service skills. She deserves a FREE LUNCH!

Well my first experience was last week, I needed rear tires. I roll in my passenger rear was almost flat. The gentleman hooked me up with a tire I never heard of, ok just because I never heard of it means nothing.... I love the tire. But first when they were finished the gave me a report on things they check and one was my transmission fluid, ( transmission was messed up, slipping but I never said anything). So I was very impressed. I made an appointment right then for 2 more tires and a transmission fluid replacement. When I got the care back it was like a brand new car. Not to mention that EVERYONE there is so nice and polite and take the time to explain what going on. This is my new go to place foe all things to do with my car. Thank you Guys read more

Fantastic service Friendly professional staff Reasonable prices (especially compared to the mainland) On holiday and rented a Jeep. Came out of hotel on first morning and had a flat. Lex Brodie's Tire was the first, and only, place Hilton Double Tree staff, and again at Blue Hawaiian Helicopter staff recommended. I tried four times calling Budget's Emergency Roadside Assistance line, average call length of 1-hour on automated hold (with one call topping out at just over 2-hours). The staff at Lex Brodie's Tire was a welcomed site, super fast, and got me back to exploring the island. Thank you! read more

A wonderful experience. Being seen close to my appointment time, knowledgeable and understanding staff, and great work and aloha by all! A true blessing to have found this place! Mahalo Lex Brodie read more

Driving across the big island of Hawaii (on vacation) we got a flat tire in our rental car. Went to Lex Brodie's to try to repair! Was not repairable. Unfortunately they did not have a replacement. These guys tried other branches to no luck. They were kind enough to check other companies and found a replacement. Amazing! Upon arriving at Firestone- they were aware and waiting! We are thankful for the guys at Lex Brodie's! read more

Look for current reviews. Bought new tires from them. Very happy with their service. They offered free alignment check and I have yet to take them up on it. Will write another review when that happens. I don't give out 5 stars. Aloha, Richard read more

Quality service with friendly employees. They have always been good to me and keeping my car in good condition and safe to be on the road.

Made an appointment to bring my new car in to have new tire sensors installed and get an oil change. 1. Tire sensor fiasco When i was given back my car, the tire sensors had not been properly synched to my car so I went back inside. I was told they didn't have the equipment to do it, and i'd have to come back after they borrowed it from the pahoa location. I scheduled another appointment and came back. My car disappeared into the shop for 15mins and i was told i was good to go. I got back in my car and the light was still on. "oh we never got the computer from pahoa to do it." after they wasted my time They called the pahoa store and I drove down there to have it done. why didn't they just send me there to start with? they should have said, "sorry, take it to pahoa they can properly install and connect your sensors to your car" 2. Oil Change problem Within days of my oil change, my "engine oil level too low" light came on and found that i was leaking oil from the drain plug because they reused a one-time use only crush ring. I was told Lex Brodies is notorious for hiring mechanics straight out of school, and alot of careless mistakes like this happen alot. Scary. Took my car to a different location to have the oil change redone. read more

I came to get a safety check and after they let me know I wasn't going to pass, the man asked if I wanted a print out of my fail. I've never failed a safety check at lex Brodie's before so I said yes, expecting to get a print out of why my car didn't pass. To my misunderstanding, I didn't realize I would need to pay for this print out as it wasn't explained to me, yet was assumed and implied I'd still have to pay the $26.11. If I brought it my car back within 30 days and passed safety, I wouldn't have to pay. I refused to pay bc I didn't want to bring it all the way back to a lex Brodie's when I have other options that are closer to home. The man asked the female employee in the room, who asked for the full story, and continued to tell me that it's MY FAULT I didn't know. For all normal business operations, it is on the business to explain full disclosure for when payment is to be expected. How can a consumer make an informed decision without all of the information? She was rude, lacked professional communication skills and fortunately escalated to her manager who said if I didn't take the paper, I wouldn't have to pay. Lesson learned. To the bitchy female employee, learn how to communicate with customers so they don't leave a terrible review for YOU. The rest of the MALE workers were helpful, apologetic and gracious. read more

