Still the best new tire, used tire, alignment, tire repair and tire patch place around in the San gabriel valley. Great for all your tire needs. Super fast, friendly and honest. I have been coming here for over a decade for all my cars tire needs and they always deliver. The owner is very nice and honest. They have a large selection of new and used tires plus alignment services. Way better prices than chain tire stores and dealers. Highly recommended! Plus short walking distance to old town Monrovia so plenty of places to eat or chill while they change or fix your wheels or tires.

AVOID THIS SCAM PLACE. I only leave 2 types of reviews, for really bad or really great service. THIS PLACE IS REALLY BAD!!! So this shop really scammed me in multiple ways. Mind you, I work in this industry, so most people would not realize they were being lied to, so here you go, read my story and make your own judgments. Note it is long. Here is the summary: Lied about the New tire he sold me. The so-called NEW TIRE he sold me was MADE IN 2013.... OVER 10 years old!!!! (What does rubber do over time??) Caused damage to my wheel (would not admit to it), and would not give me a receipt AFTER I PAID HIM $150 (Mind you I asked nicely before I complained, which I thought was weird, if I did a job for you, you paid me, and asked for a receipt, I would give it to you, UNLESS I WAS TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING). If you ask me, if this owner is willing to do this much on a simple tire replacement. what is he willing to do on larger jobs to get your money??? #1. I called the place and asked for the cheapest USED tire they had available in the size I needed to replace 1 tire that got nail/road damage. After about 10 min. On hold, the lady said NO USED TIRE. However, they had a NEW one they would give me a deal on, $150 INSTALLED/BALANCED. So I said OKAY and went to the shop. #2 Now mind you this was NOT the best deal, I researched the tires and these BRAND NEW GO FOR ABOUT $130, then add install/balance so I was saving like $10 in the end. Lie number #1 #3 Drop off the wheel, they said to come back with CASH. Now I usually appreciate this, but this is where the issue began. #4. I went and picked up my wheel and noticed some marks on it, at first I figured it was the tire lube you have to use. Kinda sloppy, but not uncommon. THEN I ASKED FOR A RECEIPT, THE OWNER SAID, "YOU DON'T NEED ONE" then wrote something on his card and then said that this was my receipt. #5 I went home and washed my wheels and realized they put a 12 inch deep scratch in one. I LOAD IT BACK UP AND DRIVE TO THE SHOP ASAP! I got there and let the owner know that they damaged my wheel and HE WOULD NOT TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY! !!! (Lie #2) #6 Now I'm kinda mad. The owner also said it was okay because the wheel was already marked up. While it does have some minor damage from over the years, because of THAT HE FELT IT WAS OKAY TO ADD MORE DAMAGE??? WWWOOOOWWWW!!! #7 (Lie #3) He then showed me a tire machine they had which had a bunch of tires on it and said this machine can't cause damage, IF they were using that machine, why did it have tires as a means of storage space?? (Obviously this is my professional judgment). NOTE THE PICTURES, YOU CAN TELL WHEN NEW RECENT DAMAGE OCCURS AND YOU BE THE JUDGE, THE DAMAGE WAS NEW. Again, the owner said they did not do the damage but again, I work in this field, he would have done this to anyone, He intimidates to avoid accountability. #8 So I then said, FORGET THE DAMAGE, WE ARE GOOD, JUST GIVE ME A RECEIPT (my work said they would cover this cost, just bring a receipt, so this was especially important to me) THE OWNER SAID NO! All the owner had to do was acknowledge on paper that I paid for a service, forget about the damage, and we are good and the owner said NO!!!(That's a best case scenario for him) #9 Owner offered to give me my money back and take his tire back. SO he wanted his tire back, re-damage my wheel, and then I just got free wheel damage, how fun. I was NOT RISKING THEM DOING ANY MORE DAMAGE!!! So in the end, I paid $150, got wheel damage, NO RECEIPT, got sold an 11 year old tire as a NEW TIRE. THAT'S A USED TIRE IN MY BOOK!! And never even got an apology. AGAIN I WOULD AVOID THIS PLACE! TAKE YOUR CAR TO A BIG BOX STORES WHERE THEY WILL COVER WHATEVER THEY DAMAGE. Not this scum bag. Think about what he had to do to make it right, just right on a piece of paper that I paid him $150 for a tire, which is what happened. Obviously he knew he messed up badly and was not willing to have it in writing but then never admitted to it. So I came here and other means to give people that dont know some insight to places like this.