Was assisted by Raven in person and on the phone and she made me feel comfortable and was really knowledgeable and didn't make me feel stupid or shame when it came to vehicle information and details. Also delivered their service faster than they stated, which is always appreciated. read more

High quality, fast, friendly service with great inventory for even hard to find sizes of tires. Picked up my car at the port and they squeezed me in between appointments and you can watch the work on your car in their cctv. Highly recommend. read more

Lex Brodie's Tires Hilo Wiwoole - Tires Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

I made an appointment online for an oil change, tire rotation, and alignment check. When I checked in I was asked if I bought my tires from Lex Brodie's, I said no, so I was told the tire rotation itself would cost $67 and the oil change would be about $100. The alignment check was free but if they found it to be off, then there would be an extra charge to fix it. The total cost including tax was $171 which I thought was really high considering I did the same service a year ago at a Lex Brodie's on Oahu for $75. I figured, maybe last year there was a special for a free tire rotation with an oil change and they just didn't have it here at this time. But after reading Yelp reviews after my appointment, apparently the Hilo location just has a different pricing policy so if you don't buy tires from them, you have to pay a stupid amount to rotate the tires (note: I was never asked on Oahu if I bought my tires from Lex Brodie's) The service itself was fine (although the total time took nearly 3 hours) and the alignment turned out to be fine so I didn't need to pay extra there. I just wish there was more transparency on pricing beforehand since I couldn't find anything on their website before going in. Here's a little price comparison I found while digging up old receipts (all oil changes and tire rotations on the same car): 2017 (Oahu) - $37.92 2019 (Oahu) - $67.79 2020 (Oahu) - $75.12 2021 (Hilo) - $171.51 I know the cost of everything goes up over time and maybe in 2017 there was a really good deal I snagged but idk. Even if I had lied and said I got my tires here to save $67, the cost would've drikl been $104. I'll be trying Goodyear or Firestone next to see how they compare read more

Rose was great. Got me checked in quickly and my truck was worked on and I was out in no time

Police report #21-070408 Update 2: (December 4th 2021) Before I had the alignment done on my Dodge Ram 1500 (see below) I had you do an oil change in Kona for my 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid (Vehicle ID HI-ZFY908 check your records) and your shop used 0w20 instead of the 0w16 that is required. Can't hide or fool anyone on this one it's on the sticker your Kona team put on my windshield. Lost 10mpg on my hybrid and couldn't figure why till I checked the sticker, sure enough it said 0w20 not 0w16 like even the oil cap says clearly. As soon as I had the correct oil 0w16 put in my mileage went right back to normal. Your guys are so completely incompetent they cannot even use the right oil for the cars, but I'm sure your guys can be trusted they didn't break my stereo too. What a joke. Stay away from these guys unless you want them to screw up your cars then deny it. I'll change this review the moment I am contacted about either of my vehicles. Otherwise if you don't stand behind your services this review will remain. Brought in my lifted Dodge Ram 1500 to have an alignment done. They broke my touchscreen stereo and claimed they didn't touch it. I have the receipt for its recent install. Cops called report number will be provided in update. Do not let these guys touch your truck or car. read more

We had really good service the first time we came here but this second time back has been awful. First thing when we came in the guy behind the counter told us it was going to be a long wait because we were an hour late. Luckily, I had the confirmation e-mail that confirmed our appointment was at 11. They were clearly running behind and thought they could blame the customer, thinking we would have no proof. However, even with our appointment and us agreeing to the new tires they up sold us, we are still sitting here two and half hours later and they haven't even started our alignment. If you want to blow a good chunk of your day waiting around this is the place for you. Appointments obviously mean nothing to them. read more

5 stars for tires, zero stars on everything else. Avoid this place like the plague when it comes to auto repairs not related to tires, monkeys would do a better job. Two mishaps so far, one is we took a car for inspection before buying it, they said nothing about a worn out control arm and front end. Later they wouldn't pass the safety because the front end was shot. #fail! Then there are the ridiculous diagnosis fees, which are a rip off. Next mishap is our car won't start so they charge us a diagnostic fee, they claim it's the battery terminal, which they proceed to fix with a wood screw. But the car still won't start and they charged us again for a diagnosis fee which amounts to nothing. These diagnostic fees should be outlawed in Hawaii, they are illegal in other States. read more

I took our Tesla Model X in for an alignment and tire swap this past week. I was met by Epi (my go-to guy!). He's become familiar with Teslas as I've taken the Model S and X there for alignment work. I highly recommend this company. The team is professional and pays attention to details - I really appreciate the seat and floor protectors that they place before getting into the vehicles, the comfortable waiting room (nice seating, A/C, plugs for your mobile devices, coffee and tea, water, free WiFi, cable TV, and video monitoring where you can view the cars being serviced), and the thoughtful service (the service advisor periodically checking in to advise of progress). Importantly, they are making it a point to understand Tesla cars and how to handle them. A key area of concern is how to properly jack up the vehicles, in order to avoid damaging the expensive battery pack. Epi and team - thanks for the excellent service this past Friday. You guys rock. read more

We found a nail in our front tire. It was time to change out the front tires so I called Lex Brodie's in Hilo first thing in the morning. They had my tires in stock and let me come in right away. Great service and friendly dudes. They also seem to have some good social distancing and cleaning practices in place to keep both customers and employees safe. We also take advantage of the extra miles we get in their 2 points per $1 deal. read more

We waited 3. 5 hours for a safety check on a new horse trailer and ended up walking out. At hour 2 we saw the inspector evaluate the trailer (he checked blinkers, breaks, his associate pulled our trailer forward). Assuming we would be close to closing out and paying, we checked in and were told the paperwork wasn't ready. No problem. At 3.5 hours we were puzzled by what was taking so long, but wanting to be respectful and asked if we could pay and pick up the paperwork later. We were then told that the trailer was never inspected. What?! Not to mention, it's a new trailer with no registration yet, all we needed was a failed safety. We walked out, went down the street to Chica Nakano's. 20 minutes or less later we had our failed safety for the trailer and they even safety checked our truck! Time is valuable, especially when you only have the weekend to get stuff done. That was just ridiculous. We are loyal Lex Brodie customers and felt 100% let down. However, the guy who initially helped us, Journey, was really nice. It was out of his hands, but he tried his best. read more

This service is a zero star! Appointment was at 1:00 to do an alignment. I got a call saying they were not able to do the alignment correctly and didn't have time to correctly do it. I also asked them to check a slow leak in my tire and they didn't even attempt to look at it. Then they tried to make me pay for it and asked me to schedule another appointment to retry. The manager stayed hiding letting his employee take the heat. He should have at least came out to apologize! I had to fight to not pay. Waste of my day. read more

Had a flat tyre and helped us change to the spare at no cost! Super nice guys. Dropped off for 1.5 hours and while we wait we could shop at Walmart just across the street to kill time. Highly recommended for tyre problems. read more

After finding out that I was in desperate need of new tires following a safety inspection at Lex Brodie's fast lube, I called over here to get a quote and schedule an appointment to replace all my tires. I had scheduled for the following day but called back to see if I could bring it in sooner because it would've worked out better for me and my schedule. Tiana was super friendly and said I could just drive on up as soon as I could. They were pretty busy and I was informed the wait would be 2-2 1/2 hours which is long but understandable! Their waiting areas are the cleanest, nicest, and most comfortable I've seen so far! There was a great children's play room too that my daughter LOVED. Will definitely be a return customer to this location. read more

The service was fast, efficient, and delivered what I wanted at a price that I could afford.