Tire puncture

We hit a road debris on the freeway and the tire immediately deflated. The car was towed to the Monrovia Tires Company. The guys there are fast, professional and patched the tire in no time flat. While I was waiting for the tow truck with the car, the guys helped out several customers. So by 9:30am, they've already helped out a half dozen folks with tire issues. They provide a great service to the community and deserve our business.

Monrovia Tire Company is a reliable tire shop in good ol' Old Town Monrovia. They've spared me a few times when I was in need for a tire, but couldn't quite afford a new one just yet. They went out of their way to not only look for the size of the tire, but match the brand of the tire as much as possible. Luckily, we found a perfect match, which was great cause it didn't feel weird to drive off with a cheap brand. They've also patched up my tires and done rotations. Prices are reasonable and they get the job done. Call in advance before you stop by because they might be busy.

Great service! Staff is friendly! I was in need of tie pressure monitors because mine apparently died. They were able to take care of me right away.

My rear tire on the driver's side was slowly leaking. I attempted, but failed, to cure it with worm. On Monday, I came to this shop to get that fixed. I get out of the car and wait for my turn for nearly forty minutes. I received a call an hour later to say the leak had been rectified. I was told that the repair will cost $20 by the cashier woman. I paid for it and walked out. Two days later, I discovered that the slow leak was still there and was becoming worse. I thus went there today to ask for the correction. 1. The owner refuted claims of inadequate work performance. What I discovered is that the owner, who is disabled, consistently asserts that worms were not used in the repair of the vehicle. I informed them that was my job and came your shop fix it correctly 3 days ago. I even informed him that the young Spanish man had worked on it when I had been here three days ago. And I had paid the cashier $20. The owner saying that I'm lying because that repairs cost is $25. He ask me to pay another $25 to fix it. 2. I talked to he cashier woman. However she suggested that it could be another tire. She talks me like that I changed the tire to fix the tire leak. However, at least she didn't dispute that I wasn't there to fix the tire. 3. The Spanish mechanic who serviced my tire 3 days ago was aware of this, and he and the manager spoke with one another to verify that he performed the task in Spanish. It looked like that they confirmed. However, when I tried to talk to him, they wouldn't allow me communicate with him. They told me that he doesn't speak English. Then the Spanish person told me, "No English,". That means that he understand what we are talking about. Witty and evil. I had to leave the place since everyone there was really dishonest and intimidated me with their ranting. They refused to fix the tire.

From the moment you pull up, they make the whole process feel easy and stress-free. One thing I really appreciate as a woman in my 20s is that they actually take the time to explain everything they're doing and walk you through the service without making you feel uncomfortable or pressured. Unfortunately, I know a lot of women my age feel nervous going to car service places alone because it can feel intimidating or like you're being taken advantage of. I never once felt that way here. They were honest, patient, and genuinely helpful. The customer service is honestly top tier. They even offer you a water while your car is being serviced, which is such a small thing but makes the experience feel that much more thoughtful. The fact that you stay in your car the whole time is also a huge plus. The service is quick, efficient, and the staff keeps the conversation going so the time flies by. I was able to get my oil changed and still have enough time to grab lunch all within my one-hour break from work. I came back to the office talking nonstop about how great my experience was. I'll definitely keep coming back to Take 5 and recommending them to everyone I know!

I was distraught and very stressed out as I was far from home with a child and needed to get home asap. They were so kind and helpful, assisted me with everything, ordered me a new tire asap. I've never been to a Midas store but the gentleman that helped me that day and his team made me a fan of Midas forever and I'm very grateful to them for being kind, patient and so helpful to me and my kid on a very bad day when we really needed help. This is the stuff that sets one business aside from the rest, the care and willingness to go the extra mile.

UPDATE: Returning to update this review after another experience that confirms my original warning…read more Months after my first visit here, I discovered the technician had overtightened my oil drain plug so severely that two other shops could not remove it without specialized tools. One actually broke their tool trying. I came back to Midas Monrovia to have them fix the damage they caused. The service manager, Justin, verbally agreed the repair would be complimentary since it was their error. I authorized the work on that basis. When it was done, he handed me a $99 invoice and claimed I had "misunderstood". That only removing the plug was free, not the oil change itself. This was never communicated before the work began. When I asked for Midas corporate's phone number, he told me they didn't have it. Classic bait and switch. I've disputed the charge with my bank and filed complaints with Midas corporate, the BBB, and the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. Avoid this shop.

Shortly after leaving the property, I noticed my engine began shaking -- an issue that was not present before the service. I immediately returned to the location and reported the problem. I was initially told it was an engine misfire, then that it might be my air filter. The employee then suggested I take the vehicle to my own mechanic. When I explained that the engine was running smoothly before the oil change, I was again encouraged to leave and handle it elsewhere. After requesting to speak with a manager, the technician who had performed the service finally inspected the vehicle and identified the problem: the oil cap (oil capsule) had not been properly secured. This oversight caused a significant inconvenience and disrupted my schedule. While the technician who worked on my vehicle did apologize once the issue was discovered, the original employee I dealt with showed no accountability, offered no apology, and made no effort to resolve the situation.

Daniel took the time to thoroughly inspect the vehicle and clearly explained what they found -- loose rear suspension hardware and a missing trailing arm nut that could have turned into a serious safety issue. What I appreciated most was Daniel's professionalism. He walked me through everything step by step, showed me exactly what was going on, and answered all my questions in detail. He was calm, knowledgeable, and transparent. He also stayed completely professional and never made negative comments about the original installer -- he simply focused on fixing the issue and making sure my vehicle was safe. They properly re-torqued and secured all the suspension components and performed a full alignment to ensure everything was dialed in. The truck now drives perfectly -- stable, smooth, no more clunking or sway. On top of that, their pricing was very fair and reasonable, especially considering the safety issue they corrected. It's hard to find a shop that combines honesty, skill, and fair pricing like this. If you have a lifted Toyota or Lexus and want knowledgeable, unbiased service done right, I highly recommend RPM Garage. Daniel and the team truly care about safety and quality. Thank you again! -- Paul

So the filter cost more because my car is 2021? Theres fees I've had to pay more than what Groupon shows so just a heads up , not their fault, but just something they should fix. An example would be like "more oil is required then what shows on Groupon so you will be charged 8$" or something always comes up when using the groupon. Ended up paying 20$ more than what groupon showed to fill my lexus and get the proper filter. So the service was like 100$ total anyways. Ive come here twice and both times were unpleasant. Not sure if I come during bad times but although very friendly, it seems like the workers here are younger , more relaxed, and don't do the proper standard operating procedures. Like when you go to have someone work om your car , you can tell they been working, getting it , and seem to make u feel like they know what theyre doing. In terms of professionals? Idk if this place is it. I waited 1hr and 45 mins for a simple oil change and filter change? Mind you I waited for an hour and the worker tells me they brought the wrong filter. So thats why i stayed the extra 45 minutes. Total i spent 1hr and 45 minutes there today. I was also the only car there. I never judge a book by its cover , and on both times gave the benefit of the doubt. Then I leave and then see they forget to reset the maintenance meter and then don't update the gas mileage sticker? (first instance i came not the second, the second is the long wait thus what caused this review) Its frustrating when you trust people to work on your car and have to just hope for the best because you already paid for it. But if they're messing up minor details, what does that say about the work they did? Nevertheless, I will pay the extra 40$-50$ at my local auto repair shop where the owner does his work honest and right all the time. Im not writing this to bash the place but they forsure just hiring whoever can do "a simple oil change" probably not a place you wanna take a newer car. Maybe your beater or older car. Just wrote this so people who come for an oil change and expect it to be quality.. yeah based off both experiences , I cannot guarantee its gonna be this place.
